Excellent writing !!

Excellent story !!

Thank You !!

Thank you for this wonderful story. 5 *'s isn't enough.

I enjoyed reading your story. Easily worth 5 stars.

Lovely story - five stars.

5 stars and then some.......very nice story.

Please continue this storyline!

A very nice feel good story. Well written and thought out. Makes one wish for the simpler life they had back then. A sequel of them in Denver as highly successful Doctor and Nurse/housewife would be nice, perhaps even with a reconcilliation with his father.

Do a 2nd chapter

Great story, please carry on the saga!

Very nice. Great characterizations and character development in a condensed time-frame, great flow, a wonderful story. More!

I love a good romance story. Please keep it going.

Well written and seems true to the times. We could do with many more as good as this.

Sweet Story. Surprising for the year in which the story was set. A bit too long, but good to read. I would have thought that Mary would have at least told the farmer in Grand Junction [directly or by telegram] that she would not be getting off the train.

If you're going to use Harry Chapin's songs, then you ought to consider "Mail Order Mary"

That's "Mail Order Annie," and I specifically didn't use that song because, unlike Annie in the song, Mary didn't get off the train. ;)

Good point about the telegram, though. I hadn't thought of that.

This was such a wonderful treat. Thank you.

First off, congratulations on your place in the holidays contest.

Second, this story was so well-written that it demands a sequel. Please consider telling us the next chapter in Bill and Mary's lives.

Thanks for posting it.

An excellent story, well-told.

HP

This deserved first

Well written and enjoyable, got to be another chapter there, of there continued

lives

This is what I call a fill good story. Thanks for sharing.

I'm a 64 year old man who's been married twice, and yet you were able to get me a little teary eyed there at the end. Great romance, thanks for posting this one.

ENJOYED THE STORY VERY MUCH THE WAY IT HAS BEEN NARRATED PASSIONATELY. I WISH THE AUTHOR FURTHER SUCCESS IN 2014 ENDEAVORS WHICH MAY PERHAPS CULMINATE IN WINNING THE NEXT CONTEST..

This story truly touched my heart...please keep on writing...

more please!

Wow! I thoroughly enjoyed reading this story! Kept my interest throughput - despite thinking it was a dull story from another era. Thanks!!!!

you stumbled upon this tale by chance

and have never visited the Authors Profile

and you enjoyed this tale as much as i did

...........

you have the time , read the sequel

"when we get to San Francisco"

Great story.

It reminds me of myself when I left my parents' house to live my own life, only 70 years apart with this story ...

5 * for you.

I apologize for my English (yet) is not my native language.

...I enjoy reading it..romantic!

Thank you for this wonderful story.

Just a great read!! Once again THANK FOR SHARING!!!!!

I especially loved your chosen historical setting.

I read it every year Great piece of storytelling for this time of the year. And on to (When We Get To San Francisco) a great follow-up. Thanks again for sharing.

Wonderful story, wish things were that simple today

AND snobs will always be snobs. It's a good thing we keep

them penned up in gated communities so not to irritate the rest of us.

To my way of thinking there has only one is better that once

walked among us, first as a carpenter then leading those who

will follow to a happier and better place

Another reading and just so pleased, again. This does make an excellent Christmas Story. Please continue to write.

*****I LOVE THIS STORY!!!! Thanks again for sharing.

Fantastic. Equal to the best of O Henry. 5 stars.

a bit corny...

Slow last couple days on Literotica in my usual genres, so I started trolling through stories of authors that piqued my interest. Awesome story and even more excited there's a sequel - 5.0*
