[QUOTE="Dallas4lr, post: 2566754, member: 11492"] Father Rucker takes one last look at the small boy, as the small town begins to fade into the horizon. After taking his seat he can’t help but realize what a beautiful day it is. As the carriage passes one small house, he admires the tranquility of the countryside while the faint smell of freshly baked bread tantalizes his nostrils. Then as they make their way around another bend they descend into a valley that is covered with the greenest corn, all slightly waving gently in the afternoon breeze, for as long as the eye can see. The harvest would soon be approaching and the eating is always grand during this time of year. Father Rucker had a habit of spending Sunday Dinner with a different family every weekend; [COLOR=DarkOrange]“Oh how I will miss those Sunday engagements”, [/COLOR] he thought. [COLOR=DarkOrange]“What fool would trade all of this, for that God forsaken island of ice”[/COLOR] just the thought was enough for Father Rucker to hug himself in an attempt to brace himself from the cold.
