I almost feel like I'm a part of the Katherine and Gabriel mixed family, enjoying the pancakes and later the chile dogs. That is because of your writing, Barbara.
Only one thing to point out and I'm sure it's already been pointed out to you:
so maybe the Indian Jones series or the Star Wars series. [Would she know it's Indiana Jones?]
Have a lovely vacation with your family!

I just went back and double check. I had changed it but sometimes I forget to save. LOL I did. Thank you for the reminder. Thank you for the well wishes and the kind review.
Comment from Wendy G
Firstly, I hope you have a wonderful holiday with your family (I too have a new baby grandson, as yet not seen.) I am enjoying your story - this chapter seemed a very domestic one, and it is good that the boys all relate so well to Gabriel.
Looking forward to the next chapter when you return.

Comment from Gert sherwood
What chapter, I like how your are telling us that Garbiel getting are doing things together and how nice that Garbiel is getting interest about Katerine four boys. From what I read see that Garbiel is getting to make love with Katerine. But that idea is frizzled out, because is taking of to see his wife and his children for awhile.
I will be waiting to see what will take place

Thank you for the kind review. Gabriel and Katherine won't be making love at all in this book.

That is what I thought.

How awesome that you finally get to visit the family. It must have been torture not seeing them. I loved the story of course, but I love that you are going to make real memories more. Enjoy!
Smiles and hugs, Carol

As sad as it will be missing you and your pen work, I understand the need to get caught up after all the separation, for so long. Great work and getting closer. Now for suggestions and 1spag. Leaving out joining words as usual suit yourself..."I ate a little. What (are)you making?"
I don't want your mom[,] waking up

Comment from royowen
I know what you mean as far as family is concerned. We haven't seen our Brisbane family for two years, and they're visiting this week, so we're in the same boat. Well done, beautifully written Barbara, an excellent episode, blessings Roy
Typo : I eat most (of) my dinners here. 2: We already (were) are. Present tense.

Thanks for sharing this chapter. Katherine must have been very tired to sleep that long. Hope you enjoy your time away, visiting your mother and your children.

Comment from Judy Lawless
When a chapter is this good, we don't notice the length, Barbara. It's a beautiful expression of family time and the love that is shared by all of them, even if not spoken much about.
Enjoy your time away with your family. My time with mine in August gave me a much needed boost.

Comment from Pam (respa)
-I think this is your best
chapter so far, barbara.
-It was touching with the
whole family atmosphere,
and showing how Katherine
and Gabe's relationship is
progressing, and how much
the boys care about him, too.
-The breakfast scene was excellent,
and made me feel I was there, too.
-I like the grocery story scene because
it added the inquisitive shoppers!
-The best part was the last as each
boy had something sincere and
caring to either show or tell Gabe,
and how they knew Gabe was
taking care of their mother; it
meant something to them.
-I am very happy for you to be
able to see your family; you must
be really looking forward to that.
-Have a wonderful time.

No worries about the length, I enjoy reading it so much, I would read the entire book if it was posted in its entirety. This is an enjoyable read. I am a total romantic and this enjoyable story pleases me completely.
