I was horrified to be halfway up the Chester Creek path with Marz this morning and to realize that Penny Cooper was no longer in the side pocket of my bag!
I retraced my steps – – 2 miles back – – and found her on the stoplight across from Speedway gas station and convenience store – – purveyors of the Big Gulp I’ve been writing about and of fried chicken, a half-eaten piece of which was next to Penny.
Look how pleased she looks with herself, the darling! It also looks like she may have had run in with a vehicle.
THANK YOU, kind stranger!!!
Having an escapade!
ReplyDeleteYes!!!
DeletePhew. Sorta close.

They have a psychic grapevine!
DeleteOh Ms Penny Cooper, you little feisty - Don't ever do that again. Beth Anna has been missing for three years- that causes the others distress, sort of. The orphans are pretty sure that Beth Anna has an invisible cloak. No worries. Anyway, yes, thank you stranger, I hope the fried chicken was worth it.
ReplyDeleteI remember Beth Anna! Darling squash face, she could be in the House of Dreams in London.
DeleteI wonder where she took herself off to… Invisibility cloak seems a good bet!
How relieved you must've been when you found her! A kind stranger, indeed. Even left her a snack!
ReplyDeleteI was! SO relieved to see her.
DeleteWhen I picked Penny up, I left the chicken, and this morning when I walked past the light pole, the chicken was gone – – I suspect one of the people in the alley or just as likely one of the seagulls that is constantly scanning with their sharp little eyes for things to eat.
