Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for September 16, 2019

The neighbors will be so pleased! They have been worrying about you!

ALL of Ballard Street is getting back into life.

From the look of Chuck’s posterior, I’d say he has gotten into a lot of life, also candy, cookies, ice cream, burritos, & baked potatoes not to mention those Carmel macchiatos extra whipped cream he is addicted to.

He’ got a lot of shakin’ to do.

And,,,we’re back!

Won’t life have something to say about that?

He’s just happy, as I am, as well, to see a new day dawn on Ballard Street!

He’d been planning for a long time to go out and walk through the neighborhood.

But you know what it’s like…

You get into listening to Jefferson Airplane, and staring at the lava lamp…

Embroidering more flowers on your bell bottoms…

Then one day, you notice that the nice kid who always delivers your groceries from Manny’s Market seems to have gotten gray hair.

Before you know it, it isn’t ’72 any more…

you’re 72…

And maybe you should go out and see what’s new.

Oh, my! Two in a row. Might this be the start of something good?

Chuck hopes to impress the new widow from Guadalupe.

….and life just said , “Chuck stay where you are!”

Shake your booty dude and have a good time.

Happy days are here again … Welcome back.. we missed you

And so is Ballard Street! Hooray!

And Life kicks Chuck right in the maracas…

YAY – You’re back!!!!!!!!!!

I don’t go anywhere without my tambourine.

Well WHADDA KNOW!? Miracles do happen. Good afternoon Balladeers and Miss Susan!

I’m so glad to see this back!
