AP alert: What started out innocently has ended up to be more major than first suspected, the Associated Press released this afternoon.
Apparently, at the Benevolent Society of the Aged's planned day trip went as scheduled, initially. One of it's oldest residents, Ms. Wanna B Detective had coordinated this long awaited excursion with tremendous excitement.
The Benevolent Society has a world reknown activities department, boasts its Executive Director, Peggy-Sue Stukky.
Many months ago, it seems, Wanna b detective aka Deborha Forbes, suggested an outing with her long time SCS friends. This trip required tremendous planning and communication, according to Ms Pammy Lawver, activities Director since 1967.
"We had to communicate with several US based assisted living communities to make this happen".
Happily, Ms Pammy was able to secure an elementary school bus for this journey. Plans were to have Ms. Pammy drive Ms Wanna B detective to northern California to Pick up Nutmeg, and her elderly sister, Connie jo. ED, Peggy-Sue was scheduled to ensure school bus compliance and oversight of the aged's behaviors.
Unpredicted was the horrendous monsong rain Ms Pammy encountered just after her Sacramento, CA arrival. Safely, she was able to pick up the 2 bobbsie twins and then head on over to Seattle to pick up someone by the unusual name of Stamp Muse.
Our sources cannot, at this time, confirm the whereabouts of Stamp Muse. It seems, Ms Pammy was distracted by Ms Wanna b Detective and lost control of her 12 seat capacity school bus. Passengers stated that when Wanna B detective tore off Ms Pammy's glasses, the bus took a tumble as evidenced by the accompanying photo. Police called Tow truck dispatchers immediately to upright the flipped bus.
UPDATE: 4.03pm EST
All passengers were safely accounted for and only the bobbsie twins required hospitalization for minor injuries. The whereabouts of Stamp Muse is still undetermined at this time. Family members have been notified and The Scarlet O'Hara Nursing Home has also been notified of Stamp Muse's unavailability. As for the others, it seems their angel was safely watching over them. Ms Pammy was issued a citation for not using her seat beat and Wanna B detective was served with a felonious citation for physical injury to a person and for failing to stay seated and belted in her school bus seat.
The search continues for Stamp Muse. Updates will be forthcoming as soon as new information is obtained from the accident scene.
Family has asked that no cards or money be sent to those located and returned to their assisted living communities.
Thanks MariLynn for the precious handmade pink flower! Thanks Stamp Muse for the currency paper used as the solid yellow line Ms pammy apparently failed to see.

I'm ever SO IMPRESSED Mrs. Ryan. My goodness, somehow you were able to incorporate so many innocent and young SCS's into your delusional story. All I can say, is it takes an ole "f*?t to know an ole "F*?t!!!
Now, I'm surprised you didn't say "Family states that you may send cards and money to Anne Ryan"!!! I thought for sure you would use this as some fradulent way to make $$ off SCS's families. I mean look what you did to Sput in that fradulent contest that you, of course, won!! What a SHOCK!!
And, oh where, oh were could our little Stamp Muse be, oh where, oh where could she be. She's been taken by Ryan's people and will we ever see here again, oh where, oh where can she be?????
Oh, and I believe I'M the cute little ANGEL that saved the day as noted on the RAK I sent you previously; although, I'm usually much more sparkly!
I think it's clever that you were able to incorporate so many of us into this story, but I don't see where Terri was mentioned. Is she the only safe one out there??? And, why is Stamp Muse missing??? She's so giving and sweet. You need to do an update ASAP to explain her disappearance.
I'm sure there's a lot more I could add and will, but DARLING I would never go by bus - only by WARSHIP for my friends!!!! So, obviously, I'm NOT a part of this story. Mr. Pammy can verify this for me!!!

I realized I went on too long, so another comment to up your numbers and make you look popular, I did mean to mention that your card is done EXTREMELY well I hate to say!! What a great display and STORY (that's right a story as none of it is true) and that ribbon and flower are top notch. You did SO GOOD here Mrs. Ryan. I've been waiting for a good comeback and it appears you are on your way to giving us back what we truly DESERVE!!! LOL!!! TFS!!!

Thanks Annie Jo for not killing me in your story!!! I guess maybe I am getting back on your good side. However, I agree with my sis, mutnik, we NEED cards with money for our complete recovery. At least enough money for a box of hair dye. I used to get it done at a hair salon in the good old days when I was working. Now I use mystery hair color in a box but since things are getting VERY tight, I only color every 4 months. One of the men in our 'prime timers' Sunday school group called me 'blondie,' I guess it is time to buy a box of hair dye. My grey has turned blond!!! how can that happen. Annie, we are going to look a lot more like each other very soon!!! Thanks for the really cute story. Great card. Very clever of you as a blond.
hugs,

Hey, Anne, you ain't killed me off yet!!! Brat is correct, as usual. My cat went bolting into the woods after that horrific accident and I had to go track him down. Dang cats! The minute there is a bit of trouble and they just disappear. Or was it the bus full 'o chatty stampin' women that made him run?!!!

Thank you, Ms Anne of Ryan, Queen of Networking and Sweetness ... I see you have several angels in your network and I so appreciate your supplying this darling angel today to watch over all of us. Phew ... that was a close one. I'm not quite sure I've ever witnessed an overturned bus referenced as a fender bender before ... you do have a way with words. ;-)
