Pal, Allyson... and I, found The Road, yesterday.
: )
It was such a Pretty Day, in Iowa.
Very Warm... Sunny, and Windy.
The Farmers must be happy... with it being so warm, windy... and dry.
Helps the Corn... and Beans dry.
Farmers and Truckers.... are working feverishly... getting the Crops out.
'Makin' Hay... while The Sun Shines'.
: )
The Corn looks so dry, was wondering what's keeping it from collapsing into dust.
; )
Can't see it in this image, but... there's a Dust Haze.... from Harvesting.
I've noticed it around Home, for the last several weeks.
Was going to give Jethro a bath, the other day, but...
he'd be covered in dust, in an hour.
: )
'Simply Iowa'
<3
The Farmer's are Beatin' Feet... getting the Crops out.
They say it's going to rain, tonight, and tomorrow.
Allyson planned our Day...
: )
We went to Boone, Iowa....
and,
Story City.
Neither of us had ever been to Boone.
Beautiful Town.
Allyson, of course... being 'The Sugar Girl'... she is,
was excited to visit a Cool Bakery, she'd researched.
: )
As we were waiting for the Antique Shops to open, we tooled around Boone.
Ran across an AMAZING Yard Sale.
; )
Oh Boy!!
: )
Nothing was priced.
The Nice... Owner, just had us make a Pile, then... he priced The Pile.
Could've stayed there for Hours.
We...
Had...
Fun!!
Found some Very Cool 'Treasures'.
{I'll share them, when I get them unpacked.}
Our next stop... was 'Paradox'.
Oh My Gosh!!
It Is The Coolest Store!!
<3
If Ya ever have opportunity to get to Boone, Iowa...
'Paradox' is a Must See.
The owner, is so Creative!!
<3
Amazing Artist.
Love Her Store!!
We caught a Whiff of BBQ, from Paradox's doorway.
'Jimmy's BBQ Pit', is just two doors down from Paradox.
We Instantly Knew... Where...
we'd be having Lunch.
; )
It was a bit early, so... we hit a couple Nice... little...
Antique Shops.
then...
Yeah, Boy...
Back to
Jimmy's
: )
We both took more than half of our Lunch... Home,
A LOT of Food!!
Delicious.
; )
We also hit THE HUGE Antique Mall,
'Antiques Iowa', in Story City.
Friend, Kim... runs it.
She's a Doll!!
HOLY Smokes!!
I've only been there once.
Allyson, had never been.
Completely forgot how HUGE It Is!!
Amazing!!!
WOW!!
Allyson pointed out the Corn earrings to me, at Paradox.
Had To Have Them.
; )
'Simply Iowa'.
; )
Old, Old...
Trucks, and Victorian era Sugar Shells.
<3
We were beyond... excited to find some of the 'Treasures' we did, at the Yard Sale.
It'll be fun unpacking.
<3
It was Great.... getting away, for a bit.
There's been quite a bit... 'going on' around Home... I haven't shared.
Find myself... at times, emotionally... drained.
{guessin' a few reading this, understand that 'feeling' as well.}
After Miss. Peanut, and I... enjoyed Supper, last night....
I fell fast asleep.
Hard... Sleep.
I'm prone to Crazy Dreams, always have been, especially....
when this emotionally drained.
Our Peg... created a Beautiful Gourd, for me... after sharing one of my 'Crazy' dreams with her, long ago.
<3
Those Dreams, are So Real.
In the Dream, I shared with Peg...
I was at an Auction.
Standing in line, getting ready to talk to The Clerk, get a Bidding Number.
When I went to speak, felt something like a pebble, in my mouth.
???
It... wasn't a pebble, it was a tooth, that had fallen out.
but, not just one....
all of my teeth were falling out, one by one.
Like Loose Piano Keys!!
YIKES!!
: )
I... couldn't speak.
Where... oh, Where... does
'That'...
Come From???
I've been known to carry on long conversations, in my sleep.
The real conversation's, are woven into my dreams.
so...
the person talking to me, in reality, can have Great Fun... with me.
Not... Funny, when I wake up, and realize... someone is Jackin' Me Around!!
: )
{Mom, and John... would Laugh... and Laugh, at some of the Dream Conversations.
Not Funny!!}
When Allyson, and I travel together... we talk about EVERYTHING!!
Try... to make sense of this old... world.
Yesterday, was no different.
Our topics ranged from
House's of Ill Repute, to...
AI.
{We should have live videos of our conversations. We'd be Millionaires.
Pal, Bill... says that, about... when we're conducting 'Sales'.
Talk about Entertainment!!!}
Hahahahahahahahaha!!
Last night... had a CRAZY Dream.
In the dream, Sister... Merry Jo, called.
but...
I knew it wasn't her.
Her voice wasn't right.
The caller, tried... and tried to convince me, she was Merry.
; )
Finally... told the 'Dream' caller,
"I'm done with you. You're AI. Trying to Trick me.... Not Happenin'."
; )
Then... hung up the phone.
Woke up this morning, checked my phone... for missed calls.
{ have my phone set to not receive calls, in the night, unless they're 'important'.}
well...
turns out, Sister, Merry Jo, had called last night.
GADS!!!!!
I'm guessin' she's pretty confused this morning.
{Dear LORD!!!}
Hahahahahahaha!!!
She's two hours earlier than us, so... I'll wait a bit, to give her a call.
I believe... that's a First, for Merry Jo.
oh...dear.
Love to Ya....
Prayers for All.

{On a sad note, heard of Dear Man...
Bob Niederhauser's passing.
Bob... was an Amazing Soul.
Kind, caring... humble, and Fun.
: )
Bob, and his Daughter... Polly Ann, have been in the Antique Business... forever, it seems.
{'Polly Ann's' Mt. Vernon, Iowa}
Bob, was always so supportive over the last many years, concerning the IDOT/Fairfax... struggles.
Whenever we'd run into each other, Bob... would always give me a HUGE Bear Hug.
<3
Nobody on this earth, could give a Hug, like Bob.
<3
He... was a GEM, and will be deeply... deeply missed, by many.
Incredibly Grateful.... I had the opportunity to know Bob.
Sending Prayers to Polly, her Husband, Bob...their Family, and All... who Loved Bob.}
Fairfarren, Dear... Bob.
