For some reason I'm still not receiving your posts Beth, I love your biographical post, and I like to read because your struggles are similar, not the same but similar, you've managed to get out quite a few years, now in 1980, my elder child was born in 1979, beautifully written, blessings Roy

Family history can be such a powerful means of grounding oneself and I feel sure that your family will thank you for recording this part of it. So often, what may seem like irrelevant minutiae to us, helps others to gain a better perspective on who they are and where they come from.

Comment from thaities, Rebecca V.
This diary of sorts grows on your readers. Your family now feels like part of mine, and I anxiously wait to see what happens next. The kids sound like they are happily adjusted to their lives.

Thank you Rebecca. I'm pleased to have you as a part of my family. The kids are adjusted to being in school but they are still kids at heart and they still make a lot of mistakes.

Comment from Ulla
Hi Beth, yet another, lovely chapter to your book. I loved it. As you you obviously must have been. I'm now worried about what Don might possibly be up to. Can't wait to reading on. Ulla:)))

Comment from lyenochka
I would worry about leaving a boy and girl teen all by themselves. But it's great that they all liked school.
My favorite part was about how you and your husband were so often on the same wavelength! That is so cool!!
Wondering about:
at least ten of fifteen times. (ten or fifteen times)
She was a single mom and [had?] only one child.

Thank you for the review and comments. Yes, leaving two unsupervised teen-agers together wasn't a smart idea. I knew my so n, because, he felt strongly about staying morally pure. The girl, not so much, He confided to me later about how she tried to tempt him into something more. He was very open about his feeling on those subjects. I wouldn't have allowed my daughters to go to a guys house unsupervised. Thanks for the heads up in the typos.
Comment from Elizabeth Emerald
How I love this story--every chapter jam-packed with great stuff. That wavelength business is astounding. (I won't call it telepathy, because then you'd have known if the other had already bought one!) Glad to know Don stayed with Ce-Ce despite the dean's efforts. I vividly recall the broken-hand fiasco. (Did they get married?)
hyphenate four-person-deep
[she s/b Carol (for clarity)] chose the latter
As long as our extended families were alive and well, we celebrated the main day with them [COMMA] which unfortunately made work for our parents.
She was a single mom and [HAD] only one child.
to the house, because [OMIT: she said,] Ce-Ce would be

Thanks for the review and comments. I so glad you find this interesting. No Ce-Ce was just his first love. They parted after that semester. Thanks for the suggestions and typo help. I've fixed them.
Comment from Raffaelina Lowcock
This is a chapter filled with so much of what your family was experiencing every which way. Your missing your children, and how you were keeping up with their activities. The bit about you and your husband buying the same things, just emphasizes what soulmates you must have been. It was enjoyable reading.

Comment from Ben Colder
Wishful six is all I have but I am here to say I really enjoyed this write. As always you bring me into a vast number of memories I cherish.
Don reminded me of my son Terry. The girls are so much like my girls as well. I had them all in private Christian schools and understand the depth of your story.
Well done my friend. Beth.

Thank you for the review. I'm glad I'm able to trigger memories of your own. I appreciate the virual six. I finally lost my number five slot. I'm surprised it didn't happen sooner.

As you know Fan Story is Bias. And they will promote him to the number one spot or close to it. Wait and see. I spend no more money with this site and could care less what they do. I have been here along time and if was not for you and a few others I would not was another minute here.
