Many years ago... a Dear... mutual Friend, of mine, and John's...
{and Dads : )}
'Jack', gave us three pieces of Vintage Mosaic Concrete.
A Garden Bench, a Small, Round... Table, and... the Massive Urn, kind of pictured, above.
Jack gave them to us, about the time we were building on to the house.
{late 1990's, early 2000's.}
About DIED when I saw them.
<3
Knew they'd be Perfect for the 'new' Bathroom.
<3
The Tall... Urn, would sit perfectly under the mid 1800's Church Windows, John 'built in'
that divides the Bathroom, from the Shower Room.
We placed the Lovely... Bench inside the Shower Room.
It's been very handy... and Beautiful... over the years.
: )
Keep a rolled up towel, or two... on the bench,
at the end, nearest the shower door, tiered candles at the other end.
The Small Table, sits in the corner of the Shower Room,
that's where we set soaps, shampoo... etc.
: )
So Grateful... Jack thought of us when he was moving.
He said... they'd been sitting for decades, had nearly forgotten about them, and... he kinda thought, after seeing the kind of 'Stuff'... I was always Draggin' Home, that... I might like 'em.
: )
<3 <3 <3
Jack was a 'Car Man'.
better yet...
a
'Mustang Man'!!
: )
Jack had Hundreds of Them.
{That's a Fact.}
John knew Jack, from the early 1960's. Dad, too.
When it was difficult for Jack to get around, he... started visiting John's Shop, almost daily.
: )
He'd help out, where he could... or, just keep the Coffee Goin'... and Swap Stories
with the other Car Dudes, that always came around on a Daily Basis!!
Hahahahahahaha!!!
; )
Miss Him!!
Loved Hearing His Stories!!
Think of Jack, every time I look at that Beautiful Concrete.
: )
{I always felt it was such an Honor... to John, that Jack 'Chose'... to 'Hang Out', here...
with John, and his Crew.
; )
Jack... was 'Known' and Respected... throughout The Car World, {around here}
yet...
Jack 'Chose'... to come every single day he could,
and spend the day.... pretty much, up to his very last.}
<3
Tried planting in the Huge Urn, but... it doesn't get enough light.
Was at Dear Friend, Patti's... Store, {Fern Hill, South Amana, Iowa }
way back... then,
ran across the Large...
Lovely... Vintage Terracotta Round Plaque.
<3
It has a Goddess surrounded by Many, Many....
Darling... Putti.
<3
Thought it might work for a cover for the Urn.
Didn't bother to measure... it,
it's so Beautiful...
figured if it didn't fit, I'd surely find another place for it.
; )
It... fits perfectly.
<3
Below are today's...
FB Memories from a few years ago.
; )
Some 'Things'...
Never
Change.
<3
That's a Fact.
; )
; )
Walked away from Stogies...
Cold Turkey,
one year ago.
Miss Them.
{especially when I write.}
{no... I don't 'vape'.
Ain't Nothin' Like 'The Real Thing', to me... Baby. ; )}
; )
<3
Busy, Busy... Week, ahead.
oh...dear.
Love to Ya...
Prayers for All.
