HaHa! Nice one, Bob! kept waiting for the poison pill, but you got me! April Fools!
Another good tale, though a bit different. It is an actual loving wives tale, no cheating. Kind of miss Paulene! Thank you Bob.

Do they have a liability claim against the trucking company?

"A month later I was promoted, but again all I did was put in my eight and go home and a year later I was promoted again. Makes you wonder some." - Maybe the bosses think that if you're working so hard that maybe you're compensating.

Sweet story, but should have been in Romance.
A sweet love story from JPB? 1. What is the world coming to! 2. Fantastic. I liked this one a lot, thanks for a sweet read.
Not much of a story, where's the drama, conflict, revenge or reconciliation, nothing
The perfect life I wish I have.

I felt it was a bit of a mundane read.
But I liked it.
I was apprehensive that JPB would have another wimpy husband.
It turned out I was wrong and I'm glad.
Thanks JPB.
Ok I’ve finished reading but I’m still waiting for the other shoe to drop. I mean it’s JPB story so some type of craziness is expected right????
could do with a bit of an edge, bit more sex would move it along nicely. I was expecting a bit of swapping of partners.
Nice to read a happy story every so often that is void of cheating and just two people that love each other. Thanks!
When you spell the name of the main female character wrong in the title, you have to wonder about how little seriousness was put into this effort.
that whole length vs. girth thing was just ridiculous. First of all, it's always about the girth, as long is it's not a micropenis problem. Second, that's not a 'first coffee' conversation, at least not with a girl you might actually want to marry. Basically, nothing about this story rings true, and it's like you duct-taped the whole 'money honey' thing onto the end of some story just to make it seem appropriate for the contest.
Thank you. You and the other authors in this invitational are doing a wonderful job of raising the average level of writing on this site.
It doesnt sound like the story if complete. Is there more to share?
Man, talk about having money thrown on you not once but multiple times and still be a loving, happy couple through it all. Maybe there is some hope for the world. Good story JPB.
That’s it? Not one of your better offerings. 1* for setting up what could have been a good storyline and then driving high speed into a boulder.
We have a saying that means: The devil always shits on the biggest heap! It's good when that happens to you!
The challenge is "How does money, or a lack of money, change the lives of the characters you write".
There was almost no change from money in this story.
Didn't like it much.
I'm waiting for the comments that somehow express dissatifaction with the ending. I can't figure out how they can complain, but you know that they're coming.
It seems like this "money honey" thing is nothing but a lengthy collection of worthless cheating and cuck stories.
Ooh...that rare beast, a truly loving wife. Thanks Bob I'm delighted there's still some on there.
Story had me on edge the entire time, just waiting for something terrible to happen. But it didn't. Nice on though.
5 Stars all the way.
So she was a loving wife in the faithful for ever type of loving wife? That worked really well. 5* storytelling.
Great story. I kept waiting for the old JPB shoe to fall, but it never did and that’s fine by me.
I’m reading the story waiting for the shoe to drop on their marriage, but it never did. Quite refreshing read! 5*
Not your best work by any means. Seems you were being courteous in responding to a request but it was obvious your heart wasn’t in it. Too bad. Coulda. Woulda.

I thought I may hate myself for reading this, but the story was good. A little dry.
It was a nice little story, but there was nothing in it that made it a loving wives story. No sharing, no betrayal, no nothing. They had a nice little life. It probably fits non-erotic better. 4 stars
An interesting story. Nice to hear about a couple in love and loyal to each other…..so far.
What happened to the end of the story? You got to where the "but" would go,and then no conclusion
Except for selling a vintage '651/2 Mustang, it was a great story of family life dealing with life as it came. Add two adult characters that are apparently sane (Mustang sale excepted), it was a refreshingly uplifting story.
Thanks.
*****JPB still writing the way he fills them!!!! Different but a very entertaining read. Thanks for sharing.
The story has no real intrigue and the end kind of boring, almost rated PG.. Are you truly JPB or are you using ghost writers too? Thanks for the story.
Just Plain Bob, don’t pay any attention to any comment about this being poor writing. Your story fits the theme exactly. Every story does not have to have Wild cheating or just any sex. You have described a typical married couple and have done an job at it. 5*****
Not your usual, but rather a heart warmer. Not many truly Loving Wives tales being posted here. Fully expected her to go all Rich Bitch and take on a young lover because she “deserved” it. But no, still wanting to fuck the old man after 20 years? Maybe there are a few good folks still out there.
Nice one Bob.
You snuck that one in to upset the applecart.
Good to see a happy ending for a change.
Unless you missed a few lines???
Cheers
The ending was like walking out of a Steve McQueen movie with a happy ending. It's nice, but you're asking yourself, "Was that...?" because you were expecting the bottom to drop out at some point. 5/5!
Loved it Bob! This is how a loving couple should lead their lives, not the normal shit shows of infidelity that are the red meat of this forum.
Good story about a loving couple but there is a Mustang lover some place that might take issue with a part of the story.
Nothing interesting happened in this story. Not sure why you posted this. Surely you could have come up with something interesting to write about. Disappointing.
Most times JPB putting a serial-hint on his continuing story titles, but sometimes not.
One thing for sure is that JPB knows about LW stories. And this is a Romance or
Non Erotic story! Therefore, he shoulda put a Ch1 on this. Even though it is presented
in the Money-Honey time-frame!
In lieu of the pap offered recently, I can say that I think we all needed this one. Thanks JPB for a story that warmed the heart! 5🌟 - TANSTAAFL
A true loving wife story.
Clean and simple. Although, like many other, I was waiting for the bomb to drop.
Well done.
A loving wife who actually loves her husband and kids? What a novel concept! Enjoyable tale that wasn’t what I expected. Very nice job.
No twist? From Bob?! Okay, now I'm actually shocked!
I love the visual I have of JustPlainB0b posting the Mustangs on eBay Autos and getting a reply back within 10 minutes, some guy named StangStar06 willing to pay the whole price up-front and come drive them home one a a time... And him being WAY too happy when he sees how well kept the Mustangs are for the price, to the point of awkwardly hugging Bob, kissing his cheek and having to apologize! Good feelings, the whole way through.
Wonderful! A nice story about a normal loving family. They get their money through tragedy, but don't blow it. Nice change from the normal stuff.
What no post snip baby bump? It is so refreshing to see this outcome in loving wives. Well done sir, Thank You!!
A very pleasant 4, and once again, fellow commentators BlackJackSteele and Legio_Patria_Nostra nailed it in their comments. As did several others who said more or less the same things. I have little to add, other than to note there are good reasons why JPB consistently places on top of the LW author rankings, and to wonder why it's "Sally" throughout the story but "Salley" in the title. Perhaps a subtle shout-out to SS06's wife's pen name? The mustangs make me wonder...

*2. The last paragraph was a "waiting for the other shoe hitting the floor" kind of ending. AND I REALLY, REALLY, REALLY HATE UNFINISHED STORIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I liked it, until the end I was just waiting for the other shoe to drop. WELL Done maestro! A happy ending. Five thumbs up. Loved the adventures he had finding the treasures!
Gotta send you back to school, Bob. Last time I checked, 1 boy and two girls didn't equal four kids, but three. C'mon, that's an *elementary* mistake.
