About this ebook
A family pet is a big committment, whether the caregivers are young or old. An elderly couple has additional considerations in considering their own lifespans that might fall short of a pet's, or their ability to meet the physical needs as in providing the exercise the pet needs. These considerations were minor, though, when compared to the differing visions of what a family dog should look like...particularly size. Men tend to prefer larger dogs, while women more often like something that can curl up on their lap. Sam and Elsie are in for their first arguement, something almost every couple will encounter in their relationship development. How they overcome it is worth looking at, for the answer arose from strong love and mutual respect.

Thanks for stopping by. I welcome you to download VANESSA with my complements and see if you like the style. I'm told by readers the first two chapters are a slow acceleration (others say 'no problem') and then it takes off from there as a great page turner. Each of the four sequels had good reviews on first released a few years back, so I hope you'll try those as well. Time Snap and Hell Rise were more recent efforts I hope you'll like. The short stories have been a lot of fun to write, and are getting good response levels. Thank you all so very much! Long and merry life, best of health, David L Howells PS: I've done my best to filter out errors in the copy, but if you see one on any of the works, please notify me at twosword at earthlink dot net? I'd appreciate it (just include a three word sequence and which title, and I'll fix it with a search and correct). Happy reading!

Catching Up
Sam Carney and Elsie Partlow were officially engaged. Ties to their past marriages were eroded by so many life changes. The rite of passage of an engagement was a very big part of that process.
The huge step of stepping away from their two previous homes, next door to each other, and committing to selling them to the University of Madison was another giant step.
Taking a house suffering the pain of the murder of its former owners, the Thurgesons, and sharing the steps to transfer the reins of ownership to themselves was a process as well, though it had a legion of details to attend to. That process would likely never be complete. A relationship with a house was always a give and take as long as one lived there. Deciding on specifics to guild the nest required whole-hearted mutual participation if it was to work.
Like a first day at school for desk and cafeteria seating choices, some things were a clean slate that would become an accepted tradition. Here, the minor choices of Sam’s car taking up the far garage slot and Elsie’s bed side being closer to the bathroom would gel into the stability of the larger picture…the comfort of structure.
The newness of deciding which glasses or plates went into which cupboards would become programmed into their subconscious minds so that a half-asleep mission of getting a glass of water would be accomplished with almost no awareness of the action steps that were required.
There were compromises that any relationship would require initial conscious effort to smooth out. Elsie didn’t think they needed a video screen THAT big. Her
