I just hope that if George and Daventry have to stay until the assassination happens, they will be able to leave just right afterwards. I know George misses the high seas and I miss them for him. The cold of Russia is boring!

I do love this story! I really don't know what awaits after this one ends. If you have others in this series finished, or side stories of some of these guys. Or like you have hinted going back and having stories of the Adams' and maybe Grants even back to the very first meeting of their Great Great Grandfathers. I certainly hope you have a lot more ins store for us on these two wonderful families and the others that are tied to them. Keep up your gifted ability of telling a great story.

Wow! Great Chapter! When Raymond was doing his planning for the guest house and thought he knew who he intended on living in it, I kind of thought he might be planning on getting Danny's parents to come and live in it, so they could be close to them and also the future grandkids. Might still happen but that was my thought about his thoughts.

Wow! What a big job promotion for Jeremy. That is like hitting big in the lottery with a promotion like that. And just think, Jeremy and Tink will make great boyfriends!!!!! They will go far together! I had the feeling it was Jeremy unlocking the door. Great writing Jim! Going to be busy over the next couple of days. My timeline is almost like the one in this story. Tonight is New Years Eve in 2020.

Great Story! I don't know enough of the snake handling holy-rollers to even speculate who might be backing them. I don't think anyone of them with a lot of means has been mentioned or described unless it is the one rancher that Paul went to visit that was very negative to him. The rest are in jail or their money has probably been frozen until the trials come up.

Great chapter, and you cleared up some of your intentions for Larry and Runt. I am glad you are going to fix and remodel and enlarge their home and the Mobile / Modular Home is more temporary. You are doing a fine job with your writing. Keep up the great work.

I have liked the characters of Larry and Runt from the beginning, even thought this was the first time we got to actually meet Runt. It is pretty evident that they come from some very poor beginnings. But are thankful, and make the best of what they have. Even thought it is just a patched together shack, they have pride in keeping it clean and made it a home regardless of the condition the place was in. I hope the Mobile home that Raymond gets them is a top of the line model. I am sure it Larry and Runt will keep it spotless clean. Something about them two peaked my interested from the beginning. Talk about wild passionate sex. I bet them two, Larry and Runt can match anybody in hot love making!

Another Great Chapter. I thought a few Chapters ago when Danny made the comment at Christmas when he said, "But he's not and Adams" Speaking about Raymond, that I think somehow or another he really is an Adams.

When I read the line. "A gray-haired woman in her late fifties moved to intercept Jeff." First thing I thought was she had a gun, until she let into him with her filth. I am just glad I didn't have a mouthful of coffee when the voice like thunder shouted out “YOU MISERABLE FUCKING BITCH! DON’T YOU DARE TOUCH MY BROTHER”! But was it a man's voice or a woman's voice. Everyone seems to think its a woman's but I didn't read anything saying it was a man or a woman's. Great Chapter Jim! Got to get on to the next one.

My thoughts exactly!

What a great chapter. I enjoyed Danny's Christmas breakfast with his parents. You can tell they are wanting him to meet his life mate soon. Not realizing that is might be in their very near future. And wow they may be grandparents within a year. Just Wow. When Raymond mentioned Arkansas and a doctor helping him with a surrogate mother, Julie's words to Jeff and Paul came to mind. I think I know where they will get their twins from too. I really have the feeling that Larry and Runt may turn out to be some very special characters. I hope that Raymond gives them a chance to get the ranch up and going the way it should have been for years, and become life long managers for him and his growing family.

I have got things I need to get done, but no, I can't stop reading this story! But this is going to be the last chapter for me for a few hours I do have to get some done before 5 pm and it is 3:24 pm now. Thanks Jim!

Jeff, giving her his most contrite look said, “Darling, I would never, ever do something so gross to you. You are my princess and I love you. Besides, tomorrow is Christmas and Santa will be watching very closely. I don't want to be a bad boy and get ashes and switches for Christmas.” “I believe you and I love you too Daddy Jeff. But, I expect DJ will get those ashes and twitches cause he doesn't believe in Santa. He asked me not to tell anyone at school he doesn't believe cause it might hurt their feelings or make them mad at him. You don't even want to know what he said about the Easter Bunny. He talked about pages and oysters. He said those holidays were just to make it easier to believe in orgasmed religion. I told him I didn't believe in that, I believed in God and Jesus and Santa. I told him I wasn't too sure about a rabbit laying chicken eggs anyway. So he might be right about the Easter Bunny. I told him he didn't have to believe like I do, he is my friend and he can believe whatever he wants. I just hope he isn't too upset when he gets only ashes and twitches tomorrow. I’ll share some of what I get with him.”

I was sitting at my desk in my office at home and had just taken a swallow of coffee when I read "orgasmed religion". Damn you Jim. I had to clean up coffee off my screen, papers, on desk, TV above desk and myself. If this wasn't suck an very good story, you would be on my shit list at the moment. I can't wait to hear about the $100 bills being traced to sorry ass Fire Chief Bumpkis' bank account.

Loved it! I do think Ray and Danny are on their way!

What Wesley8890 said!

Great Story. Great Characters! Looking forward to the mayor being ousted from office and then the election for new mayor. I wonder if the church will put up someone to run against Joe. Also still looking for John and Wylie to make an appearance in this story. And what about Bill and Jed, I know Bill made has made and appearance at the scene of the shooting of Morgan. I thought they might show up at the Christmas gathering together. Keep up the great writing Jim.

"Queer as Folk" is what came to mind when he said "soap opera". I have never heard of "Gay Dallas". Maria is so very smart. She is going to put her daddies on the spot many times in the future!

Great Chapter Jim. You have developed some very good characters here. Whether they are a good person or not is a different topic. LOL! Keep up the great work. I did not realize that you had not been righting between "TR and COH until your comment in the last chapter. Hope you are at it again hot and heavy.

I am still glade you threw it out there. You got lot of response because of it. I think you knew before you asked what most would say. But like that you let your readers have some input on the story. Makes a reader or fan know that you do value their opinion. Doesn't always mean you will be swayed in what you write, but you do care.

Great to have gone back and read TR's Tale and now back to this one. Loving it. Times they are a changing!

Yeah Jim I was wondering the same thing. I think you said Carolina was in the title of that story. I may skim back over a few chapters I think it was in a comment in chapter 10, 11, or 12 that you named one I don't see in your list of stories.

I know I am commenting on your comment about 2 1/2 years after you made it. "But in Change of Heart" when Jeff got back to TX. and I can't remember who it was that was going to carry him out to eat mentioned the "Diner" he said he use to go there when Julie owned it. They told him that Julie had come back and bought the Diner back. So yes she is in both and the owner of the diner in both stories. Also you are a lot like me. I like the long stories or the ones that come in a series of books.

I loved this story Jim. I am glad you got me to stop after only reading the first 8 chapters of Change of Heart and read this one first. I actually thing me reading those 8 chapters first made this one that much better tough. Go figure. You did a fine job in your character building, your descriptions or each character. And of their backgrounds for a story only 13 chapters long that was well done. I am looking forward to getting back to COH now and reading chapter 9. Keep up the great work and start writing again without abandon.

I love it! I love it! I love it!. Julie just needs to find her a man! With her getting some nice cock she will be more dreaming of the night before than trying to read guys minds. Maybe I could join them in a 3some. I like sloppy seconds. LOL! Jim you have done an excellent job in writing this story. I love all the characters, I have even started liking Jed even though I don't care much about bdsm!
