What Cheer.... oh my....

 

oh my...

Just got home...from setting up...at What Cheer...

Liz...and Miss. Scarlett....{who was feeling Much Better!}

 insisted...on bringing The Ford...

We arrived in the early afternoon....

it was...Beautiful...out...

but...as the day went on...

The Wind...

began to Howl!!!

I Mean...HOWL!!!!

{I watched a Ken Burns Documentary...last night...about the 'Dust Bowl'...

I felt....like...I was Living It...Today....}

We are in a building....that is open...on all sides...

with a roof....

Liz and I...framed up a wall... and covered it...in heavy plastic...

That...didn't last long....

The Wind....

The Howling....Wind!

Then...Lynn and Lea... showed up....

{ I had visited with them...earlier... said if...they were headed What Cheer....way... bring a Drill....

Mine...Died... and no electricity to recharge...: ( }

They helped us unload...and run more boards...and plastic....

oh my...

Then... I decided...when we were getting ready to head home...to block the North Wind... with the Box Truck....

Snug him in...Tight....to the overhang.... at the front of our booth....

I Jacked the Truck in...Tight....

but...after doing so... I found...the Truck...stuck out...a bit too far... into traffic....

so...thought... I'd better move it....

but... The Truck... had dropped into a rut... and...I couldn't get away...from the building... without hitting the Gutter...

{I had it...TIGHT!!!

Yes...I was in a VERY Tight...Spot!!!!}

I called Lynn... and said..."WHERE ARE YOU????"

I knew... I was going to have to have someone...on the ground...

with...'Truck'... experience... guiding me....

{I couldn't see the entire top of the Box...in my Mirror...}

Just then...my neighbor... walked up...I asked him...if he...could guide me...

{It was funny... He was pushing...on the side...of the Heavy...Monster Truck...

Trying...to open the sliver of a Gap... at the top...

I suppose... it's one's first instinct...

It...Didn't...Move...: ) }

But...we... inch by fraction...of an inch.... got it out...

Everything...Unscathed...: )

oh my..

I...Miss. Scarlett...and Liz... are Covered in GRIT!

I just took a sip...of The Queen's...Wine...

and...I feel Grit... on my Lips...

In my teeth...

oh my...

All the Furniture...is Covered...in Fine...What Cheer... Dust...

oh my...

oh...my...

Liz...reminded me... on the way home... {She was Squeezed into the Tiny Back...of the Ford...That is...Loaded...with Stuff! } so Scarlett could be in her car seat...}of the statement...she had made...as we were loading... this morn...

"When You Die....I'm NOT doing...This!!!"...

: )

I feel...very Guilty...about leaving...my Old...Soulfulness... to fend for itself....

at What Cheer...

so much so...

I told...Liz... I should just keep the Old Corner Cupboard...it deserves...Better....

I bought...a Great...Walnut Fireplace Mantle...and a Darling...Early....little 5 Drawer piece...

{The Drawers...are all hand dovetailed... LOVE IT!}

and...some other...Sweet... Dibby Dabbies...: )

The Booth....is in a Pile...

I'll deal with it...in the morn...

All...in All...

It Really...was... a FUN Day!

and...yes...

I...am... CRAZY!

and... so...VERY... BLESSED!!!

: )

Love to Ya!

Barb C.

{There are a Lot...of Folks...set up...at What Cheer.... Lots of Great...Stuff!!! }

I'll have images...tomorrow.... WAY to...Crazy...Today!

 

I sampled this wine... yesterday... at Frond Design Studio...
{She Carries...some...Amazing...Wine!}
Holy Smokes... Love It...
The Proprietor... Stephanie... said...it was The Queen's Choice...
for her
Diamond Jubilee...
It's a White...French Wine....
I thought...
"If it's good enough...for the Queen...."
: )
I bought two bottles...
and...
Cracked...one... Tonight....
Here's To Ya...
: )
{Who would have thought...while attending The Queen's Diamond Jubilee....sipping...this wonderful Wine...
that...someday... some Crazy Woman...in Iowa... Covered...in Grit...
{Inside...and Out...
My nose feels...like I've been Snorting Concrete Dust...all day...}
after...being Blown...Away... in a Dust Bowl...
All Sweaty... and Dirty.... after
Loading...Unloading... Old Trucks....
would...also... be enjoying...the very same...Wine...: )
I doubt...they could have...enjoyed it...then...any more...than I do...this...very...moment...}
Life...Is...Good... : )
{I just pulled my Pink High Tops...off...
and they went...
'POOOOOF!"...
Dust...Rolled...off of my pants....and Shoes....
oh my...
: )
What Cheer...is a Great...Time...Amazing...Finds...
and...
a lot...of...Dust...
but...
It's Worth It!
: ) }
