Pickles by Brian Crane for July 26, 2024

a new pair of bunny slippers?

Earl can go online and bet on futures.

Opal has a gift.

Putting on a jacket?? It’s JULY!!!!

Sometimes having a motto can be a real gift to someone – especially in the present time.

Every day is a gift, that’s why it’s called the present!

God knows EARL will never buy her one.

I just hope she has the presents of mind to present the present to the present president1

I like that saying. Especially the present!

Reward yourself when you feel down reward yourself without a frown reward yourself for any reason. Reward yourself in every season.

A slightly better version: “You have to settle with the past, engage in the present, and believe in the future.”Kate Baker, in “Cheaper by the Dozen 2”

Don’t worry Earl……. I’m baffled TOO

Opal, the great presenter….oy

Mine is hope for the best, prepare for the worst.

I like her philosophy. Retail therapy can’t be beat!

Lofty motto; nonsensical application (typical Opal).

She finally gets IT!

“Live it up, Opal.”

Great idea, I’m heading out for a maxo-jumbo Culver’s Banana Split.

Are they getting an early fall over there?

Every time I need to order something mundane from Amazon, I check my wishlist to see if there is anything I could get to make the order more exciting. In other news, why is my credit card always maxed out?!?

What kind of present, and can we afford it?

It didn’t work back in the day, it won’t go anytime soon, and it won’t fly now, Opal! So forget it!
