Comment from F. William Lester
Wow! I'm sorry, but I went back and looked in the mirror and I didn't see what you saw. :-) Sixty-nine chapters? This is one long fantasy novel. Thanks for making my day. I took the mirror down. Have a great day. F. William Lester (er, Frank).

Went I went back to read after I saw the number they gave me, I was shocked too. It was fun to write.
I'll see about including you in a story. Do you want to be bad or good? Karen

Knight in Shining Armor :-)

Mr. Lester, or a made up name?
-
I use F. William as a quasi-pseudonym for my book(s). The "F." is for Frank. I'm good. No made-up names. Have a Happy Thanksgiving. Frank

Frank is going to help me with my next Margaret story. :-)

I can hardly wait. 😎 Happy Thanksgiving.

Thanks for the read. Odd that Gretchen has said nothing. Be careful while traveling. Love you sweetie. Karen

This was fun and very far from your 'killer instinct'/ It was nice to go through this fantasy party and imagine these virtual friends in reality .I enjoyed reading it

I mentioned most of my friends, like you. If I included everyone, I would still be writing. It was fun. Thanks for the read.
Comment from Jim Wile
This was fun, Karen. Oh, what I wouldn't give to have my 45 year old body back again, even if only for one day. But I wouldn't spend it at a party. I'd play another round of golf, be able to hit the ball 280 yards, and shoot around par. What I wouldn't give for that!
This was very creative and imaginative and lots of fun.

I let you chunk fruit salad at Lancelot. That had to be fun. I never understood the thrill of golf. I have no patience for chess either. I love Chinese checkers though. Thanks for the read. Karen
-
I feel like pelting him sometimes with the thrashing he often gives me! Thanks for letting me do it in the story.
-
No problem. He rarely reviews me. So I let you chunk fruit at him. Things even out. :-)
Comment from T B Botts
Hello Karen,
it's a good thing this is just a fantasy, or I'd be in trouble big time. I'd never go to any kind of convention without Jan. Hmm... 45, I can't remember what I looked like then. I know I was much stronger, and thinner then. I had a lot more energy, but less finances. I'd still be commercial fishing, so I'm sure I'd feel like dancing. I don't know who Debi Darcy is, but I'll check her out. It would be nice to know who I'm dancing with. Well done gal.
Have a blessed evening.
Tom

Debi D'arcy write's those wonderful biography poems.
Thanks for the read. Karen
-
Hi Karen,
I looked her up and I'm embarrassed to say, I follow her, but I follow so many that I forgot what she looked like and who she was. The ol' brain takes a sabbatical now and then.
-
We all hit the pause button now and then. There are people I like, but don't read much because they do not review back. It's a shame. Karen
-
How stupid of me, I know Deb. The last name through me off for some reason.
-
I sent Jan some flowers :-)
-
Jan enjoyed the nice thought gal, thanks so much!
Comment from Sandra Stoner-Mitchell
What can I say? You and Ric??? Oh my word, I wanted him!!! Lol. This was a fun one, Karen, I think you mentioned about everyone. Those you didn't were probably hiding under the table with Gretchen before she left them to it. Well done, my friend, I really enjoyed this one. :)) Sandra xxx

You snooze you lose sweetie. I would still be writing if I included everyone. Ric is a handsome devil, and one of the few single guys on here that I know. I haven't been very murdery lately. I must try to be scandalous again. Karenia keeps asking for blood. Well, blood with humor. I wrote "A Room Of My Own" for Halloween, and it was plenty horrid, and it did not get read much.
It had no funny bits at all. So, back to knocking someone out with a one of a kind Elvis from Hawaii statue. :-)
Comment from Pam (respa)
Great artwork and story to go with it, Karen. You do a really good job with all of the detail and people who were there. Great description of Zelda. She sounds like a person who gets things done and also helps people. She has a great house and idea about how the guests could pay her back for her generosity. I also like all of your pairings and descriptions of relationships. I am honored to be included. I enjoyed your story.

I always loved that name, Zelda. Thanks for the read. And I thought you would be a good dancer. Karen
-
You are welcome, Karen. I did enjoy dancing when I was younger. I don't think I was really good, but back then you just did what moved you!
-
I didn't really start dancing till I was in my forties. My husband really loved to dance. We were real good, We went out every other week. Enthusiasm is more important than perfection. At least I think so. It is supposed to be fun. Karen
-
Thanks for sharing. I agree about enthusiasm being important, and that it is supposed to be fun.
-
It was fun to write. Have a good week. Much Love, Karen
Comment from Carol Hillebrenner
You had a great answer to the problem of many of us not being so young anymore. You also did a great job getting rid of Jane. That was certainly a convention not to be missed. You certainly picked a good one for yourself.

Ric said you danced great. We all had fun. I was just thinking to myself I wish I could dance like I did when I was 45. And, that became the story. I guess I can write fantasy. :-) Thanks for the read. Karen
Comment from Bill Schott
I told Dolly it was swing dancing. She insisted that we were stamping for land mines in a traditional folk-dance style. Good to hear RMW's ash cleared up.

He has no rash, but he is walking funny. :-) And, I thought you both looked great when you dipped her all the way to the ground. Fun times. Karen
Comment from Debbie D'Arcy
Well you are a bit late to the party but you made up for it with this imaginative, crazy dream of being 45 again and having our boobs actually sit up (I imagine that applies to everyone!) I would list all the misspellings of the names but you wouldn't want to know. This is another fun write from your ever creative pen. Well done, Karen! Debbie

I don't know where the idea came from. Perhaps from Rachel and Jane acting like spoiled children. Anyhoo, getting to see everyone at their best was so fun. And, I got to have sex. In my head anyway. :-) Karen
