WELL, I'm not sure where my focus was when I checked to see what the prompt word was early in the week, but when I went to link up, I discovered that the joke was on me. The prompt word wasn't prompt after all. It is Six Sentence Stories - Hatch. So let's see what creative thing I can do to make my six sentence story still work. Feel free to laugh at my error. I did!
She wondered why he wanted to be so prompt that first day there. After all, they planned to be there, just the two of them, for a week celebrating her birthday and their 50th wedding anniversary, a month early, and there would be many days they could watch that phenomenal act of nature.
The night before arriving they stayed in Jackson Hole where they took time to browse in some of the tourist shops and visit the town square with the famous Antler Arch. Driving to the National Elk Refuge framed by the Teton Mountains was a must see early the next morning before continuing their journey.
The conversation during the drive from Jackson Hole to Yellowstone National Park was interjected a few times by him inquiring as to what time it was and how he would need to find the perfect site for setting up his tripod and camera before Old Faithful erupted.
They made it was a half hour to spare, so she decided to walk down a boardwalk as he set up his camera gear, but then as she walked back toward him, she was shocked to see almost their entire family practically hatch out of nowhere approaching her singing Happy Birthday!
He managed to pull off a great plan!
ReplyDeleteYes, he and the family certainly did!
DeleteI have done that before, got the prompt wrong. And I shared the wrong prompt with Val. We both published any way!! Good six on the fly...
ReplyDeleteOh, I'm so glad I am not the only one to make that mistake. LOL
Delete"Good six on the fly..." HaHa
Nice recovery Pat👍
ReplyDeleteYou had me going at first! Thought I'd gotten off track lol. When I go into my dashboard there's all sorts of six sentence stuff and it does get a tad confusing at times😁
But a nice story working in both words. A+ in the creative columm!!
Thanks, Denise. Sorry that I had you going with my intro.
Delete(referring to the previous Comment...) I enjoy your 'intros' they're an added treat to the Sixes. Even (or especially) with the shift prompt word/recovery of story occurrences.
ReplyDeleteGood Six
Good writing
Thanks. I was so glad I was able to "save" the SSS because I really didn't want to start over.
DeleteWhat a neat story. And what a setting for the celebrations. You hatched a fine six out of the prompt.
ReplyDeleteIt was a wonderful place to celebrate and to share the entire week with the family. :-)
