I finally show up and this is the first thing I read.

Smooth sailing for a carefree start to a great romance is a great way to start a story. I love both Reg and Alex. I think the champagne bottle was a missed opportunity. They should have written a message in the bottle and seal it before throwing it overboard. It would have become a historical artifact instead of trash. 😆. Love your description of the romantic settings too!

I love the romance of this story. I know readers will enjoy not only the romance, but everything else that will come with the story. Don't forget my advice about Tags and make sure to add Romance to this tale filled with love. Gary is right when he says your romantic side is exposed.

Hi Albert! I got the last three and will work on them tomorrow!

Just a quick update. The river level is much lower and the city cleanup is in full swing. Still the rainy season, but at least the rain has stopped for now.

Good Morning Mischief Makers!

Good Morning Clo and Dughlas!

Good Morning Albert! This looks scrumptious!

I'll look forward to that! Say Hi to the family for me.

Hi Spike Good to hear things are well with you. Teasing Drewster again will get you in trouble my man. I miss you too.

Thanks Gary! I've been missing you all.

Hi All! I see you are all having fun. Gary, stealing sunshine? That's probably why we're sandbagging here in Chiang Mai. The flood here was the worst in 15 years. At least it has freed up some time for me to catch up on projects I can do at home. Hey Clo! I hope the trip to the apple orchard is fun. Make sure to stuff one or two backpacks with disposable diapers. I love the teas you mixed Bucket, that is with the exception of Billy Tea. Drinking eucalyptus sounds so wrong. Drew, buddy, I don't know what you did or said, but Moms are off-limits. Spikeman, how are you? I still see you have to deal with the poaching problem. Good luck! Dughlas, I see your power to see into the future is still as strong as ever! I am so envious. Hey Page, I miss your stories. Catch me up with them sometime.

Looking forward to the message. Take care.

I laughed when I heard that line! How are you doing Texy?

Hi Clo! I've been trying to stay out of trouble. Also, I am working with Albert on his project. Doing a lot of reading and cooking mostly. Tonight is dinner and drinks with my man Aod. How are you?

I'm doing good. How are you? Tonight is date night with Aod, so I won't be online much longer.

Hi Bucket!

Hi All! I hope you are all doing well.

Sorry Drew, but there wasn't a better collective noun to use for this group. How are you doing? I can see that neither you or Spike are staying out of trouble, so I guess everything is 'normal' for you. I saw that Clo is still perving over you two. Go Clo! Take care.

Hey Page! Not to worry, I get caught in things like that too. Kids grow up fast. It's hard to believe Max is in the 6th grade. I'm glad he still loves to dance.

Hey Spikeman! How are you doing?

Hi you bunch of idiots! I hope all is well with you all! Just stopped in to see if everything is OK with you. I see nothing has changed. I'm doing well, and trying to stay busy by doing a bit of this or that, naughty and nice. 😇😈 Gary, I agree about Kikkoman soy sauce. There is a similar product that Thais love from Switzerland, Maggie seasoning sauce. It's taste is very much like soy sauce, but made with wheat.

This is a joyful, light romance that left me feeling great. I enjoyed the characters, especially the humour of Aunt Sally. Don't miss the birds and bees lecture.
