I hope by the time you read this you are on the path to recovery. This chapter had some answers, but also more confusion. I think/hope Don Costa is no longer a problem. I do wonder what, if anything Corbin has planned for Elias? I was tickled to see Elias "take charge" with Joseph and Orson! I disagree with some of your readers. Orson is not the only one to love and care about Elias. There is a group of men at a certain campground that are also in on the love and caring. More good writing! Thanks.
What a great story! And just in time for Christmas. I enjoyed reconnecting with Elijah and the guys. They are great characters! You've done a good job developing them and keeping them real. I especially like their dialogue! You have also done a good making it seem real. Thanks.
It is nice to get in a little visit with Lewis and Stephen during the holidays. They are such great characters! I can't imagine someone being like Lewis' father, but I know they are out there. The reunion with his brother was well done. More of your excellent dialogue and character growth. Thanks, and Happy Holidays.
No apology necessary. It was great to catch up with Brady and Ember! I reread a couple of chapters to refresh my memory, and enjoyed them as much as I did the first time. Thanks.
Fae stole my line. 😉 The plot(s) are indeed thickening. I am excited for the way things are progressing! I agree with the thought of four cops' intuitions keeping Elias safe. Thanks for sharing this story with us!
Remind me next time not to start reading until all chapters are posted! OMG! I don't know if I can wait! I'm on the edge of my seat, but it's a good exciting, worried, waiting. Thanks.
I reread the last part of chapter 21 and remembered why I loved this story so much! I agree with Fae, this was the perfect ending! Thanks. And now back to Camp Refuge.
Once again you have used your amazing writing skills to give us this terrific story! It seems like I often comment about your talent with dialogue. You seem to have an ear for what sounds natural and real. And of course you have created this wonderful roster of characters that I love! It was great to read a story about Chipper. I wanted to fill in your readers who were disappointed or frustrated with the ending. Chipper lost the contest to Bliss. Adam made good on his promise and helped Chipper with his first album. It went double platinum, and was the start of a long and successful career for Chipper in the music world. 😎😉😎🤔😎😆😎 Who ever said readers couldn't have a creative moment or two? 😃 Thanks Carlos for another enjoyable story!
Are you tired of reading "another great chapter" yet? It is true. It is another great chapter. Harlan is becoming more and more interesting. There is a lot going on. Can't wait to read more! Thanks.
Your poem spoke to me. I liked what it said. What a nice tribute to post Cognac's poems as a remembrance. I especially enjoyed his first poem. Thank you.
Great story! I laughed a lot, especially at the ending, which I didn't see coming. As far as the bus crazy goes, you both share in the blame. I do agree it gets frustrating when a person doesn't take the hint. The cookies sound delicious! I have had something similar, but never made them myself. Thanks.
A good Samaritan story is always a pleasure to read. I liked the ending with the promise of a new friendship and maybe more. I have had the soup at Olive Garden, and it is delicious! My favorite soup is called Autumn Soup in my family. It is made with hamburger, vegetables, and stewed tomatoes. Very easy; very delicious. Thanks.
Although that is a popular rumor, I am here to tell you it is not so. 😄😄😄 I bake ten smaller fruitcake every fall. I give them out before Christmas as gifts to friends. 🎅
My parents made fruitcake for Christmas in the fall. It was wrapped and put in the freezer. One was taken out at Thanksgiving to "taste test." I am one of those people who love fruitcake. We are definitely a minority. Their recipe was not like yours. Yours sounds interesting. I may try it. I really liked the story of the magic fruitcake. Adding good to the lives of the people it touched. Thank you.
The story was very enjoyable. I like the message and the characters are engaging. Your cookie recipe is almost identical to my molasses cookie recipe, and they are delicious with a capital D! Thanks.
I just get caught up, and this chapter ends with a twist! I must admit it is an interesting twist. I'm really enjoying Damian and Jordan. I hope this wolf pack stay is a good thing. Thanks.
Best wishes for many more healthy and happy birthdays! I enjoyed your trip down memory lane. We are about the same age, and my memory lane trip would have many of the same moments. Thanks.
