Aunt Dorothy, Dotty’s namesake, had come to visit. She had hated for Dotty to marry Hank and move to the country. To Aunt Dorothy, Hank was a hick. He had no class, no manners, no sense of style.
Auntie tried to keep Dotty well informed. She shared her latest delve into fashions of the current year. Her latest rage. Men’s fashions!
“Oh, Dotty, you just should have seen the men modeling the most chic garments!”
Squinting her eyes, she said, “Oh, I see you have a marvelous statuette in your garden.”
“Yes, Hank provides gorgeous art forms,” Dotty smirked quietly.

ABOUT ME
Hello. To various folks I am Neat’nee, Mom, Grandma Neta, Gramma, Aunt Neta, Aunt Noni, Aunt Neno, and Aunt Neto (lots of varieties from little nieces and nephews). To some I’m more like “Didn’t you used to be my teacher?” or “Don’t I know you from someplace?” To you, perhaps, I am a Fellow Blogger. Not “fellow” like a male or a guy, but “fellow” like a companion or an adventurer. I would choose to be Grandma Blogger, and have you pull up a chair, my website before you, while I tell you of some days of yore. I have experienced life much differently than most of you. It was and is a good life. I hope to share nuggets of appreciation for those who have gone before me and those who come after me. By necessity you are among those who come after me and I will tell you of those who came before. Once upon a time in a little house on a prairie - oops, change that lest I commit plagiarism - and change that “house on the prairie” to “dugout on the prairie.” So my story begins...
Sweet aroma 
That does look like a well-dressed scarecrow.
I think Aunt Dorothy did not see well enough to judge fashions since she could not tell a scarecrow from a piece of statuary. You are right, however, this is a very nicely dressed scarecrow. 😀
Every girl’s crazy bout a sharp dressed bunch of sticks
Dotty liked her fellow even is he did not look like a slick stick. She went for the muscles protruding from his
That was not supposed to have stopped there! Help! She like his muscles from his Duluth jackets, snug arms wrapped around her. Do you do FF, Larry? I didn’t find any on your blog.
That’s so very good . At least it all worked out
Your pair of Dorothy’s definitely have differing perspectives. That was good for a chuckle.
Thank you. Did you write FF? If you did, point me to it. Yes, these namesakes did not have the same priorities in life. 😀
We’re square. You already gave my murderous scarecrow an “Icks!”
Oh, yes. 😀
Haha, I quite enjoyed this one. Nicely done.
Yeah, you are just a give me a fellow simple, plain, and sweet, aren’t you?
Kinda, just giving you appreciation of how I especially liked this piece. 🙂 It gave me some giggles.
Good. You have an auntie you do not always agree with, huh. I’m glad you liked my piece of fun.
Not just one. Aunties. 😀
Smiling at you. 🙂
Well written response. Not sure about the image. Who or what is it supposed to represent or is it .Just a scarecrow.?
I think it is just a simple scarecrow, but in reading the other contributors, I find they found all sorts of nefarious goings-on. 😀
Loved their exchange. I suppose it will soon dawn on the aunt that she’s been outsmarted by her namesake.
No, her head will stay in the cloud. Do “elites” ever understand the “common element” among us? She will die with her pie in the sky demeanor. 😀
What a delightful story. Love the pair of Dotties! God is good to put all kinds of interesting people in our lives.
Blessings.
Yes, we do run the rampant, don’t we? I have many more “Duluth” people than men fashion models, however. I’m second Dottie for sure. 😀
A couple of dotty Dorothy’s! Good chuckle 🙂
dotty Dorothy’s. Love that. I’m chuckling along with you.
She’ll never understand the country, where function trumps aesthetics.
You have it! I have a “just give me something that works” philosophy of life. Thanks.
This is simply delightful and a welcome change from all the spooky tales this week!
My story!
Oh, yes, I remember taking a “reverential” dodge at your place. Something to do with birds overhead. 😀 Thank for letting me know you enjoyed my story.
Believe in the power of art.
Especially if you can hardly see. 😀
Haha!
Ooh, good one! I think Dotty made the better choice here. 🙂
You, Dotty, and I would make good friends. 😀
This is hilarious! Either Aunt Dorothy was nearly blind, or Dotty was. . . .um. . . dotty?
