Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for August 18, 2014

You never know what ol’ Nancy will do next.

Nancy may be balancing dishes on her head, but George is spitting again. Anyway if he doesn’t humor her, she will try to balance the dining room chairs on her head and we all know what happened when she did that. Plate glass picture windows cost a pretty penny.Nancy has another session with the Psychiatrist on Tuesday. he is hoping for a break- through soon, they are down to 3 plates, 5 glasses, a spoon and 2 1/2 chairs..

Bev, the name map is fascinating, up here about 10 years ago every girl, it seemed was named Brooklyn. Now its weird stuff, like Aca and Dolliea? Must be the new pot law!They publish all the new babies in the paper every week.

They look happy to me…In fact, I think pretty soon they will both get into reenacting how the Dish ran away with the Spoon…

@beviak. I love the map of names. Looks like Jennifer’s way ahead. I need to tell my daughter, Jennifer.

It’s all part of a balanced breakfast.

Wait till you see what she can do with a cast iron skillet……

Nancy’s glass isn’t half-full.

I’m wondering what bunny is up too?

@Bev, my kids all have family names (at least for their first – not middle). Oldest boy named John (same as both grandfathers) then Rudy (after his dad) then Michael (middle name from my dad and brother) and my youngest is Julia (after my exe’s mom). I chose to have no more after 4 (due to his salary and over his objections).

Many of the grandkids seem to go the “most popular” route, though (like your map). In my day, we deferred to family tradition.

I never wore any hats as crazy as those, but still have many of my hats. Some co-workers considered me odd enough for wearing ANY. I even had to make it clear that it was no more OK to try on my hats than to use my toothbrush or such. some people!

Nancy isn’t spontaneous, she wants to be ready for any occasion! She plans well.

Just missed BEV, I see. I would wear a teacup hat, but not a coffee mug or tumbler.Just to be clear.

Good Night, Ballard Dears.

Who wants some burning hot food?
