I’d been poor as shit for my entire life. I’d learned to roll with it most days. Other times, like this morning, it punched me in the teeth.
In Harmony- Emma Scott
I’ve never been hit in the face. My mother didn’t bother disciplining me. Though I saw men hit her and my aunt from time to time, no man has ever hit me, so I didn’t know. I couldn’t have known that the first hit, that baptism into violence, doesn’t just sting the flesh. It startles the soul.
Long Shot- Kennedy Ryan
His children were left behind, like a sock in a drawer that was almost empty, and that was a million times worse than if there was nothing left at all.
Bring Down the Stars- Emma Scott
I’m just a girl, standing in front of a salad, asking it to be a doughnut.
Lost and Found Sisters- Jill Shalvis
Ragged police tape swung from the columns. The double-wide front door had been blown open, like the house had died mid-scream. Like it is still screaming.
Every Deep Desire- Sharon Wray
Lovely, Jacquie

Thanks, Robbie. If I hadn’t fiddled getting my camera ready I could have got them out in the open! lol

I count four (4) planes, or, am I delusional? 🙂

I think there was actually 7 flying in a V formation. I was too slow getting my camera in place for a proper shot! I’m not sure, but think maybe they are Mustangs?

Beautiful, Jacquie! 😀 The sound alone is evocative of another era. We live about forty minutes from an old aerodrome which is now a massive museum of planes. They still fly the older planes and always come directly over our house … incredible to watch!

Wow! That would be cool, Annika! It’s like seeing a well restored old car or truck- you just know a lot of love went into the work ❤

I think the trees make a nice frame. I can imagine what they sounded like.

Not as loud as when the Royal Air Force’s Red Arrows flew over in September! THAT was cool!
