Mary Anne (Two Men And A Boat)

Hi Caleb,
I just have got through reading this amazing story as well and let me tell you I enjoyed it with a passion. Well now who knew Gnomes would make good sailors, looks like Ethan and Adam's made fine sailors and loved their ride and piloting of Jeff's boat while technically floating on Jack's pond and I loved it.

(Yes, I do believe Henry was getting a little bored in the back garden and just itching for an adventure. Little did he know he would be on a boat though!)

I do believe both Aled and Edward enjoyed their liberation of the boat and gnomes but don't think Jeff, Jack, Charlie or Declan were very happy with the partners in crime.

(Yes, darn Edward and his grown up genes, drat, drat, drat! But he came up with a gret alternative plan!)

I thought for sure at first Jack and Ethan would be facing Jeff especially when Caroline called him but for once they were innocent except for maybe Ethan because he knew about the boat and sounds like Chris was in a little trouble with Jack for his part in getting Jack out on a buttie run for Aled and Edward, I loved his spanking one hard swat and it was over.

(I bet jack thought he was in trouble too. I'mvery glad that Caroline believes her eldest son.

I'm not sure Ethan and innocent should be used in the same sentence on things like this. Of course, he could just blame Eddie for it all couldn't he?

Jack is nothing if not a fair man in all things. Now what do you suppose he did to Ethan later on?)

I guess Aled and Edward were lucky that Jeff let Charlie and Declan deal with the mischief of Aled and Edward, however though not too sure how the talk Jeff will be having with Ethan will turn out.

I doubt that Jeff would of spanked Edward but you never know for sure with him. Jack talking to his dad helped though I'm sure. After all Charlie is just getting into the "Ahem" swingof things. Okay so a very bad pun but I couldn't help it.

I'm sure Ethan can take whatever Papa Smurf dishes out. He's a big boy now. Okay, so I'm not sure but Jack will pick up the pieces.)

I see Adam wasn't mad at all about his gnomes being taking for their voyage in Jeff's boat and now he has then back in the cafe and looking out the window, wonder what Caleb will think when he sees the little guys staring back at him from the window.

I'll bet he wonders where they were, what they had been up to and why is there a large pictureof gnomes in the cafe anyway? LOL)

I loved the picture of Papa Smurf at the end fits Jeff perfectly. Can't wait to read the Christmas story next to see what will be happening with that story.

And do you know there really aren't that many of the smurfs? I was dumbfounded and then quite pleased. I don't like the Smurfs all that much, shh don't tell anyone that!)
