Stone Soup by Jan Eliot for March 23, 2010

This woman is mixed up about a LOT of things…

If Val was a computer, I’d be blanking out her hard drive and starting all over again. Gal has issues.

So how does Val define their relationship if they’re not boyfriend/girlfriend? That would be interesting to hear.

Her fear.

I don’t think Val admits to fear. She seems to think everything is fine.

But I really don’t want to see Phil dating someone else! He’s been very patient so far. I guess it depends on how strongly he feels about her, and how long he’s willing to wait till she comes around.

He did bring the subject out into the open. Calmly, quietly, and directly. So this relationship isn’t being 100% directed by Val. I think Phil is a stronger person than we give him credit for.

Maybe I think so because I want him to be…

Note to Phil: Date other women, if you’re not already.

In one way I’m glad Val is taking it slow. Ms. Eliot is doing a great job with this story line. The girls have been gone a long time. Or is this a different day. How do they feel with Phil in their lives though mom has not made a commitment?

Side note glad there is spell check but makes me lazy for spelling and I need to remember to think on sp words.

Val you snooze, you lose!

Please help me. What happened to the father of Val’s girls? In real life, people that have gotten hurt one way or the other, are often shy about new relationships.

She’s a widow, POPPA

I still say that when she comes around, it will be too late and Phil will have moved on.

Wake up and smell the coffee you’ve got in your hand there Val.
