‘Have you ever noticed this girl on the side of the milk carton?’
‘what girl?’
‘This one, she’s been on it for as long as I can remember, before I even met you’



‘It couldn’t be the same girl’
‘I’m telling you, it is’
‘well in that case, they’re never going to find her sadly…so what’s on the agenda for today?’
‘I called the gardening club before, they’re sending a rep over….she should be here any minute…matter of fact, that looks like her now’



I look out the window to see an elderly woman approaching…and…a young girl about Keira’s age walking past. Oh now a girl walks by…on a Monday morning…while Keira’s at school. Brilliant! What’s she doing out of school anyway?

Dave went outside to greet the gardening rep who shook his hand and introduced herself as Katy McGraw. We already knew who she was as Dave has called her around before but his request for membership was declined, but now he had his silver gardening medal he liked his chances better this time around.



I wonder how the city even knows things like that? Are there secret spies or something watching our every move? Ohh I’d better get that thought out of my head…that’s pretty creepy.
Ok so where was I?

After shaking his hand Katy promptly let go and entered our garage to play our guitar…for tips! Christ, you should have heard her.



Dave, trying to be polite while yelling over the horrendous sound coming from the guitar, asked her once again if he could join the gardening club.
Katy placed the guitar back on it’s stand before tipping her tip jar upside down (amazing that she carries one with her?) only to be surprised and disappointed to find it empty!

Well surprise, surprise! She was only playing it for all of 30 seconds inside a garage, where did she expect the tips to come from??

Anyway, Katy made a phone call and had 3 more reps from the gardening club sent over to check out our garden.



It was kind of embarrassing really, we only had a few plants and some fruit trees. One of them-that damned lemon tree- never producing any fruit.

The reps wandered around our garden, scrutinizing every piece of growth and object in the yard. Katy herself seemed very impressed with Keira’s scooter, somehow mistaking it for a garden decoration saying ‘Decorative elements are a fantastic way to personalize a garden’
Wow! I wonder what she’ll make of the swings!!



We only had a few measly items in our yard but they were enough to impress the reps as Dave received his garden club membership.



And to think! He was calling me a Nanna a few years ago when I planted a few flowers in my front yard to pretty the lawn up a bit. Who’s the Nanna now!

I’ll make a note to buy him a cardigan for Christmas lol and maybe a gnome…
