It would have worked great if they had exchanged phone numbers and discovered they were in the same area code.Sandy Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11920692341258066387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-406318704822590967.post-13148342513791101032015-05-05T10:57:12.628-07:002015-05-05T10:57:12.628-07:00Happy to see you're back, Kate and I hope your...Happy to see you're back, Kate and I hope your father is recovering well.<br /><br />I thought this story picked a cute idea to portray--the bucket list. I did think that the idea was mentioned a little too much in such a short story. We get it. However, the setting and characters were very sweet. It didn't really bother me that the detail of where the main characters live was left out. All sorts of details get left out in these stories--I just roll with it.

I kept thinking, what if he lives in California and she lives in Texas?

I guess I should have, but in this day and age of social media I figured they'd get together eventually which is what WW wants to sell in a romance.Patnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-406318704822590967.post-1897671216331018452015-05-04T03:58:14.989-07:002015-05-04T03:58:14.989-07:00So good to have you back, Kate.

Maybe that's because I'm in England, so there aren't that many great distances to consider. Even if one of them had been a Scot they could still have made it work. The only thing that grated for me was the constant repetition of the word 'list' in one form or another. That did bug me. But the story was fine.Chrisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-406318704822590967.post-21371221864251035982015-05-02T20:22:36.210-07:002015-05-02T20:22:36.210-07:00Good to have you back, Kate.

I kept looking for something to indicate they lived near each other but they didn't even discuss it. I felt like that piece of information needed to be there.Sandy Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11920692341258066387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-406318704822590967.post-4268112010969861512015-05-02T11:48:35.643-07:002015-05-02T11:48:35.643-07:00Welcome back, Kate.

Such a scary illness.<br /><br />This story reminded me of the bucket list story I submitted to WW a year or two ago. Mine did not make it with Johnene, but I am glad to see from this one that she was open to the idea.<br /><br />Yes, it is a problem in these little stories when two people meet far from home and actually may never see each other again. Something to keep in mind, as you have pointed out.Mary Jonoreply@blogger.com
