{The above... Flora, makes me smile... when they 'smile'.
It's Blooming at The Rabbit Hole.
<3
Rescued them from a Cemetery, Pal, Allyson and me visited several years ago.}
Yesterday.... was an overcast, kinda chilly.... day.
Which, was ok.
Helper, Brandon... came back to help with more yard work.
By the time he arrived yesterday afternoon, there wasn't much time to get big projects started.
So... we tackled smaller ones.
Moved furniture, re-packed the garage... and, sadly.... we buried The Beautiful... Squirrel, who has lived in John's Old Oak, for many years.
: (
He was Huge!! <3
Was just telling Pal, Bill, the other day... while watching The Squirrel... Play, Way Up High... in The Tree, he looked bigger than a Huge Tom Cat!!
<3
I found him... while picking up trash in the yard, yesterday.
: (
Between the highway, and the 'store' across the road, oh my. It's never ending.
: (
It's Heartbreaking.... living on this 'Highway'.
Can't begin to tell ya... how many little 'souls' we've buried here thanks to 151.
Every time I saw that Squirrel, up in The Tree....
Warned him, to Stay the Hell Away.... from That Highway.
: (
Brandon, and me... moved many mountains, in a few hours.
then...
Pal, Dale.... came with his Van... to take Brandon, and his yard equipment to Brandon's Home, in Lisbon, Iowa.
{The Ford isn't set up with a hitch. : ( Brandon's Truck... is down.
I'm tellin' ya, trying to get anything done, around Home, anymore.... well...
; )
It's an 'Adventure', to say the very least.
: )
Grateful for Dear Friends!! }
Yeah.
; )
After dropping Brandon, and his trailer... off, last evening, told Pal, Dale... to pick a place to Dine.
I owe him... Suppers, along with Fuel Dough.
{Gads. ; ) }
Dale said he liked 'Whitey's' in Lisbon.
; )
He'd been there once before.
I'd been there a couple of times. Good Food.
To say Dale is a 'picky eater'... would be a HUGE Understatement!!
Hahahahahaha!!!
: )
Meat. Potatoes. White Bread. Butter.
NO SPICES of ANY KIND!!
No Ketchup... Mustard... Mayo. Gravy.
No Pizza, No Mexican... No Italian,
NO SAUCES.
To my surprise, a while back....
I watched Dale order a 'salad' for a side, with his Meat, and Potatoes.
{Shocking!! : ) }
uh... but, Dale's kind of
'Salad'...
Iceberg Lettuce
ONLY.
No other Veggies, and NO SALAD DRESSING of ANY KIND!!
; )
Hahahahahahaha!!!
; )
All of That...
Being Said....
Dale Loves His Sweets.
; )
Cookies. Chocolate. Cinnamon Rolls. Candy.
{How Dale... can Devour Cinnamon Rolls, but... won't TOUCH a 'Spice', I'll never know.}
: )
We had a Great Time... at Whitey's.
Dale ordered their Broasted Chicken Dinner, I... ordered their Special.
Pork Chop Dinner, with Extra Gravy.
; )
{Took most of it Home. Me, and Miss. Peanut shared the leftovers today. ; ) }
The Bad Thing... about Whitey's...
It's a Bar, too.
; )
and, I... wasn't drivin'.
; )
and...
I haven't written... nearly as much as I'd like to, lately.
oh my.
It's always a gamble... ordering a mixed drink, at a Bar that's unfamiliar.
I've learned over the years, the best mixed drink to order at new Bar....
is a
'Long Island Iced Tea'.
; )
Even the most inexperienced Bartender can throw a 'Long Island' together.
: )
Turned out... Whitey's Sweet Bartender.... was a Pro.
; )
Uh Oh.
I had two.... and, a sip... of a third, but... then, decided I'd better walk away.
: )
{while I still... could. oh my. ; ) }
Dale dropped me off, at the door, at Home...
had my arms Full.
Leftovers, and all sorts of other things from yesterday's travels.
oh my.
Got up... this morning, couldn't find my purse.
{Fairfax Bank Money Bag}
???
Looked Everywhere.
: (
Called Dale, bright and early.... figured I'd left it in his Van... as I was luggin' other crap, and missed it.
He didn't answer.
{Dale was at his Granddaughter's Piano Event, Early... this morning. ; ) }
Drove to Dale's Farm... about 20 miles, checked out his Van.
No...
Purse.
{I was Sure... it would be there.}
: (
Panic... began to slowly creep in.
: (
Called Whitey's....
while driving Home... from Dale's Farm.
{They'd just opened for the day.}
Turned out the Awesome Bartender's remembered me.
: )
oh dear.
"Oh My Gosh!! Yeah, I remember You!! You, and Cody were talkin' about Texas!!"
; )
yeah...
"me, and... 'Cody'??? oh, yeah... 'Texas'."
; )
????????????????????
The Sweet, Kind.... Bartender looked for my little Fairfax Bank Bag, all over.
<3
Not to be found.
: (
<3
It was close to 11 a.m. by then... while driving from Dale's....
had to make 'The Call'... to my Beloved...
Fairfax State Savings Bank.
See if my card had been used, since Whitey's, the night before.
Gratefully...
Kathy, answered my call.
; )
She, and Polly...
'understand'.
: )
<3
Hahahahaha!!!
Yes, we shared Many... Many Laughs, this morning.
; )
Kathy reassured me, that the last charge was at Whitey's.
but...
They'd Be Keeping an Eye on my account.
<3 <3 <3
{Love my Bank!! <3 }
Long Story.
; )
Found... my Fairfax Bank Bag 'Purse'....
sitting inside...beside the breezeway entry door,
where I had to set everything down,
in my arms...
to open the interior door.
Somehow....
I kinda believe, there might be a 'lesson', here.
; )
Maybe, a couple.
; )
Love to Ya...
Prayers for All.
