Gretchen,
I love this humorous take on your Amish story. I absolutely love what you wrote about Amish porn; I can just picture it! lol.
Your story progresses nicely. I try to imagine Rebels shopping, allured by new and shiny things.
Great work, Gretchen.
Best wishes, Cindy

Face to the dashboard; I'm on board. This Lady and I use the term lightly; she doesn't know when to shut up, lol. I can't imagine being stuck in a car on a trip with her. I'd be jailed.
A great addition to this ongoing story.
God bless,
Steve

Thank you, Steve. Good thing I can't get a good snoot full Baye Lynn's magic potion. Might not end pretty. Lol. Gretchen
Comment from Marilyn Hamilton
Oh what did Rachelle do now?! LOL That would have been the excursion from hell for me. Malls do not exist for me today. Nor do teenagers. :-) Anxious to see what trouble she's gotten herself into this time.

Rachelle always lands on her feet. She'll be fine. Jane is another story. Gretchen
Comment from jmdg1954
I busted out a laugh when I read this part/
She is chewing gum, not quietly, nor politely, mind you. No, Jane is doing those little snaps and pops and her red stained lips are open and flapping.
It takes every ounce of strength not to slam on the brakes just to watch her head hit the dash board.
I'm like you, I can't stand when people crack the gum, it's so damn annoying!
I'm enjoying your adventures and look forward of what's in store.
Will Jane survive?
Cheers,
John

Jane probably will make it...but no guarantees. Lol. Thank you for this awesome review and for detailing elements you enjoyed. Gretchen
Comment from lyenochka
Lol. Okay, remind me not to ride with you. But I don't chew gum and read people my poetry unless asked. I never liked shopping either but I have to get back into gear as my granddaughters love to shop. Great choices for Rebekah! I've always liked Snoopy and Woodstock!

Thank you so much. I don't hate shopping. I just choose to avoid it whenever possible. Glad you enjoyed this. Gretchen
Comment from T B Botts
Hello Gretchen,
You and Rachelle really are the Dynamic Duo. I love the way this story is unfolding, I mean except for the vulgar, obnoxious wanna be poet that has invited herself along. I suppose we needed her to give the story a little extra jolt. I wrote a blog once about having electric hot plates installed in library seats where the computers are located. Then when someone stays too long, the seat gradually heats up until they can't stay seated anymore. It sounds like Rachelle's new car should be equipped with one. It would certainly come in handy. Well done gal.
Have a blessed evening.
Tom

Thank you, Tom. That electric hot seat idea should be patented. You could make millions. I appreciate the stars and the review. Gretchen
Comment from Karen Cherry Threadgill
Don't blame you a bit. But, tell me again who invited Jane anyhoo? I used to be so accomadating. Not anymore. Someone gets pushy, I push back. Some look at me and see a sweet little old lady; They are wrong. :-) Good writing. Karen

Comment from LJbutterfly
I love the way you express your open, honest thoughts and feelings, while inserting humor. Shopping with teenaged girls is usually difficult. They want everything to be just right and fit perfectly. I laughed when you mentioned hitting the brakes. In real life, I wouldn't be able to tolerate Jane. "This is going to be a long trip."

Comment from Jim Wile
I loved both the humor and the down-to-earth realism of this chapter, Gretchen. Your description of Amish porn was priceless! I loved your take on reading about sex and your criticism of unmetered poetry.
I also loved the following statement:
There is a part of me that hopes she likes it, but a stronger part that prays she can resist the lure of it.
A very realistic attitude.
And now Jane has you all puzzled and dreading the rest of the trip with her. How is this going to end? I'm looking forward to finding out.
