you know the most interesting thing about grey-eyed people?  Is that "grey" is one of those changeable colors,such as hazel.  Hazel-eyed people can sometimes look green, sometimes brown, and sometimes grey whereas blue-eyed people rarely look grey.

I am always reminded of Homer's "Grey-eyed Athena" and her association with morning mists... there aren't a lot of grey-eyed people around!

Yes, that fits.  Ellery is special in so many ways.  :)

Thanks, Louise

Louise,

You are so good at soft, lovely landings.

I like how you have wrapped things up with our couples in Laramie. Ennis & Ellery, Wayne & Pinky, Nick & Jeremy, Nate & Richard. It seems like the gay community in Laramie is doing just fine. I'm not sure where Jeeves is relationship-wise right now. But having this background, and knowing that all the couples are happy makes the Christmas story so much sweeter.

I agree with my_lil-darlin about the life you have crafted for Ennis. Ranch work that suits him to a tee. Daughters that adore him and want to be a part of his life. No more worries about money. Friends like Edna and Wes, Dupree, and the guys at the bar. And Ellery of course.

I also like the emotional journey on which you have taken Ennis with regards to his beloved Jack. By now in this story--and later on at the end of the Christmas story--Ennis has gotten to a point where he can remember the good times with Jack with a fondness in his heart rather than being torn up and depressed by his memories. That is a beautiful thing.

I like the way you end this tale with the idea that Ennis and Ellery can take their time and enjoy their love and lives together. Your “Now we ain’t in no hurry anymore” stands in stark diametric opposition to Proulx's "never enough time, never enough."

I, too, believe that Jack is smiling down on Ennis and that he is at peace knowing that Ennis loves and cares, and is loved and cared for in return.

What lovely thoughts, Milo.  I enjoyed reading them.  I liked this observation especially:
