Beautiful Morning. {Stay Tuned... More Images of 'The Racing Living Estate Sale'... Tomorrow!!}


Oh... What a Beautiful Morning.
: )


Me... and little Miss, are Sure Enjoying This Cool Weather!!
<3

Coffee... 
tastes so much 
Richer,
outside...
in the 
Fresh... Cool... Air, 
under
 John's Old Oak.
<3



<3

The Vines... 
Create a
 Beautiful
Fortress.
<3

Worked on sending 'before'... 'during', and 'after'... 
Iowa Department of Transportation's 
2020
'Fairfax's Bike Trail' 
project...
 images
 of our Land, to Lawyer Meardon's...
Engineer, Ron... today.

Have Thousands.

oh... my.

Gonna keep Ron... Busy!!
{Bless His Heart.  He's a Good Man.}
; )

That's the one thing I learned in Spades, from our last 
IDOT Condemnation.
{1990's}

Take Pictures.

Many.... Many.... Many.

Before... During, and... After.

No matter what government entity you're dealing with, concerning 
Any Acquisition of Land.
City, County... State... or Federal.

May never need them, if you're treated right, 
Fairly,
but... if you're not, well...
a picture
 paints 
a
 Thousand Words. 

and, 
in my... badly broken... humble opinion,
don't even... try to navigate any kind of 
land acquisition agreements...
no matter how 'seemingly' small, according to 'Those', doing the 'Taking',
; )
without consulting
a
Very... Sharp Lawyer.

In my experience...
most likely, You're gonna need one.

Can't begin to tell you, how incredibly difficult it is...
going through 'those' images.

Heartbreaking.


Pal, Bill... is working on 'The Racing Living Estate Sale', today.
: )
{September 11 thru 14, 2025}

We'll be working together, there... tomorrow.
; )

Stay Tuned!!





Dear... Niece, Kari Ann, sent me an attachment last night.
: )
<3

We were very close, as children.
Kari is 4 years younger than me...
 Like all of my Niece's and Nephews...
{my age, and older... <3}
I'm 'Old... Auntie Barbie'.
<3
: )

Kari, is my 'Favorite' Niece.
<3
Love them All....
<3
{Eight Nieces, and... Seven Nephews}
but,
 Kari... and I, spent the most 'time' together, back in the day.
: )

Kari sent me the link to
'Take Me Home Country Roads'.
: )

How did Kari remember, THAT was my Favorite Tune...
in 1971???
<3

Yes... my eyes went a little misty, when I opened the link, Kari... sent.
; )
<3

We've all grown so, and moved... so far apart.

Miles, and Miles...
 apart.
yet,
somehow...
we are all, still...
so very close.
<3

Called Kari... this morning.
; )
We... enjoyed a Long Chat.
: )
<3

Priceless.

Love to Ya...
Prayers for All.
