Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for June 14, 2013

Mavis just wanted to let him know the lemonade was ready.

What a card that Arthur is!

Is the Farmhouse a new pub in town?

Hullo all…..

I just passed Arthur and Mavis’ house….You wouldn’t believe where Arthur is standing, the silly old foo…

Oh! You’ve seen him.

Hope he gets down in one piece!

Bev I DID watch the video…. again…. er…well, I mean, it’s been months, and it’s very educational, isn’t it?

It seems to be a newer version, cos he never takes off his shirt.

Top o’ the world, ma!

Edclectic…. but…. we certainly hope it won’t be the same for Arthur as it was for Cagney when he said those words….

He likes to change things way up. How’s the view up there, Arthur?

Arthur’s actually peeping into the Hamelshot’s bedroom.

It’s Fantastic Flag Day Friday, Ballardeers. Let’s all salute Old Glory – No, not Susan, the flag, Munkey – I started to say, let’s salute Old Glory with a special Flag Day cocktail down at the Tiki. Will concoct one that will make you see stars but won’t put you in stripes ( prison stripes, that is. )I’m thinking about something with clear rum, blue Curacao, strawberries and whipped cream. How about it ?

He is on the roof porch, next level up.

Where’s his fiddle?

@Ling, That sounds like my Dazzler -with the addition of a little Goldwasser for the stars – I like the clear rum instead of vodka, although I think I have some rum with a bit of coconut too. I’ll check my stock.

To have red for the RWB, I’d toss in a maraschino cherry!Strawberries and whipped cream can be saved for . . . other uses! Strawberries dipped in a mix of yogurt (or sour cream) with lots of Kahlua are yummy!

“I’ll alert the media.”

Reminds me of Third Rock from the Sun. When they would sit on the roof.

Maybe Arthur should change the oil in the car once and a while too, how ’bout it now!

Nice touch with that curtain blowing out the window!

OK, Fenton, I’m getting ready to head home now. I’ll be at the Tiki in about an hour. Start lining up those Bloody Caesars. They do take time to make and I will be thirsty.

bev, What a HUNK! Oh my! Is he tending bar tonight? Hm?

Susan, how could you miss that? LOL!

Perfect, StelBel. And just in time, too!

City Hall’s in need of a face lift.

We, in the PNW, are sweltering.It got up into the mid 60s where I live.Tomorrow, 68.And the humidaty is going to drop to the low 60s by evening.

Arthur is nearer his destination and about to be slip sliding away, *bev.You know how much I love Simon (and Garfunkel too.)

Good night, everybody!

bev, that link for Dry was so subliminal, I almost missed the sublime!(naughty…but nice…naughty girl!)

Good Night StelBel. I missed you by two minutes! I kept getting phone calls on my way here.

Good Night Ballardeers. I seem to be out of sync with everyone tonight. Sorry I missed the fun! But I enjoyed catching up on some of the comments.susan, you can’t tell me you missed that! lol (You’ll never live this down you know.)

Turn out the lights, the party’s over. For me, anywho. Roll me into a corner of the Tiki with a blankie and pillow ane wake me in the morning, por favor! Good night Balladeers.

Long day today.Night all.

Very late for me too. I was researching too much stuff and just checked back here and DS

DON’T JUMP!

Arthur…… Arthur, Arthur, you have reached that age; the old playful games have taken on a life of their own. Shirley is up for anything, always has been, you know that….but standing on the roof without your pocket protector….I know I know, your shoes are shined, the banking is done, the garbage was taken out, Rusty Boy was walked and the visit to the park was a sterling success. Your eyes maybe transfixed on the horizon but that’s not necessarily a good thing. Where’s your head and how come I have to ask?

Good morning Balladeers and Tigressy!
