A few years ago when I took a writing workshop at University of Iowa during the summer, it wasn't clear they could have the workshops because the river was flooded so badly. By the time we got there, it was down some, but there were still trees standing in the "river" like this. Today, it's R-words on Alphabetaphilia, so find 5 R-words and make a sentence with all five, then post below in comments. Enjoy reading others' ideas. cheers, Laura
