Jeff: I know some--maybe you as well--will take this as an insult, but this is my favorite of your stories....you'll have to consider the source.

It might be nice if the blanket were Army surplus (as the originasl tent was).

It is absolutely NOT an insult. If anybody else besides myself gets any pleasure or entertainment out of any of my little keyboard scratchings, well, that makes me glad--or maybe I should say "suffused with pleasure"  :) .

Thanks! I'm glad you liked it.

Home with a bug today so I read all your stories Jeff.  They are wonderful!  If you don't mind  I think I keep that FF.net link and check back from time to time. I'm not a big fan fiction devotee but there's something about yours, an honesty and simplicity that appeals to me.

Thank you, Dot! What a nice thing to say!  :)

I'm glad you liked my stories, and I hope you're feeling better really soon!

  I wanted to say thanks for this...  It is certainly a pleasant and - Hmmm - "hopeful" read.  Would that the door to such things would open more often.  We all have our blankets, remembrances... but they are not the reality of what we miss...  -smile

  Thanks again... 

You're quite welcome, TH! My pleasure!  :)
