Crazy Day!!

Pal, Jodi, owner of 

'Periwinkle Place Manor Bed and Breakfast, in Chelsea, Iowa',

texted me last night... wondering if I was going to be open today.

Jodi had several Folks...staying with her, and wanted to send them my way.

<3

I'm frantically trying to get things done, here at Home... as we'll be pulling out for Daytona, in the morning...

so....

I thanked her, but told her "No."

Jodi...texted me, again this morning...

 I stuck to my guns.

: )

then...

she kept texting me.

: )

finally... 

told Jodi, I could be there from 1, 'til 2... this afternoon, if that would work for her Folks...

I'd be there.

: )

What a Great Bunch!!

So... Adored 'Deacon'... The Therapy Pup!!

<3

What a Sweetheart!!

<3

Jodi's Husband, John... had a massive stroke, just before Christmas.

After leaving The Rabbit Hole, 'Deacon'... was going to pay John...a Visit.

<3

: )

John's still in rehab, it's been a Very...Difficult Journey, these last few months, for Jodi, and John.

Such Wonderful People.

<3

I was expecting Jodi's Pals, but was Happily Surprised to see my Pal's from Catspaw Primitives, pop in...during that tiny window!!

<3

Asked them how they knew I'd be open... Elaine said... "We didn't, but saw the vehicles in front, as we were driving by, and stopped."

<3

YAY!!

<3

More of Jodi's Pals...

<3

Those Girls... were Absolutely Beautiful!!

Told 'em So!!

; )

They Blushed.

<3

At 2, I locked everything down... hit the stores, picked up last minute travelling necessities...

hit 'Goodwill'... grabbed a few 'Warm Weather' clothes.

{don't like shoppin' 'retail'. ; ) }

I've misplaced my Jean Jacket... found a replacement...

 it's not quite as Fun... but, it'll do.

: )

Doing laundry, and washin' the Gray...outta my hair, this evening.

; )

{Don't tell Wanda,

 {'Gatherings'... Anamosa, Iowa.}

I'm going to the basement, to do Laundry...before the trip. 

; )

She... worries when I do That. ; ) }

<3

Hahahahahaha!!!

<3

Allyson, and I... were just just reminiscing about 'That Trip'.

She said... "Barb, I'm sure you had a concussion. You, were in rare form... 

Remember.... 

I had to cut your leggings off, at the B&B in Texas... and help you dress your leg wound."

I, do... kinda remember that.

Oh...my.

: )

I'm pretty sure, I had a concussion, too.

; )

Couldn't feel the right side of my face, or skull... for over a month.

That's what I get... for chasing paperwork... down the basement stairs.

; )

Not keeping my mind, in 'The Moment'.

oh yeah...

I was in the middle of a 'brewing'... IDOT 'Condemnation'. 

Was thinking more...about 'That', than the laundry.

Some things... never seem to change.

oh...my.

; )

{Forever Grateful... to Sweetie, {Beloved... Pit Bull} for holding the basement door open for me.

I'd have most likely bled to death, hadn't she. <3

Grateful... for Peg's INSISTENCE, I "Get Up Those Stairs!!!", even tho... Peg, had passed away, two year's prior. Peg...was There, ordering me 'Up Those Stairs'.

<3}

The laundry, tonight, ought to be about ready to throw... in the dryer.

No worries, Wanda...

I've got this.

<3

{Love You }

Love to Ya...

Prayers, for All.
