Since mention of a certain item of jewelry always turns Marie and me into a puddle of goo, I thought I'd share a current hot photo of Heath Ledger's hand (that's Michelle's hand on the left)...
You can see all of Heath here:

Ha, ha, ha! Hey, I've always thought that a man's hand can be very, very sexy - especially when contemplating the hand in, .....er, action! ;D
Phew - oh, yeah - love that famous encounter in Chapter 65! ;D
Jumping back to Chapter 64 at the picnic:
Edna brought a platter of hotdogs and hamburgers to the table. “That girl a yers gonna show up for dinner or should we go ahead, Ennis?” she asked as Ennis sat down.
“Oh she’s a good girl, she’ll be along.”
“All right then, Ben, don’t touch just yet,” she cautioned as Ben reached out to fork a hamburger onto his plate.
“There she is!” Jess said excitedly as Nellie cantered into the yard, Junior wearing a broad smile, her hair now loose and streaming behind her.
Junior reined in at the open gate of the paddock and slid out of the saddle as Jess jumped up and trotted over to take off Nellie’s tack. “Good ride? Ain’t she a great horse?”
“Oh yeah!” Junior said, breathless, and slipped her bridle off, giving her nose a rub. Nellie nodded, nickering softly. „Just leave er in the paddock Daddy?“
“Yep that’s right,” Ennis said, standing up. “Ain’t she a darlin?”
Wes grinned. “I swear, that Ennis loves his horses.”
Jess took off Nellie’s saddle and reached for the bridle as Junior handed it to him. “Thank you so much fer helpin, I do know how ta saddle a horse ya know,” she said softly.
“Just... helpin out, yer a guest an all. We do that for everybody who comes to the ranch.” He glanced away shyly, cheeks slightly blushing.
“You work with my Daddy?” she asked, as Jess put the saddle up on the fence and closed the paddock gate.
“Oh yeah, he is a really good horse man,” he nodded, and Junior looked at him sidelong.
“He sure is. Come on, I’m sure they’re waitin,” she urged, and led the way back to the picnic table, where Ben Tooey was already reaching for the hamburgers once more behind Edna’s back.
“Come on an sit down... Alma is it? “
“You can call me Junior, that’s what Daddy calls me,” she said. “I really love Nellie.”
“She didn’t give you a hard time or nothin? She was a wild one ta break.”
“Hell no Daddy, I ain’t shy a young ones, you know that.”
“Sure enough,” Ennis beamed.
I love seeing Ennis as the proud daddy beaming at his little girl. And it was so much fun reading the LJ comments on these chapters - the speculation about Junior and Dupree - LOL!! - and then the speculation about Junior and Jess. I had forgotten about that! I wonder if anything more will come of that now that Junior is moving to town! More to ponder!
Thanks for the quotes, Leslie!
