Postcard Story Swap - #1, 2 and 3 Received









This fun swap consisted of sending three cards to your partner, and writing a three-part story that matched the image on the card. This is the hilarious story my swap partner sent:
Card 1: "After 33 years in the schoolhouse, teachin' the three R's to squirming younguns, Miss Karen finally hung up her learning lasso, which she used to hog-tie reluctant learners to their desks, and headed west to Burns, Oregon, in answer to a Help Wanted ad in the Ranchhand Review....

Card 2: Three weeks into her new job on the cattle ranch, sweaty, smokey, and saddle-sore, Miss Karen finally had the Beef Branding Code seared into her memory:
3 legged cows = Tri Tip
2 legged cows = Lean Beaf
1 legged cows = Steak
0 legged cows = Ground Beef
English Cows = Sir-Loin

Not entirely content, she still had a burr in her britches....

Card 3: Under the next full moon, Miss Karen high-tailed it off the prairie, pausing briefly to telegraph her twin sister and three-headed cousin, to meet her at the Barnum and Bailey Circus try-outs. The rest is history!
