Howdy Bucket! Hope you have a chance to take that walk about you missed. Glad the weather is improving!

Hey Clo! Hope you are also having a great day!

Hi Man! How are things going for you today?

Hey Drew! I see that you and Spike are still carrying on your feud over BL boys. Hope you two are having fun. I know I am with the real thing. 😋

Hi Albert! Hope you are having a great day!

Hi All!

Rusty is a wreck and feels guilty as if he brought on the accident his mom caused. Roy fessed up that he was a monumental coward. August, Maddox, Jonathan, Dex and Kane all try to set Rusty right. Matty had the right message, but the wrong timing. What a mess. We can only hope that Rusty takes the time to think about what everyone said, including his father. Roy, I can understand somewhat. Living with a person whose mind is sick is extremely difficult after so many years. I do fault him for leaving Rusty to take care of his mom. Roy's excuse was so lame. He left a child to do a man's job, Roy's job. I hope that Rusty thinks about what his father said and realizes that Roy basically threw his son into a mess that Roy couldn't handle himself. Roy made it worse by not even giving Rusty the support Rusty needed to do the job. Matty has finally told Rusty that he loves Rusty. I think that Rusty understands that Matty has told the truth. What Rusty needs know is to realize that Matty does love the real Rusty, not the King of Sunnyhill. Hopefully, Rusty will realize August was right when she said what happened with his parents had nothing to do with Rusty. He isn't responsible for what either parent has done. Great chapter, Laura!

A very beautiful and sensuous chapter. How long it will take Otis to realize that Hudson wants to be his lover as well as teacher?

The guys are really bonding as a group. Scott quickly understood the game they were playing, but it was tense for a moment. The parents are the best. Greg's father does know what's happening, but accepts it is what Greg wants and is willing to put his own concerns aside.

I can completely understand why Seth's dad would leave a person as twisted as Seth's mother. It is a gross misstatement when she claimed to take care of Seth. Seth has taken care of his mother's mistakes as well as take care of Stacy at her mother's corrupt demands. All three boys are facing trouble. It is amazing to me that they can still trust adults like Aunt Marie, Uncle Steve and Mr. Ellis.

Sorry Spike, but I don't think anyone here has a PG mindset. We're all at least R or X-rated. I think we draw the line somewhere before the horse rides the cowboy. At least I hope so! 🙄

In Gary's stories they take turns on the top!

I love the western genre very much, and you are one of the very best, Gary! Your answers were interesting and informative. @astone2292' questions were very focused and insightful. Boundaries is a great short story, and I hope it will be expanded someday.

I'm sure you will hear no complaints! I really enjoyed your description of Connor's change. What surprised me most was the size of both Connor's and Shamus' wolves. Danny's hope that he will be 'dat pwetty' was precious. Also, the picture you created in my mind of the twins, Emmett and Danny in bed cuddled by their wolf cousins was special. Shamus' operations sound huge the way you described them. I wonder how many square miles are in all the ranches in total. Raised out west, I know that many of the largest ranches can be more than a hundred thousand acres each. It will be nice for Connor's parents to join the family. I was impressed that Shamus is thinking ahead by getting Connor known in town as he took care of business there.

Sounds like all is well in your world. Great to hear the news about the bonus. Morgan's employer sounds like a fair person who appreciates good work. Max once again shows his good taste. I love quiche Lorraine also. Just to clarify is Uncle Mickey an honorary family member or a bio family uncle?

Where are the Wisps taking Bucket? Probably into further danger if the ugly beast is the guardian of the door. At least the Wisps are going for Valrinda. I thought with their love of shiny things they would be compelled to go for the missing star first.

Are you trying to butter me up @raven1?😀 Response to the author:

Hi Page! How are you guys? I wish Drewdo was better at sharing his stories. Maybe you could tutor him?

Like @JohnnyC, I also want to know Pierre's back story in order to determine how I feel about Christian. Pierre is a great kid and I am enjoying his new life and freedom while staying with Colin and Armand. The fishing trip was a success and most of the kids will enjoy their rewards at Monday's paella feast. I do wonder what kinds of paintings Carl is contemplating as he takes pictures of the other kids fishing. The friends that got to go fishing have at least one or more great parents. That cheered me up!

I'm off to bed! Have a great day.

Hi Page!

I felt the same. The only thing I got was a small stipend to cover travel expenses if I claimed them. I lived 5 miles from the courthouse and took the bus so I didn't have to deal with parking in downtown Portland. At the time, had I filed for it, it would have been worth $5 total. Too much paperwork to be bothered with.

Great chapter Bill! I was interested in the way you described the additional difficulties Mac encountered as he refined both the wolf and bear shapes, sizes and movements. I thought it funny that it took Mac a while to figure out that Gramps was teaching him to mark his territory.

Another fun short story of teen lust and escapades by a master. It only takes a short read and leaves you feeling like a lusty teen.

G'day everyone!
