very cool story 5 stars

Well done!

As they say, "Keep on truckin" !

Wish it had been longer. What happened to his mom? That was the only plot line that made no sense. 4.5*

You have captured the lifestyle of rural northern New Englanders in this and other stories.. I’ve seen many of the scenes you have depicted from the 50’s 60/s and 70’s. In my lifetime. Great memories!!!

A well written story that is light and airy by design. More depth could/would have caused it to lose its charm. Glad I took the opportunity to read it.

Great story well written. I am curious though there was no closure concerning Craig’s Mom just wondering

Excellent story. Most of us have a vehicle that is prominent in our early love lives, so this certainly brought several smiles to my face. The multi-generational aspect was well done and enjoyable.

A very good tale, spent many times at my grandparents dairy/crop farm. This brought back memories - thank you.

"Bob!"

"Don't 'Bob' me."

Beautiful story. 5 Points

Excellent. If I say it was too short please understand it is not a complaint so much as me being greedy and wanting more. More of Betty, more of her Bob. More of all of them.

No, I don't care about the mother.

This is a great story and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

THANKS

Very enjoyable.

Thanks to all of you for the positive comments. They make the time and energy to write worthwhile. To anonymous and Demosthenes384bc, I started to write about Craig's mom, couldn't make it fit in with the rest of the story, and ultimately dropped it as not adding to the plot. I attempted closure with Betty saying: "Adults sometimes do things that even other adults can't understand. "

I am a greedy man.....Such a fantastic story it could (read that as a selfish "should") have gone on for pages. Very well done!

This is a sweet story, well told. The characters are interesting, likable, believable, and well-developed. The plot is simple and predictable, but compelling and upbeat. The setting is well-described and familiar to this old Yankee. The editing seems flawless to me. I enjoyed it very much.

Thank you for writing and thank you for sharing your work.

A very enjoyable read on this Sunday afternoon. Your characters are charming, believable, and fun getting to know. Excellent job!
