I was...Late...to Duwa's...Auction...{Naughty... : ) }

 

I flew...into the Auction...

Late...

Dwight...{the Auctioneer...} Stopped the Auction...to inform the Crowd...of my Tardiness...: )

oh my...

I had to stop enroute...and get meds...

{I thought about...not...stopping...and taking my chances...

then...I remembered...the Anamosa...Show...

I Have...to Breathe....

DANG!!!}

My Lungs...are giving me Fits!

I have a Nasty Cold...

and...of course...it has settled..in my Lungs...

thought...tho...it made me Late...I'd be a better bidder...if I could...Breathe!

It was a Lovely...Day!

Saw soooo many Friends...: )

and...came home...with some very....Gnarly...Unusual....Treasures....

{More images...in the Morn..: ) }

I spent most of the Day...outside... with the Grungy Farm...stuff...

but...snuck inside...just in time...to buy the Beautiful...Old...Old...

Sunflower Candelabras...

{oh my...Love...Them!}

Thanks...Soooo Much...to Dwight and Junell...for calling yesterday...to let me know...about this Auction...: )

I tried to buy it...to no avail....it sold with a Group of things... the winning bidder wanted something else...in the pile...and was willing to pay...more for that item...I didn't see who bought the pile...it was in...but while visiting with Lynn...and another Gentleman...I said...how sorry I was...I had not gotten the Wind Mill...Weight...{counter balance}.... Lo...and Behold...the Gentleman...had...bought it...from the top bidder...and...Sold It To Me!!!! YAY!!!!!
I Love...Anything...with IOWA on it!!!
