G'day Barbara.
Yum, I love that picture.
"It's party day. I can't wait. Are the people here to do my nails?" Emily held up her hands for Shana to see." (She's funny and lively little one. She reminds me of Champers. Great start to this chapter.)
""Are you sure there's enough room? I don't like feeling like a sardine." Philip sat." (Me neither, but I have no choice here lol.)
I see she's still suffering from self-esteem issues. Hopefully, she'll learn that she's not a problem and it's all just from her past. I had to and it helps.
Another very well written chapter. I always enjoy your work, mate.
Cheers Fez

I have learned much from your style of writing. Hope you well. My blessings to you Barbara. Hope you and the family had a wonderful Thanksgiving..

Comment from Sharon Haiste
Another good chapter. This remains interesting.
I'm looking forward to the party.
And your picture of the breakfast pizza has made my tummy grumble.
You don't have a recipe, do you?

Comment from royowen
Anderson has made a decision to hold a dinner, although paradoxically he doesn't like them. Of course Emily wants to stay up late, but of course she won't be able to, because she's a kid, well done, the story is progressing nicely, well done. Barbara, blessings, Roy

Hello!!
It's been a while since you posted, or I have seen it. I did have a spell where I was erasing things ... I couldn't keep up.
That breakfast pizza looks so delicious! :D
Hey, take care. Until the next chapter.

It would take a master of disguises to invade a party of thirty. This is very well written with a smooth flow of words, making for a very interesting read. There is very good imagery.

Hello Barb
You know how to make the part with Emily and the excellent way of telling us about the upcoming dinner party and now the suspense of security guards will be roaming around during the party 'cause of Anderson he doesn't like the idea of strangers in the house.

Comment from Sasha
I agree, I don't like the idea of so many strangers in the house. I hope the security is good and that everything goes smoothly. It does sound like a lot of work and I understand why Drew doesn't like dinner parties. I don't think I'd like to have to plan one either. Nice job with this one. I look forward to the next installment.

Thank you for the kind review. I had problems just having my own children and their families come for Thanksgiving. I loved it the preparations were horrible.

My mother loved preparing for large family dinners. Not me...I enjoyed eating the food but not the preparations.
Comment from robyn corum
Barbara,
Another well-composed chapter, building on your story-line. This one is setting the stage for bigger things to come, I guess. *smile* Well done.
Just a few notes, if I may?
1.) "Are you sure there's enough room(?) I don't like
2.) It may be a style choice, B, but I feel, by the way the following sentences are worded, they are still including these lines as speech tags, of a sort.
--> "That's not fair(,)" Emily pouted.
--> "I'm sure he did(,)" Philip chuckled.
3.) "So this could easily get out of control."
--> just used 'easily' in the previous sentence.
4.) Emily stays pretty close to you so Thor will be there(,) too.
5.) After making a phone call, he added, "Jeff, has added a
--> no need for the comma after 'Jeff'
Thanks!

I made all the corrections except the pouted and chuckled. Neither is a speech tag so can't use commas. Thank you for the help. I appreciate it.

Hi, Barb
= Good chapter with Anderson emphasizing his dislike for strangers in his house--and rightfully so.
= Always enjoy the little one getting her two cents worth in there as well.
= Good end hook with Shana feeling as if she's the cause of so much trouble.
=> FYI: To avoid using =that= twice in the same short sentence, you may want to rephrase for a smoother read.
= That's fourteen plus the six of us that's twenty.
=SUGGEST=
- That's fourteen plus the six, makes twenty.
- There are fourteen, plus six, which makes twenty.
Cheers, J
