🐣 A Little Bird Told Me About A Statue of Ronald Reagan Eating a Potato Pancake & More (Aug 2025)
Strange tips, questionable wisdom, seasonal hacks, awkward jokes, neighborhood secrets, eyebrow-raising facts and other things we definitely didn't overhear the Hens clucking about!
Reporting to you from Bucks County Pennsylvania, I'm Hazel Quackmore.
The flock’s been extra chatty this month—maybe it’s the back-to-school chaos, maybe it’s the faint smell of funnel cake drifting over from Doylestown, but the neighborhood grapevine is in full squawk. From busted pipes to bronze presidents with questionable dining habits, here’s what the hens definitely didn’t overhear…
🚿 Pro Tip: You know what’s worse than a burst pipe? A burst pipe at 9PM on a holiday weekend and having no idea who to call. Pro tip: Add Resistance Plumbing's number to your fridge before chaos strikes (267)664-8808.
First-time customers who mention This Old Nest get $25 off emergency service over $200—plus the relief of talking to a real human who knows what a shut-off valve actually does.
🔨 Insider Secret: August is secretly one of the best months to schedule fall-weather prep. Why? Everyone else is still on vacation, and you’ll beat the September rush.
Call Resistance Construction and mention This Old Nest for priority scheduling and a $50 off any interior or exterior projects of $500 or more.
Hidden Gem: Did you know that Doylestown has a bronze statue of Ronal Reagan Eating a Potato Pancake? Seriously, I can't make this up! You can see it and enjoy one of the best festivals in the area at Our Lady of Czestochowa Aug 30-Sept 7. The food is to die for!!
Back-to-School Hack: Label your kids’ lunchboxes with a duck drawing and their names. Because personalized labels are helpful. Duck-drawn ones are unforgettable.
