Play it, Jen


Every good movie has a piano player somewhere in the background--
sometimes seen, usually unseen.
Seldom really noticed.
The feeling, the very soul of a scene, is created by that person tinkering at the keys.
It has been said, "All the world's a stage."
Well then...Play it, Jen.

Location: Over Yonder, Missouri

I'm a California Native transplanted to the Missouri Ozarks. I've learned how to chase cows in high heels and load hay faster than you can say "Coco Chanel." These are some of our pictures and stories of living in a land with breath-taking beauty and adventure around every bend.

For Chelsea

Sick Leave

I urgently needed a few days off work, but I knew the Boss would not
allow me to take leave. I thought that maybe if I acted "CRAZY", he
would tell me to take a few days off. So I hung upside-down on the
ceiling and made funny noises.

My co-worker (who is blonde) asked me what I was doing. I told her that
I was pretending to be a light bulb so that the Boss might think I was
crazy and give me a few days off.

A few minutes later the Boss came into the office and asked, "What in
the name of heaven are you doing?"

I told him I was a light bulb.
He said, "You are clearly stressed out. Go home and recuperate for a
couple of days."

I jumped down and walked out of the office.

When my co-worker (the blonde) followed me, the Boss asked her "...And
where do you think you're going?"

She said,
"I'm going home too. I can't work in the dark."
