Oh... my.

; )

Indeed.

It is a Glorious 70, plus... degree 

November Day,

in...

Iowa.

Unbelievable.

Spent most of it, inside...

doing

'Bookwork',

 and on the phone.

It Is... What It Is.

; )

Looked back on 'Memories' that popped up on FB, a few minutes ago.

The below...

made me 

Smile.

A Friend called me... that November.

He'd rescued an Old, Old... Church Altar.

Couldn't find a 'Home' for it.

I was pretty confident, that... I could.

Had a couple of Folks in mind, so...

bought it, sight unseen.

My Friend, delivered it to me.

We unloaded it by the new side of the House.

We set it up... next to John's Old Oak, I took images, sent them on to Folks, I was 

Certain...

would be Falling All Over Themselves, for It.

; )

Oooooops.

: )

Not so much.

oh dear.

The Beautiful... Altar, was way too tall to be set up inside The Rabbit Hole.

{10 foot ceilings, in The Rabbit Hole. The Altar, stood 12 -14 feet tall.}

The ONLY Place... we could store The Altar, was inside the House.

{16 foot ceilings, here.}

We brought The Altar inside... had to do quite a bit of Shuffling, but...

The Altar, fit quite nicely.

<3

Switched gears, figured we'd Enjoy... The Beauty, then...

I'd take to Heart of Country, in Nashville, the following February.

Had our 'Heart' Booth, All... Planned Out, with The Altar.

<3

'Show Stopper'!!

; )

 A Dear Friend, saw it on my Blog, or FB, told one of her Friends, and...

it Sold, before 'Heart'.

<3

but...

Thankfully, not before we could enjoy it, here...

'Christmas', 

that year.

: )

<3

<3

<3

'Gift'

<3

Remember... sitting on The Balcony, with Pollyanna,

taking 

'Christmas' 

in, that year.

<3

It was Beyond.

<3

Love to Ya...

Prayers for All.

{Needed to run to Cedar Rapids, this afternoon... 

as I was pulling out of the drive, 

waiting.... for Traffic, on 151...

an 

SUV with a cute... little blond 'Chicky Babe'

driving,

LAID on Her Horn!!!

; )

{Jethro, and I... were sitting Still, at the end of our Drive.}

Coming from the North, heading South.... well, that 151 Bridge is arched, high...

for Fairfax's Bike Trail.

: (

Ya can't see our Drive, until... you're On Top of It, now.

so...

I waved, at the little Chicky Babe.

; )

{bless her heart.}

Gave her the benefit of the doubt.

Thought...

as Jethro, and I... waited for traffic,

perhaps... 

she's a 'Friend'.... and that was a

 'Friendly'....

'Honk'.

; )

after all,

 I thought....

{with my foot compressing Jethro's Clutch, trying to decide... which way, to Cut His Wheels.}

'Folks often 'Honk' while driving by, when I'm working in the yard.'

; )

Got me to thinkin'... how much I've 'Grown'... in the last several years.

; )

Perhaps...

IDOT, and Fairfax Iowa... 'City Hall',

 have

'softened'

 me, and Jethro... a bit.}

; )

Hahahahahahahaha!!!!
