Here's mine for today ~
Sisteron, France
August 22,1944
"Vive la France!" Mellie Blake crossed the sod runway, arms outstretched as if to hug the country...
"Isn't the light exquisite? Alice shielded her eyes and gazed around. "The Impressionists said Provence has the best light in the world, and I have to agree. I can't wait to get out my paints."
Kay didn't know anything about light or paint, but the scenery was gorgeous - the rolling Durance Valley, the mix of golden grasses and deep green trees, and the sudden white of limestone cliffs, one topped by an ancient citadel... "I'm looking forward to Paris."
Captain Maxwell chuckled. "Never fear. You'll be shopping on the Champs-Elysees before long."

For MizB's Teaser Tuesday from In Perfect Time ~
"Folks back home don't like to see women in danger, and the newspapers smell a story. The Army's managed to keep them quiet, saying it's in the girls' best interest. The more of a fuss we make, the more the Germans will be determined to find you. They know you're out here. They're looking. And they don't like to fail."
