Turn... The Page.
This... Day, didn't go as planned, either.
{I'm... Not, Not... Not... a Cat Herder. : ) }
Won't get into Details, but...
am
Grateful.
because...
this down time, today...
gave me a chance to go through
Images.
Over 4,000 images.
Didn't get through each, and every single one, yet.
I...
Will.
Thought my phone, had lost... many, when it went down a few months ago.
: (
turns out...
The Images were Saved...
<3
Priceless.
<3
The above image... was captured, as I sat at my laptop, in our Kitchen.
Long, Long... ago.
I'd just learned... of a Young Man's... {Kid} who was a Friend of our Son's...
Mother, being killed... while turning into her driveway..
by, someone....
I'd heard, was texting, instead of driving.

Herdin' Cats.
'Herding...
Cats'.
; )
That's the way This Day, has felt.
Seems, trying to get Folks All on One Schedule, well...
: )
is, pretty much like...
Herding Cats!
: )
This Day, didn't go anywhere close to
'As Planned'.
so....
threw in the towel a bit early.
: )
As Scarlett, said...
{Gone With The Wind}
"I'll think about that tomorrow...
after all,
Tomorrow Is....
Another Day."
; )
Indeed.
Dear... Minnesota Pal, Rhonda {Douglas}...

Cracked Me Up!!

Had to send it on to Dear Friend, Gail.

Seems, more and more...
speakin' for myself,
; )
those...
'Whatever'
thoughts
come
Easier... and Easier.
; )
oh... dear.
Rhonda... posted the one above, too, today.
<3
{I've been Blessed to meet some Very Cool Folks over this 'Old Souls' Journey.
Antiques... and 'Junk'. : ) <3}
<3
Had to cancel the Road Trip... with Pal, Allyson... and Friends, tomorrow.
Way Too Much... yet, to 'Button Up'.
Waaaaaay Too Many Cat's to Herd!!
GADS!!

Southern Iowa... Kelly, who I bought the Huge Load from, yesterday...
texted me this morning... bright and early, wondering if we'd made it Home.
: )
I should've let Kelly know, last night.
Thanked Kelly, and his 'Crew'... for Their Help.
<3
Assured Kelly,
Thanks to Him, and those Extra Ratchets, The Ford was Still...
Loaded Tight as a Drum at Home, in the drive.
: )
{That Ford... Could Fly to The Moon, The Way Kelly, and His Family.... Stacked... Racked... Packed, and...
Tied Down.
: )
Not... any of our 'First Rodeo's Loadin' a Truck.}
Dear Lord.
; )
Chicago... Ray, called this morning.
Had a Long Chat.
: )
Received a message from Lawyer, Josey Wales, this morning.
as well.
{Charles Meardon}
Josey Wales, has Top Priority... when the phone rings.
or... a text is received.
'The Rule of Law'
Everyone I know, 'Right/Left'...
Understands that.

They'd Better, because...
if...
'The Rule of Law' is Lost,
So...
is America, and...
'Freedom'.
Love to Ya...
Prayers for All.

Poor Dale, was Wrapped in a Fabulous Early...
Room Size... Vintage Rug.

had enough room, to Grab Gears, and Shift The Ford.

We Had Great Fun...
Diggin'!

Teeny... Tiny... Snippets of The 'Honey Hole'.
; )
Oh... my.
; )
I remember... John telling me Years ago...
when I'd come Rollin' in at Home, with a 'Load',
all he could say... while smokin' a Lucky, and shaking his head...
as me, and The Ford rounded the West Cemetery Road, and... Stallman Drive corner,
"The Gypsy's Home."
Hahahahahahahahahahaha!!!

<3
Indeed.

Love to Ya...
Prayers for All.
