Hullo Barbara ...
This is a really happy chapter in your book, coupled with the good news that your chemo-therapy is progressing well.
There are just two small changes to recommend ...
* You have - before she turned and walked toward the car George stood beside. I suggest - before she turned and walked towards George, who was standing beside the car.
* You have - I guess. I suggest - I guess so.
In English-English, we use the word 'towards' but it would appear that in America, you use 'toward.'
Now, I look forward to your next chapter and further good news about your treatment.
Love from ...... Nanette Mary.

Yes, in American we use toward. I will check those other areas. I appreciate your eagle eye.
Comment from Fireshadow
Barbara, excellent segment to this storyline. Very well penned with crisp dialogue and detailed descriptions. Only one suggestion :
You bring the best out in me [You bring out the best in me]
Otherwise, very well done, my friend.

Thank you for your kind review. I will make that change.
Comment from Nomar Chagrin
Good job as usual Barbara. I love the exuberance in this chapter. The cheerfulness of the character Cassie, really comes through. If only all kids could be that respectful and and positive. I could find nothing to suggest except one little glitch:
Joe waited beside car (I think you ommitted either 'the' or 'his' here)
Great chapter that moves the story along well, Barbara.

I made that correction. I thought I had already corrected it, but I guess not. I appreciate your kind review.
Comment from Nicnac
I'm glad things are beginning to settle down with Sara and Joe and they are now able to focus more on their relationship. I'm anxious to see if my suspicions were right about him getting ready to propose. Lol
Nice descriptions of the area they are going to picnic at. I would have chosen the sunny area with the ducks too. Haha
Only one small.suggestion:
Joe waited beside car - Joe waited beside (the) car
Thinking about you often and continuing to pray...

Comment from bookishfabler
Sara watched her daughter rush out the front door and greet Joe. Her eyes widened as Cassie hugged him. She watched them talk. ( try another word for watched here. maybe she observed?
and kissed her mom. "I love you, Mom. I'm glad to be home."
Probably could just say kissed her, since we are in Sara's POV.
Joe waited beside (the) car. (And you have beside in the previous sentence, maybe next to?)
refrain from refolding everything."
She folded her arms across her chest as she sat in the tan leather seat (I know I'm being picky today, but you just talked about re-folding a bunch and now she's folding her arms. Maybe placed her arms on her hips?)
Now the good part, I saved the best for last. I love it. I loved the characters and have enjoyed reading this novel. Great job. Glad you are feeling better.

I enjoyed reading this latest addition to your story. The writing has good consistency. I like your attention to detail, as you carefully construct the narrative, which flows smoothly and seamlessly. The imagery, the character-depictions and interactions, the thoughts, dialogue and emotions are all well-crafted, and woven nicely into the fabric of the story. Good work! Andy

Comment from BethShelby
This story definitely seems to be heading in the right direction. Joe sounds like a very caring guy and no wonder Sara is remembering the guy she fell in love with. I'm missed some of the chapter but I've read enough to know that is is a very story. I'm glad to hear the chemo is going good.

I enjoyed this chapter very very much; but even more I enjoyed your author notes, knowing that your chemo is going okay. You are a remarkable person, and have much to offer with your writing.

Comment from honeytree
Wonderful art work and the interaction from two people
within these words, are superb.
I found the words to be one of sharing a close friendship.
Maybe love could grow here.

Comment from K. L. Bauman
I enjoyed this chapter, as all the others. I'm hoping for a happy ending--I'm a sucker for those! And, you're right, the duck is adorable. I didn't notice any spags.

I am sucker for happy endings too, especially in romance novels. I think that's why we read them. I appreciate your kind review.
