Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for January 06, 2025

Rhoda, Irene’s sister, has been trying to get others on Ballard St. to build miniature barns so they can take their ‘barn-storming’ show on the road.

I hope the prop doesn’t behead all the neighbor’s prize tulips again.

Props to the Sigsby Sisters!

Well it is certainly better than the Peep Show they ran outta their Garage.

I went to the weekend air show in Old Rhinebeck NY a few months ago and thoroughly enjoyed it

Nice to know some of the Ballard Street ladies are meshuga too not just the guys. You go girls!

Better hurry, it’s already two streets away.

Run Irene Run!!!

Welcome back my friends to the show that never end, so glad you could attend, come inside, come inside.

TODAY’S LIMERICK.

There’s a couple of sisters called Sigsby,

Who come from a city called Bisbee.

Be on your guard,

Cos out in their yard,

They hurl dangerous plane parts like frisbees!

Hate when that happens.

Propeller? I never touched ’er!

Good morning Balladeers!

hmm… looks like an awfully large propeller for a small air show!

Fun fact, it was the Wright Brothers who invented that type (fixed pitch) of propeller.

Oh! No need Irene. The wind will bring it back.

Their future is up in the air.

you can tell that the sisters are flying by the seat of their pants…

Looks like that propeller might be able to take out a few squirrels.
