Rabbit rabbit. I betcha forgot to say that, and that's why you're so late.
Either that, or you have something fun to do. Mmmm....I vote that you should have a whole bunch of fun, and then write your story. Never mind that people are waiting for it. Don't worry about us. *whine*
"The woman looked down at his tankard and poured it into his lap".
Then the cousins say "blah, blah, blah".
And then,“I had hoped these days would bring peace to my former flock,” Vater Karl explained rapidly to the large men that surrounded him. “I should have known the wolves would hope differently".
So what did Vater Karl hope would happen differently in a hamlet named "Wolfshausen" ??

Ariel, give you not only a story but a synopsis.
ReplyDeleteTerry, now you have the Cliff's Notes.
That's alright, JJ. Be around when you can.
TLP, you must be right. And whine away, I did some whining myself.
Well, I'm still whining 'cause of church I don't have time to read or listen. Just enough time to COMPLAIN. I have my values straight.

This was worth waiting for. Good job.
ReplyDeleteTLP, you prioritize well. I've always admired that about you. How was the coffee pot?
ReplyDeleteWelcome back, Actonbell. It's funnier to maim.
Karen, that's a superior point.
Thanks, blogmama.
Ahh Nice one this time.
ReplyDeleteThis is moving right along. Much faster than Part I, I think.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Cooper and thanks, Hobbes, for catching up. Part II had longer sections, but I think I had a better idea of the story, too.
