There’s the expectation, almost a rule, that when a character is most happy and everything is going great, that’s when the giant meteor falls from space and destroys everything. Which reminds. Recently we had someone feel the need to tell us off royally. ‘You guys never fight. You never argue. You enjoy what you do and everything you do. Gawd, I wish a meteor would fall on your heads!’ Funny thing is, this was not the first time. Sometimes I wonder why people defend and even seem to value cynicism and an actual hatred for happiness. So when Randie is happy and everything seems to be going right, everyone seems to expect ‘Now she’ll have to pay for it!’
Victory celebrations aside… at least she doesn’t have to work with gnomes everyday now… maybe she can get some peace of mind… for however long it’ll last.
Gnomeless at last. Although since Jimmy Chow happens to be a LOCAL artist I would track his exhibits and avoid them like the plague, if I were Randie…… running into ‘old friends’ can be very awkward!
“Friend” is a strong word. I see you put it in quotes… good thing.
Jimmy WAS a local artist… and since his ship came in, he’s in San Francisco now. SPILL, however, is a friend of said Jimmy… which is how she got the job with the gnomes. And awkward should be in the bold lettering! Perhaps we’ll get so see some of that … hint.
lol, I was referring more to the gnomes themselves as her ‘old friends’! I’d never make that mistake with the mysterious Mr. Chow. Randie’s disgust with the man couldn’t be clearer! Looking forward to where this river flows…..
Yes, having 299 gnomes would never do… and the quibbling over the one gnome who somehow didn’t make it in the box (how’d that happen?) would be an interesting conversation! As you said… Dum, Dum, DUM!
I was thinking about Randie’s reaction- “You mean one may still be here?!!?”
Followed by frantic ax-wielding searching.
Haunted by the missing gnome which may or may not be lurking nearby…watching…patiently waiting…
The Legend of the Golden Gnome…
Scooter or being Gnome-Free? Which makes Randie happier? Will the two together cause her to explode in a massive happy-fit? Stay tuned…
Massive happy fit in progress… off camera one gold gnome plots.

Then it’ll be ‘home sweet home’ instead of ‘gnome sweet gnome.’
Let’s hope so!
Gnome on the range?????
No Gnome on the range!
She’ll never be free of the gnomes…
They seem to follow her wherever she goes…
I’ve got a bad feeling about this…
Enjoy it while you can, Randie!

Or else Jimmy Chow complains that the shipment is one gnome short…
Dum, dum, DUM!

Tap your slippers 3-times and say, “there is no place like gnome.”
Ha! There’s no place like gnome… *tap* There’s no place like gnome… *tap* There’s no … wait… where’d the gnome go….? he was here a minute ago!
