Respect.

Started this day...off, trimmin' and cutting brush.

Knew I had to get 'A' Tent...up, today, for this weekend's 'Pop Up Sale'.

; )

It's been a long time, since I've had to put tents up.

IDOT, and Fairfax...put the end to that, three years ago.

I, never had much of a part in actually 'setting' the Tents.

{John, Mark, and Friends...were 'The Masters'. }

; )

 Tents...are like....

Tangled Christmas Lights, Tangled Fishing Line...Tangled Jewelry, and...Threading a Sewing Machine.

; )

Barbara...has No Patience for Any Of It.

oh my.

; )

Hahahahaha!!!

I'll Bust My Ass...on MUCH, but...The Lord Knows, putting these 'Puzzles' together, isn't my Long Suit.

{YIKES!!}

We had four Tents...

the derecho took one, Liz...and Adam. took another.

A Storm, several years ago...took most, of another.

Now...trying to figure out, which pieces, are Parts, which...actually...belong, oh my.

hahahahaha...

; )

Yeah.

and...trying to figure out, now...

after The Wrongful Encroachment,

 for Fairfax's Suicide Trail... 

where, 

to find a flat...piece of land, here...

to Place 'one'...is a challenge in itself.

Seems we were missing some pieces, hunted all over for them.

Don't know why, but...thought I'd check the enclosed Trailer.

Maybe...the Boys, slipped a tote of the tent's fittings there.

??? 

I was storing the Masses, of Beautiful...Chandeliers, from Chicago Ray's...last Drop, inside.

Oh...My Lord.

I CRIED...

when I saw, what They'd Shoved...in That Trailer.

ON TOP OF NEARLY 20 AMAZING...

FRAGILE...

CHANDELIERS.

The Chandeliers...

are, were...

all, Carefully...Wrapped, and Bagged, in those black bags.

oh my.

{La Julia's...Chandeliers, Far...better Protected, than when Chicago Ray delivered them, or...so I thought they'd be. : ( }

The Boys...

somehow...

seem to think, 

'Mama's Junk'...

isn't important.

; )

uh...oh.

Hahahahahahahahaha!!!!

Uh...

Oh.

{I Cried, and Cried...when I found 'This'.

It was, and Is... a 'Hell's Comin' To Breakfast'...

moment. 

These Boys...All Knew Better.

; )

The word....

'Disappointment' 

won't 

Touch 

this one. }

Helper, Brandon...and me, after putting pieces together...

Over, and Over...and, Over...again, finally...got the last remaining 'Tent'...figured out.

{Thanks, Mark...for helping us, over the phone. ; ) }

It was Hot....I, was Hot.

In More Ways...

than, most could Ever...understand.

oh my.

; )

ZING!!!!!

ZING!!!!

; )

Here's the Deal.

This 'Old Junk'...

 Pays

 The Bills...

 around

 Here.

Has For Years.

It's EARNED Some 

'ROOM' 

and...

RESPECT.

Period.

; )

Love to Ya...

Prayers, for All.
