    Well, that knocks off a small ruby from your crown. I thought you contained all the knowledge of the known universe here.- in "fandomn".

Wahhhhhhhhhhh! I love this so much, I am crying in anticipation of how much it's going to warm me up and then cause me to melt into puddles of never-ending tears. And I'm a feisty redhead, Gretchen Hargis, so I rather resent you turning my insides to mush like this!!!

    Suck it up, Allen. If you want to cry, read The 'Shine Baby. That's a sad one. I even cried while writing it. Thanks for this. Lol. Gretchen

    Oy. I'll check it out. But I may have to wait to read it. Those kinds of reads stick with me, and I have a full day of lessons to teach.

The right phrases sure can make us feel good, old and young. Then we just have to figure out if it's silver tonged with the best of intentions. LOL. Thanks for sharing.

    I think Jameson is safe. He's got a good heart. Thanks for this. Gretchen

Well, that is just delightful and I must progress to your next chapter - speaking of which - in your other books, are all your chapters this short? I am just curious as to your reasoning. I think they could be longer, but you're the one who has the good rankings. Anyway, I love them, as you know. Just wondered.
Am off to your next chapter!

    I like short chapters. Don't have the attention span to read long chapters. Just a quirk, I guess. Glad you are enjoying this story. Gretchen

Excellent.

The lunch between those two was a good point to bring out iris's health issues.

There were a few lines that made me laugh...

Thanks for posting.

I'm so glad they ran into each other again. Will he bring Hestor with him? If they continue to meet, and I hope they do, it gives them both a new purpose in life. Maybe next time, Gertrude will see them make a date.

Love this story, with little bits being revealed gradually about each, and I do like their positive connection. I find your clear and direct style of writing is just right to keep it interesting with touches of humour.

Oh, I love this! I was going to comment on how nicely you wove Jameson in Gertrude and Iris's conversation; then, doggone if you didn't plan their meeting and schedule a date. Great job!

Makes a Great Dane look relatively small." [Is that true? I thought a Great Dane was the larger dog. But I'm no expert.]

I'm glad this was early enough that I have a six to give this!

    That was my evil plan all along, Jay. Post when you had a cache of sixes. Bwahaha. Seriously, thank you so much. I'm glad you enjoyed this. An Irish wolfhound is just slightly larger than a great Dane. But they have this wiry hair that makes them seem a lot bigger. Thanks for the six. Gretchen

Gertrude has a good point, but Iris knows a good man when she finds him. Too bad he couldn't be a half century older. It is good for both of them to have found someone to talk to, especially if they tell the truth. This is well written and in the last sentences the differences in their language is noticable. Good job.

    I think Iris wasn't bluffing when she said she can take care of her self. Thank you for this spectacular review. Gretchen

    There are some very nice young people out there. Sad as a group they all get lumped together. Kind of like Boomers are. Lol. Thank you or this kind review. Gretchen
