Ted The Shed, Chapter 20 - Beans

January 2012 is a brutal month. But I enjoy taking seed catalogues around to Dad's, so that he can divide all the vegetables inside into 'little beauties' or 'blinking washouts.' There is a very unexpected development in the romance department. Don't worry! it's only between Harry and the Lady of Shallot. Nevertheless, I have to think on my feet, in order to protect the Lady's finer feelings.

Don't forget to check out the playlist of Ted the Shed, regularly updated.

Continuing over on Premium now is The Great Gatsby, a story nothing like Ted the Shed.

More laughter with seed catalogs and your dad’s strong opinions! Thank you Mandy💖🌲

Another enjoyable experience! 🙏🙏🙏😀😀😀👏👏👏 I appreciate you more than you know!

Given what we’ve learned about Dad, I was a bit surprised by how giggled up he was about his “winnings” but his reason for wanting to cash in was incredibly sweet. Mr MS’s deer-in-the-headlights at the stove had me rolling, haha! And I too eat my peas and garden lauder as you do, it’s the best 😅. I don’t know what you’re going to do about the garden romance (cue the music!). Wonderful chapter, Mandy! 🥰

Makes me think of what I was doing in 2011-12. My mom died that January 2012. She was taken in by mail scammers, but mostly those asking for donations. Many hundreds of dollars were donated before we could get control. Made me angry too! You got me giggling in the end, Mandy, visualizing the bodyless “Lady” and her beaus! 🙏🏻😊❤️

I am thankful you’ve shared your father and life with us in this story. I am so excited each time I listen to a chapter. Many thanks your way. ( your writing and delivery touch me in a good way)
