Once again, I have got behind on my messages so am just seeing this today. I am glad things worked out for you to get the house you wanted. I just finished reading your book on Kindle and enjoyed it very much.

    Thank you Anne, I'm so glad you read my book. You'd probably read some of the stories before. Thank's for review this one. It will be part of a follow up book.

    You are welcome, I did recognize a few of the stories, but not the earliest ones.

If it's meant to be, it will be. Though I'm not sure I would have been happy the house included a dog. (I'm not really an animal person.)
It's amazing what kids think and how they make connections. I hope Don didn't suffer too long.
I'll be interested to see if your family ever returns to Mississippi.

    Thank you Faith. We had family in Mississippi so we went back on weekend but you'll have to stay tuned to see if we went back there to life.

Aw, Beth, you're back with.the story about your family. This is earlier on in the tale from when I remember. So you got the house you wanted and now you find out you're pregnant again. I'm looking forward to what's next. Ulla xxx

    I doing a bit of a repeat because I put a book about the Jackson years on Amazon now I'm getting into the New Orleans year but I couldn't use the ones I'd written when I was speaking to Evan because the other book wasn't written like that. I just have to write some more stories for the second edition of the book I want to put on Amazon. I hope that makes sense. I'll get back to the other one later. In it I'm visiting Italy in 1998. Thanks for reviewing.

How lucky you were to manage to buy the house you saw as your dream house. I can identify 100% with this, and 27 years later I am still happily there. Fortunately I didn't have a determined dog come with the house, just missing water, electricity, windows and part of the roof... but we wanted it despite all this. kay

I knew your search for a home would be an adventure. It's amazing how God works. What's for you is for you. You were able to have the house you wanted and at a reasonable price. Your son learned a valuable lesson about prayer. Pray only for what you really want. Your desire may come true. I can't imagine how Don must have felt when a classmate died. Each of your chapters end with the introduction of something new. Now, I look forward to hearing about the new baby.

I enjoyed your continuing story Beth and I am so glad you were able to buy the house you really wanted, it sounds delightful. I have never heard of someone selling their house with a dog and you were brave to take that on and I am glad that he eventually found a home elsewhere. Not sure rice is a good diet for a dog! Ha ha ha, an interesting story of your life so far Beth, love Dolly x

Babies do tend to change the dynamics of a family and arrive when least expected. LOl Thank you for sharing this with us and I enjoyed reading. I couldn't find any way to improve this post.

It's always nice to read about real life and things that are seemingly meant to happen, like getting the house that was already under contract. Thanks for sharing.

This work has reached the exceptional level

What an enjoyable read filled with life events and challenging moments but all embraced and sorted. A wonderful matter -of- fact tone and the reader can make up his/her own mind.
