OOHHH! So beautiful!

Hi Albert! I hope you are beginning to experiencing some good weather for a change. Say Hi to Steve!

I'll see if I can contribute a few degrees. It's been in the cool 38 C degrees here today, but I wouldn't mind sacrificing a few degrees for you Clo!

What??? You've been there my innocent young lady?

I'll take the garlic butter with mine please!

Oh @sandrewn, I love the way you think! I was also thing about the plural of word...I always enjoy more!

Me too Grumpy! I hope you are OK and just conjugating on what comes next! I am desperately missing the wonderful universe you have created.

I agree without a doubt. Veda, is that a reference to the old movie? Anyway, Seth's is much more complex than Stacy. Stacy seems a product of her mother. Their mother seems centered on retribution or hatred, but I don't understand why. How can a mother hate her own child even if she thinks he is gay? I know it happens, but to me it's almost unbelievable.

I hadn't thought about ant man, but great question @Danilo Syrtis! I too want to know if they are able to quantum jump. That would be awesome fun!

I just loved this! I suggest that both Maggie and Stacy drink a toast together celebrating their divine bitchiness.

Great point! That is something similar to what I thought. I had an allergy attack when I was nineteen and had to be assisted by a policeman who was kind, to a neighborhood clinic for help. That was in the days when policeman often walked their beat and the clinic was only two blocks away. The doctor helped me and I stayed with the clinic for years before I moved.

I enjoyed this year's Poetry Anthology very much, and look forward to next year's. The poems were awesome, and the number of submissions impressive. I appreciate all the work that went into organizing and publishing the poems, so thanks very much to all those listed above.

Not much change other that basically staying out of each others' way. Both Caden and Ludwig seem a bit lazy. Caden could be trying to learn how to find his own food. Ludwig doesn't need to sleep as much as he is doing. Both are judgmental about the other ones' beliefs and behaviors. My guess is their differences will probably lead a showdown. More from boredom than anything else.

I love the comment even though I also got a laugh. It was because of the fly on the wall comment. It started me to wonder, after the laugh, what are the range limits of size Grandpa can shift to? Is it possible to shift to the size of a blue whale, or a fly?

Blake's condition and the way his parents angrily berate him is disturbing. The parents seem to think it is his fault the police brought him to the hospital. There are many reasons a policeman might do that. It doesn't mean that Blake did anything wrong. He may well be the victim. I know that is stating the obvious, but it does show that his parents don't listen to Blake, and don't care enough to check with the police to find out why Blake was taken to the hospital. It also shows that the police don't have a reason to contact Blakes parents, so what is his parents real problem with Blake? I hope Seth takes the initiative to visit Blake and find out. From Craig's actions we know he is arrogant and feels privileged. He is probably also bisexual and definitely hormonally driven. However, there is too little evidence so far to label him a sexual predator. For now, I will just say I don't like the asshat. I too suspect that Seth's mother believes Seth is gay. No evidence, but it is just my guess. I also think it is why she treats him like a servant and favors Stacey. I wonder if there is a connection to why Seth's father left the family. Ronyx does like to keep us in suspense. There are so many questions!

Hi and Good Night Everyone. Got to get ready for date night with my man.

Ash and Ember is a wonderful story filled with love, hope and friendship. The characters are unique, but filled with love and loyalty. The story has all the elements of a great romance and far exceeded my expectations even after all the great reviews I read before starting to read the story. I enjoyed the humor, erotic scenes and the realism of the plot and dialogue. Everything blended to make this one of the best romance stories I have read on GA.

This is a very wonderful story with an excellent ending. I enjoyed reading very much. I never thought of John as a ghost. To me he was a real and ever present character during the entire story.

I bet you had a lot of fun fulfilling the fantasy of you readers. Thanks for this bit of voyeuristic reverie!

Very lovely proposal! I was right that Troy would need a kick in the butt to get him to say Yes! However, it was John not Beth that delivered the impetus. I should have known. John is always the one to set Troy right at the most critical times in the story. I love the way you developed all these diverse characters. They have very different covers that conceal their beautiful, loving and complex natures. Very well done!

Beth will be so good for Rhett! I love Grant's scheme for the proposal. I don't doubt that Troy will accept, but it may take a kick in the butt from Beth. It will be a shock for Troy and he will need to quick way to deal with his idea that marriage to Grant would be a betrayal of his love for John. That's why Beth needs to be there and provide the kick start to Troy's derrière. ❤️

It is going to be a lot more fun with Beth moving here. It looks like the evil author has a big heart and loves matchmaking. I did suspect that Rhett and Beth would hit it off quickly, but was pleasantly surprised at how the gang all picked up on it immediately. I loved how Aaron knew when to cue Georgette. Brian also figured things out fast and is trying his best to get Beth to stay.

This is a wonderful love filled chapter. Grant's parents arriving was a surprise, but I was happy that Sandra finally told Grant about her MS. I understand why she doesn't want her family taking over the vineyard, but puzzled about how Grant and Troy will be able to take over when the time comes. Hopefully that will be in the distant future, and maybe a new story to enjoy. A side benefit from the visit was that it gave Troy the motivation to reconnect with Beth. I am looking forward to meeting her. I bet it will be an awesome reunion that will be shared with Grant and Troy's friends. Hmm 🤔 I wonder what Rhett will think of Beth, and she about him.

I appreciate your comments on Sandra. I have a strong feeling that if her character were male, she would be perceived as a strong but loving person and not "a bitch". I admire much about her especially her honesty. She is truthful and clear which is often not the case with business executives or anyone else. She cuts through the BS in most cases which prevents a lot of problems from arising. I can deal with this much easier that someone who always tries to make nice and avoids issues.

I loved that you made me cry when Sandra told William the truth. Their very intimate conversations demonstrated the deep love they have for each other. That brought tears of joy. I am happy that Troy was able to help, and finally told the truth about Sandra's MS. It will help him prepare to support Grant when she tells her son. I really love this story.
