There's another GREAT Sale, actually, a few...in Crawfordsville, as well.
Don't know the addresses, but...Crawfordsville, is pretty small.
Follow The Signs!!

{Crawfordsville, is just North of Mt. Pleasant, Iowa...on Highway 218.
There's SALES Everywhere...throughout the area.
Charlie's Barn Sale...is about 18 miles, South of Mt. Pleasant, on 218.
The Old Thresher's Reunion is going on in Mt. Pleasant, through Labor Day.
That's a Wonderful Event! Dad, and I...never missed one.

There's a Fun Flea Market...at Iris City Antique Mall, on the West Edge of Mt. Pleasant.
Found some Fun...Stuff, There!!; ) }
Bonnie, Harpo...in the Yellow T, Pal, Dale...wearing the Ball Cap, and Bonnie, and Harpo's Kind Neighbor, and Friend...who helped them set up, are pictured above.

Harpo, and Bonnie reminded me of the time...many years ago...when Harpo took me for a Spin in his 1968 Red Corvette Convertible.
; )
He has two...and two Limos.
; )
He takes Bonnie 'Junkin'...in a Limo, often.

{Bonnie gave me a Sackful...of...FRESH Cucumbers, from her Garden!!

I sat there, with Bonnie, under her AMAZING...Massive....Silver Maple Tree,
munchin' on Cucumbers, as we got all caught up. ; ) <3 }
Thanks, So Much...to Pal, Dale...for doin' The Drivin', and helping Load, and Unload...when we got back, last night.

Charlie...keeps digging things out, there was a Bunch, 'New'...there, from last week.
Wow!
Charlie...has Got to be Exhausted.
oh...my.
; )
As I was shopping at Charlie's...
found the whisk broom, with it...was the Darling...little 1800's Child's Cup, with a Girl, and her Gaggle of Geese.
I looked at the tag...for a price,
it read,
"Save for Barb."
; )
That's Priceless.
That's...
Our Charlie.

Be Sure...and Stop Back, at Charlie's Barn Sale!!!

{Bonnie, lost her Husband, when she was in her late 40's, her Husband...was in his early 50's.
Bonnie, was told...she could never have children.
In her early 30's...she proved the Dr.'s Wrong.
; )
Bonnie raised their 6 Children, alone, after she lost her Husband.
Their youngest Son...was killed in a car accident, ten years after she lost her Husband.
That little Antique Shop,
'Pump in Path'...
carried them all, somehow.
; )
<3
I...tear up, when I think about her many struggles,
all of theirs.
<3
So WONDERFUL...to Share a little Time, with Bonnie, and Harpo, again.
<3}
