Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for July 23, 2014

Cynthia’s new glasses help her to focus.

Cynthia is used to Harvey and his strange penchant for striptease, staying focused keeps her sane.

Harvey! Sit down and pull your shirt down, For goodness sake!

Hey…. Maybe she likes his belly…She’s so focused on her book she missed it, but maybe she would have watched his little strip-tease had she known.

Yeah, yeah… maybe not…but it isn’t it at least possible for affection to remain triumphant over arbitrary standards of beauty?

The older I get, the more I’d like to think so….sigh….

I see Larry’s up to his old tricks.

The above was highjacked from StelBel’s bucket.

Morning Doh, take a good power nap later. It could help.He could get that shirt on easier if he first undid all the buttons and remove his glasses.

To be fair, Harvey was doing pretty well until that bee flew down the back of his shirt…

; ) @ beviek – Seeing as how both guy and girl pirates have plenty of knives, swords, cannon balls, and other assorted weaponry stowed away in their voluminous pockets… I don’t want to make any comments (other than flattering ones) about their chosen mode of dress.

@beviekStill, you should be able to tell the difference…

She can haul my keel any time she pleases…

I am always focu

I think standing ON the furniture is a bit much, but otherwise, it looks like a normal Saturday to me, although if we are reading usually both of us are and . . . wellthe other too

We appreciate each other.:-D

She’s almost monomaniacal.

Pirate Lady just borrowed this nice little dress in Ballard Purple with White Dots……there! Now, doesn’t she look like she belongs on Ballard St. now…..? Sheriff? Veteran? Happy?

(… grumble …)…I suppose…

I have to say, I plan to be GONE for 5 days at my daughter’s to celebrate her 50th. I’ll catch a plane tomorrow and be back here Tuesday. I will miss any activities in the meantime ;-(

Have a good trip DAZZ.

I like the purple polka dotted pirate with glitter. Now we can tell who is who about the Ballard Galleon.…Pirate ship, that is.

I can see that HAPPY likes his version best.

I think I will try to get some shut eye now.

Good Night Ballard Dears.

Yawn… Still awake. It is humid tonight. And all I can hear is the thump, thump of loud music somewhere in the vicinity. Yawn…hope it stops soon so I can sleep
