#3: Services? What Services ... ?!?


'Services'.

What 'services', exactly?

Out of curiosity, I checked to make certain someone hadn't superglued the lid shut. Seeing this wasn't the case, the services below came to mind 'the note leaver' may have been alluding to:

  • Shoe shine service
  • Book cart service
  • Last minute gift shopping
  • Manicure
  • Oil change (filter extra)
  • Annulments
  • Ikea furniture assembly hotline
  • The Rockettes ticket order service (Special guest: U2)
  • Meals On Wheels

P.S. Later in the day, the sign was changed to 'service' (singular) and switched to another stall.

Yup.

Here it is .... again. 'Ole Mr. Pumpkin, still hangin' around from last year ... still as fresh and vibrant as when he was plucked from the garden last fall. (Hokay ... maybe not quite as orangey as before, but doing well nevertheless.)

We have the tendency to keep our home-grown produce ongoing and living the good life on our front porch. That way, you see, we can enjoy our efforts all the live-long year.

I know. You're envious .....
