Hi Beth - I got extremely tired and worn out from reading all the shenanigans the kids were up to and your poor husband with his problems too. I wonder how you remained sweet lovable you... instead of seeking out a mental asylum. Life's grand if you don't weaken. Smiles - Carol

Thanks for the review and comments. I'm probably a little touched in the head. I thought I would like to live it all again, but remembering the way is was, I've changed my mind.

LOL
Comment from Ben Colder
It was the next evening, before he could get someone over with a tow truck, to pull his car off our neighbor's trees. Funny. I know this expense. LOL. Western Cedar another thing in common. I late stoned it and went to cypress.
Thanks Bet for the sharing and bringing personal memories.

Comment from Suzanna Ray
Dear Beth, This chapter is filled with crashes. Both the automotive kind, and the fall off the deck and almost break your leg kind. Despite the hassles with the insurance companies, I'm glad that you guys made it through The first quarter of that year.
And you did record some fun and interesting things that you got to do with your mom and dad.

Thank you Suzanna. I always appreciate your reviews. In spite of my accident-prone family, we do have fun at times and we love each other in spite of the pain we sometimes cause.

Comment from Judy Lawless
This was another adventurous start to your new year! But things looked better in the end. I find it amusing that "Kimberley was putting pressure on Don to propose." Now days she could do the proposing. lol
I found a few smags:
"Kimberly had to leave (it) with us,
Connie and Lenny headed to (the) beach with the metal detector
The past Christmas was the first years - remove the s from years
They had (to) work a while to get a down enough to proceed.
The doctor cleaned our(out) the torn
We hoped you('d) be walking

Comment from lyenochka
Oh my goodness! So many accidents and some of them seemed a bit funny but sad at the same time. I was thinking of Glen cutting off his cast repeatedly! Who does that?? Then I got to thinking poor Carol having to deal with a personality like that.
Suggestions:
house, Several trees stopped the decent. (period not comma after 'house' and descent not 'decent.')
back on the drive, (period not comma)
met most of Glens family. (Glen's)
she introviewed with, (interviewed)
They had work a while to get a down enough to proceed. [it? instead of 'a' ?? I assume the blood pressure.]
The doctor cleaned our the torn [out not 'our']

You're doing great considering the vision issues. I think my eyes have been getting worse, too. Must be Fanstory. 😊😊
Comment from royowen
They were certainly testing years, and difficult ones for young adults adjusting to changing circumstance. It's not till one grows older and realises that life is decidedly organic and ever changing, and we have to learn to negotiate those difficult times to mature. Beautifully written Beth, blessings Roy
Typo. Kimberly had to leave (it) with us.2 : The driver had made and (illegial) turn. Illegal? 3: The first she was (introview with) interviewed by? 4: The past Christmas was the first year(s,) ...5: They had to work awhile to get (a) down enough. It?

Well done
Comment from Jasmine Girl
This chapter is indeed a "Another Bang-Up Beginning" chapter with broken legs and car accidents. But you all survived and came out of these unfortunate events. What a resilient family.
There are two typos in the followoing sentence:
Other's mentioned: Allen is Chirist's latest boyfiend.
Well done.

Comment from Michael Ludwinder
It's well written and I think it's wonderful that you are sharing your memories. And I'm sorry for your loss. My only suggestion would be to go into more details. Use dialogue and show us vs telling us. But outside of that a wonderful thing you are doing.

Thank you so much for the review and comments. Since the whole thing is of me talking to my husband, I don't use a lot of dialogue, but I do try to work in some and more detail when I can without making it too long. This chapter is a bit longer than I like.
I do appreciate you stopping by. I hope to see you again.
