I haven't read the other chapters, yet, but I did enjoy reading this one. It moved along nicely, and there really wasn't a dull moment, I don't think. Nice job.

Happy Monday morning to you Tootie. Another smooth continuation to the story. I love the colorful characters and their dialogue. I have a poem titled what is love and I liked your take on what love is. My poem leaves the question open. Good job can't wait to continue the story.

What a terrible place to stop!!!!!! Now what has happened, I hope Grandpa hasn't been too over the top with the moonshine!
I'm so pleased that nasty nurse was fired, she deserved it!! Reading Bill and Cathy talking about the meaning of love, and also Grandpa's, I thought how right you all are. Those points most certainly are what love is. Well done, another excellent part, and I'm really looking forward to the next part! :)) Sandra xx

Well, I'm glad the flirty nurse was fired. Now Bill gets to go home, good news, but is grandpa able to drive? Is he drunk, having a stroke? On dear. An accident. Just what Bill needs after being in the hospital. Looking forward to the next chapter. Rox

This is an AWESOME chapter, Cathy and Bill. The storyline is developing quickly. I enjoyed reading this one. After the way chapter nine introduced the 'cat fight,' this was does a great job of concluding it. Yes, that nurse was unprofessional and deserved to be fired on the spot. I like Grandpa's reaction, and how he dealt with Cathy. I believe without saying or doing more, he acted appropriately. Also, I believe in his heart, he knew Cathy was right and really did support her.

Cathy's reaction once she left the scene were great at showing readers how much she really cares about Bill. It is normal for her to have those feelings of wondering if Bill had changed his mind about them. Her writing about the situation in the poem is a great way to deliver her thoughts to readers rather than just 'telling' readers in sentence form. Her poem is poignant, flows well, has great rhymes, and gives much insight to her inner thoughts.

I like the references to the 'things' from 1964 and later more specific info about them in the videos. They do a great job of keeping the time frame current in readers' minds.

The inclusion of Grandpa mentioning that he brought Bill some of his stories is a great tie-in from an earlier chapter when he(Grandpa) shared some of them with her on the trip to the hospital.

The story from Bill adds depth to his and Cathy's relationship after that incident in the hospital which should put Cathy's mind at ease as to how he feels, and has all along about her. I like the way you included the one with the nature theme--shows another aspect of Bill's personality. Readers get more insight, too, about Grandpa and his love for Grandma in a way that doesn't just say in a sentence "I love you." His words, through Bill's recollections, show how Bill is, and always will be, flamboyant and flirty--just like Grandpa.

The cliff hangar is intense. Thank you both for sharing this awesome chapter. I look forward to chapter 10.

This is so well written and full of life, history and love. It's very authentic and flowed nicely with sweet poetry throughout. I've only been writing for a little more than a year and learn so much for you both. Brown sugar pop tarts were my favorite and Bobby Vinton--a sugared voice. I can still hear this tune coming over my little Philco radio. Thanks again for the sweet treat!
Sending you my best today as well as six stars,
Sally xoxo
