It’s not easy to #uproot your existence and move it several hundred miles away.

It can be done, and it can be quite liberating.

“It seems like we’ve been here before.”

Grandma is certainly the sight in her worn-out robe and pink #fuzzy bunny slippers.

I just wish she wouldn’t go to the grocery store like that.

“Man, the weather has been so warm that it makes me want to speak in palindromes.”

“I’ll have a Manhattan, no bitters, with moonshine instead of the rye.”

The bartender gave a confused look.

“What is a Manhattan, sir?”

Her nanna prepared a fancy spread for their arrival.

He did not understand why a #scarecrow would appear in his front yard. He lived in the suburbs – there were no crows about.

“You mean to tell me that you’ve been out two weeks and all you brought home was a horn, two hooves and a #tail?!?”
