Flip-Flop

I also enjoyed reading your tale. Both Ruth, and the house seemed to be reacting from recent major changes. Could Ruth, and this house find a way to coexist, or maybe even begin to thrive together as partners? It appears they could! Sounds interesting, care to share any more about that?

The good captain prepared the 3 men for what to expect, and a list of the names of who will meet them upon their arrival at the port. He has provided them with good information. and also some very detailed warnings. Tomorrow, will begin their first test of many, in order for their mission to succeed!

Ditto!

So far things appear to be going very well. The ship's captain gave the three men very postive feedback, as to how he thinks their coffee beans will be received by the coffee bean buyers in Honolulu. I hope this proves to be true. The experienced captain is well versed about this topic, so let's hope that his predictions do come true!

I was a little shocked by the swift sexual attraction or lust between the Major and Loretta. I was not expecting that. Bernie will have his own shock coming to him soon! We will be waiting, to see how this all will work out. More legal stuff ahead,,,,

What a tough chapter this was packed with Taylor's uncontrollable dread, and emotions. He has support, but he must first face the expected blowback due to his drunken actions. This will not be easy for him, but he has little choice to do otherwise in this matter. Taylor has to be worried what Stephanie's cruel actions will entail!

We are now at chapter 34 of @Paladin's story. Perhaps he should have named his story "in constant turmoil"? Simon's workload increases with each added chapter! How true @Lynx003. Simon has proven to be worth his weight in gold. There never seems to be a dull moment in this story. Our author is constantly keeping us 0n Our Toes here!

I loved our trip down the "memory lane" of growing up in rural small town 60's America. Many of your side stories rang very true for me. You are blessed that you could come back and retire there, without it having suffered from dreaded urban sprawl. I could relate to your story, and enjoyed reading it! I agree❣️

Congratulations @Brayon! I hope things are going well for you!❣️🎂

It is good to see everyone working together as a team with shared goals, and having a plan for a successful sale of the crop harvest. They all realize that this is needed, in order to secure a brighter future for the plantation and themselves. They are showing their faith in Julian as a very caring person, and as their new leader.

Happy Birthday Albert! Yesterday was my own birthday. We made it through another year! Wishing you the very best. 💙

Oops

Wow, this is yet another reason of concern, for the Major's team, and which could also include their family's safety. There never seems to be a dull moment, in this @Lee Wilson story.

It is the next day after the ceremony for Sam being lost at sea, and Julian seems very willing to accept a deeper relationship with Daniel. I really do like Daniel, but this seems to have been a very quick decision by Julian to move on, to a future together with him. Daniel said he was willing to wait but it appears that Julian is ready to take this relationship to the next level, very soon. I have the same gut feeling as @drsawzall, "that there is another shoe to drop.." source unknown. This was after all, the first in depth discussion about their growing feelings for each other. Like @mayday, I too was uncertain of the timeline of Julian's arrival at the plantation. I'm glad this was now made clear. I do love your excellent story, but these are a few of the odd thoughts that are spinning around in my mind at this late hour (2:00 AM). It has been a very busy day and I finally found some time to comment!

Wow, Taylor made a lot of poor choices here, and I have no idea of what will be the results of his actions. I'm really looking forward to reading our next chapter. I expect all kinds of blowback, due to the foolish, and drunken actions that Tay made in this chapter. Bernie is a very good lawyer, and mentor, but he is not a miracle worker! Yikes!

This seems to be very wise advice from someone who knows you better than anyone, and cares about your well-being. I urge you not to take any actions in haste. Your path forward is important to all who cares about YOU, as a serious author and person, with a truly authentic voice here on GA.

Thanks @Mikiesboy, for posting this link! I also was searching for it.

Time Of Action - ????? I remember that @Lee Wilson story! Agreed

It was very sad to hear the about the death of Stars. The Major was wounded in action but still very lucky to be alive, because he turned around at the last second, before being shot. Things seemed to be somewhat quiet for Kurtis, but this news about the fire fight in Arizona, will cause him to worry. Yes this was a short, but drama packed chapter with regrettable results. It looks like more info about Bernie will be found out in our next update. Wow, what a story this has become!

What a beautiful daybreak ceremony held to release Jillian's pain from the news of Sam's being lost to the sea. His whole new extended plantation family joined him, and participated in this island's ritual Hawaiian traditions. This chapter was highly emotional, and gave Julian a feeling of permission. to move forward with the new realities, of Sam being gone. So touching, moving, and very well done @Albert1434.

A tension filled escape that increased my heart beat, and had my mind searching for the who, the why, and the what next answers. Yes, I enjoyed the thrill of this sci-fi chase into the Outer Limits, of imagination! Thanks, for taking us along on Lee and Toby's very desperate escape. Their future will now be one of their very own making!

Now @mayday, that is something that never crossed my mind, and would turn out to be totally evil!

Where there's a will, there's a way❣️ Right Lee

Wow, that is a lot of legal cases for Simon to sort out! I really don't trust Natasha to continue to play nice after her immediate legal problems are handled. The Harlan Black mystery will need further investigation by the KYS team. Ben and Justin need more information on the rules for the school prom. Yes, Simon still has many issues to keep him busy. Simon put his arms around both boys, "Remember, Rick's parents live in England, and they also want us over there for Christmas. We'll be there with you but not all the time. We'll also spend time with Rick's family." Right now it's time for champagne and steaks with Rick!

That seems to be a very small price to pay for something that you think may help you to achieve goals, and provides you with happiness! 💙
