Tales of Greenlea County - Discussion of All Stories (UPDATE)
mariez:
Speaking of enjoying your stories, Louise - if memory serves, one of my favorite chapters ever should be coming up soon. I think it was titled "Memento Mori" "In the Open" and it remains one of the most beautiful, poignant and profound things I've had the privilege to read.
Marie
Edited to correct chapter title. It's Chapter 41 of 'Long Way Home" that I was thinking of. "Memento Mori" is Chapter 49 - a great chapter, too, in a different way - and I love the title, which is why it stuck in my mind!
louisev:
yup, coming up in a handful of chapters, you are right, Marie!

Hooray, I was just posting to ask how soon, but ya beat me to it.
I need to find another newbie - I can't be the only one! It's like arriving late to the party... or, considering the legitimatizing overhaul, arriving late to the party that got broken up by the cops and moved to a house down the street.
I am so excited to find out what happens next - I've sorta peeked at future stories on louisev, but there were too many new people, so I held off diving in. Managed to glean that there are rings in the offing and Dupree is maybe gay after all, though. Heh, knew it - and then 38 kinda confirmed it.
I feel a smidgen of sympathy for Laura - not much, but it's there. It tends to flare up when she's off being so profoundly unhappy with her life, but the sympathy dies down whenever she tries to drag Colson and the twins down with her.
louisev:
No you arent the only one, in fact another new reader has registered here at Bettermost, but sometimes it takes a little coaxing to get them to join in. Don't worry, the regulars here just LOVE going back over things!!!
and there is a whole lot of plot and a whole lot of story that happens between 'Long Way Home' and the current stories, believe me!

LOL! You can say that again, Louise!
Jess, don't worry about finding another newbie - although it would be great to see more new faces here! - I'm still excited about reading the revamped chapters as they're posted. And I'm excited for you because I totally understand the anticipation of reading this for the first time.
I have some sympathy for Laura, too. No doubt she was dealt a bad hand in life. I don't like to see her bitterness rise to the surface and cause trouble between Colson and their daughters, but I have to admit it would be pretty hard to witness the man you still love being so obviously and madly in love with someone else - man or woman, especially when your own life is less than satisfying.
As for what you've gleaned, well - I'll just repeat what Louise said - a whole lot happens! LOL!
