Parting is Such Sweet Sorrow


Farewell, Disgruntled Shopper. They came for you the other day, and I am sorry to see you go. I wish you could have had a slightly more dignified trip home than being pried up, wheeled down the sidewalk, and placed unceremoniously in the back of a truck, but we all respect your stoicism and ability to carry heavy packages for months at a time with nary a complaint.


The whole town was excited when you arrived.


I couldn't resist visiting with you each time I passed by on Main Street, jokingly giving you an extra package. You were not amused.


I admired your festive hat at Christmas, but again, you did not seem amused.


Goodbye, Disgruntled Shopper. You will be missed.

  2. She's probably somewhere telling other Disgruntled Shoppers that she had a blast.

  5. Awww, that is so sad! Though she is unsmiling, I think she brought smiles to many faces! May her next home find her as interactive as you did!

  7. She reminds me of me, always looking disgruntled while shopping. LOL ;) Shopping is not my favorite thing. I hope the storm is not going to get you, Bonny! Have a good weekend after a Happy Friday!

    1. I'm fairly sure that's exactly how I look when shopping, so maybe that's part of why I liked her so much. We are getting some of the storm, but it's too bad (so far). We've had loads of rain, and probably 4" of snow, but it was so wet that much of it has melted. Now we've got 60 mph winds, which have led to losing electricity a few times, but it's back on now, and I got my chicken pot pies baked, so it's all good. Wishing you a wonderful (almost pre-Spring?) weekend!

  10. She was alway calm and no nonsense, slow and steady, and at the ready to get things done (if she ever got home). She will be missed by many and she might be secretly pleased by that.
