One really morning, Temon was up as he walked along the woods. Since he's son had been gone, he had been helping Esperanza to take care of their granddaughter. It was hard to care for her. She asked so many questions about her mother that Temon could not answered or did not know the answer to. And it was hard to talk of Utah being in the calvary. He knew they would try to free Utah some day, but when would that day come. He's son was missing the growth of his own daughter. Temon walked along in the quiet morning enjoying the peace before all the other horses woke up. He had to admit he was getting used to helping raise Gertrude with Esperanza.

"Grandsire Temon?"A small,musical voice called out.Gertie wanted to talk to him.When she found him,she said,"Can we listen to a story?"She asked.
(lol,listening to a story is like renting a movie.)

"I suppose we can," he smiled to her. "Lead the way."

Temon followed Gertie over to Esperanza. He smiled as Gertie led the way.

Gertie watched intently as the story of romance,dancing,and music unfolded."That was gerrrr-ate!"She said at the end of it.She was trying to imitate the moves of Dancer,the main female character.

Temon laughed as he watched his granddaughter try the moves. "That was," Temon said. Then smiled. "Gertrude, would you like to be with Granna Espie," he asked.

"To show her your moves," Temon said with a smile. "It's up to you. You can stay here if you would like."

Temon smiled it was nice being able to raise a foal. He watched over Gertie as if she were he's own.

Gertie tried to imitate the sexy tango that had been happening in the story,but as she did a sharp twirl,her gangly legs became entangled and she fell flat on her face.

"Gertie," Temon said as he ran to her side. "Are you alright," he said as he helped her up.
