Dear Friend, Jeri... gave me the Lovely...
Miniature Lilac Bush, for my birthday, way back.
<3
{25 years ago... I'd bet.}
It was just a tiny little plant. In a gallon pot, I believe.
thought...
'How Sweet!! a 'Miniature' Lilac Bush.
<3
I'll plant it in a little corner, beside the door to The Hen House.'
: )
<3
Hahahahahaha!!!
The ONLY thing 'miniature' about the Beautiful Lilac... are the Sweet Lilacs, themselves.
The Bush is HUGE!!!
<3
Wish You could get a whiff of them.
Oh My.
<3
: )
Sure Miss.... Jeri.
Had the pleasure of visiting with her Grandson, Nick... a couple of weeks ago.
Got some Morel Mushrooms from him.
He's Quite The Morel Hunter!!
; )
It was Great Reminiscing with Nick... about Jeri, and the Crazy Times we shared.
: )
Went to the Fairfax, Iowa... city council meeting, last night.
Arrived a little late, but... what I wanted to discuss, wouldn't be up... for quite some time.
They had a long list of agenda topics, before... and... 'Fireworks'... were once again being discussed, so...
no worries.
Shoulda worried.
: )
They decided to move the discussion concerning the West Cemetery Road Bridge 'project', ahead of The Fireworks on the agenda, at the meeting.
???
wow.
Imagine my surprise, as I sat there for 45 minutes, or so... listening to the Fireworks discussion, then... to find, after...
they jumped 3 spots, out of order.
???
Wow.
just...
wow.
: (
I spoke to the council... three times last night.
Got a little heated, a time or two.
: (
If the clerk makes sure... the camera hasn't 'malfunctioned', like it often seems to when I address the council, I'll post it, and time stamp it... for Ya.
; )
I... believe, it'll be an interesting video.
Former Fairfax Mayor... 'Bernie', was in attendance.
: )
Oh My!!
: )
He's using a walker, so... held the door for him, when he went back, and forth.
We, had a nice... little conversation, in the upper lobby of City Hall.
: )
Ya can't help... but like, Bernie.
Sadly... 'like' isn't always right for 'All'.
Had another 'exchange' with Bernie, when I asked the council... what the criteria is...
to be a
'city administrator'.
Bernie Chimed Up... with, something like....
"Ya Just Have to Live on The Farm... on The Corner!!"
: )
"Bernie... Bernie, Bernie. Ya mean my place???
: )
Oh.... no.
: )
To have a 'Farm'... one would have to have...
Chickens, Geese... Ducks... Turkey's....
and
Horses.
Ya see, We Have None of Those...
'Now'."
; )
{Thanks to Fairfax City Hall.}
bless their hearts.
: )
uh oh.
; )
hahahahahahaha.
I pushed 'em kinda hard... concerning
the city administrator's
Resignation.
: (
Before I left for the meeting, last night...
heard a little scuttlebutt, from a few...
that pointed to major...
Bullying...
to the not even 6 month old...
administrator.
: (
{ Remember very well, when Mayor Beer was elected, and... how she was treated by
'city hall'.
: ( : ( : (
It was sickening, and heartbreaking. Still is, in my opinion.}
Warned the council...
they'd better be very careful, on 'who'... they fill the city administrator's
shoes with.
Should be someone... far removed from 'Fairfax', and 'City Hall'.
if...
the spot is filled by someone...
'Close'.
a...
'Bully'
perhaps.
???
uh oh.
: (
Giving someone... a 25,000. severance package, that's only worked at City Hall... under 6 months,
well...
Folks...
have questions.
???
Many.
Of course, the council wouldn't answer my questions.
'Privacy' issues.
; )
No... answer to 'Bullying', is... an answer, in my opinion.
Yes, or... no.
Was 'Bullying' involved in this Man's resignation???
Yes, or No??
As a councilman... councilwoman, I'd give that much up, to
Assure,
'Bullying'
has
No
Place
at
Fairfax, Iowa...
City Hall.
: (
'Home... Sweet Home."
Was after 10, when I got Home... last night.
'Missy'... was Ready for Bed.
; )
That... Pup.
<3
My Bed... stands Tall, have to help Miss. Peanut... Up.
: )
then...
She Goes Crazy!!!
Spins Round... and Round... and Round!!!
Rootin' The Blankets...and Pillows.
; )
She Makes a Big Nest.
; )
<3
: )
{I Trust... Most, until I'm given a Reason, not to.
then...
uh oh.}
<3
; )
Love to Ya...
Prayers for All.
