    When we woke up on Monday, Pop, Danny, Brandon, Noah, and Holly had to leave for work as usual, so Dion and I made breakfast for them before they left. Dad got up as well and came out to spend time with Pop before he went to work, so the eight of us sat down to eat. “So, what do you two have planned for today?” Dad asked Dion and me after the others had driven away. “We’ll probably take turns going in to spend time with TJ while the other one stays here to keep an eye on the rest of th

    Yes, I've had to take all of that into account as I continued the story, as you shall see.

    Thanks, flesco. I'm glad you enjoyed their tour of Atlanta. I've also taken the ghost story tour and enjoyed it very much and it gave me a new perspective of the city. I knew there was a lot of history in Atlanta, but I didn't realize the extent of ghosts in that history. Thanks for the feedback.

    Believe it or not, Stix, too many voters actually vote against their own self interests and suffer because of it. As the old Peter, Paul, and Mary song (Where Have All the Flowers Gone) asks - when will they ever learn? And I pray you and all the others on GA stay safe as well. I've lost a couple of relatives to COVID-19 and another recovered, but it doesn't mean there won't be further problems from having had it, so every MUST stay safe.
  5. Bill W
    Yes, I agree. That was an oversight on my part.

    Ouch, that's a rough lesson for getting playful. The Secret Service doesn't have a sense of humor when it comes to breaking the rules.
  7. Bill W
    Yes, it was a memorable trip for both of them and now it's time to head home again.

    Thanks, Danilo. Shannon and Nick did a nice job planning for both Josh and Jake's tastes, and now we are ready to move on to other things.

    After waking up on Thursday morning, Nick and Shannon explained how we’d be starting off our day. “We’re going to take you to the Jimmy Carter Presidential Library and Museum this morning. We thought you’d like to see that.” “Sure, it sounds good,” Jake agreed. “He was a peanut farmer who was elected Governor of Georgia and then President, so we should check it out while we’re here.” “His name was James Earl Carter Jr., but he preferred to be called Jimmy,” I added as Nick drove

    Thanks, flesco, I'm glad you are enjoying this little virtual tour of Atlanta. Yes, Shannon and Nick are both doing well and Josh and Jake are enjoying the time they're spending with them. The trip will continue, so I hope they hit some of the spots you enjoyed while in Atlanta. Thanks for the feedback.

    I'm glad you enjoyed this chapter. Even though I haven't iived in GA as long as you have, since I've only been here for 15 years, I have visited many of the places I wrote about, but we aren't through with GA yet. We still have Part 2 coming. Thanks for the feedback, Wesley.

    Unfortunately, there are too many people that don't have a good grasp of history or don't think about history when considering current events. It's a shame, because it would allow them to see where we've come from when considering where we're going next. Thanks for the feedback.

    Shannon is an accountant and Nick works in IT. A lot of things were in Coca Cola, including cocaine in the original formula. Of course, cocaine was an ingredient of a lot of medications at the time. Yes, it's deplorable to think how people could treat others that way, but some would still do it if they could. Thanks, Danilo.

    Our trip to Atlanta went very smoothly and Shannon and Nick were waiting for us when we arrived at the airport. “Are you hungry?” Shannon asked after he and Nick gave his dad and me a hug. “We probably could use a little something,” Jake answered, “but we should probably freshen up first. We had a long drive in the car to get to the airport and then the flight here, so we’re probably starting to get a little ripe.” “And after I wash up, I’ll help you fix something,” I added. “Ther

    Maybe I wasn't clear. What I meant is that I would have Joshie share his views when discussing it with others, like with his dads or with Benny. The conversations can be just as enlightening as narrating a chapter.
  16. Bill W
    I'll have to give that one some thought. I may just add more of his comments in discussion form instead.
  17. Bill W
    Thanks, flesco, and I'm glad you enjoyed this chapter. Given time, Dion and Trey will overcome their reticence about holding TJ and things will go well. Yes, Joshie is entering a time parents fear more than the 'terrible twos', but they'll all survive. The trip to see Shannon and Nick should prove interesting, and will give those of you who like the trips and the sites they visit a lot to enjoy. And we'll be seeing a bit more of Jeff too, as I try to fill the requests the readers made when I asked for suggestion for Book 3.
  18. Bill W
    You've given me some interesting suggestions to think about. You may see some, or possibly all, included before this book ends.
  19. Bill W
    Yes, things are looking up for TJ, and what Joshie is going through maybe just been the typical teenage issues with parents and peers.
  20. Bill W
    That's definitely a possibility.
  21. Bill W
    Thanks, Danilo. I've never tried the nutmeg on mashed potatoes and we are definitely going to hear from Jeff. Just Curious, have you given up on Sword?

    It was my turn to go to the hospital first today, so after I ate breakfast I grabbed several of the Disney themed children’s books from the play room before I took off for the hospital. When I reached the nurse’s station, the nurse saw what I was carrying and made a comment. “If you’re going to read those to TJ, then you won’t be able to touch him afterward.” “What if I wash my hands after I finish reading to him? Or better yet, do you have UV lights that I can use to disinfect the boo

    Saying the War of Northern Aggression when referring to the Civil War. Hell, it was South Carolina that fired the first shot, so how was the North (Yankees) being agressive?

    The lawn darts the boys are using have a weighted beanbag end, not the pointed metal tip.

    Thanks, Stix. As usual, there's a lot going on at the Hotel and most of it is good. Everyone is doing well: Xander's fitting in and the other boys have accepted him into the fold, and TJ is doing better and Dion and Trey are getting to know their new son. Trey is also teaching the older boys some new skills they can use later in life, but now you have to wait and see what happens next.
