A Picture Story from Jeff's Portrait of Words

This story was written by Betty and I together. I would write a line and she would write a line. The only other rule was that neither of us told the other where we wanted to go but we both tried to work in the pictures of the day. No wives or husbands were injured in writing this story.


Bud put on his old fishing hat and shirt and decided no matter what his wife said he was going fishing. No one will miss him and he needs a change of scenery. He could see himself driving across the bridge on his way to the old fishing hole up in the mountains. Into that little blue car would go his fishing gear.He might even stop at that nice roadside stand and pick up some grapes.
" Bud! Bud! Don't forget we're going to my mother's today and I already have the motel reservations."
"No, no! Mothers! yes, yes Fishing, Oh well mothers I guess."
So the dream ends, maybe next week.

News from Pigeon Falls

The little town in my basement where the trains still run, dragons fly, and life is back to normal
With the defeat of the demon life in Pigeon falls returned to normal. There were no more missing animal mysteries for the Constable to solve. The dragons flew over every day on schedule. Tommy UK and Oops had repaired the damage done to the main street by the fight with the demon. The Homeland Security people had salvaged what face they could and gone home. The whale was back in the Lake of the Loon’s. The ghost piano player played on schedule and the shoes danced. The poltergeist served coffee at Nancy’s which somehow seemed like a happier place. The milk train ran more or less on schedule. Tourists kept coming in brought in by the stories in the tabloids , most of which weren’t true. Everybody was starting to plan for Pigeon Falls Days. So many things had to come together. There were no new driblet translations to scare people. Petrovich and family left on vacation for Hawaii on Monday.
Everything wasn’t perfect, however. The constable had given Mrs. Trumble notice and in thirty days would be leaving. She was advertising in the city papers hoping to find a good person for the job. Given the money the town now had she could offer a good salary and a nice work package. She even thought they might get an assistant constable.
Tammy had fallen out of love with Tommy, as young girls will, and in love with Fred Slovinsky Jr. Tommy UK ‘s heart was broken as only the heart of an eighth grader can. He had, however, resisted the temptation to turn Fred into a frog with his ring. However, any time he came near Tammy there was a distinct chill in the air.
One had to say life was back to normal.

Wrap UP

A fairly good day. We still have the high bid on the family house. The auction ends at noon tomorrow. I visited all the friend's links and left comments on entries I hadn't already commented on. Betty spent the day working with the rose bushes and the hanging baskets. We also tried a new recipe for saffron potato pancakes. They were very good. My sister called twice to check on the auction. Now I need a breathing tretment.
