Oh wow! A fussy eater? He is a good guy, a great friend and he is super lucky he got you too. Sam is so able to figure out things in a great way– A less stressful way. It was meant to be! Your relationship is so romantic. Comes with the gender too, doesn’t it? I hope so. I want to protect my employees. He hasn’t decided. It’s that horrible moment when I don’t want to pressure him, but i want to help. He will get into anywhere he wants to go, I just hope it’s not too far. I believe he has probably sent some in, I did give him money for application submissions. I don’t want him to leave, because he is my baby boy and it’s been 17 wonderful years. Lots of ice cream will help and adopting a puppy–maybe a cat? I feel like i have to get a pet to fill my house. Ha. Yeah, i am expanding too. I bought this old florist and have been spending time overseeing the building. It’s going to be more of a take out coffee and tea store. I was looking into different blends of tea and coffee –Pastries too. It’s all a lot of work, but the dates have been nice. Nick is so eager to please? I know that sounds odd, but Hunter was more firm, supportive, gave what was needed? I don’t know, maybe i am too old to date? I like Nick, he is a sweetheart, i am just not overcome with desire? I went on a few dates since Hunter, but one reminded me of Jake and the other was so no. Yeah… Jay is a darling too. I am just happy Hunter has found the other side of his coin.

Aw, thanks, we like to think it’s still romantic, but when the kids all dog pile us on the bed, that is not clear hahahha

Unfortunately, yes. I think all you can do is talk to Samantha and make sure she knows what is unacceptable, when it is okay to refuse service, and how to put Ryder on speed dial.

The take-out extension sounds like the perfect add-on to your business! If you need help with the expansion, I’m available part time, if you want. Remember before the kids when I used to work at that museum as a curator? There were a lot of operations responsibilities for that job, though I know it’s not the same industry as yours.

What exactly is a lot of work with Nick? He is a sweetheart, but that doesn’t mean he’s the right fit for everyone. And you are NOT too old to date. It can be frustrating, I know, to be sorting out who is right or not, what you want. There’s no rush, love.

Now that’s a phenomena. What happen’s if Drew eats, does Troy grow? That is so true, it’s a game and he has the instructions. Yet, that is one of the best things about him. You certainly caught a winner. Yes…It would be, but they would be so happy. haha. It’s okay…I am sort of getting used to it, that sound dreadful, but some people do think i am waitress in my own cafe and try to get handy. I mainly just worry about people like Samantha who are working for me.

I really think the media have been getting the pumpkin spice stereotype wrong.

I miss Christian…That’s been difficult? I don’t know how to describe it other than, i know he is growing up, but we are also friends. Nick? It’s been a couple of months. I like him, he is a busy man, but he is safe? I can’t say I am overcome for him, but he is very nice, clean, likes my cooking… He is just very different to all the men i’ve dated, not a bad thing, just different.

Drew doesn’t eat enough! LOL. Hah, that’s sweet of you to say about Sam. Yes, I think he has figured out the game of life to a good degree, hasn’t he? I wouldn’t say I caught him, though - I got lucky that we were in the right place at the right time...twice, in spite of what they say about lightning.

It is too bad that you have had to get used to some harassment, that it comes with the territory. Samantha seems like a sensible girl though, I’m sure if she runs into anything she can’t handle, she would tell you about it.

Aw, I’m sorry you’re having some sadness about Christian coming of age. Has he decided where he’d like to go for school? Are applications in yet? Though we’re obviously not in your shoes, Sam does say every few months to me, “We only have 13 more years with them!” I have no idea what I will do with him when the time actually comes. :\

I hadn’t thought about how hard it might be, both you and Nick owning your own businesses. That’s a lot to work a new relationship around. How is he different? You don’t sound too thrilled over him, but maybe it’s still early? It sounds like you’re having a nice time while you figure it out. I’m glad there’s no drama and such, at least. Is he the first boyfriend you’ve had since Hunter? We were all rooting for you and that one, I have to say, though he seems so happy with Jay that we’ve all been proven wrong!

PUMPKINS

Haha,well, children are growing and are bottomless pits. Honestly, i have no idea where they put it… Sam see’s it almost as a game to eat pie then? Imagine shoving Ryder in a seat next to him, they’ll have one massive pie off. It was fun… If not overwhelming, there was a lot of important male faces there and I got recommended for the catering. I didn’t like some of the guys hitting on me, it was uncomfortable? I do think they want me for the next conference… How are you? –Also strange realization, but i think all cops drink are pumpkin spice lattes.

PRIVATE:MARYROSE

Well I swear Troy eats and Drew grows from it, it’s been like that since they were babies. And LIFE is a game to Sam :D A Ryder+Sam pie-eating contest would be disgusting, hahaha!

Ugh, sorry about the slimeballs. Glad it was fun otherwise and you’ll get another contract with them. Pumpkin spice policemen, hooray!

I’m good, just busy with the kids and trying to fit in some creative writing and exercise when I can.

How are things otherwise? Things okay with Nick, still? How long has it been now?

I have made three pumpkin pies… Any takers? Who want some pie? As much as me and the son can eat. I do believe i’ve over done it.

This is what happens when you get into a role catering for some big police conference.

As if you had to even bother to ask our house of hungry hyenas. Xin, Troy and Drew will easily eat half or a whole. But don't tell Sam, he will eat the entire one for himself!

How was the conference?

See, you guys are giving the kids bad examples of what uni is like. The kids all need to go to the UK for school, where we can hold our drink even after spinning, right @postmoderndarcy?

Marya Call 8/20

Mary: Bye, love. Everything is going to be okay, I promise.

Diya: [shakes head at phone after hanging up] I hope so....

Marya Call 8/20

Diya: [smiles slightly and throws a couple more things in her bag] he really doesn't have to but thanks. I'll be there in a little bit. Bye aunt Mary.

Mary: Bye, love. Everything is going to be okay, I promise.

Marya Call 8/20

Diya: [glances around the room and grabs a duffle bag] yeah. I'll bring some overnight stuff. Just in case.

Mary: [exhales quietly] Sounds good. Don't forget to close that ask. We'll see you soon, dear. Uncle Sam just left for the store to get your favorite snacks.

Marya Call 8/20

Diya: [quietly] ok. I'll do that. I'll be over in a couple of hours if that's ok?

Mary: [looks mildly relieved] Anytime is fine. And if you want to spend the night, I can talk to your dads if you want. They'll understand if you need some breathing room, that's not avoiding them.

Marya Call 8/20

Diya: [softly] I think I will come for a movie but I won't stay the night...I don't want them to think I'm avoiding this...[sigh] I know I should...but part of me feels like it's almost cowardly to do that? Just in case I find out other things I don't want to know

Mary: [brow furrows] I don't think it would be cowardly, it just means you are setting boundaries. To learn what you want when you want to learn it. [Continues more firmly] Whoever this person is, they are the cowardly one, throwing a bomb at your family under anonymity. I do think it's best, you sound like you need some space and time to get your head around what you've learned. You can ask your dads when you're ready if you want to know more. And if you find that you don't want to know more, that's not cowardly at all. I don't need to know all the details about Sam's past or my parents' past to feel like I know and love them.
