Giving a nod and holding up the card she
has signed Mick and her own name to Rosetta smiles. She had wanted to do
more for Ashlee but they just didn't have the funds for it right now.
So throwing her a little part and the card was what she had to offer and
hoped she would like it just the same.
"Yes around lunch time after the guests clear out we are gonna have a little mini part for her. I'll see you there Sweety!"
Still
working on a different section of the saddle Ashlee listens to Eric
talk about racing again. She pictured everything he said in her own mind
and it seemed like fun. Just to go fast, to be close to the horse, to
be...free.
"I think racing sounds like fun. To be that close to the horse, the smells, the sights...it just sounds like fun."
Looking
up at Eric and searching his eyes Ashlee it was easy to see sometimes
how he missed something. Like racing, he had really enjoyed it and
now...now he couldn't. Ashlee could only imagine how hard that much be
for anyone.
Letting
the subject go for now Ashlee smiles and holds up the saddle to show
Eric. She'd gotten pretty good at this with Eric's help, though it
wasn't perfect it only made her try that much harder.
"I looks almost as good as new. It's amazing what a little oil can do."
Putting
the saddle down Ashlee turns to Eric again bringing her leg up onto one
of the hay bals. She new her mom has asked Eric to come to dinner
tonight but she didn't know if he would say yes or not. She really would
like him to join though.
"Are you going to come to my birthday dinner tonight? I'd like it if
you did...it would...it would make mom happy and I like seeing her
smile."
Heading to
the dinning hall with the package Stacy enters before setting it down on
one of the far tables. Going to the kitchen and seeing Becky Stacy
smiles. It was amazing how close knit the ranch was and how everyone was
like family. It didn't talk long to warm up to them and it was
something Stacy liked. In a way it was almost like a small community.
