Join the challenge and write! Slice of Life Stories hosted by the Two Writing Teachers It's Friday the last day before spring break and she's coming. She's coming. She's coming!  She's really,  really coming!! She leaves  early this morning before the sun even decides to peek beyond the horizon. She'll hop in the car with music and audiobooks and lots of time to think, so paper for scribbles of slices. She'll drive and drive and drive stop for a rest and drive and drive and fill up on gas and drive and drive and drive. Almost ten hours later she'll arrive. She'll be here! She'll be all smiles and hugs!! Be safe, my momma. Let the angels travel with you watching, loving, protecting. Click on the buttons to return to the TWT blog.
