Yesterday we had a little social time in our part of the administration building to celebrate the arrival of two new administrative colleagues. The administrative assistants had provided some delicious goodies to eat, including a bowl of huge blackberries."Where did the berries come from?" Ken* asked. "They're delicious."
"Over on Campbell Road ," said Nancy. "There's a lady with a garden there, and you can buy produce from her roadside stand."
"Oh," said Ken. "Is that Jeannie McVeeney?"
"Yes," Nancy said.
I laughed. "That's quite a name," I said.
"Susan got to know her," Ken said, referring to his wife, who has a knack of getting to know everybody in town. "Jeannie McVeeney is quite an interesting woman." He gave a few facts about her story and the demise of her husband, ending with, "and she terrorizes our neighborhood. She's taken to lurking around with a shotgun, picking off the crows."
I don't know why, but I just thought the whole conversation was hilarious.
*all names have been changed
That is hillarious! Can I pay her to come take care of my squirrels?
ReplyDeleteBy the way, the Princess Potty Party was just a party to celebrate that Kaylee finally potty trained all the way. It was her reward for graduating to big girl panties. She got the cupcakes and the whole 9! I don't think we'll be seeing diapers anytime soon:).
Wow, that's great! You're right - it IS hilarious.
