Way back when, I was a volunteer in the Oregon Zoo's Education Department. I got to work directly with the keepers and animals. It was a lot of work, but I loved it. I did have the privilege of hand feeding the animals a few of their treats. It was a privilege, because by then zoo veterinarians were putting animals on diets, because of health problems caused by the public feeding them food. I did love the day spent at the zoo and think a trip for the kids at the orphanage is an inspired idea. I also love the idea of children learning a second or even third language. Colin's trip to Europe will be even more interesting when he goes next.

Happy about the decision to get the security in place quickly. I bet the insurance cost will be very pricey. I also hope that plans will be made soon for Thomas' friends to visit.

I think that Armand is making a wise decision on the clinic. I encourage art everywhere, but art at the level of Armand's talent need to be both public and protected. A clinic dedicated to the health of children would not be a good place for one of Arrow's murals. I agree with Colin that leaving the job for art students at Yale, builds good will. It would also encourage art students and provide them with opportunities to create.

I'm hoping that the dads can find some of Tommy's friends from the orphanage to play with him on a regular basis.

Tommy has a much more normal life, and his Dad and Papa love him so much. He still has a touch of insecurity that was apparent when he check to see Armand had the painting. I may be a worry wart, but I hope the two paintings in the car don't get mixed up!

Is that your excuse for forgetting to add a side dish competition? Creek Fried Potatoes would have put Elaine at the top?

I am glad that Tommy was not a witness to Mrs. Withers' homophobia. Except for her hate, the adoption went extremely well. In spite of the hurt she caused her own family, I hope Mrs. Withers recovers. Pete's place for a celebration was sweet, and the grands all showing up at the gallery was a great ending to the chapter.

Thanks for the reminder Aaron. I saw some of your recipes as well as some from a friend posted there. I am going to add some of these to my cooking projects. Cooking project-the process of taking a great recipe and revising it over a period of time to make it my recipe. An example is taking a recipe like Beef Burgundy and adding some Thai spices to give it some heat.

Yeah, I can understand that. Your feet must still be aching after your last attempt on Canada failed to get you out of Texas. Just go soak those feet in a swimming pool filled with epsom salt.

And their all so quick, intelligent and ineffective.

You know we will never believe Page gave you permission for this.

So starts the New Inquisition! Oh, Sorry....MAGA has already started that again.

Thanks for the recipe @Al Norris! It's sounds so delicious.

A cliffhanger, but I'm not worrying. I trust in GG! The only question I have is will the family will surprise them by being in the court waiting for them?
-
It was probably the most difficult and emotionally trying chapter for you to write. My cat, Orange, really appreciated the work you put into it! 😛

Hi Page! How's things going today? Don't forget to update us with family stories.

Howdy Drew! I guess you had a bad day today. Don't worry about the atoll. I'm sure the hundred thousands of dead sea creatures will forgive you. Get a good night's sleep and everything will feel better in the morning little Hobbit young man.
-
There is nothing to be embarrassed about! Those stories are great! The Amsterdam Tales and Thrift Shop stories are great! I hope you manage time to write some more like these stories!

I'm sure the rest of the herd will keep you company. I am glad you are enjoying your classes. I usually enjoyed the classes I took for a degree in teaching, but there were some that were so boring. Usually it was because of the teacher and not the topic of the course. Aod and I are doing well. Aod got a haircut about ten days ago. Yesterday he took one look in the mirror and decided to get a haircut again because he thought the prior haircut had no style and just laid flat on his head. The funny part is that he told me three weeks ago he was going to let his hair grow long. My guy is very fashion conscious. All's well here with life back to normal and the temperatures range around the mid 20's C.

The interview was a win for both of you! Aaron's blog is a wonderful forum to learn about authors. You and Gnomie produced one of the best interviews. I loved the insights to your thinking, as well as the banter which helped others understand just what your were saying.

Gotham City may need the muscled superheroes, but the real New York has two superheroes that solve big problems without the violence. A great read to lighten the day and leave you feeling good.

Like @drsawzall I thought Justin's declaration of love was the best spoken words in this chapter. I also felt these thoughts by Justin shows why these two will be a loving couple for life. The story is just as wonderful as it was the first time I read it. Thanks Geron!

Yeah! I couldn't find a doxie, and got lazy (past my bedtime). I did find a gif that reminded me of my pet Chihuahua who terrorized a very obnoxious neighbor. Said neighbor visited mom to complain about everyone else in the neighborhood. I alway gave Jip a treat when she left.
