Waking up to the coolness of the morning and listening to the sounds of nature are pretty amazing but when the sun goes down and one is able to see all the stars above, that is breathtaking. ... until the thunderstorm comes and then not so much! lol

Nothing like a weiner roast around an open fire ... unlike the trustee ass roasting! LOL!!! LOL!!!

To do thing unselfishly for other is the sign of a true hero and yes, Adam is one in my book! ❤️

The first Board of Directors meeting and sounds like the winds are in the sails of the Academy. Excuse me though, I have to take this urgent call! LOL!!! LOL!!!

I remember the blackberry bush as a child ... more like 4 in the mouth, 1 in the pail, and purple hands and mouth from the juice! LOL!!!

"They will offer their resignation if you don’t pursue the case” Some cases deserve no leniency and this specific case is definitely one of those. Given plenty of opportunity and the snobbery thought themselves better than or above the law. I say 'roast their asses to the wall'!

“Do you know what I needed today? ... Good news and you just gave it to me.” A great way to start the morning here! Thank you and definitely needed! ❤️

The trustees are on a hightail because a fire is coming up the mountain after them! Pompous jackasses!!!!

There's about to be some singed butt hairs, Adam just took a flame thrower to their asses! 🤣

The trustees have been taking the parents for a ride WAY TO LONG!!! I still believe that, once the investigations are done, several of the trustees will have been found to have their hands in the proverbial cookie jar.

Won't the trustees be pissed now ... Adam owns the Academy free and clear! LOL!!! My my my how karma comes back to bite you in the ass. Shame on them all for doubting such an honest and caring individual. I'm about ready for a housecleaning of all the trustees. I've yet to figure out what good they are except bitching and complaining!

Adam's premonitions are usually spot on. Hope this is something positive that's easily handled. With the Ambassador on his side, they usually turn it pretty positive pretty quickly

Luv the banter back and forth that Marie and Adam have "after all 50% of the house is mine.” LOL!!! Sounds like the hospital trip is fruitful in more ways than just Anton's surgery ... anyone have a new intern available that's looking to take over a practice at the Academy? LOL!!! Guessing Uncle may be wanting to take over Marie's practice so she can move to the Academy full-time. PS, her practice comes with a fancy new ambulance! 😁

I would've asked ALL the individuals involved first and foremost. The "new grandparents" weren't even consulted based on Bill's initial response. Adam taking on the responsibility personally is one thing, but assuming the responsibility for others is quite another. What happens when Ann decides to have unprotected sex again which produces another child, does Billy now have 2 children before he's even finished college? Adam needs to stop enabling others behaviors. While Child Services certainly isn't the greatest option, it is an option and has produced some magnificent and successful adults. For instance, Steve Jobs, John Lennon, Cher, Eddie Murphy, Colin Kaepernick, etc were all raised in the foster care system. Taking accountability for ones actions (Ann & baby daddy) is part of growing up. Paternity tests and courts are there for a reason. Again, now Billy is shackled to Ann for the rest of his life. How does that leave Susanna feeling and the future she and Billy might have had together? My guess is not to grand. Already established couples struggle enough with the responsibilities of a new born - Billy and Susanna haven't even had time to establish there own relationship yet. Sure, had everyone been consulted prior to broaching the subject and an agreement had by all this would be a different topic altogether and supported with cheer but for Adam just to lay this responsibility on Billy, who is at this point barely 20 years old, and then expect baby boy Bobby to be raised by Bill and Jennifer, who were not even consulted, is unconscionable. Again, this behavior was reckless and irresponsible on Adam's part - a knee jerk reaction without even considering others. The male prefrontal cortex doesn't fully develop until approximately 25 years of age. This is where complex cognitive processing takes place. Does one even begin to think Billy was mature enough to even make this decision in the first place??? I think NOT and for Adam to even broach the subject with him - being an educator that has a child's best interests at heart - is extremely disheartening. Again, Adam, you screwed up on this one and lost a bit of my respect and trust! While this is fiction and my comments may not be popular, they are accurate based on the facts of the matters at hand.

WTH??? "I left Billy alone as he headed to his bedroom. I planted the seed and if I know Billy, he will stand up and be a man." Billy has no responsibility here whatsoever and Adam even "planting the seed" - also known as pressuring a young man to even have to think about making a decision like that - is unjust. A new baby is a TON of responsibility and having 2 years left of college as well as the Olympic trials in front of him, as well as being attached to that conniving low life that tried to capture him into this in the first place is absolutely unconscionable. This is not being a man, if the baby were Billy's then yes, I would agree. This is coercing someone into making a hasty life changing decision just because they have a 'good heart'. Adam, you screwed up on this on and lost a bit of my respect!

No wonder Adam and Marie aren't worried about having kids ... they already have 110 already!!! LOL!!!

Sounds like a lovely holiday on the lake with ALL the family present - Mom, Dad, Marie, and all the boys! What a celebration to be had and time to be cherished. All are so very lucky to have one another! ❤️

Camping with s'mores and royalty! LOL!!! One hundred and ten boys fishing, that's gonna be a LOT of fish. Adam better think about having someone restock the lake!

When someone knows they're loved and cared about, their confidence increases exponentially. We haven't heard a great deal about the overall staff but I'm guessing they're happy as larks and the boys are benefiting from that as well ... in addition to everything Adam & Co are doing for them.

"With a hug and a kiss, I headed to my office." Adam shares the same love he has for Marie with the boys - they're all family to him. Poor Charlie and his garden ... this is about the 8th time they've had to move it. He's definitely getting a lot of experience shoveling dirt! LOL!!! LOL!!!

Breaking a boys legs by extracting him from a car accident??? Being run over by a vehicle??? Unlikely the front seat breaking backwards in a collision. Sounds like Sherlock Holmes needs to investigate what really happened. If the jaws of life were needed, they'll be bought. If emergency workers were just negligent because they didn't care, I'm sure heads will roll.

An amazing story of a life full of emotions. There are no mistakes in life and Mr Montgomery was reminded that day of someone he loved dearly. Christopher provided so much more for him than the story will ever let on but it's up to the reader to decide what that it meant to him. Beginning from a sidewalk in the City, a smelly filthy young man got a second chance at being more than just "The Butler". Definitely recommend!

Like father like son. Gerry is definitely taking after Adam already. Though, I believe, Gerry had an amazing heart - caring and concerned for everyone - before Adam arrived on the scene. He's just able to cultivate it and watch it flourish. Heartwarming.

A new beginning indeed ... the 2nd new beginning with, of all people, the one we'd have least guessed. LOL!!!

Not liking the Gregory ass-hat so much at this point. Christopher deserves better!
