oh....my.

Some things....

simply, make me Smile.

: )

See the Big Chandeliers.....

hanging, precariously....in the booth, at Nashville.

: )

<3

{Just above, the Beautiful...Settee, John covered in Tin. <3 <3 <3 }

I bought those, from Pal, Val....back in 2012.

We had such a Lovely Day, that day.

: )

I'm pretty good, at 'Haulin' a Load.

Knock on Wood....

I've Never...Lost Anything, goin' down the road.

I, tie... and strap...and, Strap....and, Strap!!

Dad, taught me, that.

: )

However....on the day I bought the Chandeliers, from Val....

ALL....I had to load, that day, were the two, old...heavy, Chandeliers.

I, thought...."I don't need to strap those in. "

After all...I was only going a few miles, on...the highway.

Where could they Possibly...Go??? : )

They, are Heavy, and...the wind will blow right through them.

: )

No Worries!

I put them up close to the cab, on the Flatbed.

; )

THIS...

is how One, was Hanging...when I pulled in, at Home!!!

HOLY MONKEYS!!!

I have No Idea....how Far, that Old...Chandelier rode, hooked to the Side of The Ford!!

I...about....Fell Over, when I stepped out of the Truck!!

Needless to say, EVERYTHING....

Gets Tied and Strapped.

I don't care if it's a Bag of Groceries!!!

It Gets Tied IN!!

No Shortcuts!!!

Oh My!!!

I sold, one of the Beautiful, Chicago Hotel....Chandeliers...at Heart of Country, that year.

The other, sold here, at Home...to Pal, Steph!

; )

I'd forgotten all about them, but, Never The Lesson Learned, until about a month ago.

While visiting Steph's new Store, I saw...the Old...Chandelier.

She'd used it at many Fabric Shows, as a Prop....and, was going to display it in her new 

Building.

It was priced, so....

I, bought it back.

: )

<3 

Too many 'Memories', to let it Slip...away.

: )

Everything...

has a 'Story'.

<3

It's All...

about 'The Journey'.

<3

Pal, Steph....and her Daughter, are still....stranded in Colorado.

: ( : ( : ( 

I'm so Angry....about this entire situation, I could Spit!

She was put in Harm's Way.... Wrongly.

I, can't get in to it all, now....

but, oh my.

I've done all I can.

Keep her in your Prayers. 

<3

'The Journey'....is a Wonderful Tutor. 

; )

Love...to ya.

{As I think of the conversations, Steph...and I, have had...since Saturday,

it makes me think....of 'Dueling Banjos'. ; ) 

Hahahahaha!!!

oh...my.
