River for February 18, R-word Day for Alphabetaphilia


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

Wanting the secret riches of the mysteries of their romance to remain riddles, the two eighty-somethings retired to their armchairs in front of the fireplace, pulling out the pack of their ribbon-wrapped love letters, each of them reading the first of the letters in the stack to the other, reminiscing, then reluctantly reaching out together to lay them in the fire, their memories intact, private and smouldering with sweetness still, but with the evidence of their flame only ashes.
