Gee Whiz (2013)
“I CHANGED into my work clothes. I can only explain what happened after that by saying that all three of us must have been a little dazed or tired, or something, but the fact is, someone forgot to close the big gate. I don’t know if it was me, when I got out and opened it when we returned from the funeral. I don’t know if it was Dad, when he left in the truck to pick up something at the Jordan Ranch. It could even have been Mom, who had seen some wild rosemary blooming by the side of the road, a...nd wanted to dig it up and plant it in our garden. The thing about us was that we never left gates open.
I was thinking about what Jane said about racehorses, so I decided to get Gee Whiz out and clean him up. He was dusty from nose to tail. I wasn’t planning to wash him, just to curry him thoroughly, brush him, and rub him down with the chamois. He came right to the gate when I called him. I put his halter on, led him out of the pasture, and took him over to the barn, where I looped his lead rope around the bar.MoreLess
