It seems I have a lot to catch up on so my reviews will be short. I don't do well in the cold either and prefer warmer weather. Aside from a few blips, sounds like you had a good time.

    Appreciate you're going back so far. Short is fine. You need to catch up for the critical moment coming up in chapter 73.
    hugs,

Sounds like Paradise, even though chilly at night. I'm m glad the vacation went well, but I can't believe you didn't jump on Jeff with a question like that! And I'm surprised Nichole didn't say anything to him. Good cheaper, Shari, and look forward to more.
Smiles,
Karyn :-)

    I always kick myself after for not coming back with a snappy answer. I'm always so stunned when people behave badly.

I cant believe he said such a dumb thing, what was he trying so hard to be funny at or for? also just because a couple doesnt share a bed doesnt mean there isnt any intimacy in the relationship.

    If I had said anything, my daughter would have answered-he's just being funny. Maybe he was, but his face and voice didn't tell me that.

I enjoyed reading this biographical account about relationship with daughters and son-in-law, and how to cope living with them, and still enjoy a good vacation. I also have some issues with my daughter-in-law, but I just don't mind he cold treatment. Thanks for sharing.

    Better cold than rude and obnoxious. :-) Thanks, nassus. Good to see a new name up there.

What an awful thing to say. I can't believe she stomached this comment about her father.

The video you included in your previous post painted a vivid picture for me ...

Shari, this memoir is so vivid and real.

Have a great weekend, dear.

Love,

Sonali

    Yeap, he looks like the kind of jerk who would do this. Something just as bad happens the third and last time we visit.

I think Frank knows about "the gay question now," and hopefully it's not a big deal to him. What is wrong with Jay.In Your writing I can feel how you struggle to present him in a decent way, but he lacks social skills. Maybe it's something he inherited. Gee whiz!

    I suspect his stepfather's at fault although his daughter turned out beautifully. Nope, Frank still doesn't know about the gay question. If I ever publish the book, I will delete Jeff for the most part. Wish I could do it in real life.

What nerve! My reaction is to the question that Jeff stated, which was down-right not called for. Your Nicole failed to defend her father, however, your Frank had he heard would have blasted him for sure. This man indeed has no kind of class what-so-ever. Now that a unique picture of Jeff has been painted for the reader, my only hope for him is change. Question is ...will it take place? I'm more than anxious to find out.

    I should have dared him to ask him face to face, but Frank would have seriously punched him. Two years later another similar incident of inappropriate behavior occurs and again, Nichole doesn't say anything.

Cheeky blighter! I would have found it hard not to retaliate, although that would probably cause more trouble than it was worth. At least you managed to survive the vacation without a major confrontation - that was a bonus!

I was wondering what was going on with Barbara and Bobby, so look forward to the next chapter.

    Dumb me! I'm slow to react which is probably good. Wish
    I hadn't been so shocked that I couldn't turn the question on him!

I visited Santa Barbara one simmer so I know what you are talking about with the cool night temps. Cant believe....wait, yes I can...that Jeff asked if Frank was gay. Such a dweeb.
You do a great job of leading into your jext post with a hook. :-)

    Dweeb--that's a polite word to describe him. More bad behavior coming in a future chapter two years later.
