Gertie books a place for them so that Morris can get away and think. But, boy, does it go awry!
Each week Rochelle Wisoff-Fields posts a pic to write a 100 word story about. This week’s photo is:

When You Need Some Time Away to Think, a Barn is not the Place
Gertie, you did it again, Morris complained.
Gertie couldn’t focus.
We’re schlepping suitcases across a field, like two meshuganas, to an old barn! For what?
Gertie was schvitzing from the strain.
All I wanted was to get away and think. Why a barn, Gertie?
Gertie mumbled about a storm
Storm? What storm? It’s clear.
She looked at the clear sky, the clear vision of the barn ahead, and knew she had made a clear boo-boo.
She said, I thought you said you wanted a barn storm.
Morris laughed. I said I needed a brain storm, Gertie. Not a barn storm.

Perhaps lucky that she didn’t hear it right. He might not have appreciated the electrodes
Oh, so you’ve met Gertie?
Aw, bless!
I’m sorry. Did Gertie or someone sneeze? LOL
Thanks for commenting.

Dear Randy,
What we have here is a failure to communicate. I hope she got a gantze magillah on that barn getaway. Love the Yiddishkeit. Happy to see you here in the FFFold, Reb Randy.
Shalom,
Rochelle
Always enjoy my time here on FF.
Your dedication and love is immense.
Randy
Cute story! At least Gertie tried. =)
You might say she had a brainstorm gone awry.
Randy
An easy mistake to make! Nice one.
Here’s mine!
A little too easy if you ask Morris.
Thanks for commenting.
Randy
Oh, what a funny story. Giggles. Great one… I can just see my Hubby doing that. LOL!
Your husband renting you a barn so you can get away and think? LOL
Thanks for reading and commenting,.
Randy
Gertie really knew her man – Not.
Hahaha.
But will she be able to keep him?
Randy
For a barnstorm they’d have to get really involved with politic, flying, or show business..nice one
Oy, do you the the wrong Barnstorm’s.
Their last name is actually Bernstein, not barnstorm.
And he writes, not flies, tours or does any politics,
But keep coming back, ok?
Randy
Very funny and an introduction to several words I hadn’t heard of before
Mazel tov! (Congratulations!)
Welcome to the clan (with a “c”, not a “k”).
Or, as some of us like to say, to the tribe (one of the 12 tribes of Israel)
Randy
That was way too funny! I’d be verklempt at the misunderstanding, myself!
and from all this shlepping around for nuttin’.
Good to hear from you, Dale.
Randy
Right? It schtunks (schtoonks?) big time!
Nice to see you ’round again, Randy!
Ha! Oh she did it again! A fun piece
Nu? So you know Gertie, I take it.
Thanks for commenting.
