Happy... Memorial Day.


Everything...has been so...
Insane, I completely...forgot what day it was, today...and yesterday.
Probably...a good thing.

We had a Huge...Memorial Day Weekend Sale...here, for years.
Friends, and Neighbor's would bring things...it was quite an event.
Since the Highway Construction...we've cancelled it, the last 3 years.

John, and I...couldn't visit Graves, over that weekend.
The above picture...was a year, or...two, before John left.
He, and I...were taking flowers to our Loved Ones...that day.
<3
It...was Such...a Beautiful...Day.

John, putting up The Flag.
He always did...on Memorial Day.
{That's about...the only time you'd see John, during The Sale.
: ) }
John...So Loved...his flags.
His...Country.
<3
{actually...the above image, was when John put The Flag Up...on a September 11th.
<3 }



The below images, are of our Granddaughter, Scarlett...
the year, after we lost John.
I bought this little, vintage Doll Dress, and...before I sold it, had Miss. Scarlett...
model it.
<3

I, wished...so, John...could've seen her, in it.
<3 <3 <3 
Wish...now, I never would've sold it.






Happy Memorial Day...to All.

Thank You...
to All, 
who have Sacrificed for Our Freedom.

Love to You.
Prayers, for All.

Going the Wrong Way - Planes, Trains & Automobiles (5/10) Movie CLIP (19...

Sometimes...ya just have to laugh.

Woke up this morning....
early.

The first thought...that came dancing through my mind...
was the above movie clip.
{I'd like to wonder Where...these thought's come from...
but...sadly, hahahaha...I don't have ta 'wonder'...much!!! 
hahahaha!!!} 

Had a Go Round...with a Fairfax City Council Woman, the other night.
oh dear.
oh...dear.
: )

The Movie Clip, above...
reminds me of Fairfax, City Hall...and IDOT District 6.

oh my.
5 years...of trying to tell them, show them...
'They're Going The Wrong Way'...
has...nearly done me in.

I, Thank God...this morning, for letting me see it all...
with a little...
Humor.

Priceless.
Priceless. 

Love to ya...

{Scroll down to the May 27th. post, and find the link...to view more images.}

I'll take more images, today.
: )
I'm kinda Fussy, when it comes to taking many pictures, before things are put together.
I remember...Years Ago...at Nashville, Heart of Country....
a woman came through the show...during set up, and asked if she could take pictures of our booth, thought it was cool.
: )
I was up on a ladder, the booth wasn't near...'set'.
I, said... "No way!"
Not until it's Done.
; )

My then, Show Partner...said...
"Do you know who that was?"
I, said... No. 
It was a very Prominent Person...from a Very...Prominent Magazine.

I, didn't care who it was.
No pictures...of half done....work.
; )

When we go into an Estate...
we clean, sort...and stage.
We use everything that's there, and, try to help it flow.
: )
Many times...like now...the Home, is also...for Sale.
We want to help Everything....Dance Together!!
Hahahaha!!
Sometimes...it's difficult.
Everything has to be out of drawers, cupboard's and storage areas, cleaned, priced, and...displayed.
{God... Help...Whomever has to Conduct 'My' Estate Sale!!! 
Holy Smokes!!! 
Yikes!!!
I'm looking around the dining room, as I write.
Oh My Lord!!!
Hahahaha!!!
{I...may have to do it myself, before I 'Go'...I, don't know anyone...who could Take This One....On!!! Hahahaha!!!  }

Thankfully...The Rabbit Hole, and doing Shows...
 has Taught me Much...about Vision, 
and squeezing 20 pounds of Sugar...into a 5 pound Bag!!
Hahahaha!!!
<3

Bill, is Much Better at taking images of single items, for estatesale.com, the link...in the below post.

With the Awesome Progress...I'll be getting more images...today.

Stay...Tuned!!!

Love to Ya...
Barb C.
