Here's.... To The Survivors. All of Us.

Was getting ready to head to the Fairfax, Iowa... 

City Council meeting, yesterday... late afternoon, 

slappin' on a little 'War Paint', when the phone rang.

The little Bose, that was rattling the windows... with music, through my phone... downstairs...

said, 

"Call... from Bud's Cell. Call... from Bud's Cell. "

Gads!!

I raced through the house, and down the stairs.... to catch his call.

just...

missed it.

: (

Called him right back.

: )

{worry.... worry... oh my.}

Gratefully... Bud was calling to invite me to share Supper, with him, and Renate.

<3

Oh My!! Was so Thankful for their invitation, but...

had to decline their offer.

Had to be at that Fairfax City Council Meeting.

Wasn't on the agenda... but, have many questions... I'd sure like answered.

: )

and...

 an 'Official', I'd spoken with earlier in the day, was kinda countin' on me...being there.

Bud...and Renate, know this 'Fairfax/IDOT' insanity... they've watched it all unfold, over the last 8 years.

: (

They understood.

<3

I... went back, to finishing the 'War Paint'...

looked in the mirror,

and...

the person looking back, said...

"Who The Hell Are YOU??

!!!

You...

just turned down an offer,

to sit down... and Enjoy Supper, with Two of The Dearest Friends You've Ever Had, 

that... by the way, Came Close to Losing Their Lives, just... a few days ago.

'You'...

turned 

Them down...

to sit at a Fairfax, Iowa... City Council Meeting????

Where You Stick Needles in Your Eyes.... Watching, the insanity????

WOW!!"

oh...dear.

Ran... to my phone, called Bud, asked him... if his, and Renate's 

'Supper Invitation'

was still good.

: )

Happily, It Was!!

<3

We had a Lovely Evening.

<3

The Margarita Toast, was....

and, Will... Always Be,

"Here's To.... The Survivors. All of Us."

Our Happy Place.

; )

<3

Won't even go into This... Day.

Gold Rush.

if... 

anything could possibly go wrong, it did.

We'll see how things shake out, in the morning.

; )

Love to Ya...

Prayers for All.
