Another wonderful chapter - and I even enjoyed your notes. The story continues to keep me engrossed - such fun to see both aspects of the same situation, and each of you with your own characteristic writing style. Well done.

Thank you, Wendy. She plots out her story, posts it and then I read it and make up my own. So far, it's working. Lol. Thank you so much for this awesome review and the extra star. Gretchen

Oh yes, He does know what He's doing, and I don't think it will affect the popularity of Amazing Grace, I think it's a nice song, with 8686 meter, and waltz beat, but really it doesn't rank musically with other hymns I know, you're cheeky post is nicely written, well done, blessings Roy

Thank you, Roy. I'm not sure why I don't care for that song. Lol. I don't hate it, just not one of my favorite. The lyrics are amazing, it's just the music. Thank you for this. Gretchen
Comment from pome lover
Well, You are certainly straight forward and I love your sense of humor. Laughed out loud at the offer of corn cobs to wipe Rachelle's tears! too funny. Yall's whole situation is funny, really, with your two differing reactions to things. I can hear you two laughing over each other's version of the story. It must really be a blast to do this.
I hope Rachelle's cousin come to get you. Too bad yall don't have flashlights to read at night. I would go crazy, too.
Anyway, this is delightful. Yall make a great team! Enjoyable reading!

Comment from Pamusart
Hi, Gretchen
I just reviewed Rachelle's version of the same day. They're both very funny, but Rochelle's indicated that she was happy when she was directing the choir.
I find it hard to believe anybody doesn't like amazing Grace it's so pretty. But everyone is entitled to her opinion
Both of you write with such humor. She says you snort when you eat and that you eat everything they put in front of you. I know this is fictitious so that's not really true.
I would have trouble picking blueberries. I'm in a wheelchair. I guess they could wheel me out there. I wouldn't be able to take the heat just like you can't and I have no dexterity in my fingers so I probably would just squished the blueberries and rub them on my clothes. That is after I eat them
Your doing a lot better than I would in the same situation
Another humorous chapter
I enjoyed reading this chapter
Good job. Thank you for sharing.

Since I wasn't with Rachelle as she directed the kids and they listened to their singing, I could only assume she was happy. I just knew that God had presented that situation at just the right time, when she was ready to give up. Thank you for this great review. Gretchen
Comment from Samantha Wymer
Wow! You and Rachelle have done an excellent job. I rather enjoy reading this never knowing what's going to happy next. Your exactly right God knows best. Great job on this.

Comment from Rachelle Allen
I'd like to give you a thousand six stars for this. It's my favorite chapter so far, and I've loved many, as you know. It's the perfect amalgam of funny (you and those corn cobs!!! HAHAHAHAHA) and tender and super funny (really, Gretchen, sticking your tongue out at a little Amish girl?...) and finally luminous in its beauty.
I'd seen one of your FB friends the other day mention that you are colorblind. How do you shade your beautiful pictures so well and know what colors will look good together?
One more page in the Gretchen Is Remarkable book.

Tremendous job with this chapter. I could not love it more. xoxox
