Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for January 08, 2021

Beatrice looks to be perfectly happy with her life, and capable of keeping Stan’s issues at bay.

No wonder Stan is so prickly.

Stay out of the rose bushes, Stan.

If Stan’s mood gets any lower he is going to sink right into that couch. Come to think of it, if that happens. Bea could then give the couch to Goodwill. Poof no more conflict. And no more Stan. Its a win win!

You shouldn’t have visited that host the first time, never mind revisiting them.

He never promised her a rose garden…and never will.

Stan does enjoy a good mull.

OK fellow senior citizens. which TV show had a neighbor named Thorny ?

Sit on a bramble, did he?

“A rose by any other name… would still have thorns…” ☺

And Beatrice is quite content to leave Stan dealing with his rose bush problems on his own. She knows he has a good eye and will plant those little ones in a good place.

Most involving the last season of ‘Games of Thrones.’

Stan is in a deep dream of bikini beaches!

If this wasn’t a rerun I’d say: pondering 2020 again?

Been there… Often…

The horsehair couch is just one of those thorny issues.
