You are the best, my dear friend. There's only two chapters left and I might hold them till Sunday so I can read and get more $$ to give out. I feel so good about this story and think it could be my best. I appreciate all your support and beautiful stars theoughout the entire time.
Smiles and hugs, Carol

Blow me over with a feather! So it wasn't Dylan...it was Jenna who is Eleanor's child, who she gave up for adoption! (BTW, this is precisely why YOU are the author and I am the reader...LOL!
THAT thought never occurred to me! Wish I could say I have one iota of sympathy for the Judge...but nope, I hope he gets all he has coming to him and more.
I knew Donatelli and Garth would end up in the same room and working side by side... (And who wouldn't want to work side by side with Garth?)
I think this should be a TWO MONTH challenge...
(I'm sure you'd be willing to extend the story, right? --for your fans?)
BIG SMILES>
Great writing!

the ending is kind of wrapped up, but I'd be happy to start angain....after I think of a crime or some other plot.... want to make any suggestions? I don't know about two months though.... Can you imagine how many chapters that would be. LOL Good thing I wouldn't be carrying a book around. LOL
Love ya, Carol

Hmmm. Let me think on a good crime for Eleanor to solve. As for book size, that's why God made a Kindle!
:)

I lied.... Went back to fill in and proof and the two chapters turned into three. LOL Now that's a Carol trait if I ever knew one, right? So I get to post another one later this week and then on the weekend before we say goodbye. Smiles!
-
Yay. An extra chapter!
No complaints from me!
:)
Comment from Ric Myworld
Well, there are just never enough sixes to go around, and like in most cases, I never seem to have one when I need it most. Great job! Thanks for sharing.

I am blessed that you think my stories deserve those precious sixes...virtual ones are definitely appreciated, especially when they come with smiles. Eleanor has wrapped up the crime circuit in Bayside, and now she has one last thing to take care of before she says goodbye. I hope everyone enjoys the ending.
Smiles, Carol
Comment from barbara.wilkey
This is wonderful and everything is wrapped up in a tidy little bow. I love it.
"Megan," Margaret whispered, her voice trembling. "I thought I'd lost you." (trembling,)
Her daughter cried, "I love you, Mom." (I understand what you mean here, but you can't actually cry and speak at the same time. Maybe choose another word than 'cry')

Thank you, Barbara and for the awesome stars. There are two chapters left to finish it out which I have in progress, but I might wait till the weenend to post them so everyone can get caught up on the story. It's been a blast to write. Thanks again!

Comment from davisr (Rhonda)
Awwww, what a beautiful reunion and a great moment of payment for sins. In the end, the Judge was rewarded for his heinous misdeeds. He met the punishment for his sins.
But, back to the beginning, it looks like we know why Jenna was so important to Eleanor. Her own child. I hope Jenna figures out the truth as she reads through the letters. It brought a tear to my eyes!!
Great job of holding out as surprise. I'm glad Eleanor felt peace for her family.
Hugs,
Rhonda
