Twirling, swirling, belting out a tune. Voice of an angel, heart of pure gold. Entrraptured ranch hands, cowboys and clerks, stand up clapping, on high alert. Out of place, one of a kind. The songstress from the East, driving them out of their minds. Meanwhile, behind the scenes, barmaids whisper, feeling mean. She’s stealing our men, taking what’s ours.

Tornado blew in Tuesday night, ripping up trees, causing strife. Power out ever since. Then the generator went on the list, broken down, of no use…….Ezra and I, have nothing to do. We’re just waiting around, needing good news……
