Spent the afternoon playin' in Christmas... down The Rabbit Hole.
Wasn't Open.... have so much to get done.
The Boy's have piled things inside... after the shows, and sales.
Gads.
: )
Pal, Shelly... {Hoppy's , La Porte City, Iowa}
sent Angie, and John... above, last week.
Angie called, as I was driving to 'Thanksgiving', last Saturday.
Told her then, I'd planned on being Open... this weekend.
This week, completely got away from me.
: (
Been struggling... on so many levels.
: (
When Angie called, yesterday... told her, I'd meet her at The Rabbit Hole.
: )
but...
It Is... What It Is!!
Hahahahahaha!
She, and John... were Great!!
<3
Glad she called, made me get busy.
; )
Gonna keep Christmas up, year around... in this little niche, in The Rabbit Hole.
Started resetting it, during The Fall Harvest Sale...
It'll be Fun, when it's done.
; )
I have a Sickness... when it comes to Vintage Christmas.
; )
Pick it up year round.
I'm not the only one, so... figured The Rabbit Hole should have a permanent niche...
for
Christmas.
<3 <3 <3
Love....Love... the little electric Fireplace, I bought at the end of Pal, Marion's Estate Sale.
<3
It's Beautiful... and, think of Marion... every time I fire it up.
Marion... was a Wonderful Soul.
<3
<3 <3
Believe... we're putting The Tree up, today.
: )
Helper, Brandon's been itching to help with it.
: )
Grandson, 'J'... was going to help, but... something came up....
so had to back out.
Busy Kid!!
: )
Usually theme The Tree, every year, with something a little different.
One year put a sheet metal Running Horse Weathervane Directional in it.
Violins, and like above... a Cello, a few times.
Above... I think... was my Favorite.
2013.
Don't know... how much more, than The Tree, I'll be doing this year.
If we can get The Tree up, and... The Bell, up... and, the Sleigh, with The Horse, on the Balcony...
that'll be enough.
: )
The Tree, would be enough... but, have to pull everything else out, to get
'to'... The Tree, there's no way... I could put it all back, once it's out.... that, would be very sad.
Nervous about what we're going to find... under the stairs, where 'Christmas' is stored.
Haven't been clear back under there, for 2 years... didn't put The Tree up, last year... but, definitely had to clean up flooding.
IDOT has never fixed the drainage... that they Destroyed, and encroached upon us... for, for Fairfax's Bike Trail...wrongfully, in my opinion.
{Sure wish IDOT... {Iowa Department of Transportation}would've kept our...
Signed, Recorded... Agreement... instead of
Breaching It.
: (
Wouldn't be writing, or thinking about... 'This' now. : ( }
there's been big water problems since... under the stairs, and basement.
: (
We've Taken In Water, 17 times, since IDOT's last 151 'Project'.
: (
{if ya think... I'm angry... You're Right.}
; )
Mess.... Mess.... Mess.
Heartbreaking Mess.
: (.....
It'll be mighty Interesting to See, how....
Fairfax's... West Cemetery Road Bridge...
'designs',
tie into...
The Highway 151, IDOT... Wrongful... in my humble... opinion,
'Bike Trail' Accommodations.
Basin... Basin... Basin.
: (
bless their hearts.
{There's a Huge part of me... that doesn't want to 'bless 'their' hearts'.
: (
make no mistake...
I'm beyond... Angry.
; (
I'm Counting... on 'The Law', and.. Josey Wales,
Charles Meardon....
to explain...
in, and to...
The Linn County District Court, and Jury...
exactly...
what Fairfax, and IDOT,
have been 'up to', over many years....
in my opinion.
On a Happier note, just found that Alison Krauss will be in CR next year!!
GADS!!!
<3
Alison Krauss... is The Voice, of The Rabbit Hole.
Play her there.... most Always!!
Wish she had a Christmas Album.
; )
Dwight Yoakam, will be in CR next year...Too!!
GADS!!!
GADS!!!!!!
Hopefully... I'll be able to attend both concerts.
They are Amazing.
All of Them!!
Better get Crackin'...
It's gonna be a Long Day.
Love to Ya...
Prayers for All.
