Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for October 09, 2018

The pearls will be a nice touch for Michelle’s (Mike) outfit.

He’ll need a cute pair of shoes to go with that dress.

Margret might not be happy about him wearing her good dress.

Don’t go there, Mike.

Small steps, Mike.

Think again, Mike. And think harder this time.

Let it all hang out.

Getting dressed every day was starting to become a drag.

No Mike! Not the purple dress! It doesn’t do a thing for your complexion! The blue is much nicer. Brings out the color of the veins on the back of your hands.

Don’t listen to the naysayers, Mike. You do you. But if you stretch out Margaret’s dress, she’ll kill you.

It’s not Margaret’s dress!

Margaret would be so insulted!

First… Margaret is very proud of her size 14 figure… all things considered….

and Mike-as-Michelle wears a 22.

And second, Margaret doesn’t wear Springtime prints after Labor Day….

Third-through-twenty-fifth… Margaret would never wear lavender trimmed in yellow.

No, I saw Mike buy three dresses at Aunt Sally’s Vintage Barn and Antique Depot… you know about “Aunt Sally’s”, right?

There are dresses in the thrift shop, of course…. but the nicest ones are put in the Vintage Barn.

(Which gives you an idea of what’s left in the thrift shop.)

Jesy… he has some cute shoes right there in his hand…. size 13 1/2 wide.

Soo lucky to find his size that day.

And Dennis….small steps are all he can take in those shoes.

Margaret doesn’t know yet about “Michelle.”

Mike thought he’d surprise her.

Their 44th wedding anniversary is on October 23rd…

and they’ve been thinking about renewing their vows.

Mike was thinking it might make their ceremony look very fashionable if he showed up in a nice pale pink gown.

You people are all crazy. Mike is more of a short shorts guy.

I left the address for the Hospital that ppyfss is in at the end of the day yesterday.

Mike never should have bought those really light loafers…

This one makes me sad. Before I saw the caption it made me think of a widower finally facing the task of cleaning out his wife’s closet.

Pearls after Labor Day? How gauche.

It’s Sexy Seniors Drag Dancing night at the Tiki and Mike’s looking to up his game.

I just hope he chooses sensible heels this week. Last time, he chose those wicked black stilettos that not only almost broke his ankles wearing them, but put horrid bruises on the toes of his dance partners, when dancing the fandango !

Well now. Better learn about drapes and Judy Garland.

Don’t go there, Mike. There’s no place to put your pocket protector and pens, to say nothing of your comb and phone.

Mike is going to be lost without his pocket protector!

You go, big boy.

Is NOT your color, Mike!

Mike, that is going to be one very bad look.

He was a lumberjack, but he wants to be more like his dear papa.
