Chapter 14 – Winding Up My Stay in Allentown
Bill W commented on Bill W's story chapter in Chapter 14 – Winding Up My Stay in Allentown
Yes, Danio, I'm sure every betting reader is putting his money on Richard having another boy he's trying to place, but maybe we're wrong. I don't think you're ever too old to be best man, if that's who the groom has chosen. Thanks again for the feedback. -

Yes, Burtcher, there has always been a lot of love at the Currie household and now Danny and Brandon are paying it forward by taking in even more boys. I'm sure Josh was touched by Frankie's comments, because he is an old softie, and he's proud with how all the boys have done with their lives. Yes, Richard's request has left us all wondering what he wants, but we shall soon find out. Thanks again for the feedback. -
Chapter 14 – Winding Up My Stay in Allentown
Bill W posted new chapter in The Castaway Hotel: Next Generation Book 4
Sunday morning, we each had a Western omelet, home fries, and toast to start our day, and then we got ready to go to the next place we’d agreed to visit, which was the Museum of Indian Culture. I suppose if we were being politically correct the name should be changed to the Museum of Native American Culture, but either way it was our first stop. We started out in the Northeast Woodland Room where we learned about the history and some of the customs of the tribes in the east that made the fo- 12 comments

Chapter 13 – We’re Together Again

As you know, I try to tie some current events into the story, but being a rural location in Pennsylvania, I'll try to avoid any major disasters. -

Danilo, thanks for all the suggestions and I shall take them into consideration. I'm glad to see that this story is sparking your imagination too and that you're enjoying this story. I like your suggestion for the door at the bottom of the slides, and I'll have to see if I can work that out for the following summer, since I've already written well into the fall and winter already. -

Thanks, Stix. I'm glad you're enjoying this series. There won't be a Captain Hook, but there may be other villains. I chose to write in first person, rather than third, because I've always felt that gives you a more intimate view of what's going on - and actually makes you feel as if you're in the room. Thanks for the feedback. -

Yes, it's probably something we would enjoy as well. I have a Peter Pan complex. -

Yes, the tree house is a major accomplishment and will bring many hours of enjoyment to the boys. -

Becky showed up around 5:00 on Saturday while I was working on dinner, and one of the boys let her in. “I’m not too early, am I?” she asked. “No, but your son and the others aren’t here yet. They should be arriving shortly, however, and Danny should be getting here soon as well.” “I hope there weren’t any problems with them getting back from Texas.” “Brandon called me from the airport after they landed in Pittsburgh, so the only problem they might have encountered would be ge- 12 comments

Thanks, Wesley, and school will be in session for quite a few more chapters. lol -
Chapter 12 – Frankie and Carolyn
Bill W commented on Bill W's story chapter in Chapter 12 – Frankie and Carolyn
Thanks, flesco. There is definitely a lot going on, and you're right, this will be a busy summer with two weddings to plan, and don't forget that Beth and Katie will be having their babies in the spring. Yes, Frankie is also doing very well in his career, and Carolyn seems to be doing well in hers as well, so they should have a very nice life together. Thanks for the feedback. -

Thanks, Stix, and thank you for the background information on the breweries. Yes, we got to learn a little more about Josh, as well as about Carolyn, and who knows what may be revealed in upcoming chapters. Thank you for the feedback. -

Bill W commented on Bill W's story chapter in Chapter 12 – Frankie and Carolyn
Thanks, Danilo, I'm glad you guys still enjoy learning new things from Josh's adventures. Yes, Josh gave you a look into his past as well, mentioning how he used to love the pinball machines and model trains. You also got a chance to find out a little about Carolyn, and Frankie's not really that old, but he does work hard and that makes him tired. Some of us also need more sleep than others. Thanks for the feedback. -

Bill W commented on Bill W's story chapter in Chapter 12 – Frankie and Carolyn
Thanks, Tony. With Josh being a former educator and principal, he's always emphasized the educational aspects of the trips he took with the boys, and I guess some aspects die hard. I'm glad you still enjoys these adventures. The were also meant to draw out memories of past experiences in the readers, as Josh checks in with some of the boys. Thanks for the feedback. -

Thanks, Butcher. I'm glad you are enjoying Josh's trip to spend some time with his adoptive kids and their partners, and it looks as if we'll be seeing more of them this year. I appreciate the feedback and your kind comments, and I hope you continue to enjoy the chapters as I post them. -
Chapter 12 – Frankie and Carolyn
Bill W posted new chapter in The Castaway Hotel: Next Generation Book 4
After Ricky and Tiffany left for work, I took my time and did some research on the computer before I left the apartment and set out for Allentown to visit Frankie and Carolyn. I had been looking at some sites that I could stop at along the way, since I felt I had enough time to visit a few of these places before I reached Frankie’s house. I knew he and Carolyn were both working and wouldn’t arrive home until after their shifts ended, and I didn’t want to sit in the car while waiting in their dri- 12 comments

Thank you, and many readers have told me that the various adoption ceremonies make them tear-up. Thank you for the feedback. -
Chapter 11 – Adding the Finishing Touches
Bill W commented on Bill W's story chapter in Chapter 11 – Adding the Finishing Touches
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. -
Chapter 10 – A Lot Going On
Bill W commented on Bill W's story chapter in Chapter 10 – A Lot Going On
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. -

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. -

Bill W commented on Bill W's story chapter in Chapter 11 – Adding the Finishing Touches
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. -
Chapter 11 – Adding the Finishing Touches
Bill W commented on Bill W's story chapter in Chapter 11 – Adding the Finishing Touches
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- 10 comments
