Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for April 09, 2016

Bev and capt muttWhy thank you, I’d love a nanner dak and a cookie, or two or five.Mighty neighborly of y’all!

This is the book that started Allen on his path to the hoosgow.

Chuck starts out small. Soon he will graduate to a real pond like Allen. Unfortunately Allen will be in the hoosgow.

ring ring ring ring ring ring ring, BANANA DAQSSorry Raffi No more banana daqs for you monkeys jumping on the bed

That cop thinks there’s something fishy going on…..Allen is obviously thinking “Isn’t that just ducky!”What I’m thinking is "Oh, wow, Bev!

Thank you!"

I mean, I don’t need for you to buy me a banana dak tonight, cos I just made a big grinderful, and I’m on shift.

But I’m sure we’ll have a few more takers before I go home. Or a couple of dozen.Speaking of dozens…mmmm…I could just eat my way through a dozen of your snickerdoodles tonight….

You are so generous!

Monkeeee … Bev brought snickerdoodles!Oh…. and welcome, indeed, Captain Mutt.

Just ask Fenton for your “Welcome To Ballard County” package….He usually has one behind the bar.

You’ll find small gifts, brochures, and coupons from various Ballard Street organizations and merchants…including, among other things…a 20% discount on a reading from Madame Beviek, 3 yards for the price of 2 at Dennis’ new fabric store….a 45 minute tour of local properties from StelBel and Mel O’Dell, Ballard County’s premier real estate agents….

and a half price haircut at my salon!

For you, and anyone who doesn’t know him…this is Fenton.

Best bartender on whichever side of the Rockies you’re on!

And Rose…great find on that Jerry Van Amerongen book!

Hey! Y’all !!!!! Bev’s buyin’ at the Tiki !!!!!!!(but keep it quiet, I think she’s trying to keep it a secret.)

Old man river.

…puddle?

This must be van Amerongen’s salute to the start of baseball season. “Ducks on the pond!”

Duck duck Hoos-gow!

Allen just wants to visit his secret water garden.

Bev. hold out for induction cooktops!

Bev, a vegetarian might have labeled the same photo with the opposite message!
