    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.

    You've given me some interesting suggestions to think about. You may see some, or possibly all, included before this book ends.
  3. 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.
  4. Bill W
    That's definitely a possibility.

    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.

    Thanks flesco. Thre is a lot going on, that's for sure. The birthday party was great and I'm sure Josh will do whatever he can to help Sally. Dion and Trey are spending a lot of time with TJ and it looks as if the time they spend with TJ benifits more than just him. Yes, Trey is teaching the boys to help out, and that not only will help the boys in the future, it also helps everyone at the house now. Thanks for the feedback.

    You're welcome.

    First of all, I think you have to remember that Brittany is a few years older than Holly, so possibly too old for the boys. Yes, Sally has some problems and I believe you'll find out more about them later. Someone is about to ask Vinnie and Kevin if they are going to have kids. As for your misspelling, my copy is exactly how you've spelled it in bold, as that's the same way it is in the chapter. My dictionary tells me that's correct. Thanks for the feedback.

    When we woke up on Sunday morning, I had everyone eat a large breakfast before we left to pick up Becky and Revin for church. We didn’t usually eat a lot before going, but we wouldn’t be stopping for brunch on the way home because of the birthday party. We were going to have a cookout and would be eating later than normal, so I wanted to make sure everyone was full and would last until then. I especially wanted to make sure the boys didn’t become grumpy because they were hungry and then start ac

    I've read plenty of author fantasy authors: Rowlings, Tolkein, Terry Brooks, Katerine Kurtz, C.S. Lewis, Anne McCaffrey, Ray Bradbury, Arthur C. Clarke, Madeline L'Engle, Asimov, etc. but I guess Eddings was one I missed.

    Thanks, Danilo, although I'm not familiar with the reference you made. I'm glad you're enjoying this story.
  16. Bill W
    Yes, I suppose there is some resemblance to that series.

    Early June 2019. That information is listed at the start of the Background chapter.

    Thanks, Danilo. When I was in England back in the 1970s, I visited a castle and this was basically they way the guide described the ancient toilet facilities in the castle. That's another reason attackers didn't want to wade across the moat.

    Chapter 18 – TJ

    Bill W commented on Bill W's story chapter in Chapter 18 – TJ

    Thanks, flesco. Dion and Trey are proving what devoted and loving parents they are, and hopefully this will be enough to help TJ get through the long and difficult recovery period that lies ahead. They have a good support system as well, with Josh and Danny being a pediatrician, so hopefully they'll be able to deal with everything that lies ahead. Brandon and Danny have their own concerns, with a large and growing family to deal with, but with everyone pitching in and doing their share, this will all work out and the boys will grow up to be loving and successful men, just like their dads. I'm glad you and the others are enjoying this new book.

    We'll have to wait to see if you're right about that.

    Chapter 18 – TJ

    Bill W commented on Bill W's story chapter in Chapter 18 – TJ

    Thanks for the feedback, Tony. By the way, I agree with you on this. I wonder how many of the people behaving irresponsibly and putting other lives at risk consider themselves pro-lifers. It's kind of ironic, isn't it.

    Thanks, Jim. The chapter was moving for me to write as well, since I was thinking about my children and grandchildren. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

    Thanks for the feedback, Stix. Dion and Trey will have their hands full for a while, but hopefully there will be no major problems. We'll all try to stay safe here in the U.S., but I wish we had COVID-19 under better control like you do in Germany.

    Chapter 18 – TJ

    Bill W commented on Bill W's story chapter in Chapter 18 – TJ

    Thanks for the feedback, butcher, and you're right on all counts. Trey and Dion are not only trying to learn all they can about TJ, but they're bonding with him at the same time. Danny will be able to give them information when different situations arise, but it appears that the entire family is ready and willing to help out. The boys are eager to do their share as well, and Josh will be willing to give a hand when he returns from Atlanta. Let's pray it all works out for the best.

    Thanks, Danilo, but you'll have to wait to find out. lol
