Looking up the side of the mountain that closed off Haff-Bent Ranch from the rest of the world, Cal saw the first vehicle full of trail riders working...its way down into the valley, moving slowly from one switchback to another. He would have to teach Willie that this was one of the most important times in the trail ride, as the riders disembarked and, as if drawn by a giant magnet, moved to the corral to view the horses up close. It was during this time that Cal matched rider with horse,. She's got a better sense for clothes, and I wanted to look perfect.Kay is always down for shopping, so we hit the Promenade and had lunch. Shopping on an empty stomach is bad luck according to her. During lunch she grilled me. Ok, ok, she merely wanted to know what I was looking for. It felt like a grilling though."Are we shopping for a special occasion? Or, even better, a special someone?" she asked over the rim of her wineglass."No, just need something new, I'm planning on going out tonight,. Y’all are really dark now, you must stay out in the sun a lot too.”“We have a swimming pool at home and we never wear a swimsuit - Mom either. She loves being naked as much as we do.”“My Daddy has a friend, Margie is her name, and she loves to lay out in the sun naked too. And, when we’re not busy in the store, I lay out naked with her.”“Your daddy has a store in Stewart? That’s awesome.”“Yeah, it’s a small grocery store, and now Margie will have to work fulltime, since Daddy is letting me live. All pretence at cool had evaporated. "Enough playing around, just hand the fucking thing over. Gimme the zapper, NOW!"I patted my trouser pockets in a pantomime display, and suddenly realised that the pretend was real. "Sorry, Vince, it doesn't seem to be on me." So where was my lovely new bracelet? With my fone in the changing room of course. What an idiot!For a second, I thought he was going to swing at me, and I almost flinched. But he reached in his pocket, and dragged out a large black.
