    Thanks again, flesco. Yes, the boys weren't used to physical labor so their muscles got sore, whereas Pop works for UPS and his carrying some heavy packages everyday and making lots of trips back and forth, in and out of his van, that it didn't bother him as much. I believe Trey was enjoying making the boys squirm over the liniment, although he probably wouldn't admit it out loud. Thanks again for the feedback.

    Thanks, flesco, and this is a lot going on in this chapter. Ryan is gradually increasing his ability to fix simple meals and the tree house is nearing completion, weather permitting. The puppies are also getting some attention and exercise and the road trips in Texas are long between stops. There may be plenty of attractions in between, but they are operating on such a tight schedule that they don't make any of those stops, otherwise it might throw things off. They've just left a little extra time for bad weather, so if they make such a stop and then encounter bad weather later, they'd have to skip some other planned stop. Thanks for the feedback.

    Thanks, dutch woman. I'm glad you enjoyed this chapter.

    Thanks, Stix. I'm glad you're happy with how this is going.

    No, Josh didn't adopt Duck (Donald), but Josh probably would have if he wasn't so old, since he's approximately 9 years older than Vinnie, and if Donald wanted to be adopted.

    Yes, the tree house should be fun. As far as Holly, like some young girls, sometimes she just grabs a little something because she's watching her weight. Thanks, Danilo.

    Thanks for the feedback, Butcher. Yes, the tree house is done and Jake hooked up a pulley system for them to us, and I'm sure when the boys get back from Texas they'll be both surprised and pleased. I'm sure they'll also be relieved that they're not constantly on the road as well. Another good thing was that Ryan is learning to cook, and like most youngsters, he's ready to show off his newly acquired skills to everyone else. I'm glad you enjoyed that.

    Thursday started off much the same as the previous few days. However, this time I surprised Ryan when he asked a question. “So, what am I gonna learn to make today?” “I think you should start practicing on the things you’ve already learned to make, so today you can make scrambled eggs, home fries, and sausage links. I’ll just watch you as you do it, to make certain you aren’t doing anything wrong.” “So, I’m gonna do it all on my own?” “Yes, you are.” He seemed to take t

    Carolyn is not pregnant. Dustin's wife, Katie, and Cole's wife, Beth, are both pregnant. Yes, Duck (Donald) rescued Vinnie, and I don't know if you'd consider Allentown, PA and Towson, Md close. And Frankie was adopted by Josh.

    Yes, Tiffany has had a big impact on Ricky and he's come a long way. Josh didn't mention about Graham's student because he felt it was a private matter that Graham should be able to decide if he wants to share, and you'll hear more about that later. Yes, we're on to Frankie and Carolyn now, so we'll see what surprises we find there. Thanks again for your feedback.

    Thanks, flesco, and I'm glad you enjoyed this chapter. Yes, there's a lot going on with the tree house being rebuilt and the boys being in Texas, and you know how kids are with museums - they aren't impressed easily. I hope you continue to enjoy the rest of this story and I thank you very much for your kind feedback.

    Thanks, flesco, and if you're using this to plan a visit, you might want to check the earlier visits when Josh took the boys to the historic sites in Philadelphia (Book 4 of the original series, chapters 33 & 34. Yes, Tiffany has helped to get Ricky to settle down and their wedding looks as if it will be a major even, but who know what the future holds and if they'll have children. Only time will tell. Thank you for the feedback.
  13. Bill W
    Thanks for the feedback, Butcher, and the tree house is nearly done. We'll see how it turns out.
  14. Bill W
    Thanks, Stix. No, next chapter will be Trey again, and then Josh will be the chapter after that. Sometimes I had to double up on who's telling the story to keep the timeline straight. I think you'll understand after you read it.
  15. Bill W
    Thanks, Danilo. I'm glad you enjoyed this chapter. Things will be picking up shortly, because there's a lot more to come.

    Tuesday turned out to be a lot like Monday, except this time I taught Ryan how to make Western omelets because I knew the boys all liked them. I also showed him how to use canned potatoes to make home fries to go with it, and then he made enough for all of us to have breakfast together. As soon as we finished eating, the boys cleaned up the kitchen. Elliot, Ian, and Ryan headed out to work on the tree house again. While they were doing that, I decided to take Dobby and Flash for a long wal

    John, thank you very much for the wonderful comment and I hope you enjoy this book as well.

    Thanks for the feedback, Tony, as well as the added pressure from your final comment. As far as the lights in the sky, I don't think it was caused by a 'Stone's Concert' high, but who knows for sure. And who knows how long some of these groups may continue their live concerts. I guess that depends on how their money is holding out.

    Thank you for the feedback, and I'm a little surprised that I'm continuing this saga as well. It's just that I had requests from the readers to continue, so I put up a post to ask opinions, and there was more than enough support to continue. I'm glad you and the others are enjoying it, especially that Trey and Josh are splitting the early writing. Yes, Ricky is maturing and Frankie did a U-turn since his start with the family, and has done many amazing things, first when he was in the Army, and then as a member of the Pennsylvania State Police. The Currie clan has made some major contributions to society.
  20. Bill W
    Yes, because Ricky was such a little imp and prankster, he was the favorite of many readers. Now, we're getting to see a different side of him - a work in progress.
  21. Bill W
    Thanks, Stix. We'll be checking in with those at home first, but when we get back to Josh he'll be with Frankie and Carolyn.
  22. Bill W
    Thanks, Danilo, and you're right about Frankie. He didn't have a good start with the family, but he made up for it later and turned his life around. Btw, Frankie brought Benny into the family, not Ryan. Benny was the one whose mother made him stay in a dog kennel. Yes, Ricky is changing, but that's what having a girlfriend has done to him. She's introducing him to some culture and forcing him to mature. He even went to the symphony with Tiffany's parents. Thanks for the feedback.

    I woke up before Ricky and Tiffany on Sunday morning, so I went out to see what was on the news until they eventually came out to join me. After we’d all said good morning, I offered a suggestion. “How would you feel about going out for breakfast this morning? It will be my treat.” “That’s a great idea, but we’ll pay this time,” Ricky replied. “You paid for most of the things we did yesterday.” “I don’t mind paying for it.” “But we do, so if we do this then I’ll pick up the t

    Tony, thank you for your kind words, and I'm glad my words are helping you and others while we're socially distancing. I also wear my black mask like the Lone Ranger, but I seem to have lost Tonto. Please let me know if you find him.
  25. Bill W
    Thanks, Wesley, and that will happen soon.
