Luckenbach, Texas (Back to the Basics of Love) (American Outlaws: Live a...

Free Hand.


Oh my...
; )
Quite a Day.
; )

Blogger is Messin' with the format.
Has been for a few days.
: )
I... like everything
 'Centered'.
; )
Blogger.... is Fightin' me with that.
: )



Buried in Book Work.
; )
Helpin' a Pal, do His... as well.
Oh Boy!!!
: ) : ) : )
GADS!!
I'd Do Anything.. for my Pal's...
but...
'book work'.
: )
oh...dear.



Thankfully, Dear Friend's have Volunteered to help my Pal, next year.
Praise God!!
<3
Hahahahaha!!!

I'm so buried... in the IDOT/Fairfax Mess, 
it's difficult to see the light of day.
They're always.... workin' on me.
: (

Took a break, from The Books, and walked around the house, a bit ago.
<3
So Love...
the Civil War era Currier and Ives Prints.
<3
They depict a simpler time of life.
<3
Can't imagine, they truly were, back then,
but...
maybe,
in different ways.

Son, Justin... gave me the above print, for Christmas....
many years ago.
<3

The Civil War... 'era' prints, were all 'hand colored'.
There was a system to the hand coloring.
People... who were Elderly, Disabled...or... Children, who couldn't otherwise work, could sit...
with a paintbrush, and one color.
As the prints came down the line...
they'd hand paint their color.
<3

You can always tell... the much later reproductions from the early... 'prints'.
'Perfection'...
can be easily duplicated, in these modern days,
but...
A Free Hand,
 cannot.
; )

Love to Ya...
Prayers, for All.

 The Law, and Our Constitution are Gold. 
<3
We Must Protect Them.
<3
{even tho... ; ) oh my. : ) }

Without 'Law'... Where would 'We'...  Be???
Without..
'Freedom of The Press'...
{I couldn't be writing this, now.}
think about it.
; )
We All... need to 'think'.
in my opinion.

Keep on The Sunny Side of Life!!


Oh My Goodness.
Don't Know WHAT made me think of this Image today.
well...
yeah, I do.
: )

There's So Much Stress... and Crap, coming at us all, every day, these days...
but, 
at the end of the day...
There's Always gonna be stress, and crap.
; )

Mom had a Very Difficult life, but....
Mom Always had a Song in her Heart.
<3
She and I... were singing songs just a few hours before she went 'Home'.
<3

Mom, and Dad... lived through The Great Depression.
They... lived through the Second World War.
The 'Big One'.
'We' haven't seen a thimbleful of what They did, and Endured... yet.

There's Always, Always...
Something, and Someone...
to
Be
Grateful
For.
<3

There's Always.... a Reason, 
to 
Jump Up On a Picnic Table...
and
Dance!!!
: ) : ) : )
Always!!!
<3

What a Woman...
Indeed!!
<3
I Miss Her!!
: )

Mom was Most Definitely a Pistol, at times.
She had the Most Wonderful Laugh, and...
Laughed, often.
: )
yes...
Dynamite...
 Truly Does....
come in
small packages.
; )

Mom stood a wisp over 5 feet tall, but...
What a Woman!!
<3
Holy Smokes!!
<3

 So Incredibly Grateful for the Parents I was Blessed to Have.
<3

Love to Ya...

Worrisome Heart

Crazy.... Day.



Foggy Mornin'!!

Had to be UP Early... this morning, to grab the key for Justin's Shop.
: )
70 miles... to grab a little key.
GADS!!
Friends, Jack... and Randy, were meeting me early
 this morning to pick up the Italian Mirror.
Had a miscommunication with the 'Justins', concerning... 'the key'. 
: )
The GREAT News...
Got to see Justin 'J'...
Romeo...
and Gizzy!!
: )
<3
Those Three Boys are Inseparable!!!
<3 <3 <3 


There's a Beautiful little Cemetery near Justin's Home.
<3


It looked so Gnarly... this early Morn... with the dense Fog.
: )

Don't like driving in Fog.
Especially.... when I'm a little 'Foggy', myself.
A little too much Vino, last night... and not Near Enough Sleep!!
GADS!!!
: )

Mark didn't show up yesterday, to get the books done.
I was Worried Sick about Him!!
Holy Smokes!!

Mark had a Spell... just before Christmas.
He collapsed at his Pool Hall, for no apparent reason.
Gratefully, a Friend was there, shooting Pool, and found him.
Praise God!!
He Brought Mark... back to Life.
<3
So... when he didn't return my calls, or texts... 
got a hold of his Daughters, they found Mark... and he was Fine!!
: )
then...
I Wanted To Kick His Fanny!!
: )
He was at The Legion, visiting with Neighbors.... where there was no reception.
GADS!!
; )
All I could think of, was Brother...Larry.
: (
Larry lived alone, we talked every couple of weeks.
His Girls live in other States, so... when he wouldn't answer them, they'd call me to go check on him.
: )
The last time they couldn't reach Larry, they called my Brother in Law.
He found Larry, deceased .
: (.....
Heartbreaking.
: (.....

Needless to say, I was very Frantic, when none of us could reach Mark, last night.

Mark came by... a bit ago, we got the Books done.
and...
I reminded Mark... as he was leaving,
To Answer His Damn Phone...
and Check His Damn Messages, once in a while!!!
and...  We Love Him!!!
: )
<3

Meeting with Pal, Steph...and her Beautiful Daughter, Paige, for Supper, in a bit.
; )
We Need Some Greasy Food!!!
Hahahahaha!!

Love to Ya...
Prayers for All.

Barb C.
Paige... and Steph.
<3
We Found some Amazing Food.
; )
Took the Biggest Share Home... with us.
: )
{Bully's Angle Inn, Walford, Iowa.}
<3

We had a Lovely Visit!!
; )

As we were leaving, Steph walked me to Sally.
Steph said...
"SALLY!!! You're Driving 'Sally'!!!"
she went on, and said...
"One of my Favorite Memories, was when you picked me up... in Sally, with her top down... and had Melody Gardot playing. That Was The BEST Day!!"
Then... Steph started singing 'Worrisome Heart'.
; )
She said... "I don't remember the name of the song, but I remember That Tune!! "
<3
: )

Oh my...
That, was a Lifetime ago.
Wow.
{2012... maybe. Time Flies.}
Daughter, Liz... had turned me on to Gardot.
Her voice is like Velvet.
: )
Liz, and Steph... are both Incredible Artists, that have Amazing Ears...
for Music.
: )
<3

If I recall... I called Steph, or... she called me, while I was toolin' around in Sally.
Tryin' to Clear my Head, most likely.
; )
Steph... was Wound for Sound, so... I whipped Sally in, at her house that day... 
picked her up.
Sally DROVE Our Cares Away... 
for awhile. 
; )
Sometimes... that's all ya need.
Just... a little 'escape'.
: )
{Sally...with her top down, lets All of the Stress Go Straight Out of The Top of Your Head.
; )
Great Music... is also a Must!!}
; )

Paid 3500. for Sally, in 2010, maybe? 
{Time Flies.}
Quit smokin' for a couple of years, and saved my Stogie Dough, for a Mustang.
: )
There were Three Things, Swore... I would Never Have, in the Mustang, I was saving for.
1. It Can't be the color Silver.
2. It Can't have an Automatic Transmission.
3. It Can't be a Convertible.
: )
Hahahahahahaha!!!
Took Our Peg, with me... when I went to look at 'Sally'.
Told Peg, on the way... 
"If This Mustang isn't 'Cute'.... That's It!!
 It's Got Three Major Strikes Against It!!"
{but... the Price was Very Good. : )}

As we turned the corner, and saw Sally sitting in front of Friend, Don's... then... Antique Shop, in Amana...
{Sally was his Daughter's Car.}
I looked at Peg, and said...
"Oh My Gosh...Peg!!! She's Adorable!!!"
<3
Peg Agreed!!
<3


Sally's a 2001.
<3
Best 3500. I've ever spent.
She's Quite... The Therapist.
; )

Sally... Our Peg, and Pal, Amy.
<3 <3 <3 
Peg was battling cancer at that time.
That Day... was a Good Day.
A Very Great Day.
<3
Here's another.

yeah...
Best 3500. I ever spent.
: )


IDOT and Fairfax, are tuff,
but, cancer Beats Them Hands Down.
They... can Take That, to The Bank, 'we're All' paying for.
Bless their hearts.
; )

Outta Hand.

Spent Yesterday...
Cleanin' the House.
; )
It's gotten a bit...
 'Outta Hand'.
: )
oh dear. 
: )
Sure Wish I could get those Freeloadin' Spider's to Do Their Part!!
: )
{I'm guessin' They Know, what a 'Soft' Home...
we live in.
: )
Little Sh!ts!!
Too Cold to scoop 'em up...and put 'em outside.}

{Bless Their Hearts.}
<3
This is a 'Soft Home' to Critters, and God's 'little' Creatures.
; )

'Humans'...
on the other hand...
: )
well...
'bless their heart's'... too.
; )

After Cleaning...
Draggin' the Vac... for what seemed like Miles...
didn't have much Time, for 'images'.
; )
Looked back on Memories, 
from yesterday then decided to take Sally for a Stroll.

Sally was Buried... until day before yesterday.
Couldn't get Any of our Ford Family Out.
{Sally was blocking The Ford, in the drive. 
She Could NEVER get Over of the Mountains.}
We were Plowed In, by Fairfax's Now....
'Bike/Pedestrian/ATV/Snowmobile'
Trail.
Those Snowmobiles... were Runnin' FAST...
on Fairfax's Trail... along 151 in front of our Home...
that, by the way... 
Ought Not Be... 
According to Our 'Recorded Agreement' 
with...
The Iowa Department of Transportation.

Our Kids... ride Snowmobiles.
<3
People, drove through our property, 'Before'.
but...
Not Like This.
: (
It's Like a Racetrack, here...now.
: (
I'll bet they were doin' 80 miles an hour.
Mark my words...
Somebody's gonna get hurt.
: (
or worse.
: (.....
{I'll try and capture a video, next time. 
They were movin' so Fast.... didn't have time to get my phone out.
Might have to invest in a Trail Cam!!
'Fairfax Bike/Pedestrian/ATV/Snowmobile'
Trail Cam.
 to
 Think...
 they All Kept Sayin'...
when I asked Them All..
Repeatedly....
{IDOT and Fairfax...}
"There Is No Trail."
until...
 it was nearly 
Built.
Pretty difficult to deny it, then.
: (

''

Justin plowed the snow back from the drive, where the Snowmobile people plowed the Trail's snow, on us.


Water is already ponding.



More ponding on our property, where it never did before IDOT's Fairfax Trail Accommodations.

The Elevation...and Encroachment... is a Problem.
Water simply does not run uphill.


I'm the only one... on 151 that didn't get a concrete driveway, when IDOT came through with this last 'Project'.
They put in this Horrible... Soft, Loose Rock, that's a Mess... every time Justin plows.
{Yes... They are Aware of It.}
We have to rake it up... Extremely Well, before we mow.
The mower throws rocks into the highway, or our Home.

Even my Neighbor's... who had gravel drives, before... got concrete from IDOT, with the last 'Project'.

I remember when a Worker from IDOT District 6 told me...
"If you wouldn't have gotten a 'Lawyer' involved, we might have been 'nicer' to you."
{To think, at First... I really liked him. : (}
I just stood there, looking at him, and said...
"I sure Hope You... Never have to go through Condemnation.
{He lives on Highway 30. It Could Easily Happen.}
If You Do... Even...You, Had Better Have a 'Lawyer'.
I wouldn't even 'Wish' 'This'... on You."
: (

{This was our Second Condemnation by IDOT.
 Headin' for a Third, with The City of Fairfax, soon.
{IDOT is helping The City Finance their 'Project'.}
'Death by a Thousand Cuts'.}

Lawyer Meardon filed papers... in Linn County, recently.
That's Some Very Interesting 'Reading'.
Wow...
Wow.

We're heading to
 Trial.
Jury
 Trial.
Stay tuned.



That's a Fact.

Was just talking to my Pal... yesterday, who's 
Finally, Finally...
Living Her 'Fairy Tale',
 about the above.
: )
<3
then... it popped up on 
'Memories'.
: )
My Pal... has Never Known the Above.
: (
until...
NOW!!
<3
So Happy For Them Both!!
: ) : ) : )
Told her... should something happen, and this 'Whirlwind'... 
not work out, at LEAST She's Finally Known how Wonderful it is to
'Click'...
with Someone.
<3
{They met in High School. 
Now, nearly... 40 years later,
They 'Met'...
Again!!}
<3


Love to Ya...
Prayers for All.

Livin' The Dream.



I've been trying to write this post... about Anamosa, for two days.
: )
Day before yesterday...
the phone was Mighty Busy.
; )
One of my Favorite Calls, came in Tuesday evening, just as I was beginning to write.
A Dear Friend, is 'Living The Dream'...
 Finally.
Finally.
<3
: )
I wanted to hear Every Single Detail.
<3
: ) : ) : )
When ya have a Dear Friend, {Family} that... you've watched Struggle, always...
Oh My Lord...
: (
then...
To See Them...
 Hear Them...
 'Happy'... 
is
 Such an Incredible 'High'!!!
<3
; ) ; ) ; )

My Friend's 'Story'... should have a Movie made around it.
: )
<3


The Anamosa Antique & Vintage Market...
was
Amazing!!!
: )
Not even Close to one of my best shows, there...
Many Did Great...
Some Didn't.
; )
{Sometime's You're The Windshield...
Sometime's....
You're The BUG!!}
; )
The Gate... was GREAT!!!
; )
The Vendor's Were Amazing!!!
as, Always!!
: )

Had two last minute cancellations.
Pal, Gayle... called me as I was driving to Anamosa, with The Boys, Friday afternoon.
Grandson, Justin... and Pal, Bobby.
: )
Gayle... was Sobbing, when she called.
: (
She Blew her Knee Out, shoveling snow.
: (
Gayle has went through Much Therapy with that knee, trying to save it from surgery.
Had it under control... until this snow.
: (....

Then, Long Time Vendor, Larry... called.
He'd just gotten out of the Hospital. 
Larry Was Still Planning to come, but... his Dr. said...
"Larry.... NO WAY!!"
: )
{trust me, Larry Still Struggled about not coming to Anamosa. <3}
: )
I, told Larry... to STAY PUT, and... We'll See Him in 2025!!
; )

Then we had to Lean on The Amazing Anamosa Vendors... who were 'Able' to Make The Show.
<3
Pal, Mark... Had It All on His Plate, to Fill.. and Spread.
The Vendors...
'Family'
All Stepped Up!!
<3 <3 <3 


Tony has An Amazing Collection of GREAT Stuff!!
Coins... Marbles... Toys...
Just an Incredible Amount of Diversity!!
WOW!!
; )




Zane...
What an AMAZING Artist!!
; )
Zane's Creations, were The Talk of Anamosa!!!
: )

Everyone Totally Rocked!!
They Brought Such Amazing Treasures!!
<3


The Beautiful... Italian Hall Mirror, Chicago Ray... brought me, didn't sell during the Show.
I sold it over the phone, before we loaded it, to a Dear Friend.
<3
Then, Sold It... Again, Tuesday... before I had a chance to deliver it, 
to another Friend, who was chewing on it... at Anamosa, for the Dear Friend.
; )
{try and follow That. : ) }
He called me Tuesday, made the Deal. He's picking it up Saturday.
: ) : ) : )
Priceless!!
<3



It was a LONG Sunday at Anamosa.
<3
Beautiful..
Sunday.
<3

So Grateful.

'Considering'
EVERYTHING!!
It Turned out Great!!
; )

I was worried all Sunday morning at Anamosa about the Truckasaurus.
 Knew Son, Justin... was going to be working on it, Sunday.
but...
was concerned about 'What' the problem was.
Thought I might be Campin' at Anamosa.
: )
 Finally broke down...and called Justin, to get the verdict, around 1:30.
He said... "It's Runnin'. Started Right Up... for me."
; )
I said...
"It Did NOT!!"
: ) : ) : )
he said...
"Yeah it did."
; )
Then he said he had to reset the Code for the Security on the FOB.
"Yeah...." I said.
It was that Damned FOB.
Then he said...
"No... I reset it After it Started."
I... said...
"You Did Not!!!"
Hahahahahaha!!!
: ) : ) : )
{Justin is a little Mischievous at Times. 
: ) 
He was born on St. Patrick's Day. 
He's a LOT Irish...
and, 'Shenanigans'... 
have Always Come Rather Easy, to Him!! : ) }

{I Screwed around with that Truck... and FOB, for Two Hours in the Sub Zero Temps...
He'll Never Convince me... it wasn't because of that Frozen FOB!! }
: ) : ) : ) 

Learned something New, and was reminded of something Old.
The New...
'FOBS shouldn't Deep, Deep... Freeze.'
The Old...
'Computer BS, and Devices that were created to make our lives easier...
Don't...
Always'.

It wasn't me leaving on the dome light...after all.

Was telling Pal, Bill...
I used to drive a Trans Am.... that I lost the key for.
John pulled the ignition switch out... and, I used a straight screwdriver to start it, there after.
: )
It's a 1975 model.
No Computer Security Crap.
No Worries about losing another Key, either.
: )
Could somebody have stolen it...
probably...
if they had a straight screwdriver in their pocket, and knew how to use it.
: )

The Boys came with the Truckasaurus, we got everyone out...
and us.
Long.... Weekend.
Oh...
My!!
: )

Me, and Pal... Mark are Still recuperating.

So Grateful to Everyone Who Shopped!!
We had Five New Vendors...
They Were GREAT!!
Each of them said... how Much they liked The Customers!!
Everyone was So Nice!!
: )
It's a Fact!!
We have The Best Vendors...
{Family}
and...
The Best Shoppers!!
{Friends & Family!!}
It's a Very Special... Event.
<3
; )
Grateful...to All of The Wonderful Shops, and Friends... 
who Shared The Anamosa Market!!
again...
It Takes a Village.
; )
<3
Grateful to 'Chelsey's Dream Foundation' for preparing
FABULOUS 
Comfort Food!!!
; )
Those Hot Turkey and Dressing Sandwiches are
THE BOMB!!
They had over a Dozen Selections of Homemade Pies, and Deserts!!
GADS!!!
<3

Mark and I are going to get The Books done, tomorrow.
He had Horrible Luck coming Home from Anamosa.
: ( : ( : (
Blew a tire on one of their vehicles.
His trailer lights wouldn't work.
Mark tried to get it home... by having his Daughter, Kelsey... follow him, 
{before her tire blew}
got pulled over, before they got out of Anamosa, had to leave the trailer sit in a big parking lot.
: ( : ( : (
{at least the Officer didn't fine Mark. : ) }

These 'Events'... are Quite a Ride.
; )
{Last year, Kelsey rolled the truck she was driving home from Anamosa.
: ( : ( : (
She wasn't injured, Gratefully... but, the truck was totaled.}

Yep...
We're All...
Livin' The Dream!!!
Hahahahahahaha!!!!
; )


Ran across the below, today.
Oh Dear!!!

This is what Happens... when I 'Play' down The Rabbit Hole.
{and... when I deep clean, and rearrange my bedroom, : )}
Often...
get a little 'Sidetracked' with
 'Memories'...
and
 'Old Souls'.
: )
TROUBLE!!!
Hahahahahaha!!!!

Oh My.

Love to Ya...
Prayers for All.

You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet

Anamosa Antique & Vintage Market '24... is History.


I'll be writing all about it, tomorrow.
: )

Tonight...
I feel like a 'Bag of Bones'.
: ) : ) : )
Pulled in, just a bit ago.
Sat down...
and poured myself  a toddy.
: )
Was thinking back... on the time, Pal...Steph, went with... to Heart of Country, in Nashville.
We shared a booth.
I'd been there many times, but Steph had never been.
It was a Grueling trip...
{as always. ; ) }
getting the Trucks loaded here... in Iowa.
Then...a Long One Day Haul, to Nashville.
We were late... checking in at The Opryland Hotel.
As I was opening the door to our room, Steph said...
"By the way... where's the 'Gym'... in the Hotel?"
: )

I looked at her, and replied...
with much amusement,
"How in the Hell would I Know... ??!
: ) 
Look at Me!!"
: ) : ) : )
then, went on...
and said...
"Little Girl, after working at this 'Event', day after day...
and walking miles, to and from... the 'Show', 
You... won't be thinkin' about 'Working Out' at The Gym."
: )

Steph... fired back.
" Oh, Yes I Will!! : ) I HAVE to Work Out... Every Day!!"
: )

uh huh...
: )

Steph found The Gym... the next morning. 
After she returned from her 'Workout'...
we headed to The Convention Center, 
worked 14 hours, then... walked back to our room, about a mile away.

I opened the door to our room, Steph... slowly walked inside....
threw herself on her bed, laid there for a minute, without speaking...
then, said...

"I feel... like a 'Bag of Bones'."

{Didn't have the 'Heart'... to tell Steph, 
'You Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet'. 
: ) 
We'd Only 'Just' Begun... }

Needless to say, Steph never went back to the 
'Resort'... to 'Work Out'  after that First morning.
: )
but... I've often thought of Steph's Perfect analysis
 of how ya 'feel', 
after working an 'Event'.
; )

Thought of Steph's Words, a Million Times, tonight.
oh dear.

yes...
tonight, 
I, 'feel'...
like a
 'Bag of Bones'.
: )
Hahahahaha!!!
; )

The Anamosa Market, Was Amazing...
on
 So Many Levels.
<3 <3 <3 
I'll write that 'Story'...
tomorrow.
: )

Love to Ya...
Prayers for All.
