MIGHTy fine Mz Sharron. Hard to imagine someone stealing the carrots right out of the ground. Hard times is hard alright. Indiana is fortunate to have wild things growing all by themselves in the grass and between the sidewalk slabs that are good to eat. Eat em raw or dry crumbled into the soup. People find each other and make a good life.
Thanks for bringing this one back, Sharron. Some me never learn how to do the right thing. And then there are the good ones who often go unnoticed. I'm glad this ended happily.
I like happily-ever-after, too! I try to write it every once in a while. It gives me hope. ha ha ha . I even like Alvie and Hansen. Losers still have a lot to teach us. Thank you for checking out the Abilene Trilogy again.
Yeeoow! Thanks so much. Any compliment from T Dalton Wolf is a compliment indeed! I am honored. It was a long story. Thanks for seeing it through to the end.
I concur that you have quite the gift at bringing people to life, Sharron! Joseph Wyman’s photographs are so very evocative, as are the characters that you’ve drawn out of them. You’ve quite the talent, greatest thanks for sharing it.

Thank you, Kate. I found YOU and we became sisters. Though we have never been closer than 2,200 miles, we are still family.
I liked it a lot, Sharron!
Thank you James Ron. I loved your jolly aliens, too.
Hi Sharron, That was excellent - it's interesting how the twists and turns of life flow.
A lesson in patience, I think. The willingness to wait for the good to arrive.
Glad to see a happy ending....
Yes, me too. Sometimes we just have to wait a while before it comes to us. Right?

I so look forward to your stories, Sharron. This one was a pleasure to read. You have a gift for bringing characters to life.

I set aside time for your stuff!😊
It's nice that you shared this with us, Sharron. Love this time period, the voices and color of their conversations. It's all good!
Thank you, Ron. I had fun building the cast of characters on this one. It was a long one - thanks for sticking with it, my friend.

Thank you for reading my work, Chloe. I love your work too and am glad I found you.
Sharron, I meant to reply when you posted this, but. . .
Anyway, it somehow reminded me of one of my favorite poems by Robert Frost, The Death of The Hired Man.
Home,’ he mocked gently.
‘Yes, what else but home?
It all depends on what you mean by home.
Of course he’s nothing to us, any more
Than was the hound that came a stranger to us
Out of the woods, worn out upon the trail.’
‘Home is the place where, when you have to go there,
They have to take you in.’
‘I should have called it
Something you somehow haven’t to deserve.’
Thank you. Beautiful!
