Tuesday, December 26, 2023 – Retrieved Final Ribbons

Hi Darlin',
Finally managed to get down to the south end of the 50 mile endurance trail and pick up the rest of the orange ribbons, which took most of the afternoon. Flash was once again brilliant, stopping at starting at every ribbon, which only the occasional heavy sigh. I was a bit disappointed to find that the trail I had planned and delegated to be done wasn't the trail that was marked, making the trail short by nearly a mile. Good information to have for the future, though. Once we finished picking up markers, I let Flash pick a pace, and he decided he wanted to gallop all the way home, though I kept him more at a canter, with the occasional puddle that needed to be walked. The last few miles were a record pace, though! Exhilarating! Settled down for the evening, watched a Frank Campra movie, Pocketful of Miracles, which I can't believe that I've never seen before! Not exactly Christmas, but very heartfelt nonetheless. Had a nice dinner with the movie, and an eggnog ice cream and bourbon dessert just to top it all off. Heading to shower and bed, just have shopping planned for tomorrow, so no hurry getting up in the morning. Good night, baby! Love you!
