Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for November 17, 2007

That looks like tutu much fun.

Yes, Sid, dressing up is lots of fun. And if you go out the door on Ballard Street, you will find many Ballardians who share your tastes.

Cleo, my girl doesn’t need an alarm clock. Or a megaphone! She makes her point and comes back into the house.

Only 7 days till our national day of giving thanks.

But somehow, the Clifford’s neighbors haven’t mustered much howl-a-day spirit.

And yes… Ballard Street is a wonderful place,

where a man is a man….

unless it’s a good day to be a mouse…. or a cow… or a ballerina.

No one worries about who wears the pants in the family, or whose shirt has the most ruffles…

or who has the cutest high-heeled slippers with marabou-and-flowers-and-OMG-Sid-where-did-you-get-those-can-I-try-them-on????

Haha, job done Cleo, you can go back to sleep now!!!

@MABRANDT – Pittsfield, MA* is only 55 miles from Belchertown!!! (if you take Route 9 instead of I-90).

* Pittsfield seems like a logical destination for the FWMAGALG**

Howling mad Cleo, the crazy fool. Pity the fool.

Good Girl!

Cleo knows you have to keep a schedule. People depend on you.

Good laugh today!
