    Week 17Write about someone who books a bargain vacation, only to be told when they arrive that they need to share a hotel suite with a stranger.Elise needed a getaway...someplace rich. Or at least with things to satisfy her rich tastes. She was livwww.onedoor.ccing in the sticks without so much as a department store to get your retail therapy from, and it was getting old. There was no place to wear her designer gear, no shop for a makeover, no ladies who lunched...none of that. Just a hippie town with a lot of artisans that shunned labels and high heels.

Depending on the occasion) Ginger had her own problems, with the power went the heat. I threw some wool socks on and went down a few stairs of my little house to start a fire in the fireplace just to thaw out some. Ginger gratefully curled up by the fireplace while I made a cup of tea.  I looked at the clock while grabbing a gluten free Biscotti. “Oh my gosh! Is that the time?” I said under my breath. I grabbe...Mpqone door
