The Journey.
Insanity.
; )
Posted the above... on FB when Fairfax fined me 104,000. for having 6 Chickens...
and an Old, Tom Turkey.
oh, and, Our Beloved Scout. {Horse}.
Their 'timing' was very interesting.
I... was deeply questioning a 'Walking/Bike Trail' next to Highway 151.
They.... didn't like that.
We'd had Critters here, for over 40 years without a Single Complaint.
Horses... a Cow... 30, plus... Geese, Chickens....
{So did our Councilwoman Wainwright, across Stallman Dr.}
I... asked the former Mayor to Grandfather us in.
His reply... at a Public Council Meeting...
"I would never consider that."
; )
That... Bernie,
: )
Bless his heart.
Miss. Scarlett... and the Old Drysink Cupboard.
<3
That Wonderful.... Old, Old... Sharpening Stone, that I bought from Dear Friend,
Lyle Hanson, one of the last times we visited.
<3
The Children... {of Every Age} are so drawn to it.
: )
I... think of Lyle, every time I look at it.
: )
Lyle... was Scrapper, like Dad.
He knew Dad... pretty well, they were Friends, but... not at Auctions, over Scrap Iron piles.
; )
Lyle... told me one day... he remembered an Auction near Belle Plaine,
where he was sure to see Dad, but was Delighted 'Marion Conner' hadn't shown up at.
{Dad was his Fiercest Competitor, back in the early 1970's... for Scrap.}
Lyle... said, he thought he'd be 'Cleaning Up'... at that Auction,
until...
he saw a little girl, standing next to The Clerk, and Auctioneer....
looking Mad as Hell.
{Lyle said... he'd Never Seen a Child Look So 'Serious'!!}
Hahahahahaha!!!
Bidding...
against him,
on every single
Scrap Pile.
: )
Dang.
{Folk's tell me, to this day... I look Mad, when I'm bidding.
: )
Guess... it's a 'habit'.
I remember thinking, back then... I can't 'look' like a 'child',
'behave' like a child,
I have to be Serious, to be Taken...
'Seriously'.
; )
I Miss... Lyle.
He... had an Artist's Eye.
Dad, never had that.
It was all... pretty much, 'Scrap'.
Looking back, I remember Dad... 'Scrapping' things, that should've been Saved.
<3
Lyle... Had a Gift.
Grateful... He Saved So Much... from 'Scrap'.
<3
My last visit... to Lyle's... was a Beautiful...
Sunday Morning.
Son, Justin... rode Shotgun, with me.
{He was just a Teen. <3}
Lyle... lived Deep in The Woods, near the Beautiful little town, of Vining, Iowa.
<3
Lyle... didn't have a phone, he was pretty much, off grid.
: )
Farmer's and Neighbor's would line up... on Lyle's road, on Sunday Mornings, to see what he'd brought Home, from Auctions... Thursdays, and Saturdays, prior.
: )
{Lyle's Place... was Fun. : ) }
That... Sunday, Lyle... spent a bunch of time... with, me, and Justin, standing at the tailgate of our old...Ford.
: )
We were Swappin' Stories... about Dad, and... life, in general.
: )
I noticed Men... standing by the road, wanting Lyle's attention... told Lyle so.
: )
{You Better Take Care of Those People!! Money!!" : )}
Lyle, said...
"They can wait. I'm enjoying our conversation."
I was told... Lyle took his Life, about a week later.
Dropped me to my knees.
Somehow, it never set right with me.
: (
Had a few conversations... with the Tama County Law Enforcement...
Dear LORD... I wanted them to Investigate Lyle's Death.
they did.
: (
; )

Merry Christmas....
July 31.

Love to Ya...

Brighter Days.
<3
I moved away from 'Home', when I was 15.
I'll be writing a truly... Beautiful... story, about that, someday.
: )
<3
When I moved away, took a record player... and, Dolsey.
{Great Dane. 'Best Friend', I'd rescued. <3
She Rescued me, More Often...than not. <3}
The records... 'Artists'... I played non stop... were...
The Eagles.
Linda Ronstadt...
but, Especially...
Tammy Wynette.
: )
<3
I'm going to post a song that Tammy 'wrote', above.
<3
Learned recently... it was her favorite.
mine, too.
<3
'Til I Can Make It on My Own'.
Love to Ya...

I remember that 'Trot'... like it was Yesterday.

Sally's Top Down...
Southern Rock... Playin' Loud, and Proud... from Sally's CD player.

<3
YEAH BOY!!!

After 'Long Days'... well.

Before...
Before there was a Dollar General under that Beautiful Rainbow, across Stallman Drive,
neighboring...
The Rabbit Hole.
This was first posted in 2015.
Daughter, Liz... shared it with me.
; )
<3
John Helm, was Quite a Character.
; )
Sharp... Sharp... Sharp.
; )
John was a Man of Few Words.
but...
when he spoke,
Folks...
listened.
John, and his Pals... would play tricks on each other.
: )
{Endlessly. : )}
One morning... at The Shop... John received a call...
from someone, claiming he was The Vice President of Peoples Bank, in Cedar Rapids.
{I witnessed this 'conversation'. ; ) }
John listened to the caller, for a bit... then, flicked his stogie... to the floor, and proceeded to call...
the
'caller'
out.
; )
"you're real... funny, you Phony Motherf...."
Ooooooops.
It really Was, The Vice President of Peoples Bank.
Hahahahahaha!!!!
I'd never seen John... MOVE So Fast, hanging up that phone!!!!!!
; )
<3
Hahahahahaha!!!!
<3 <3 <3
Indeed.
Hahahahahaha!!!
yes...
indeed.

One step... at a time.

<3
He keeps on me, about getting my passport.
Billy, wants us to visit Ireland, together.

Billy knows, I can't rest until we get through this IDOT, and Fairfax...
Wrongful...
Mess.

He's a Lawyer.}

Hotter than a Two Dollar Pistol...
<3
Spent the early, coolest... part of today,
Workin' on The Jungle!!
<3
: )
Helper, Brandon... mowed.
GADS!!!
HAY...

I trimmed, and cut back... what I could.
; )
It was Hotter than a Two Dollar Pistol, with the humidity...

Sure Miss Our Scout.
<3
He... kept the Field Trimmed!!
<3
{Fairfax, Iowa... 'City Hall', Banned us from having Horses here, anymore....
Fairfax, City Hall...
Demanded I Sign an Agreement with Them, to Have No Critters, and NO HORSES, after Scout died.
tho, there's been Horses on this Property since the early 1970's...
but
about the time... I began questioning
Fairfax's 'Bike/Walking Trail'.
{timing}
No More.
104,000 in Fines, from Fairfax, Iowa... City Hall.
for having...
6 Chickens...
Old, Tom... Turkey.
and, an Old...
Beloved
Horse.
<3
Yes... Fairfax's Bike/Walking Trail....
means so much More, to them than Critters, and....
Certain... 'People'. Citizens. 'Their Land'...
hmmmmm.
The Only Way...
Fairfax, Iowa... 'City Hall', would drop those 104,000. fines, was...
if...
I'd sign 'Their Agreement' to NEVER have Horses 'here', ever... again.
: (
It's Public Record.
If ya don't believe me, well...
pull up the records.
{watch the 7/8/25 City of Fairfax, Iowa... YouTube video.
Watch them all... mine, {Simply Iowa} and... Councilman, Dan Wozniak's... YouTube channel,
'before'...
'Fairfax, Iowa... City Hall', actually had a 'Camera'.
Folk's You Have NO Idea... what it's taken to finally get a 'camera' inside Fairfax, Iowa...
council meetings.
: (
There's 'video', mine... and Dan's... that will show you how Hard, certain 'Council', and the former mayor...
Fought Against Transparency, at Fairfax, Iowa... City Hall.

We don't use chemicals on our land.
Never have.
It gets a little shaggy,
'Gnarly'...

; )
but,
The Birds... Bees... Worms... Bugs...

Picked a Berry Bucket Full... of Wild Black Cherries, today.

Adventures.
I've always been a Huge... Patsy Cline Fan.
: )
She, sadly... died in a plane crash, the year I was born.
1963
Patsy was just 30 years old.
She packed a Whole Lot of 'Life'... in those 30 years.
From what I've read, none... of those years were 'easy'.
but,
what a 'Journey'.
; )
'Adventure'.
: )
Pal, Bill... dropped the keys off, for the
Cedar Rapids 'Racing' Estate,
{September 11 thru 14, '25}
this afternoon.
That's gonna be a Huge Sale.
The Home is Full... as are The Garages.
We're gonna have to get busy... on it.
I have So Much... to do at Home, and... will have to start thinking about
Gold Rush, in Rochester, MN.
August 15 thru 17.
Allyson will be sharing the Simply Iowa Booth, with me, again.
: )
We had a Great Time, there... in May.
It was Great spending a little time with Wanda, and Terry.
{Gatherings}
It's a lot different, than it used to be... at Rochester.
Oh... dear Lord... did we get CRAZY at Gold Rush... over the decades.
: )
There used to be a Huge Group of us... that would all go out on Friday nights.
'Michael's'...
was our
Go To.
: )
Holy Smokes!!
Fine, Fine... Dining.
: )
Best Prime Rib... Ever.
Best... Margs, Ever.
: )
Michael's was a Long Time....
Family Owned Restaurant.
Over The Top.
Beautiful.
<3
We'd come Charging In, as a Group.... from 6 to 16 of us, after a LONG Day at The Show,
dare I say... we were, kind of a
'Motley Crew' compared to Many at Michael's...
but,
They Treated Us... Like Royalty!!
<3
: )
The Owner, called me... to let me know when Michael's was closing, and... was hoping I could attend the auction.
He knew how very much I Loved... 'Michael's'.
Always called it my 'Happy Place' in Rochester.
<3
Good Times!!
GREAT Times!!
CRAZY Times!!
; )
I... attended the auction.
Very Sad.
Brought Home a few... 'Memories'.
: )
Guess everything changes.
Perry Mason just came on... I'd better get my Nightly Dose!!

Straight from The Horse's Mouth. ; )
Yup.
; )
Still...
Hot, and... Steamy, in Iowa.
; )
Getting a little rain, here and there.
Just enough... to make the Corn, and Jungle...
GROW!!
; )
Our mower is down, so... Helper, Brandon is back mowing for us.
: )
He's BUSY!! but, will be here Sunday.
oh boy.
He may have to mow Twice... to get through The Jungle!!
; )
Grandson, Justin... sent me a video, yesterday... of Romeo being Silly.
Those Boys!!

<3
That Romeo, is Quite a Horse.

LOVE
IT!!!

Summer Supper.
; )
On these Sweltering Days,
gotta keep it lite.
; )
There's Nothing.... like
Fresh Picked
Iowa Sweet Corn.
<3
The above... popped up on FB Memories, yesterday.
That statement was concerning...
???
You Guessed It,
; )
Fairfax, Iowa... City Hall, and...
The Iowa Department of Transportation.
I, Truly... at That Point of my Life... had NEVER had to work so incredibly hard,
'Finding Truth'.
Unbelievable.
: (
Don't let the smiling/laughing... emojis fool ya.
Ask my Family... what I do, when I'm in Excruciating Pain.
{ask any Dr., or DDS. who've put me to the 'test'.
Daughter, Liz...
'inherited' the same 'pain response'.
Don't know where I got it from... except, maybe... from growing up with Dad, and... Mom.
Oh dear Lord, whenever I'd get hurt, and it could be 'bad'... 'hurt', I'd NEVER let either of them 'see' that.
NO WAY!!!
Hahahahahaha!!!
: )
Seeing the pain of 'worry'... for me, in Their Eyes, was FAR More Painful,
than whatever I would be 'feeling'.
GADS!!}
: )
My very first response to 'pain'...
well,
I Laugh.
The More Painful...
The
Louder
I
LAUGH!!
: ) : ) : )
{No Tears.}
{'Disrespect'... is a Whole Other Animal.
That's just sad, and... extremely disappointing.
Not... a 'Laughing' matter.}
: (
I'd been trying to Find The Truth, from both IDOT, and Fairfax... for about two years at that point.
Attending, and Addressing the mayor, and council... at Fairfax, Iowa... Council Meeting, after Council Meeting.
Phone calls, Emails... back and forth... with IDOT, trying to Find The Truth.
to... uh, no avail.
Both groups had me chasing my tail... running in circles, and, sadly... lying to me, in their own words, and hand.
{the public records Lawyer Meardon requested... proved that}
: (
It took Lawyer Meardon, an Instant....
to get to The Truth, after he Gratefully...
Jumped on Board, This... 'Crazy Train'... that Fall.
Lawyer Meardon, had Everything Handled.
: )
{Such a Relief... to be DONE with Them.}
We thought... this horrible IDOT/Fairfax, Iowa...
MESS...
was all behind us,
with our Signed, Recorded... Agreement.
{No Trail Accommodations with the Construction of the Highway 151 Bridge that Adjoins our Property.}
We... were 'Assured'.
until...
They Breached our Recorded Agreement.
IDOT Denied that, from The Top Down, until...
of course, they couldn't...
after,
Fairfax's Bike/Pedestrian Trail.... Was Built, and The 151 Bridge was Constructed with Fairfax, Iowa Bike/Walking Trail Accommodations... On, and Under.
{leaving us... in a Basin.}
Ooooooops.
There's so Much... to this story.
We're heading for Trial... sometime, in 2026.
Dear Friends, keep asking me 'How Much LONGER'....???
They've been following this Never Ending Hell, for Years.
: (
One said... the other day,
"Barb!! How Much Longer??? I'm Gettin' Old!!
I've Got Health Issues!!!
I've Gotta Stay Alive to See How 'This' Ends!!"
Hahahahahahahaha!!!
; )
: (...........
: )
The July 8, 2025 Fairfax, Iowa... City Council Meeting, was interesting.
Councilman Daly, made the comment,
I didn't hear it at the meeting, but Friends did... concerning 'Some people saying things on social media, that they'd NEVER say in person'.
; )
From what I've read, that... uh, Mr. Daly has 'posted'
over the years on 'social media',
oh... dear,
in my very humble...
opinion,
'that'...
describes Mr. Daly, much more than 'who' some believe he was referring to.
; )
Bless his heart.
Grateful... Fairfax has a Camera at these meetings, now.
{when it doesn't 'malfunction'. ; )}
Below... is a screenshot, on the old 'Friends of Fairfax' FB Page, that's been deleted, from about 6 years ago, I believe.
Councilman Daly, talking about the Trail, that 'Isn't', yet....
We're Looking At It... Now.
I... have Many... Many... Many....
Screenshots of 'content'...
that has long since been
'deleted'.
It'll all come out, after Lawyer Meardon says it can.
Stay Tuned.
Above was about 6 years ago.
: (
There's much more... where the above came from.
Trust is everything.
'Transparency'...
: (
oh...dear.
Watch the Fairfax, Iowa City Hall YouTube Videos... when ya get bored.
The last one, gives me pause.
{7/8/25}
{they all do.}
Not... quite certain exactly where... it might lead us.
: (
Yes.
<3
Love to Ya...
Prayers for All.

{Was sad to hear of Ozzy Osbourne's Passing.

Cowboys.... Stay in The Saddle a Little Bit Longer. ; )
A long time Neighbor reached out to me... yesterday, concerning some Vintage, and Antique items she needed values for, and... advise on where to take some of them.
: )
Paid her a visit, today.
Gave her my best advise, and... hopefully, pointed her in the Best....
Direction.
; )
Her Son, and mine... are about the same age. 40ish.
They went to school together.
Just learned today, her Son... had suffered a stroke a while back, and is residing with her.
It's a Miracle... he survived the horrible brain bleed.
He was hospitalized for a long, long... time.
Amazingly... he's doing quite well, for All he's been through.
<3
Visited with him, for a bit, today.
: )
Life can Truly... Change in an Instant.
One Day... at a Time.
One...
Moment
at
a
Time.
It was a Hot,
Sultry
Day....
in
Iowa.
Livin' on Fresh Iowa Sweet Corn, and Watermelon.
: )
Summer Staples.
; )
Been scrolling through screenshots...
this evening.
Before, and After.
Wow.
Ran across a bunch, that aren't of Land, I'd...
almost forgotten about.
Oh... my.
; )
This is our Land... on the N.E. Side, Standing on West Cemetery Road, looking at Highway 151, and the Highway 151 Bridge 'Before' IDOT came through with Fairfax's Bike Trail Accommodations.
The Old... 151 Bridge, is where the tree line ends.
The Large Building across 151 is 'EIB', a business.
Above is 'After'.
Note the 'Elevation', and 'Encroachment'
Can't see much of the 'EIB' Building anymore.
Wonder what the purpose was... for IDOT to Raise That 151 Highway Bridge so TALL???
Wonder... why, IDOT had to Encroach so Deeply to the West???
'Bowl'
I'll get a more 'Exact' image, of 'After'...
Probably have a Dozen, but... it'll be quicker to walk out there, and capture a few more.
; )
Have literally... thousands of images, and screenshots of our Land, and our Neighbor's Land, as well.
The West Cemetery Road, and Bridge Construction... will soon begin on the North side of our Land.
Fairfax's 'Baby'... 'Project' '$$$', this time.
The Iowa Department of Transportation... is Funding
{Federal Dollars}
Fairfax's
Multi Million Dollar
Massive
Bridge/Bike Trail
'Project'.
{from a tiny 22 foot long bridge, to a 65 Foot long, and MUCH Elevated... Triple 'Wide' Bridge with a Bike Trail... On, and Bike Trail Accommodations Under.}
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Fairfax's Hired Engineer keeps saying West Cemetery Road must 'also' be 'Realigned'...
because it's
'Askew' with Highway 151.
???
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
I'm not an Engineer, but... have repeatedly... respectfully, disagreed with him.
See where I shaded West Cemetery Road in yellow, below.
Does the intersection with Highway 151 look 'Crooked', or... misaligned to you??
I, can't see it.
Seems The Iowa Department of Transportation... couldn't 'See' it... 6 years ago, when they TOTALLY
redid... 151.
If... They Had, They Would've Changed It Then, I... do believe.
but...
what do I know???
I...do 'see' a Problem, with this intersection...
'After'.
A 'Problem', in my humble opinion, that Never would've been, had
The Iowa Department of Transportation
not...
Breached Our Signed...
Recorded...
Agreement.
In my very humble opinion....
Millions, and Millions...and Millions of dollars would've been saved.
{Future... 'Lives' too... in my opinion}
and...
we wouldn't be in a
Flooding
BOWL.
Above... is a Before image.
I can see why, IDOT didn't find the West Cemetery Road/151 intersection...
'Askew'.
They didn't change that intersection with the recent Project, just added a Right Turn Lane.
Perhaps...
Fairfax's Hired Engineer is more Intelligent,
'Clever'...
than
The Iowa Department of Transportation's...
Engineers.
???
I'm guessing,
Time...
will tell.
After 'Dealing' with IDOT, and Fairfax... for so, many... many...many... many,
Years...
I've learned...
One Can NEVER Have Too Many 'Before and After' Images.
Figure, Neighbor's may also be needing them in the 'future'.
This is their
'First Rodeo'...
sadly,
not mine.
{May God Bless The 'Rodeo' Cowboys....
Who Stay In The Saddle...
just a little bit longer.}
; )
Love to Ya...
Prayers for All.

Oh my.... What a Day.
'Life'...
Indeed.
Busy Day....
kinda.
; )
Spent several hours early, this day...
'Puttin' out Fires'.
; )
{not literally.}
Hahahahaha!!!
Life Story... it seems.
: )
Friends, and Family... who know a bit about the way I was 'raised'
'Grew Up' with Dad...
'had'... 'have',
NO IDEA How Lost I'd have been Throughout my Entire Life,
to
This Very Day....
had
Dad 'Raised' me, like they 'thought' he should've.
Family... back in the day, would get on Dad,
about the responsibilities he gave me at a very young age.
Leaving me at Farm Auctions, from the time I was 7... to do his bidding.
Teaching me how to drive a Truck, Tractor... also, when I was 7.
I LOVED Every Moment of It.
{We Had So Much Fun!!}
and...
Learned So Much.
<3
How to Deal with People, most all walks of life, and many 'situations'.
I've written about this before, but... do think of it often.
When I was about 14/15, was staying with Family, for a Summer.
One of my Niece's {same age as me} had taken a message from a man who lived near where I'd rented pasture for about 15 head of Horses, Ponies... and Mules.
{He also had Horses.}
My Niece said the caller sounded angry, and wanted me to call him right away, as he was holding a pair of Mules that had jumped the fence, got into his barn... and wreaked havoc.
My Niece, would kinda say things, that... kinda got under my skin... just... a little bit.
About how I had Horses, and got to drive... and go to auctions.
What she didn't see, was the work.
Nor, did she understand, until that day... what comes with Fence Creeping Livestock.
; )
I looked at my Niece, and said... "I tell ya what, you return the call to the man, concerning The Mules, pretend you're me, reassure him, you'll be right there, to gather them up... and pay for any damages to his property, then... tell me how easy my life is."
My Niece got a big grin on her face... dialed the man up.
She started out pretty good, but... then, the man Laid In To Her!!
Pretty soon, her tears were flowing.
: (
I knew that man... I'd known him, and his Family... since I was little. Took the phone from my Niece's hand, she was so choked up by his cruel words, she couldn't speak.
I'm very certain she'd Never been spoken to, that way... in her life.
: (
I easily... found the words.
: )
Went on...
calmly...
reassured the man, I'd be there... to retrieve The Mules within the hour,
told him to have a bill in hand,
for the damages.
{the 'Damages' amounted to some Horse Sweet Treats, The Mules had eaten.}
The man was waiting for me... in his Barn, where he had The Mules in 'Jail'.
: )
He was a very different 'man' face to face.
He handed me the bill. I handed him the money.
Snapped lead ropes on The Mules, and Home... we went.
I'm guessing, that man felt pretty ashamed of his earlier actions.
They often do, after they get so crazy.
{I've lost my temper... a time or two, and... most always regret it. }
I... think, my Niece thought 'better' of my lifestyle, after that.
: )
Dad, taught me how to 'Deal' with people like that.
Many times, early on... by 'Example'.
Later, when I was handling... so much, working with Dad, often, leaned on Dad's 'Example'.
He'd get into some Tight Spots... for Sure!!
" FIRE!!"
; )
Hahahahaha!!
I... was 'The Fireman' for Dad.
; )
<3
What a Character.
; )
Grateful Every Single Day...
Marion W. Conner Sr.
was
My Dad.
; )
There's a little snippet of Jack's Mosaic Bench.
<3
We did Concrete Walls, and... Rolled Stone trim, in the Shower Room.
Old, Old... Sandstone Columns, flank the entry.
<3
I remember that Auction.
It was a Hot... Hot... Day!!
Sure miss those Farm Auctions.
; )
Always pin my Bidding Number to my shirt, so I don't have to dig for it.
Auctioneers appreciate that.
Time... is Money, at an Auction.
Found that Old... Pin Back, LONG Ago.
I keep it pinned to The Ford's visor.... used it at most Every Auction.
; )
Perrrrrrrfect!!
; )
Love to Ya...
Prayers for All.
