They're going to peak over the whole thing and then see about romping through the sweet smelling plains of Champagne. The only decent excuse for not wearing the weather proof jackets was that they were following the advice given by the peace maker. They cited him word for word. I had no choice but to agree.
How'd I do???
The one that bothers me most is the their / there / they're grrrrrrr
Great! My biggest problem was with Champagne. I get them mixed up all the time. Lol. And after I wrote that para, I realized either Champagne or Champaign could be used. One as Champaign, Illinois (or as a plain) which is what I had in mind, or as the bubbly as a discriptive. So you'd be right either way there. :)
