Real author, horse extraordinaire, Noah Vail
So, this was the reaction I got from Spruce when I told him that I was named Erma Bombeck Humor Writer of the month. I suppose that wasn’t necessarily a bad reaction. To think all these years I’ve been wasting my time trying to get everyone to take me seriously.
First of all, CONGRATULATIONS!
I think Spruce is expressing his version of jumping up and down for joy.
He is an expressive kind of guy. Nice smile, eh? Toothy.
And thank you for your kind note. So appreciate any recognition, especially from the wonderful Erma organization.
Call me silly, but I think he is just jumping with pride and ready to sing out in triumph OR he is saying, “What about me? What do I get?”
Lucky Spruce has just been named captain of the Fortuna Farm Hoofleball Team, so that should hold him.
