More chapters on the way when I stop getting interrupted!

Agree with David, Betty White
NO! Edna is not too nosy. I was thinking that she and Wes are not nosy enough. They have alot invested in Ellery emotionally. I don't see her being the typical jewish mother, but yea the chicken soup thing is there. She is not just a prop who sends food home for the guys. She has alot of time on her hands at the ranch. And if they (Wes and Edna) have known Ellery for awhile than yea, she would easly fuss over Ellery, and he is probably very used to it, and rolls his eyes like all kids do when there tolerance is exhausted. They probably spent Christmas together, birthdays, and in some way have their own dialog, like kids and parents do.

I can definitely see that with Wes and Ellery, we've had fewer conversations between Edna and Ellery (in the story, at least). I actually see Edna being very much the mother Ennis never had and given he is at the ranch every day and probably eating lunch with her, they may be becoming very close.

Agree, I could see her making lunch for the guys, and asking taking a napkin and wiping the corners of Ennis's mouth. And Ennis liking it too!.
