will's Guestbook

"I would think that our father would notice if Ponderosa became bone dry because you are wearing it," he said laughing. "And yea we have been but neither one of us really mind it though," he told Will as they walked to their horses. "Besides, I think both Adam and I work as hard as we do to burn off some of this sexual frustration we have built up," Andrew said laughing as he got up on his horse. 

Then Andrew continued his thoughts. "We will rest once we have our girls back in our lives. And don't worry, you have a Cartwright stomach, so you'll survive," Andrew said laughing as he waited for Will to get onto his horse so that they could ride into town for lunch and a cool beer. 

"It's a deal," Andrew said with a chuckle as he walked with Will down to the creek. And as they walked Andrew went back and replied to what Will said about a little dirty not hurting anyone. "And you're right about that, a little dirt never hurt anyone, but I think Pa might skin you alive if he knew you were packing the whole Ponderosa off," he said chuckling as he stood by a tree while Will cleaned himsef off. 

"And yea Adam and I probably desever a least a year's vacation," he said. "But with Pa being as old as he is and Hoss having sever health issues," Andrew added. "Adam and I can' afford to take off right now. But him and I can always dream," he said with a chuckle. "So, you ready to go yet?" he asked his cousin. "Because my belly is telling me it's time for lunch," he added with a smirk. 

"I like shiny and clean things," Andrew said with a smirk as he looked over at his saddle and then back at Will. Andrew stood there a minute as he looked at Will. Even though he was out there to help with the heard, but Andrew also knew that the ground belonged on the ground and not all over him. "Besides, I'm not the one that's wearing half the Ponderosa all over him," Andrew chuckled as he pulled out his hanky and wipped the sweat off his forehead and neck. Then he went on speak to Will about the rest of what he had just told Andrew. 

"Yea I know," he told Will. "But we became dads at an early age, and then with our sibblings, each having different things wrong with them," Andrew told him. "I guess Adam and I just had to grow up sooner than we planned," he said as he reached for his cantina of water to take a drink. After drinking a few drinks from his water, he put the lid back on and continued his thoughts.

"And yes I have been working since sun-up and yes I know the heard will still be here tomorrow, but right now, this is the only thing that is taking my mind off of things at home," he told Will as he thought about what Will said about taking a break and finally came to a desion, after looking up at the sky for a moment and then back at Will. "Okay okay," he said softly. "We can go grab some lunch and maybe a drink or two," he said. "But first cousin, you better take a dip in the creek and get yourself cleaned up," he told him.
