I'm glad that Don's career options are becoming a little more hopeful at this point, Beth. It's also nice that you add some worldly news to your posts from time to time, to remind us what happened back then. Well done.

Hi Beth, yes, I almost missed this. Thank you so much for reminding me, so I can fill in the gaps. I do remember that air disaster. It was a bad one. As usual I enjoyed this. I like the way you put your story into perspective. Ulla:)))

Comment from Carol Hillebrenner
You did a good job of remembering '96 and ending on a cliffhanger. I can't remember what that next disaster was and look forward to reading your next installment. I would suggest when you talk about noise and your piano lessons, you identify your father as the one with the problem, then return to your husband as the one bothered by Christi's "noise".

Thank you Carol. I guess I didn't make it clear it was my Dad who couldn't handle noise. It he had four kid like I did, he might have had to learn to handle it. I was his only child. LOL. If you're curious about the next disaster, I just released it. I really appreciate your reviews.

It's amazing to me how you can remember things of so long ago in such detail. Heck, I'm can't remember what happened yesterday, most of the time. It's always a pleasure. Thank for sharing.

Well, I'll have more trouble remembering too as I get closer to yesterday. The short term memory always goes first. LOL Thanks for the review. Beth
Comment from Elizabeth Emerald
Wonderful chapter. Priceless bit about your dad cursing out Christi!
typos:
Don pressure washed it to kill the mildew before he starting=>STARTED painting.
We could hear him cursing in his room, and often I'd have [TO MAKE HER] end her practice sessions.

Thank you Elizabeth. I'm so glad you're still reading and commenting on my chapters. I always seen to need a little help with the typos.
Comment from lyenochka
Your father's intolerance reminds me of my dad. At least, your dad only grumbled in his room. My dad would actually forbid other people from doing things like opening the window when it's hot. Sigh.
I always like it when you put your stories in the current events of the day. And kudos to Don for painting the house and passing the board!!
it begin to look weathered, (began)

Thank you Helen. Dad was capable of forbidding people to do things he didn't like. He always demanded Mom get off the phone if she talked long. He only did it with me once and I told him I wasn't Mom and I'd talk as long as I wanted to, so he didn't try it with me again.
I loved him but he needed to know he couldn't boss people around in their own house.
Comment from Jannypan (Jan)
You did a great job, Beth, with this chapter. I liked the way you
included several current news items along with your family story.
I would be scared to fly so soon after that disaster, too. Christi
seemed to be oblivious to your routine and the issues with the
noise.
Thanks for sharing, Jan

Thank you Jan. I enjoyed your comments. I've not crazy about flying either. It wasn't so long until a Concorde crashed and they quite flying the SST planes. I read recently they are about to start using them again. They really get you to your destination quickly.
Comment from Spitfire
I especially liked the part of this which dealt with the good and bad news going on in the world. I feel for Don and his efforts to find the right job. I went through that with teaching. English positions were quickly filled!

Thank you. There was a period when I thought I would teach although after practice teaching I wasn't so sure I was cut out for it. Just as I got ready to try to get a job as an art teacher, most school cut art from the curriculum. Your picture looks a lot like a World History teacher I had once. She was a character, but an excellent teacher.
