Pinky and the Mermaid


When Pinky first met the mermaid she was living in this old farmhouse. Her husband had died, and she spent most of the day on the weathered glider under the horse apple tree with damp dish towels covering her fishy parts. Although she wasn't orginally from these parts, she made a mean macaroni and cheese caserole. Pinky would have followed her to the ends of the earth, thanks to that caserole (and his love for the neglected).
