Readers are pretty savvy, aren't they? I'm glad Ethan is finally getting help, both from his therapist and Elsie. While the cold sensory technique is an effective coping mechanism for him, it's not sustainable in the long run. He has to face his demons before he can truly try to establish any kind of relationship. (Also....if you ever need help with food descriptions let me know. "Breakfast burrito" just doesn't cut it. What was in it? What kind of cheese? How did it smell? Was it still hot? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣)

I wonder who they get their sick sense of humor from? 🤔 Dessert is coming up...keep reading!

Hope everything went well @mollyhousemouse. We made it back to Florida. Flights were fine, a little bumpy as we approached Sarasota. Had to wait on the tarmac for 15 minutes for another plane to leave the gate we were assigned to. It's bittersweet leaving Massachusetts. It's always going to be home. It was nice seeing family again. I met another friend last night for a 'quick' coffee and dessert.... two and a half hours later..lol. We’ve known each other since we were 12 and I hadn't seen in in about 4 years. It was good to catch up. Hope everyone is having a good week. It's back to work for me tomorrow...yuck.

And to think.... this was one of my tamer scenes. Coconut...yeah...NOPE!

Thanks Chris, they are good together. Nevermind the wrench....I went all out toolbox with this one!

NEVER! Coconut...... 🤮 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Apple moonshine and Fireball trumps coconut.... Did you not get the memo?

Kim/Kyle Konnection? All I'm gonna say is that ..... what you might be thinking... you're wrong...lol! Kyle and Jett are figuring it out....lots more ahead (I was gonna say 'lots more to come', but you know how all these clowns are🤣)

Thanks Mags! Kyle's ex was a total asshole and made him just a tad gun-shy. Kim and Kyle do have some sort of mystery connection. Exactly what? I'm not giving anything away...🤐😆

Back on Florida soil safe and sound! Nope, it's something totally different. ABSOLUTELY!🤐🤐 If @Mrsgnomie and I were to ever meet in person I believe the cocktails would be EPIC! Jett and Kyle are most certainly getting a bit more friendly. 🤭

I was definitely in the middle of my jalapeno kick when I wrote this chapter. I was adding them to almost everything! I've cut back a little recently...but I do like them!

Off the top of my head I forgot.. It comes up in a later chapter. They're not too far apart in age Good to have you back travlbug!

Kyle checked his face in his rearview mirror. He and Jett had decided to take advantage of the weather and squeeze in a barbeque before it got too cold to eat outside. The weekend weather turned out to be a perfect. A cold front that had been expected stalled a few hundred miles north and the temperatures climbed to the upper 70s with little to no breeze. Indian Summer weather, probably the last really warm temperatures that they would see until next spring. Jett had invited him and Rosie over a

Ooooooh....scream inducing cliffhangers? Moi? I did just spend nearly a week in pothole filled Western Mass. Lots of inspiration. 🤔 Y'all know it's coming.....eventually!🤣🤣 But it's so familiar!🤣🤣

I wouldn't exactly call them bumps... Maybe more like obstacles that can only be overcome if you Dukes of Hazzard over them like the General Lee!🤭😂

It's back to being overcast today. The sun is supposed to peek in and out today. I'll believe it when I see it. It's been 5 days of cold, raw and rain. Hubby and I had a little spat this morning. Pretty sure the crappy weather contributed. I'll listen to anything upbeat or if I'm by myself I'll put my U2 playlist on.

This is my favorite version of this song!

We finally saw the sun today for the first time since we left Florida. Figures, only one more day left. Hope everyone is having a good week!

Thanks!

Jett is pretty badass. Bruce is definitely pretty badass! Kim's story is coming up soon. You're smart to be worried.

Yeah...cats...🙄 The friendly ones are okay... it's the psycho, neurotic ones that freak me out. They seem to be more prevalent. We always stay at my mother-in-law's when we visit. During the pandemic she got a cat because she couldn't have company. My husband is allergic so I ended up getting an Airbnb. It's an apartment in a 120 yr old Tudor mansion. Luckily he hasn't reacted this visit so it looks we dodged a bullet. I love the quirkiness of the place. There's a lot of old Victorian homes in the area too and I've always loved them. This place has creaky wood floors, lead glass windows that work on a chain and pulley, slanted ceilings cuz we're in the converted attic and there's a ton of dormers. Beautiful wood baseboards and trim. Not to mention the old fashion cast iron radiator that will burn your skin off if you touch it! I love New England. It's home.

Yes I know better... but my Florida personal is optimistic Still not a cat person.. 😁 Oops...hit enter twice!

I was on a jalapeno kick for a while and was adding them to damn near everything. I didn't add too many at a time so they didn't bother me. I chuckled as I wrote the Butterbutt mishap.

Toddler snot is a fact of life for every mom. Even though it's been many years since my kids were toddlers I figured it was worth throwing into the story. 🤭 In case you haven't figured it out I'm a dog person. Definitely not a cat person.... hence a little harmless cat torture. 🤣🤣 I'm glad you're enjoying it so far!

Kim's secrets will see the light of day soon. We're getting a little more rain tomorrow morning and then it dries out Tuesday. We fly home Wed. Figures. Enjoy the rest of your long weekend!
