    Are you conspiring with Baby Xander? lol
  2. Tragedies seem to be a group effort in the Currie household to get the affected person back to normal. The family has done this many times already, with Pat's accident, Jessie's situation, and others, and now with Elliot. Btw, just so you know, Elliot's story was based on a real young man I became acquainted with when he got older. Many of the details were changed to fit the story, but the basics are all true. I included him in the story as a way to help him cope with what he'd been through and as a way it could share it with others.

    Nothing like trying to use flattery to get what you want. lol

    I'm glad you enjoyed it, since it was considerably different from the previous Halloween celebrations.

    Celebrations

    Butcher, I'm glad you're catching up with the story and are enjoying it. Yes, after enjoying their vacation together, they planned a birthday party for Frankie and Kylie and Josh didn't know they were planning to celebrate his 60th birthday as well. It all went off well, and now the grandchildren are going to be able to spend another week at the house, so everything is going very well and the grandchildren are back in the picture. It's good to see everything returning to normal.
  6. And a favorite of the parents visiting the campuses.

    I'm glad you enjoyed it and all the Curries get involved, maybe not in the actual even, but somehow, even the Grand-pappies.

    Thanks, Stix, and I'm glad you enjoyed it even though it was considerably different from the others.

    Thanks, Weley.
  10. Yes, this chapter had a lot going on and it was all very good. With graduations, retirement, and planning the commitment ceremonies there was plenty to affect nearly all of the family, and it's not over yet. The older boys will be going to graduate school and the commitment ceremonies are yet to come, so I hope you continue to enjoy it.
  11. After we’d taken care of the puppies and put them in their carrier, we ate lunch with the family and then Ryan and I got busy working on the Haunted House. His friends arrived a short time later and helped us finish up with the final details so now it was ready for visitors to go through it. Before we took his friends home, however, I told them what would happen next. “We’ll have the practice run tomorrow night, just as soon as it gets dark, and I want you to wear the same clothes you plan

    Chapter 30 - Joshie

    Thanks, Butcher, and this is an exciting time for the Curries. Dion and Trey are thrilled to be new dads, but they are also unsure about what to do, and then they have to consider college as well. Yes, they are lucky to have Josh and Jake at home to help out with Joshie, and you're right, I'm sure he will be quite spoiled and some of the uncles are jealous of his equipment. It will only get worse as he grows older, because I'm certain it will continue growing.
  13. Happy Birthday, Dave. I hope it was a great one!
  14. Yes, there's a lot going on again. Some of Josh's older children may possibly be mending fences with him and Josh is working with Jesse to reconcile with what happened to him. Hopefully, it will work out for all of them.
  15. Yes, Stix, and the new rules to protect the religious freedoms of those making the rules and limited the chances for the LGBTQ community to both adopt and foster kids. It's a shame and a huge step backward, so hopefully things will change after 2020.
  16. Jim, I'm glad you're enjoying this story, and yes, this gave a nice comparison to when Danny first enrolled at Penn State as an undergraduate. If I do a Book 4, the story will still be set with the country and politics in the background, and as @Stix pointed out above, the country has regressed in LGBTQ matters since Trump became President. I dread the day if Pence should ever become President, because he'll be even worse, but I'll try to paint the scenes as accurately as I can. Thanks to both of you for your feedback.
  17. Thanks, flesco, I'm glad you enjoyed this chapter. Yes, the weekend at Penn State started out awkwardly, but things eventually worked out, and you're correct about boys and puppies. The boys have been very responsible so far and hopefully it will continue.
  18. Yes, it was an unfortunate accident, but everything seems to have worked out with no long lasting repercussions. Andrew will be alright, and possibly he's learned a lesson about playing pranks in the process, and Jessie talked. As I mentioned earlier, it is said that God truly works in mysterious ways. Thanks for the feedback.
  19. I recommended that Wyatt stay home from school on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday that week, and then I cleared him to return on Thursday. Dad took care of him during the day and allowed Wyatt to come downstairs until it was time for the other boys to return home, and then he’d have him return to his bedroom. Trey would take over as soon as he got to the house and he spent much of the evening sitting by Wyatt’s side. Brandon and I were busy making sure we packed a suitcase to take with us wh
  20. Yes, I think Nick has learned a lot about himself and his behavior, although it might have come a bit too late. He'll be lucky if the genital warts are all he contracted from his sexual flings, but let's hope it is not too late for him now. He and Shannon have seemed to connect, but how is Jake going to deal with that knowing Nick's past, and will Nick be satisfied with just one partner once he's cleared to have sex again? We'll see, and hopefully all will go well.
  21. Yes, Jesse has been through some rough times, seeing his father murdered and been emotional abused by his step-father, so I'm sure he'll be better off at the Hotel with Josh and the others, but you never know where help will come from. As the old saying goes, God works in mysterious ways, so we'll see what happens here.

    September Birthdays

    Be careful, because spirits get vengeful when they're ordered around. 😜
  23. Yes, there was a lot going on in this chapter, much of it centered around the storm and the aftermath. They handled it well and coped with what happened, and before long things will be back to normal. Frankie also made a big decision since he couldn't get a job in law enforcement. His military training would give him the needed experience, and being a vet would give him an advantage in the hiring practice when he got out. Hopefully it will work out the way he wants. Thanks for the feedback, Butcher.
  24. Jim, thank you for the feedback and let me try to answer your questions. 1. Jake has always preferred to stay in the background. He doesn't feel as comfortable as Josh does when dealing with the boys, except for Shannon and now Nick, so he merely offers when it's something he feels more comfortable with, such as lending a hand with mechanical/carpentry/or other hands on types of problems. 2. No, I hadn't considered in Vinnie and Kevin might want to have children, but I'll give it some thought. 3. Yes, you'll probably be seeing the married hetero couples starting to have children as well. Thank you for bringing this questions up.
  25. Yes, Trey is definitely a doting father and I'm glad you appreciate the little details that I include in these chapters. Thanks for the feedback.
