That sounded like a memory to treasure. I've never been to America, but if I had I'd have liked to have visited Disney World. My sister and her husband took their children every year and then their grandchildren. Too much money for us. I'm enjoying reading your memories as you chat to your husband. I'm sure he's looking over your shoulder, Beth, just checking to see you don't leave anything out. :)) This book will be a treasured keepsake for your children and theirs. I look forward to the next part. :)) Sandra xxx

It thought I answered this earlier. Disney World is a lot of fun and there is also newer Disney Parks that are more geared to adults that are fantastic to. I hope you come to America at some point. I have visited Europe a couple of times. We have an amazing world and I'd love to see it all. Thanks so much for the review.

I am glad you told me about this chapter. Quite interesting in many different ways. Always very descriptive and I know your Hubby would enjoy reading all this as well. No spags! Shock Horror! Good work all through.

This was very interesting, Beth. Thanks for the tour of Disneyland. I visited Disneyland in California in 1974. My Cousin lived in Santa Anna and when we visited her we toured Disneyland. It was fun and quite amazing. Well done, Dear. Nancy:)

Don is so typical of making mistakes as a student. It made me recall one I made but I will leave that for now. I wish to compliment you for a great memory of your trips and the togetherness of your family and each of their desires.
Merry Christmas Beth and may our Lord bless you with a great year to come. Enjoyed it.

Thank you Ben, I would love the hear the story of mistake but I guess your are telling. I'm airing all of mine. I've don't a lot of dumb things. Tomorrow is the twins birthday which mean they will expect me to go out to eat with them tomorrow night. I'm be relieved when birthday and Chrismas is past. Especially this year. I hope we'll all be blessed with a better year next year. Merry Christmas to you but I hope we both get a few more stories on her before then.

I am working on posting another part of a chapter of this very long novel. Let us see if you can detect something in the making and what? Perhaps a day ot two. I see Tom has not done anything toward change in our positions of novel writers. I hope he live it . You will win the trophy in 5th place and nasty writer will miss it. Me, I could care less. I have a Fan Story trophy for Script writing . Its enough. Dust catcher. LOL.
Best to you Beth. Please don't misunderstand. Tom and his bnch are good people and I am appreciative for his concern to allow so much beautiful talent the opportunity of sharing their hearts.
Comment from Mary Kay Bonfante
What an eventful chapter! I'm sorry that I ran out of sixes, early on, this week. It sounds like a great trip to Disney World, for the most part. Carol didn't seem too into it, but she eventually came around. I felt bad for what happened to her at college, with her boyfriend Tommy's bad behavior. And I also feel bad for what happened to Connie in grade school, being treated like she had a demon! She may have been a handful, as you said, but you did the right thing, to send her to another school. It also sounds like Don had a rough time in his Auto Mechanic course.
So I found these errors for you:

Mary Kay, You have done it again. You are truly helpful. I had a phone call while I was attempted to reread this and it lasted an hour. This accidentally got put out before I was ready to let it go. I'm not surprised there were a lot of error. I glad you saw it first.

You're very welcome, Beth. Yes, I can imagine how easy it could be to accidentally hit that "Release" button before you're ready, especially if you're distracted by something. I'm glad I could help :-) and also take the trip to Disney with you and your family -- also a trip back to the 80s! (I wouldn't mind being 20-something again, lol). Hope you're enjoying the Christmas Season. Love, Mary Kay
Comment from royowen
Apparently, things don't always run smoothly for kids, and I think adolescence never runs completely smoothly, and it can be difficult being a parent, but things Pam out well in the end. Some people can be prone to addiction to caffeine more than others. Well done Beth, an excellent post, blessings Roy

Comment from lyenochka
Oh no! Poor Don always seems to get into scrapes. I guess he's very good looking and friendly and has an easy time getting girlfriends.
I'm sorry to hear about Carol's heartbreak. But it sounds like it was for the best since he didn't sound very sensitive to her needs.
Your husband was addicted to coffee. I am sure he'd love Starbucks today.
I'm impressed that you can remember so many details like what movie you watched. That was 38 years ago!

Thank you for the review and comments. Yes Don managed to get in plenty of scrapes and we can save our children from heartaches that are sure to come. I've cried with all my daughters and my son too. i've enjoyed a lot of laughs with them too. Evan eventually went to only one cup of coffee a day. He liked it plain so he wasn't a Starbucks fan. Connie and Carol are however. I have no idea why I remember watching that movie 38 years ago, but I do.

Comment from Raffaelina Lowcock
This was a very informative chapter, about your family.
Connie's wanting to go back to the other school is understandable and you made a wise choice. When Carol was upset re Tommy and you felt bad because she did, I understand completely. If my boys broke up with their girlfriend, I suffered along with them. The Disneyland thing you covered so well and so much.
The Space Mountain was very scary. As I recall there was a warning posted for those who had heart problems. All in all that was quite a day you put in.
Don seems to be floundering somewhat. You write of your adventures very well.

Thank you Ralf, We do suffer along with our children but we laugh along with them to and we'd always glad they're in our lives. Don did do some floundering. If he given us all the details, we might have advised him better. He had to learn from his mistakes.
Thank you for the wonderful stars.

Thank you Elizabeth, I do appreciate your reviews. This time Mary Kay caught all those things except the dashes around the Carousel of Progress. I think you are right. T need the dashes.
