Hey June, did you catch up yet?  You going to join us in chat tonight?
I was just about to post that I was so relieved to be 'all caught up' lol You know how I hate to be even a few chapters behind! I think I read about 40 yesterday? And totally LOVED them of course!  :)

I want to read some more and I'll probably join you in chat if the jetlag will finally give me a break  ::) I can't believe it's taking me soo long to get over it. I get really sleepy at the weirdest times and hungry!  ;D

*off to read your latest*

Hi guys, chapter 11 is up at Louise's livejournal... I can't figure out how to nudge her to post the linky...
but you can access her lj this way: http://louisev.livejournal.com.  (I think.)

(Louise, if I screwed up by posting this, sorry, just delete the post, and no worries on my end, okay?)

This is Dubois, WY

This shot may have been taken near the Cowboy Cafe on the main drag through town, Hwy 26. The Wind River Range is somewhere behind the buildings. I was there in June! Cowboy Cafe advertises that it's been there since 18something-or-other, so it was there when Ennis and Ellery were in town. Suppose they ate there, too? (Soup was excellent.)

I wonder if there is a jacuzzi in the honeymoon suite just like this one in the Super8 Motel in Dubois just up the road from where E and E are staying?

Louise, the chapters in this book have been so very special, reminding us of so many important things in life...  creating such beautiful scenes as well.  May all future snowfalls/snowstorms remind me of E and E snug in their cabin...
 :)

(Nice jacuzzi that you found mm....)

I really, really loved the latest chapter. I guess I am always a sucker for the romantic ones...but my, Ennis, what a bit of growth for him. Every step he takes makes me happy, because he deserves a happy loving life.

I can't believe I missed posting chapter 11.  I must have really been out of it... it took me a long time to write that chapter, even though it isn't particularly long.

But I was pretty distressed last night, and I guess it helped me to write Ennis in a distressed state.  Real life is good fodder for fiction sometimes!

Thank you for all of the heartfelt commentary.
