Hello All! Hope you all had a great weekend.
-
That's a gross overstatement. I may not be able to attend, drink and dance for days on end at an EDM concert like my 60 year old friend, but I also do a hell of a lot more that some folks do that are half my age. 🤨 At least I can cook and change lightbulbs in the ceiling fixtures.

That sneaky Colin! He got a lot done on the trip back home during the vacation. He certainly knows how to keep a secret!
-
Returning home is always a great feeling now matter how wonderful the vacation. Now to get organizing the extra kids, and getting the backlog of projects down a bit.
-
A very successful vacation trip, when it wasn't a successful business trip. With GG's help, Armand and Colin take multitasking to a new level.
-
Where are they going to put all the extra kids. When you said 8 boys were you including Ronnie, Tommy and Richie, or are these new boys? Since they needed their parents permission, I'll assume they are temporary additions to the family. I think GG needs to take a vacation. The boys need some time to catch up on the projects. I am beginning to loose track of how many projects are in production and how many are already planned.

Hi Gary, Not to rub it in, but every time some one up north mentions the weather there I get a sympathetic shiver up my spine. That's followed by a content feeling about living in Chiang Mai. Next month you can do the same when you read about the record setting air pollution here. Burning season starts the end of February and I will be complaining when the PMI reaches over 400.

Thank you Gary! I'll claim him. There is something enticing and exotic about a face that is almost symmetrical, but not quite perfect.

Now that Grandfather has dealt with his obsession with the giant tuna of the sea, I hope he comes back with a huge catch of lobsters for Marko's restaurant. Geno is really a great guy. Working to help out Alesander, who he doesn't know, because his brothers want to help Alesander. I was foresighted of Carmella's family to delay the baptism.
-
Although I like all the ways that Armand and Colin are helping people, they are not spending enough time with each other. They are definitely working with each other, but not taking the time to do things alone together. They also need some one on one time with the boys that are growing up fast. The chapter was great, but I think Armand and Colin are stretching themselves thinly to support everyone else.
-
The house does sound like a lot of work to make it into a processing place, storage for the fish and a shop. There does seem to be enough room, maybe even a place for Alesander, his mother and Grandfather. The small truck is also a good idea. I hope this shapes up for them all.
-
California and Nevada seem to be a target for storms lately. I hope you and Steve stay safe! Say Hi for me.
-
Hi Bucket! I had bad allergies when I was younger. I feel for you and understand why you are exhausted. Sneezing requires a lot of energy out of the body. Hope it is only a temporary situation.
-
Hi Albert! Has the weather improved yet?
-
I do hope that Grandfather yields to GG influence. It would help him, Alesander, the fishing community, families in the area and the restaurants throughout the city. The boys are rapidly becoming mature young men on this trip.
-
I honestly don't care if there are some time issues. I caulk it up to artistic license or a slightly alternate universe. I use the same artistic license logic when details of the story show up in your comments, not in the story. The story is entertaining, informative and I enjoy it. That's my baseline. I just don't sweat the small stuff. Great chapter. I hope Alesander takes up the offer/suggestions by Armand. It will benefit all.
-
By the time they get back to the hotel it will be too late. Colin will have already arranged to buy the boat, fully equipped it and and have it ready for a fishing trip when you step off the plane, Armand. It think it should be named "Arrowmatic". Armand says and Colin automatically fulfills his the wish. Technically Arrow isn't Armands name, just his pseudonym.
-
Armand and Colin need to prepare for changes ahead as the boys get older. I am glad they are thinking about this now. Armand is smart in investing in a new business with Alesander and his grandfather. Also, I like the idea of a new tapas restaurant at home. Great chapter!
-
This is very true whether faced with an orphanage or a new housing development. It applies to large schools as well. The schools have limited space. New developments or something like the orphanage creates an immediate need for both new space, services and teachers. The funds for these are from property taxes that won't be available to the school district for a while. Especially if it is space that is needed.
-
We know that Alesander will always take care of his grandfather. Whether or not he gets grandfather to agree, Alesander now has a path to success. Armand's comment about going back to the US with Marie wasn't very subtle, but hopefully will be successful in the end. I am sure that the boys will make similar comments. She will have a more difficult time ignoring the boys.

Hi Drew, Wake up on the wrong side of the bed this morning?

Sometime @CLJobe I think you discriminate against female when it comes to fishing. It was my mom, not dad that taught me how to fish. Mom loved fishing and eating fish and seafood. Dad was more of a beef and pork kind of guy. I also love Dungeness Crabs having lived just north of @JohnnyC in Oregon. My favorite fish however was different. I love salmon, halibut and trout in that order. Armand was brilliant in sending Alesander with Colin to see Marko. Hopefully connecting Marko and Alesander's grandfather with bring business success for both of them. I suggest they follow @Anton_Cloche' business plan.

This is a word that I love to say just because of how it sounds. Some words can just make me laugh inside when I hear or say them. I do think it is also a word that applies to many GA authors who twist plots and push readers off cliffs. Great word for the day! -
I have not doubt that GG has struck again. The timing was too perfect. Alesander needs help, and I think GG knows how to get it to him and his grandfather. Maybe there will be a painting or two as a result.

Thanks for posting this link @drsawzall The pictures are so beautiful. Like I said before, Barcelona is #1 on my bucket list, and this cathedral is one place I want to see the most!
