Lucise, up there above, I think Ellery looks like he's saying "Damn, I am ready to fight some crime!"  and Ennis sorta looks like, "No need to be in a tizzy, Mr. Coyote will come after ya whenever ya want..."

Ranchgal - Thanks for the comments about the hats. I think that is what they must have been referring to. (Are you saying that women were held to the same "remove it out of respect" standards that men were? I find that interesting.)


No they never really got as picky with the girls-but they didn't consider a cowboy hat a bonnet either--but when in people buildings I just did anyway, especially at cattle conferences and meetings, when you would probably be around both types,LOL and usually tried to leave mine at home.  Just made everything easier if I wasn't worried about what to do with it.
NO when women met people they were allowed to keep their hats on, anytime except church and the national anthem.

I have to show off a little bit here as I (again) successfully guessed who is behind the attack in the chat room yesterday ;D.  Now let’s all wait and see how Louise is going to tell the story to us.

I am looking forward for some kissin’ and cuddlin’ for Ennis and Ellery.  With everything going on lately, they sure can use some.  Yeehaw for the next chapter tomorrow!


yes, she did.  Fortunately for all of us, Jenny was not around to guess what Edna was going to find in the bedroom when she went to serve Ennis his lunch!  She is 2 for 2 on figuring out my plot... her first correct plot guess was knowing who ended up in the ditch:  Jim Allen.
“Mr. Coyote always gets me good, boy,”  Ellery said, winking.  “Almost forgot what life was like before I got me my own personal coyote.”

I'm surprized that Ennis didn't blush when Edna saw the vasoline on the nightstand and say that it was for chapped lips!   LOL.  After all, he is so private about everything else! 

I agree David but I don't think Ennis is English enough to think of response like that off the top of his head as it were!
