Hi, all,

This is my second attempt at replying. I closed the wrong window. (You'd be so proud of me. I didn't even THINK a dirty word.)

Anyway, the last time I started with an apology. Sorry for the long delay, guys. I might not be able to hit the boards on a weekday for the next couple of weeks.

Woody, I'm so sorry to hear that your grandpa resembles my husband. :p My condolenses. But at least that makes him a young, whippersnapper.

Terry, SuperRoo, I promise this is the shortest chapter before the end of the story. Hopefully, you'll get your fix the next time.

Nan, JD, I hope you enjoy what Mason adds to the story. (Although DJ was pouting when she saw where things were going.)

Maria, sorry you dislike Mason so much. You just may be seeing a lot of her. wink

DS, I'm glad you enjoy it when I mix things up. You'll find that I'm pretty irreverant when it comes to canon.

Thanks all for your feedback.

Elisabeth
who promised hubby she'd start getting to bed on-time so as not to be so grumpy in the mornings. Maybe I'll get some time to post the next part in the morning. I'll try.
