This isn’t a full dispatch—just a pause at the rest stop.
The holidays are a time when everyone’s attention scatters, including mine, and I want the final miles of Buckskin Rides Again to land when you’re actually able to take them in.
The last two dispatches arrive on January 4 and January 11.
Before I pull off the road, I want to show you something I didn’t have when I first wrote about it.
Visiting my parents after Thanksgiving, I finally took a photograph of the Victorian sleigh that lives in their home—the one Dad had restored for Mom and she has carried with her from home to home since the early eighties.
Seeing it again in person reminded me how much our family stories are carried in objects we keep trying to make whole.
During my visit, my nephews came for dinner and I suggested getting a few family pictures in it. Their eyes lit up, “Great idea! It’s been years since we did that.”
If you’d like to revisit the scenes where the sleigh appears, here are the two dispatches:
Buckskin returns January 4 and 11 for the final two dispatches. I’ll also be sharing a few behind-the-scenes surprises—including something I’ve been sitting on for months.
Wishing you warmth…
