dec 1





He woke Saturday morning with an uneasy feeling, the dream crystal clear then suddenly gone...had it been about that last fight? Or maybe when he left Jack, only to walk away and puke, knowing...not knowing...mind and heart hurt...confused.

Thank God he had something to do today. Taking the kid to the ranch every week was acting like a tonic on him, giving him something to concentrate on, something he was good at, something he wanted to share...and he could see Ben changing before his eyes...he was totally at ease with Ennis now, and Ennis was more comfortable with him, a fact that made him realize how far he had strayed from his own family, and how he wanted to get it right.

Ben had also come a long way since the first time he’d gone to the ranch, learning and doing more every week, and he always took Thumbtack for a walk, just the two of them, so the horse could eat some grass...it was one of Ennis’s favorite things to see.

Even Junior had commented on the changes she saw in Ben. The kid was talking more, spending less time playing alone in his room...and all he wanted to talk about was horses and what he’d done at the ranch...Junior had already threatened Ennis with bodily harm if Ben asked for a horse for Christmas.

Thanks so much for letting me know you like it. I look at the counter of people reading...maybe 100 all told, and the comments...maybe 4...so don't know if it's bad or people are just too lazy to leave a comment!

So thanks again, good to know you like it.

Lazy it is! I look forward every day to see what they're up to but don't always comment. Thanks for letting us see. They're vignettes, but I know they take time to work out, and even to find the right picture...

Oh thanks, I know readers can't comment every single day....sometimes Ennis's days are just like ours: get up, go to work, eat dinner, go to bed...hard to comment on that. Right now, I'm interested in what his every day life might have been like, and sometimes it's boring.


Thanks again, I do appreciate you reading and commenting when you can...

Having these Saturdays is a wonderful thing for Ennis and Ben. I love the connection the boy is building with his grandfather and with the horses. Joe

That last line had me laughing out loud. I know what Ben will be asking for Christmas ;-).
Great photo as well.
