My ex did Charlie's job, and was real good at it. He had a knack for reading which way to fell a tree too. I guess that's about all they had in common. Love the story!

Well that was a good one Pat. I guess it happens but we rarely notice the ordinary things in life. Nice tale.

Those were quite the days to experience. It is always interesting to read how people come across one another.

A fantastic story and so well done. I was so worried that our hero would fall from the tree and ruin his life but it is such a change from life today to read of a couple living all their lives in love.

Pat

Very well written! The description of Charlie's work as a topper is superb, and one gets a real sense of the couple's intense attraction for one another even from these short passages! Are we gonna get more?
