One Day... at a Time.


Had a Wonderful... Easter Sunday, with Pals.
<3


Allyson had Easter Baskets for us all.
; )
That Girl!!
: )


Allyson, and Bethany created a Fabulous Dinner, for Us.
; )
{The Table... was Full! Dale, Rhonda... Kathy, Joe... Bethany, Allyson, and me. 
: )
Love to hear Dale, and Rhonda... Pick on Each Other!!
 : ) 
Hilarious!! }

It's always a Treat... visiting John's Creations, and so Many... 
'Old Souls'... 
{Iowa Farm Cupboards}
that I've had the great opportunity to cross paths with, over the years.
Used to think... those wonderful Old Soul's were Everywhere.
; )
They... are not.
Very difficult to find them, or... at least, ones like Allyson has, anymore.



Love the Old Beauty.... above.
<3
Found it at Gold Rush, Rochester, MN., many years ago.
Called Allyson right away, when we got Home.
<3
It's Perfect in her Kitchen.
<3

Most of Easter... was Lovely.
however...
we had 'Rain'... last night, so... me and Old... Jethro, were circling the property, capturing images.
: (

Fairfax was spared the Flash Flooding, that was being warned.
Praise God.
It's been so dry, here... the Thirsty Soil, soaked up what rain we received rather quickly.
Sadly...
there was still... much ponding, where water never used to, 'before'.
: (


This is the Gal... I met at the store, on Saturday.
: )
We got to talking... while fussing over the Poor... Easter Lilies, and before long, we Knew each other's Life Stories!!!
Hahahahahahaha!!!
We must've chatted for 45 minutes!!
Hahahahahahaha!!!
Troubles... Woes... Travels... Love... Anger... : )
'LIFE!!'
: ) : ) : )
As we were parting, the Lady asked my name.
I reached out my hand, to shake hers... and introduced myself.
"Barbara Conner. Nice to Meet Ya!! : )"

The Lady said...

"My name is 'Barbara'... Too!!"
Hahahahahahahaha!!!
I, said...
"Of Couse It Is!! Hahahahahahaha!!!"
: ) : ) : ) 
We Had The Best... 'Visit'!!
{Even shared one of my favorite responses.... when 'Pistol's' are pushing her buttons.
; )
"Bless your heart."
; )
'Barbara'... liked that, a lot.}
: )

Barbara Jean, {not 'Ann', like me...}
was Such a Gift, that Easter Eve.
We have so much in common.
'Life'.
; )
oh...
my.

Believe it, or not....
{I, can't...}
Barbara Jean, is 91 years old...
{goin' on 40!}
Holy Smokes!!!
What a Woman!!
'Inspiration'.
; )


Was at Fairfax, Iowa... City Hall this morning, when they opened up, at 7:30 a.m.
: )
Picked up the flash drive, that... apparently  has been sitting at City Hall, for a while.
: (
I asked the Head Clerk, 'why'... I hadn't been notified that it was ready??
: )
She kinda 'Blew Up'... at me, and said...
"I Told You It Would Be Ready The Monday After You Left The Flash Drive."

no....

That... is not, what she said.

She said... she would 'Hopefully'... have it done by then.

The Clerk denied that, this morning.
: (
{bless her heart ; ) }

I, checked my 'documents'... after leaving City Hall, this morning.
'Hopefully'...
is 
'exactly' 
what 
she
 said.

Furthermore, told her... this morning, we were advised by Dustin, the new city administrator, after I dropped off the flash drive... weeks ago...with her, that 'They', meaning the City, were working on getting the records done.
???

then... for weeks, after, we hear 'Crickets'.
???
The Clerk... responded,
"He doesn't speak for me."
{I see that. ; )}
oh... dear.

I asked The Clerk.... if EVERY Correspondence between The City, and Hall & Hall Engineering was included on the flash drive.
She looked kind of confused.
???
So... I repeated the question.
The Clerk, then... stated,
"Everything you asked for/requested, is on the flash drive."

I haven't looked at the flash drive... yet.
Have to get it to Lawyer Meardon, soon.
It'll be interesting how it compares to the other source's documents.

What a Ride.
: (
oh my.

Hope Everyone... reading this, had a Lovely Easter.
<3
Was sad to hear of Pope Francis's Passing.
Grateful... he was here, for Easter.
<3
We Need Him... On Earth, More Than Ever...
Now.
<3
What a Blessing... he was, to so many.
<3

Love to Ya...
Prayers for All.
