Hello Beth - Nice story as usual. I don't know if any one pointed these two tiny things out, but it's not much of anything. Enjoyed reading about Poor Connie and her love life - funny how kids see it so differently. Smiles!

Thank you for the review and great comment. Most teenagers don't know what they want. Thankfully those years don't last forever. Thanks for noticing the typos.

Comment from Ulla
Hi Beth, I love this story of your marriage, and bringing up your children. It's really so very interesting. I'm a bit worried about Evan, to tell the truth. He's got high blood pressure and he's feeling tired.
Now, normally in prose you spell out numbers. So $1000 would be a thousand dollars. It's more correct to write it like that.
she was doing many things she was never interested in before. = before.
I'm looking forward to what's next. Ulla:)))

Thank you so much for the review and comments. Evan eventually get the blood pressure under control. He lived to be eighty-eight. About the writing or using numerals, I was writing them out and I had one of the better writers on this site tell me I should be using numerals. I looked up the rules and most of them say numbers
under ten and some say a hundred should be spelled out or if they start a sentence but otherwise they should be written as numerals. One site said it was up to the writer's discretion.

I'm so glad about Evan, and that he had a long life. I'm learning all the time. I've been pulled up about it in the past, but now I see it's different. So please don't take notice of what I said. You know I'm enjoying your tale very much. Ulla:)))
Comment from Suzanna Ray
Dear Beth, I am sticking with you still through all these travails of your daughters love affairs and strange obsessions. I am also glad that you talked so much about you and Evan in this chapter; and how you found a mutual interest and enjoyment, in going to the musicals at Opryland.

Suzanna, I'm so glad you are continuing to stick with me. I'm sorry if my children's travails are getting too much to handle. It was a bit much for my husband as well. We had a lot of fun but the kids did keep us on our toes. Thank you so much for the review.

Comment from Sandra Stoner-Mitchell
I can remember when both my boys had motorbikes, I hated them having them. But, we lived right out in the country, so they needed transport when I was working. Being a widow made it hard. Christi still has lots to sort out, but she's getting there. What a lot is happening in this part! Well done, my friend. :)) Sandra xx

Thanks for the review and nice comments. Don had a dirt bike which he used at our place in the country. Highway I-75 is a horror for cars because it is so congested and accidents happen constantly. A motorcycle on that highway is something very few bikers take a chance on. Don didn't end up getting a bike at that time.

Comment from Elizabeth Emerald
Keep it coming. Brilliant work--Christi is ten handfuls. As regards the racy notes from Chris: be grateful this was before the days of dick pics.
go to [Summer=summer] camp.
When she got there she decided not to stay [COMMA] even though we had paid for the week.
Your vegetable garden was producing more food than we could handle [COMMA] so while I was at work, you got busy freezing some of it.
hyphenate accident-prone
Carol and Glen had bought a computer and since we [taliked=>TALKED] last, they'd bought a new printer.
Carol was excited about that, [becuase=>BECAUSE] it is more for her than Glen
your blood pressure, which was [causeing=>CAUSING] your heart to race. Even so, one day you took Connie fishing [COMMA] hoping it would cheer her up.

Comment from Judy Lawless
Another interesting chapter in your life, Beth. It seems like maybe Connie is on a better path, although at only sixteen so much can change. Well written.
A few little typos:
since we taliked last
Carol was excited about that, becuase
She seemed to have no shortabe

Comment from Mistydawn
Poor Connie and her broken heart. I do hope they can either work it out or she finds a way to move on. I don't blame you for having concerns about Don and a bike. Like my son, it seems accidents can find him just about anywhere. It sounds like Carol is venturing out, trying new things that's good. I hope Christi can get a handle on obsessing over her looks. Your chapter is well-written, very interesting from start to finish. I look forward to reading more.

Thank you so much for the review and nice comments. Being a mother always gives one something else to be concerned about.

Beth, your recall is amazing. I'm thinking, surely you kept a diary and recorded all of this. You have had an interesting life my friend. Well done. I saw no spags, but I do get caught up in the story. You do a good job. Nancy:)

Thank you so much Nancy. I confess that there was a few years a kept a diary and that time was included in what I'm writing about right now. I'd forgotten some of it until I read it again.
Comment from RetroStarfish
Wonderful chapter. You have a refreshing and honest take on your family, making it a joy to read, but worrisome at the same time. Your love and concern shines through.
Some minor typos:
few times. it was a very neat amusement park [ capital I in It]Connie asted as though [acted]
with an obcession over her looks [obsession]
