I wrote something last night which seemed pretty good. Then I woke up this morning and realized it was awful. Reminds me of some old country song where the guy is in a bar, he spots a girl who's a "5", by closing time she's a "10", and the next morning he wakes up to discover she's maybe a "2". I woke up to discover my beautiful girl was bald and missing a few front teeth. I've gone over it, re-written it, and it ain't gonna fly. So, here are a couple of my Unusual (not really) pics to distract you (hopefully). Besides, I'm still on holiday. Oh, and by the way, if you haven't already read the flash "Pen Pal" here, a version is available to read on Paragraph Planet here. (Featured Monday, April 25.) (If you're reading this after that date, you'll have to look me up on their site.)

I have the same unwilling stance on trash. And I wouldn't travel with you either :)

Wonderful post loved the pictures especially the Royal one. Here's one who hope to watch the wedding on TV on Friday,

To me, if I find interesting stories about how the night progresses as the level of demand goes down, that happens with certain people, more than we imagine. I think that's where one can draw many conclusions about the human factor and society.
ReplyDelete5 - 10 - 2 -- yikes! Your 75-word story is great, Lisa, and so are the photos; glad you posted them.
ReplyDeleteLove the pics Li - I'd travel with you, that looks like fun :) How noisy was it there?

Love the post Li. Your writing is fun and authentic! I have gone back and read my older posts and really wondered if I had even read them before posting (I know I had but really!)
ReplyDeleteThe barn is great. I am originally from Ohio and grew up reading faded sides of barns everywhere I went. So glad to see people are repainting the ads. Spent time in Pennsylvania & upstate NY too and at Niagara Falls. I'll travel with you any day!
Oh, forgot to mention I am a little selfishly glad your story didn't pan out for today so I got to see these great photos. Thanks again.
ReplyDeleteThat photo of the Niagara River looks quite tumultuous. The image of the barn ad too sends a warm feeling.
