Thank you, Leslie and Christie, for the warm welcomes! 

Leslie, youe idea for the re-reads sounds great to me -  in fact, any road that leads me to Laramie and E&E sounds great! 

There are a couple of favorite scenes that happen early on - I'm already getting excited thinking about them (and, no - I'm not talking about getting fancy scenes yet!  LOL!) and discussing them.  But now that I think about it, I have so many "favorite" scenes y'all will probably get sick of hearing me say that! 

Thanks again - Marie

I just read chapters 1 and 2, and in one fell swoop we have met Wayne, Bill, Pete, and Gene. Wayne with an earring and eyeline (details I had forgotten) and Gene with long blond hair. Poor Pete, badly beaten and Ennis taking care of him in the bathroom. And for this first introduction, Bill seems like an okay guy!

Louise I just want to add my congratulations for writing such an epic series!  Well done!  After dropping out after after Bks 1 and 3, I started dipping in near the end of Bk 6 to see what was going on with Dupree..Whoohoo how many books has it taken for him to come out and be a gay man. LOL  I loved that guy from the start :)  Way to go Jeremy.

Evenin peeps, evenin twinnie. :-* :-*
Right so we can make suggestions for plot ideas Louise?
Well we know we,ve got the reception coming up.  The boys having a honeymoon would be lovely. Some more about Simon and Lauren,(pookie) I love that lol. We all love reading about Wes and Edna. Cousin Julia,(the old cow)
Dont know if you,d planned on her making an appearance again? Even though "the dinner" was excruiating, it was kind of funny in a way. She was just so damn rude!! I could see it in my minds eye. Lance and Jeeves. Thats all I can think of for now. Is that enough to be going on with? Come on twinnie, fill my inbox with ideas please. I know you must have some lol. ;) ;) ;) ;D

Hi everybody , Hi  Lhuthiel,

 Hello Ronit

Are you actually saying you are from Hungary? Then I was your northern neighbor! Here around Toronto we are all  thoroughly mixed up and my best friend is Hungarian. I didn't realize, until I met her, how many words from your language I've known ( my grandparents spoke Hungarian but never taught me). I speak Slovak Czech and Russian.

we are nice mix here :)


Heya Synne

Yes, I'm an ex-pat. Haven't lived there, though, in quite a few years  :)

We do seem to be a nice mix here.... the Laramie Saga is making new fans all over the globe...
I hear Toronto is beautiful (although a bit chilly in the winter-time) :)
