Lucise,
I think we've settled on the blonde haired Carol, you can probably get rid of the other one.

L

Done!

Leslie - how can I get Ennis to send me a letter?
Can I just write to LazyL and ask him or what? Hmmm?

If you write to [email protected] you will most likely get an answer. Jack is on the computer for hours every day, much to Ennis's annoyance. I was surprised to get this postcard, I thought Ennis had given up on the US mail! LOL

But heck, I had no idea that was Vincent D'Onofrio!

I think it was one of his first roles. That movie is so much fun to watch because it has a bunch of actors who went on to bigger and better things. Vincent D'Onofrio, Elisabeth Shue, and Anthony Rapp who played in RENT for years and is in the movie version, too.

Hey all,  It takes forever to post here from my computer... Anyway have pm'd Louise and all but laid my first borne at her feet. Think she is doing a terrific job.  You guys are a hoot too. Doing a great job picturing characters, the El Camino, etc...
Reading the board is fun.

I like Judd Nelson for Beagle too. And I like David's Nate! That's exactly how I imagined him to be!

Louise - I thought chapter 47 was so emotional. I was choking up. Edna is such a darling, I am so thankful Ennis has Edna and Wes in his life now. And his thoughts on Jack and love and his tears at the end, jesus, powerful stuff.

Thanks so much  :)


awww you are quite welcome.  And hey did you see my "pro Horse" plug with Nellie as a lil darlin?  I did that for LovemHorses!  *wink*

Chapter 47:

"Nellie, who pranced up to the gate, ears flicking forward, eyes bright, and he slipped his hand between the slats, opened flat, and she nibbled up a chunk of brown sugar, crunching on it with a nodding gesture of her head, whickering."

Really lovely image, Louise.  Loves Nellie!

Oh, and Edna too.

And Ellery.

Get the picture?   ;D

I knew you'd like it, I knew it, I knew it!  I hope that picture IS of a bay!  IF it isnt I'll edit the post!

I am in BadenBaden now and will be ready in about 10 or 15 minutes to get into chat mode, if this thing speeds up.  If anyone missed it, we are holding a thread LIVE CHAT!  click on the lips on the main menu and you are there!  and bring your questions for the author, because I am sitting here munching on yogurt and apple and drinking spring water with nothing better to do!
