Hi. Sorry it took so long. I got sick, work was busy, and I got absorbed by another good book. Here are a few errors. You may have already corrected them.
Page 15: "I better get back to kitchen before Mom starts bitching" (missing "the").
Page 71: "at though she had been expecting him and said in disgust," (should be "as though").
Page 77: "one family homes are charmingly..." (I think one-family should be hyphenated).
Page 78: "it you it won't take any longer that necessary" (delete the first "it"; that should be edited to "than").
Page 85: "county only event." (I would hyphenate "county-only").
Page 157: "going a lot farther since then." (going should be edited to "gone").
Page 200: "to open and honest with Rick in a way..." (missing "be" as in "to be open and honest").
Page 221: "with to take a serious dive into the gay population" (is there a missing word or phrase here?).
Page 244: "young turn himself inside out" (missing "man"; should be "young man turn …").
Page 244: "think was a complete surprise" (should be "thing").
Page 257: "I don't think," in" (there's an extraneous close quote after the word think).
Page 264: "there plenty of surprises" (missing "are").
Page 292: "I hope you've got a vacation planned for when this over." (missing "is" between "this" and "over").
Page 307: "Muriel was recognized by one her father's patients" (missing "of" between "one" and "her").
Page 311: "eight grade buddies" (should be "eighth-grade").
Page 318: "middle week--the place would be empty." (Missing "of the"?)

That's it. If this isn't helpful, just ignore it.

Hi, Terry. I understand. I'm just recovering from a major arthritis flare up that left me unmotivated, to say the least. Who knew when I cursed Mrs. Penfield with this ailment I would end up with it? Sheesh! Thank you so much for the corrections. I am humbled to say these seem to have escaped both the editor and myself. I am also embarrassed. I appreciate your careful reading, and please know that your hard work will rescue future readers from these errors!
