one step... at a time. {sometimes... only inches.... }

Thanks... to everyone who popped in... this weekend.

{Dave and Shelly...{Hoppy's in La Porte City, Iowa }

They... are such... Gifts.... <3 }

: )

It's quite an adventure...down the rabbit hole... these days... to say the least.

: )

I've been working... on things... here and there....

at a snails... pace.

I have been so sick.

Early last week... I came down with a nasty sinus infection....

now...

it's in my lungs.

I am so worn out... it's all I can do... to climb out of bed...in the morning.

I've had Friends... call... and... I don't even have the energy... to talk. 

For so long... my mind.... has kept me down....

 now.... my body.... betrays me. 

When I look around the rabbit hole....

I just want to cry.

There is so...much... to be done.... but... I don't have the energy..... to begin.

I've gotten to the point... that...I really don't care.

There's nothing I can do about it... anyway.

It is... what it is.

Thankfully... those who have come through... have been...Wonderful...

: )

Gifts...

Blessings.

The shop will be closed the 23rd, 24th, 25th and 26th....

I'll be at Junk Jubilee... at the Fairgrounds in Des. Moines.

See ya there....

: )

Love... to ya.

{It's Pouring... Rain... here... tonight.

It's so heavy.... it looks like Fog.

oh my.

bring it on....

In Iowa....

we say...

with the Blessed Spring... and Summer Rain....

"That's What Makes the Corn... Grow. : ) "

but...

to some...

in Iowa...

 It's just another...

 rainy...

foggy...

dreary...

 night.

but...

 tomorrow's  another... day.

and...

I'm thirsty.... anyway....

: )

so...

bring it...on. }

Ran across this bunch of papers.....
dated from the late 1700's to early 1800's.... this afternoon.
I put them in the Old Cherry Pewter Cupboard.... top.
It dates... from the same time period.
Thought... they'd have a lot... in common. : ) 

I was moving things around... this afternoon....
I LOVE.... the Red Winged Blackbird's Nests.... that Charlie's Farmer Friend gave me.
memories.
: )

Love these little footed Ice Cream servers.
They came from Michael's ... in Rochester.
