Oh... dear. ; ) nothing... surprises me anymore.


Picked up a load of Treasures, yesterday....


Cool Things.
<3

Had to dig through an attic, and basement... a little, which...
wouldn't be a bad thing, except...
I, didn't get much rest, the night {morning } before.
Think... I might've went to bed, around 4 a.m.
; )
Those damned Fairfax, Iowa... 'Council' meetings, well...
they kinda do me in.
: (
oh my.

I have no confidence... or respect, for most everyone at
 Fairfax, Iowa...
 City Hall.
: (
'Trust'... 
is
 Everything to me.

once...
 that's lost, well...
it's difficult...
 looking at Folks,
being in the same room, and...
breathing the same air, 
being in the 'presence' of those who've 
knowingly...
willingly...
deliberately...
intentionally...
betrayed...
 'Trust'.

gads.

{needles in my eyes}



November 13, was Grandson, Justin's 15th. Birthday!!!
{HOW Did That... Happen???}
<3


<3 <3


<3 <3 


<3 <3 


Offered to Take 'J'... Wherever He Wanted to Go... for Lunch!!

'J' chose 'Mikey's' {where The Fairfax DQ used to be.}
: )
{'J' HATES to have his picture taken. : ) Don't Understand WHY???
He's Sooooo HANDSOME!! : ) <3 }

When we left Mikey's...
 turned Old... Jethro Loose.
: )
THAT...
 brought a Huge Smile, to Justin's face.
: )
Told Justin, 
'Jethro... and Grandpa, John...
 wanted to give him a
 'THRILL'...
 on his 15th.
Birthday. '
: )



<3 <3 <3 



After bringing the load home, yesterday... oh my.
I was so cold.
It was damp... and windy.
I, was beyond weary.
Literally... Chilled to The Bone.

I'd fixed a BIG Kettle of Veggie Soup, so... 
filled a bowl, with Hot Soup...
found my way to John's Old... La-Z-Boy, in his room...
T.V. Room/Man Cave, to have lunch.

Was watching Gunsmoke... wrapped up in a WARM Blanket, 
oh my.
Seems I nodded off to sleep.

Something... woke me up.
???
Heard someone talking.
Was half asleep, thought it was Grandson, Justin...
talking to someone on his phone.
???
Kept hearing...
"Hello... hello.... hello...?"
so, I said...
"Hello."
: )

{Still fully reclined, half dozing, wrapped in the Huge, Warm Blanket.}

A Man... was standing in the doorway, to John's Man Cave.
: )
I...said,
 "Hello.: ) "
{didn't sit up... just, said... 'Hello'. : )}
said...
"Seems...you've caught me napping. ; ) How can I help ya??"

The Man said...

"I was just wondering if you have any Buddha's for sale???"

I... said...
"Well, sadly... I don't... and... 'This' isn't my store... this, is my home... 
so, please Ignore the Dust. ; )
{I Should Be Keepin' This House Cleaner!! Gads!!}
Still... fully reclined, asked the Man... to let me think, for a moment, about Where... he might find a Vintage Buddha???

Directed him to 'Artifacts', in Iowa City.
<3
They Get Some Very 'Unusual' In.
: )

The Man... repeated the name, I'd suggested... then, headed back up the stairs, and through the house, but... when he reached the top of the landing, he said...
{I'm still reclined, : ) he had to find his own way out. : ) }

"Cool House."
: )

Thanked him.
; )

oh my.

Miss. Peanut, didn't do a thing.
Hahahahahaha!!

think...
 it was probably, because I remained calm.
; )
She can be a 'pistol'.. with strangers.
; )
<3

{If someone is seeking a Buddha, I'm guessin'... they are pretty Zen.}
<3





Pal, Steph... made some AMAZING Pasta, last night.
Duck/Chicken... Lemon Cream... Pasta.
Surprised me with a Huge Sample!!
Left it at The Door!!
OMG!!!
OVER The Moon...
Awesome.
<3

WOW!!

Received an email from our Mayor, this morning.
; )
I'm guessin' we'll be receiving a letter, soon.
I'm also... guessing, my repeated questions, concerning the Impact to our land, by them, and IDOT... for The West Cemetery Road Bridge Bike Trail... Hall and Hall Engineering designed, will Not be answered, yet... again.
: (

yeah...
nothing...
surprises me, anymore.

; )

Love to Ya...
Prayers for All.
