. When they finally arrived at his grandparents house in Vermont, for what seemed like a eternity in their car, his grandparents instantly camme out...to welcome them and my dad and I began to bring in our luggage and place it in our grandparents 3-storey house in the middle of nowhere. Everyone began to mingle in the living room whil John decided to find his grandfather's computer to check in with his girlfriend. He found and turned it on but to his surprise his girlfriend wasnt on so he wrote. We were back up and on the road at first light. This morning we stayed together and took the horses galloping for about an hour. It was a bit riskier that way, but I wanted to get some distance between us and that town. We slowed down and Tina went back out in front. Kathy went behind and Boland was my traveling companion.“I didn’t see the children that I gave to you when I was at the inn,” I said as we rode.“Not to worry; they are still with us. Kathy would sooner lose me before them. It does. I looked at b**st who was a bit further down the beach toward the waterfall pool. I nodded to him and he continued down the beach. She saw it and commented, “That’s where you’re going? That would be nice. How come b**st stayed away?”“Males, honey. They have no stomach for these talks.” Which caused both of us to laugh. And then to hug. “I do love you so much, Alex. You are growing up so fast. Maybe too fast for me. I wish I could cuddle you like a little girl sometimes but you are turning into. ”He smiled at that. “Okay, I guess I’ve been known to call it a pussy, but not around your mother. She doesn’t like words like that.”“I love the word pussy.”He gave me a serious look. “Do you now.”“Ummhmm. Did it have a big bush?”“No, it was clean shaven. Very smooth. It even showed the pink insides.”“Good enough to eat?” I asked.“Watch your mouth, Essie.”“Don’t you eat pussy, Dad?”“That’s really none of your business, Essie, and I’m surprised you’d ask.”“Sorry.”We ate in silence for a while,.
