Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for September 02, 2016

The Ballard Street branch of the Masons is low on funds.

We’ll let you wear a cape….

My Etsy shop is open!!!www.thebackyardbride.etsy.comCheck out what I’ve been sewing all summer!

They were looking for someone with a red dress to play the part of a virgin. It would be a sacrifice at short notice but it never hurts to ask.

Look at those candles. Wicked!

Is he going to taper off?

Marleen never wants to play…at anything.Curtis should know better than to even ask.

It looks very dignified at first glance, Marleen. Maybe you should at least hear what it entails. Could a celebration be in order, perhaps including snickerdoodles?

Ceremony is a big part of life on Ballard Street…Rites and rituals are respected there….

Even if, occasionally, one or the other partner doesn’t care to join in…

Tonight, I can’t stand on ceremony…..I would keel over.

It’s been a long couple of days, and a busy few weeks…I haven’t had a chance to keep up..or even catch up….but hopefully, that’s changing.

Oh… and I found this picture that the Monkey asked to have posted a day or so ago…though it’s probably too late now…:

Good night, all!

Does it involve restraints?

“Ceremony is a big part of life on Ballard Street "

Susan’s absolutely correct. Here, for example are the Sherif( I dint ask for any help)MunkyBluz Auxiliary Deputy Deputies at the opening of Ballard Bocci Courts, Lawn Bowling and Dog Park

Well, it’s a ceremony to award a prize to the most contrary woman on Ballard Street…"

Oh he says you might like it.It involves sweaty well built men running and dancing about chanting glorious songs about the Sun Goddess.Well you still want to join……Sun Goddess?

The Secret Order of Secrets.

Or maybe he belongs to a secret disorder.

I have posted some photos and comments at Citizen Dog concerning the van.

You have no idea how happy i am.And, there is no way that i could have done this alone.I think that about 1/3 of the cost to make this happen came from me.All the rest, except for $500 from my boss, came from people here at GoComics that donated to my GoFundMe.

YOU made this happen. All of you that donated to my cause.

And, I’m just starting at making a difference, I’m sure.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!

Besides, she has nothing to wear.

That’s how I feel when someone wants me to participate in party games.
