Marion didn't get it completely... finished, but... doesn't matter.
It's So Fun!!

So... Cool.

Seems, like Always, Things, at the End, at Marion's kept climbing out of the Woodwork!!}

Had to play 'Dancing in The Moonlight'... tonight.

Reminds me of 'The Fall Harvest Sales' of 'Yesterday'.

Oh.... Dear.

The Moon, was Very Pretty, driving Home, tonight... from Marion's.
Beautiful.


Updated 9/22
Evening.


Marion's Beautiful... Back Yard.
: )
Marion... had All Sorts of 'Concrete' behind her Home.
We felt... it would be too difficult for some Folks, to get to... so, this afternoon, Bill, and me...
took it all Up, to the Front.
; )
It was so Hot.
Bill said, "It's so 'moist' out."
Hahahahahaha!!!
I, said... "Ya mean, 'Sultry'???"
: )
Hahahahaha!
{we were, as Mom...would say... 'Sweatin' like Butchers'!!}
We both Burst out Laughing!!
We both Love the Movie, 'Throw Mama from The Train'.
: )
Told Bill... it felt like 'Tornado' weather, to me.
{When Ya live in the Midwest, you pick up on that 'Feeling', pretty... easy.}

Sure enough, as soon as we set the last Concrete Bench, the Sirens went off.
They went off several times as we worked this late afternoon.

Hope Everyone is OK.
<3



Brought up these Old...Old, Moss Covered Grinding Stones, from Marion's Back Yard.
: )
They... were kinda buried...
but, we Got 'em!
; )


Finished The Sun Porch, this Evening.


Marion has some Beautiful... Wicker.
<3

Love the little Folk Art Train.
<3
It came from Tom, and Paula... Van Deest, back in 'The Day'.
: )
<3

We keep Finding More, and More.
Oh...
My.
Stayed as long as I could... tonight.
Gettin' over a 'Bug', so... not gonna push too hard.
: )
Stay Tuned!!

{Over the last few days... have also, read many, many... many 'Hundred's' of 'Public Records',
 delivered from the Corridor MPO, requested by our Lawyer,
 Chuck Meardon. 
{Meardon, Sueppel & Downer P.L.C.  Iowa City, Iowa.}
{The Very Best}
 
Grateful... the City of Cedar Rapids... and the MPO, didn't charge us, like Fairfax, and Fairfax's hired Lawyer did, for theirs.
Fairfax... if, I recall, charged us around 1200. for 'Their' Public 'records'.
Cedar Rapids, and The MPO charged us, 30. for Theirs.
Thirty. Dollars.
What the 'Public' can actually...
 'afford'... To pay, 
to...
 'See'.
{Didn't take 'Months'... to get them, from Cedar Rapids, either.
 Cedar Rapids, got them to us... quickly.}

 Hand delivered the 30. check, to The Cedar Rapids City Attorney,
 before I went to Marion's to work, today. 
Thanked Her.
: ) 

Wow.

{This... is for those, who have followed our 
'Fairfax, Iowa, City Hall'... 
and, the 'Iowa Department of Transportation'... 
'Journey', 
over the last seven years. 
'Wrongfulness'.... in my opinion. }
