Overheards & Shout Outs

OVERHEARD
Are there tid-bits of conversations you’ve heard while standing in line at the grocery store, serving a table, or walking down the sidewalk that make you smile, cringe or laugh out loud?

“You know it’s going to be a good time when there’s a turkey on the wall.”

“Sugar cubes are the cutest!”

“And then the dog ate all my cholesterol medicine!”

“She was mean to me on the phone like usual.”

“I love her baby; she’s all squishy and fluffy!”

“‘Are you awake?’ ‘Yeah.’ ‘What are you thinking about?’ ‘CSI.’ ‘Me too.’”

“Don’t fall down or you’ll lose your two front teeth like me.”

“Essentially I’m eating cake and drinking cake”

“She was a swamp-donkey.”

“Turkey bacon. It doesn’t do anything!”

“It was either a zombie or a Ficus tree…”

“Cat in the wall, eh?”

“Oreos are like gold bars.”

“That’s a cute dog. It looks like a telephone pole with big floppy ears.”

SHOUT OUTS
Is there someone or something that deserves a pat on the back or a slap on the wrist?

“Shout out to all the business owners who stayed open during the ‘off’ season! You kept the county open for business to locals and visitors alike. The consensus seems to be that it was a busy winter/spring season and there has been no time to take a break. Let’s make sure to thank these year-round businesses for staying open instead of closing up and heading south for the winter!” ~ Anonymous

“Shout out to dandelions! So lovely to see you again!” ~ Anonymous

“Shout out to all those runners hitting the pavement of Peninsula State Park for the Door County Half Marathon & Nicolet Bay 5k on May 5th! Have a great race!” ~ Allison Vroman
