Been working, mainly... on the lower level.
There's a Contractor remolding the upstairs bathroom, the entire main floor, is pretty 'Busy'.
The lower level, is finished, it's like an apartment.
Has a full kitchen, and bath.
When Jo Ann, and Bill entertained, we all gathered in the lower level.
<3
{Above are Jo Ann's Clothespin Bags. Handmade. I'm certain... Jo Ann most likely made them.
<3
I always smile... when I run across Clothespin Bags, like these.
: )
Simpler Times.
Some, still do hang clothes on a line. There's NOTHING that smells
Sweeter, than Sun-dried Linens... and Laundry.}
<3
LOVE the little Vintage Vac!!
It works like a CHARM!!
So Cute!!
Even has extra bags, and filters!! It appears Bill was getting them at a local Vac Store!!
; )
Spent yesterday sorting... and organizing.
I remember enjoying Homemade Ice Cream... at Summer Gatherings.
<3
Dad, had his own special Ice Cream recipe.
It was So Good!!
Wish I could remember everything he put in it.
Remember... it having Lot's of Peaches and Berries!!!
When I was little, we had a hand crank... Ice Cream Freezer.
That.... was a Job.
: )
then...
we Upgraded to an Electric one, like Jo Ann, and Bill.
; )
Jo Ann was Quite a Seamstress.
: )
Mom, Sister's Chery, and Merry Jo, were too.
<3
Don't know... if Sister, Joyce... liked to sew, but... know, I didn't inherit that Gene.
: )
When I 'sew'... it's with a Needle and Thread.
: )
No Machines... for me!!
; )
<3
Love That Rooster!
Bill is just starting to organize the garage.
The Contractor has much of his equipment stored there... until Tomorrow.
We'll be able to make Strides, when The Contractor is finished.
; )
There's some nice Tools, and Fishing gear... I've noticed.
: )
Stay Tuned!! More Images, and Details... Coming Soon!!
; )
Love to Ya...
Prayers for All.

So True.

Attended the Fairfax, Iowa... 'Special' City Council Meeting, last night.
It was a mess.
As my Gut... was warning it might be, a couple of weeks ago, concerning the new city administrator...
The first... and last one, lasted under 6 months.
He resigned... in early May.
Fairfax gave him a 25,000. severance package, with a confidentiality clause.
: (
Made me wonder...
a bunch.
Others...
Too.
: (
???
The clerk, made some comments, last meeting... to the council... about changing the educational guidelines,
for the next 'city administrator'.
???
that...
really, made me wonder.
Said so... at that meeting.
???
The city clerk... has done a lot of 'guiding' our council...
over the years....
in my opinion.
That...
isn't her job...
in my opinion.
Like Mr. Krabs, from SpongeBob SquarePants... would say,
the last meeting...
my
nose started twitchin'...
got a
Whiff...
of,
'That Smelly Smell... that Smells...
Smelly."
{I know that 'Scent' Well...
from dealing with
Fairfax, and IDOT...
all of these years. : (
Mr. Krabs... smelled
'Anchovies'.
: )
somehow,
I have a 'nose'... for something else. }
: (
It was pretty 'Putrid' smelling, at City Hall... in my opinion... last night.
I, gave the Mayor, and Council... my thoughts.
The clerk, as well.
{my hands were trembling... at the podium. : (}
Ya know... many of us would like to know... if the former administrator was 'Bullied' out of his job,
and by whom.
They won't answer.
A simple 'No'... he wasn't... would set many of our minds at ease.
I've seen first hand, as have many others.... our Mayor Beer, be Bullied, at City Hall.
: (
Don't like it.
: (
I certainly Hope, as I shared with the council...
when they take applications for a city administrator...
they'll choose someone with No Ties to Fairfax, or Fairfax, Iowa... City Hall.
No Pals... No Family... No Friends of the Current City Government.
No current employees.
Told them, in my opinion...
Fairfax needs an administrator....
that's Honest, Free Thinking... Well Educated, Non Bias,
and...
not
connected.
Just... my humble thoughts.
Incredibly Grateful...
the council... listened to their Attorney's direction...
to hand the reins back to The Mayor, instead of taking the clerk's....
seemingly very thoroughly... extremely... well thought through, ongoing... 'direction',
and... filling that position in another direction.
oh my.
If the camera didn't 'malfunction', I'll post the May 27, 2025 Fairfax Special Council Meeting's
YouTube
video when it's up.
oh... dear.
{needles in my eyes}
By Golly!!! The May 27, 2025 YouTube Video... made it.
; )
If Ya have a bit of time, at about 1:15.00 is where The City Administrator...
'discussion'... began.
my...
my.
For the record... I've always thought, and... recommended...
Fairfax's hired Attorney should have a Place, a 'Seat'... at Every Meeting.
I, believe... in the long run,
A Lawyer...
Watching Over These 'Meetings'...
Would've Saved our Community,
'Fairfax'...
Big
Time.
BIG TIME.
Look at Fairfax's Engineering Budget.
then, think about how a Lawyer, maybe...
could've...
maybe,
; )
{in my opinion}
Saved our Community,
'Fairfax'...
a
Big
Bunch.
again...
my, humble opinion.
