Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for November 14, 2024

did the neighbors purchase a new mower?

It’s more that Raymond just doesn’t see crickets to be that big of a threat.

Raymond doesn’t mind when Audrey gives him a thorough pat down before entering the house, it’s the cavity search that gives him concern.

Audrey isn’t concerned about burglars. She’s determined to win the Christmas bake-off with her secret recipe fig pie.

My wife and I when it comes to watching the news.

Many an innocent Gentleman found alternate routes after passing by Ray and Audrey’s house.

It’s when she brings out her 20mm broom that they get really worried.

Good morning Balladeers!

There’s nothing like a good, old-fashioned corn broom to dispose of intruders!

Audrey’s skill with that broom is legendary. Fun fact, she is speed dial at the Ballard St Old Folks home to clean up any scuffles.

At least the new Homeland Security chief will protect us from puppies

So who’s cooking and cleaning?

The cost of freedom is eternal vigilance.

Audrey swings a mean broom……

Audrey’s been on heightened alert since her new neighbor, Al Kida, moved to Ballard Street.

With that angry pursed look on her face, Audrey doesn’t need that broom.

They also serve who only sit and read the paper.

porch pirates give audrey a wide berth…
