Date: 21 Sep 2013 11:16 am Title: As Good as the Best Day He Ever Saw I’m glad I read this, patina. I enjoy reading stories that take me into the action and that’s what this story did. I love the back-and-forth dialogue among the Cartwrights. It’s like you know them, P!Thanks for sharing!*

I thought the trail and fight scenes were well done, as well as the boys’ reaction when they found out their father was in jail. Good story, Patina!

Ha! I really can see this as an episode, actually. It was just so *Ben*…. ? Very enjoyable little tale, thx for writing!
Enjoyed this. Found myself chuckling in a few places. I can understand Ben’s wanting to prove he still has what it takes but I hope he stays home next year. Its a sight more comfortable than beans, trail dust, sleeping on the ground, spending a night in jail and having one of your sons bail you out.
Nice story that does justice to one of my favorite lines from an episode. You painted a colorful picture of life on the trail and I could feel every muscle spasm! Loved how you ended the story, Patina.
Thank you, Cheaux! Getting old certainly isn’t for sissies. Glad you enjoyed this story.
