Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for January 02, 2019

Left so fast even her shadow is gone.

You should never face away from the edge and lean back in your chair when you’re so near the edge of the deck…but I’ll give you an 8.5 for that backwards somersault out of the chair after it landed in the bushes.

One wonders if she spiked her afternoon tea.

Nothing will give you more of a spike than when you have your notebook out just when you come up with the important idea.

Mr. Tannerluber is parading around in the altogether again. I saw him headed for Mrs. Nizley’s street. I hope she isn’t on the porch writing poetry.

Susan!

It’s going to take YEARS to get that bush back in shape!

I told them last time that they needed a railing on that porch, but did they listen to me?

“I won’t be doing that again.” is what she told me.

Now just look at what she’s dome to my foyer. Like whahoppened said, it’s going to take forever to fix that mess.

Blood.. or bladder pressure..

Dang kids wouldn’t get off the lawn fast enough.

She was looking pretty bushed.

To be fair, hearing “dresses half off” on the radio, very likely would have had the same effect on Mr. Nizely…

Been there, done that.

He finally heard the starting gun of Life. It startled him!

It was the Butler with a candlestick!
