Well, at least all that's out in the open now. I wouldn't want to be Lance next time Ennis is working at the bar. He didn't seem fazed by the tape either.

I love the way that you write the girls Louise, they're just so... sisterly (best of friends, but constantly squabbling). Horses for Christmas though. Oh dear, oh dear...

You can't say Francine doesn't think on her feet!

Heh heh - Yep, she's lying again. Can't say I blame her this time what with Alma breathing down her neck! Oh man, hope she doesn't get everybody into trouble  ::)

Here's yer Christmas present Francine - probably costs more
than Millie but what the heck - money is no object. Anyhow Ellery
will probably deduct repayments from Lance's pay packet over the
next 20 years!

Lucise I think we are in need of a visual of Ennis bare chested and sweaty with a just been laid look. C'est possible?

Francine may have to back up and say they were just wishful hoping Ennis would get them horses for Christmas---somehow, considering Bill isn't going to help them with college expenses, I don't see him putting out cash to keep a horse for her.
She may think fast, but not too smart. LOL  At least when Alma asks Ennis if he out of his mind thinking about horses for Christmas-we can hope he thinks as fast as Francine did. LOL

If we remember way back when, Ennis was talking about bringing Pal and Socks back to Riverton--leaving them at the stable near Junior's house. However, if they are going to be going to college, they might not have time for riding and caring for horses.
