Maybe or a few farm boys

It will take a while to get it back in shape. He's determined and his dad will help

I like vinegar with my fish and chips also. So you Brits can no longer keep it to yourselves. I' not an ale drinker so I'll stick to tea and coffee. That cellar wine is probably a good brand of vinegar

Maybe, we will see shortly as he looks for help on the barn

Dad did come over the following Saturday. We worked in the garden, placing poles and spreading fertilizer. “Tomorrow, I’ll bring over the tiller, and we can work this fertilizer into the ground.” I spent the week preparing for my classes. School would start in a little over a month, and I needed to make a course outline. I did rent a car, they delivered it, but I had to drive the driver back to the agency. While there, I stopped at the grocery store and picked up a few items. I wanted to ge

Yes, he did very well. He was given a boost that many do not. An estate, in reality, large house, and riches form his father. Probably guilt payoff. The lad was smart, he had an excellent education including diplomacy. Because of his ties to Italy through his farther, he traveled in the right circles.

This is a family in action, with good friends and loving parents. Supportive relatives. I( needed a change in direction for a break.

She did take him to the grocery store

You have a lot for me to respond to. It was the custom that the eldest inherit, when they said no, it goes down the line., Ending where it did. If Pa left the house directly to Tony, I'm sure any relationship Tony had with the family, excluding Mom and Dad, would have been fractured. This way peace remains. Pa knew his sons and daughters had their own place and wouldn't want the house. The house had to stay in the family. Over time Tony will divulge what is in the safe, but only you , and my readers, and I will know. Let's say that Tony will not have to worry about money for a while. The home is large, 4 bedrooms on the second floor, plus the master bedroom and one bedroom in the attic. All bedrooms have access to a bathroom except the bedroom in the attic. Imagine on a cold night, sitting in front of the fireplace, with a good book and a glass of wine., Ahh the sweet life of Tony.

Yes, this is the same house that was build for the bastard son

Yep, and probably a few other cousins as well

Yes, that is love in action

I think Mom will take care of Marlene. I have never in my 83 years have figured out why people take things without a tinge of conscious. I have a feeling we won't see too much of Marlene.

Patience my friend,. All will be revealed.

To get to the jewels, so to speak, you need the combination. My guess is that Tony is the only one that has it. The challenge will come if he has to sell some of that money.

I'm sure there must have been something in that dresser in the apartment.

I think you have that right. Tony's mom knew about the ring, She seen it in the painting and has read the records in the library. She probably knows more about that house then her siblings, being the youngest./

He has been responsive to them and they are very proud of him

A good glass of wine helps

That is true, the characters change but the script is the same.

I took the bedclothes upstairs and made up the beds. I moved my stuff into the master bedroom. The master bedroom took the whole side of the house. Directly underneath was the library and study. Looking around, checking out closets, I found a secret. There was a seat in one closet, I sat on it, when I did, it started to move, downward. When it stopped, I pushed open the door, and I was in the study. I just laughed, a secret way from the master bedroom to the study. I wanted to see if it worked i

That will work for money but not possessions unless he sells that before he goes skiing

At least one. They remind you of crows swooping down on the dead

Your welcome. Unfortunately there are always those who want something after someone dies and never realize if they had spent more time with the individual they could have had what they want now.

I think Nonna had squared everything away when she became ill. She died of cancer and Tony's mom took care of her. I'll have Tony check with his mom
