I for one am very glad that Brian is staying out of the Lindsay / Melanie mess. He has done all he can, and too much of it. They just need to figure things out for themselves.

Good riddance Mel! The problem will be Jenny; I doubt she will want to go to Portland with a mother who doesn't let her be who she is; that would mean get away from the family and her potential boyfriend.
Author's Response: Big decisions.

I hope Bree will not get bored by the piano lessons and will use this beautiful old instrument.
Author's Response: Let's hope so.

Bree and the cell phone: the battle just started...
Gus and the presentation: he must have sensed that the guy was gay and he reacted to that as his father would have done; he let his instinct take the lead. Has the guy not been gay, he would have kept it quiet. He may not be an ad man, but he's got some great qualities from his father.
The Jeep idea is quite moving for Brian as it's an acknowledgment of his relationship with Justin, not that he needs it from Gus.
Author's Response: Yes, cell phones are a definite problem.

Gus should be worried as it's not like his mother not to ask how he is doing. I hope Gus will be more attentive during his next day at work and not play "my father is the owner and I can do what I want". Once wasn't OK and Brian's warning was not a joke.
Brian was really funny avoiding Winona.
Author's Response: Gus has some lessons to learn. Brian should avoid Winona.

I love how Bree is direct when she explains things, just like Brian.
Funny scene with the frog!
Author's Response: Thanks, Bree has a lot of Brian's characteristics.

Poor Taylor: he learned a lesson the hard way and the drama wasn't too far. Poor Molly: her mother-in-law is awful.
Author's Response: Taylor has to learn. Molly's mother-in-law may not be so bad.

Another potential family member? For now he is under Bree's spell.
Bree is very attentive and it's very funny how she explained Brian's moods.
Author's Response: Bree is extremely perceptive.

Taylor is so funny when he calls the Kinney-Taylor family members.
Bree is hilarious with her comments on the shopping trip.

Gar-gar is the father-daughter activity! It's been long since they had such quality time.
Author's Response: Yes, that's their bonding time.

Gus got his fur harry. Bree got her new piano teacher, and Ted got the order to check her out. Mel's burning her bridges.
The next story like might not go as well, if I remember rightly.
Author's Response: Some problems are sure to arise. LOL

I'm happy for Ray and worried about Gus. I keep expecting him to make a mistake by being too cocky. Bree's piano is ready but let's hope she gets along with Hope.
Author's Response: Gus is going through growing pains.

Todd and Brian should do well. Gus on the other hand might not pull it out next time.
Author's Response: Gus is at that awkward stage.

So many things going on. Todd has found his place in life, Riley is fixing the piano and suggesting Drew might want to get back to playing. Lindsay and Mel are not thinking about their kids. That's not going to work.
Author's Response: Todd and Riley are fitting right in.

Richie is finding out that his parents aren't going to let him work at his studies and not have any down time. Bree is keeping Brian on his toes and Justin is reaping the benefits. Gus and Ray are making sure the new bed is (sleep?) worthy.
Author's Response: Love the question mark after "sleep". LOL Bree keeps them all on their toes.

WOW, WONDERFUL as always. Your stories are so real in comparison to some of the stories written. It is real life by a family that is more loving than most. I love the twists and turns and new characters that get slipped into the fold. And, taking an object like a piano and making it a central focus point in the story is amazing. Thank you both again for sharing all the wonderful ideas that you have for the Sunshine Files. I will continue to read them as long as you write them.
Author's Response: What a wonderful comment! Thanks so much, and I hope you continue to enjoy reading the Sunshine Files.

Poor Michael. He never pays attention does he. He's permanently stuck at 16. JR will be okay.
Author's Response: Michael seems incapable of growing up.

Now we know all about Riley and who would guess that Emmett would know all the gossip? <snicker> I wonder if there is a Riley and Danny in the future?

When I posted I always hit the opinion section this time the only thing that came up was none. Not true, cause I like, like, like.

Brian should try resisting Bree's requests/demands; she should learn not to ask so much.
Author's Response: That's extremely hard for Brian to do.

Yeah, a new member in the extended family!
Bree and her chiffon dress! Poor Brian; he tries to stop/slow her down, but he isn't very successful.
Author's Response: Bree is a power unto herself.
