This is, without doubt, the best love story in Literotica. I read it annually.
I grew up in northern Indiana very near to the location of this most beautiful love story.
My family were farmers, mostly corn, wheat and pigs but I remember the tomatoes, peaches and ,yes, grapes.
I still remember the black rich dirt sticking to my boots as a child.
Now I'm a professional (physician) but believe I made a mistake to not work the land my dad promised me if I followed him.
That was such a touching story. I too shed a tear as I also just found out my ex-wife passed away.....it was a double tear jerker for me.
I felt like I was a part of the story as it was so well done.
Great job!!!
Oh, wow! I've been reading Literotica for the past 14 years. Only now after reading "Laura's Vineyard" for the first time did I register for a Lit account. Like so many others that have read this beautiful story, ronde, I became choked up and tears were brought to my eyes. I loved the way this story touched not only my desire but even more my heart. And yes, I'm a mid-40s aged man. ronde, thank you! Truly...thank you. I look forward to exploring more of your work. Thank you again and I wish you all the best.
I started trying to read something that stimulate me in an erotic manner but ended up with tears in my eyes Best story I have read
I read this a while ago - just as good today. An example of good writing indeed
This is what erotic writing is all about. I'm very impressed. You are my new favorite author here on Literotica.
You have not posted a story in over a dozen years but you are still one of the best writers here.
Thank you for sharing your gift.
What a great story. I was blinking back tears on the 3rd page. Truly beautiful writing. My contributions on here have received some good comments, and others that were angry and hurtful. So I know what it means to receive positive comments.
Truly an EROTIC, STORY.
Everything I hope for when meandering through this site.
Thank you.
I have enjoyed reading this sweet story again — Thank You for sharing!!!
One of the best on Literotica. Brought tears (of happiness) to my 86 year old eyes.
Absolutely the best short story I have read in a long time. Kudos and thanks to the author.
A great story beautifully written and believable, this was so believable.
This wonderful story is my benchmark, not just in erotica [which would have debased
it] but in very fine, general literature
This stands out among the others. Defo one of the best that I have read.
Over several years I hav eread this story multiple times and it brings tears to my eyes every time. thank you for a great story!
Barley made it to page 2. Looked for the sex part, disappointing, very.
You write very well. Ignore the comments that disparage the dream; that BOY isn't old enough to understand. Loved it. Glenn
I have read this story twice, and enjoyed.it.even more the second time!
Brilliant story, Absolutely loved it. A poignant tale of love and happiness together with a degree of sadness. Thank you so much for sharing it.
I have read this story many times and I always end with a damp eye ! Beautifully written and a true love story that can really be enjoyed . Thank you
I just want to fap not cry.
5/5 on this story though, such bittersweet ending.
Every time I come back and reread this, I rate it 5 stars and cry before and after rating it. Love like this is rare, in stories and life. Thanks for making us believe it nad live with it, even for a short while.
Such a well wrought story. It brought tears to the eyes of this old geezer.
I'm a 72 yr old Vietnam Veteran and your story made me shed a few tears. Wonderful read and I won't soon forget " Laura's Vineyard " Don D.
Probably the best one I have read in this format. Beautiful flowing sentences, no grammatical errors and no obscene sexual phrasing either. You are a gifted writer.
I’ve read this story a dozen times over the years. Still my favorite. Incredibly well done.
Oh my word, that was a wonderful tale, somehow you completely captured their sense of loss and desolation but mixed with hope, wistfulness and love, I’m in tears after reading that and tbh I’m not sure why. Damn fine story though. 5⭐️
What a touching, heartfelt story—full of emotion, regret, and love. One of the most deeply satisfying I’ve read on Literotica.
The only little point to raise—The University of Michigan doesn’t have a program in agriculture. That’s at Michigan State. Both have engineering programs, though (says a grad of both schools).
Laura's Vineyard is one of my favorite stories. I come back to it every once in a while and am always touched by reading it.
Thank you for such a wonderful story.
Great, I thought it well re-searched peroid story. No mandatory oral, anal, glazing, choking or rough. I think with being younger the phrasing of her reaching down to stimulate the clitoris was out of place, with her natural grooming how could he see the nub? Her doing the action fits, just that wording seem more 2023 stroke story. Parts of the ending seemed long, liked Wendy's playfulness. I really did enjoyed the story.
I’d give you a 10 on this one if I could! Probably the best story I’ve read on this site. Well done!
This is hands down one of the best, if not THE BEST stories I have read on Literotica or ANY OTHER erotica story website! Definitely the BEST ROMANCE STORY HERE! And I usually don't enjoy the Romance category! Thank you Ronde !
This is really lovely and grabs my heart as well as my balls, in the best way. I love the characters, and the depth. I was a bit put out by the suddenness of Laura's transformation from grumpy and frumpy to gorgeous, but that was the only moment that seemed to miss a best. Everything else felt real and natural and lovely, thank you.
As far as I can recall, this is the first story I ever read on this site, back in 2002 or thereabouts. I haven't read it again until now, and it is still a beautiful tale.
I am glad to see that you are back, but, as a long-time reader on this site, may I be so bold as to offer a small piece of advice?
Slow down! You are submiting stories at express speed, but the proofreading is suffering, as shown by the increasing number of typos.
Looking forward to reading even more of your work, including some of your previous submissions in other categories, that I have not read (because I don't usually read in those categories!)
Best wishes,
Nick
I remember reading this story years ago and I am just as enchanted by it now as I was then.
A wonderful story! Wish I could give this more than five stars. Thanks for sharing.
This story describes a touch of personal magic that happens between two people who don't let convention and others dictate their behavior towards each other. It tells us to treat others with an open mind rather than prejudge them. It left me with a very warm feeling. 5*, of course.
I stumbled across this story some years ago but after some searching I discovered it still has the same magic that it did when I first found it. Bravo to you on an exquisite tale of enduring love and un conditional understanding.
Reading through this one again. Read it so many times I’ve lost count. Just awesome. Thank you so much for sharing your work and characters with us. An excellent read!

Very nice. Another one I liked.
I’ve just discovered this author
and I’m currently Ronde binging.
A very romantic loving caring story, as I read it tears came to my eyes. Keep writing!
I wasn't able to find a score or comment but I know I read it. I had added it to my favorites. This might be your best story but you've written so many wonderful ones! Thanks.

Real people with real love will always touch the sole. Thanks for showing what it manifests.
