Great Day One... at The Hiawatha, Iowa Estate Sale!! Day Two, Here We Come!!

Hiawatha, Iowa 
Estate Sale 'Day One'
was
BUSY!!!
; )

Neighbors visited, said... they watched Folks lining up before 7 a.m. 
this Morn.
; )

Had a Very Busy Day... right up 'til Closing, at 6!!

Thanks So Much to All Who Attended, and Helped...
{Barb B. and Christine L. Customer's and Pals.}
; )
We had Such Wonderful... Fun... Folks, stop by, All Day Long!!
<3

I... took 'The Garage Duty'.
: )

17 degrees, most of the day.
Kept reminding myself... 'this day'... is a 'Warm' day, compared to what's ahead.
: )
Be Grateful!!
<3

After Bill's Horrific Fall, sure didn't want him out there.
He's doing Much Better.
; )
Pal, Dale.... said, tonight...
"Bill's been giving me Sh!t All Afternoon... I KNOW He's Feelin' Better!!"
Hahahahahahaha!!
Those Two, Go Round and Round!!
It's Hilarious!!
; )

Poor Bill.
oh my.

Dale found a few fishing rods, and reels... this morning, in the garage that weren't priced.
I asked Bill... to price them.
{Bill... knows Nothing about 'Fishing' anything. Not his style.
I told him I'd price them, but... to bring the pricing gun.
He did, along with the rods.

As he was trying to untangle them...
the line, hooks... and bobber's were Flailing...
{oh my gosh}
{I'm laughing so Hard... Just Thinking About It!!!}
Hahahahahahahahaha!!
{and... I Shouldn't Be. but... Damn It. It was Funny.
Ya HAD to Be There!!!}
Hahahahahahaha!!!
; )

So... here's Bill, trying to make Some Kind of Sense outta the Tangled Mess of Rods,
{they... were quickly getting The Best of Bill. : ) }

A Rogue Fish Hook, Somehow...
with Precise Precision...
strategically,
slipped between the space between Bill's tiny 'spare' glasses lens, and his eyebrow.
Slightly... hooking his eyelid.

Oh My God.

{It wasn't Bad... Bill's fine. I got him 'Unhooked'. }
{Could've been Much Worse!!}

Seeing Bill, with that Monster Goose Egg, and Now... 
Fighting with Rogue Fishing Poles and Hooks!!
GADS!!!!

Hahahahahaha!!!
{I shouldn't laugh... as Peg would say,
"There Goes Another Smoldering 'Pin Feather'."
Hahahahahahaha!!!}

Bill and I have talked, jokingly... many times of doing a 'Live' feed.... at these 'Events'.
Let the camera roll... take in, what We See, and Nobody... would Believe.
Hahahahahahahaha!!!
I Gotta Tell Ya, 
it's pretty entertaining.
; )

What a Crew... are we.

Insane.

<3


My New Boyfriend!!
: )

I cloaked myself in a Blanket... 
with
My New Boyfriend.
{Space Heater <3 }
All Day, in The Garage.
; )

Folk's were asking me if I drew 'The Short Straw', or... if I was being 'Punished'!!!
Hahahahahaha!!

Nope.
Told 'em I'm on The Naughty List... just trying to find redemption.
: )
Hahahahahaha!!!

Yes... we all have a lot of Fun... at these Sales.
; )




The Amazing Anvil... found a New Home, today.
<3

A Gal walked in... early afternoon, she asked me to 'Hold' it for her.
{We don't usually 'Hold' anything at these sales. Our window of selling, is so short...
it's first come... first get.}

but...
I knew that Girl was serious, and she'd be back.
She wanted to buy it for her Son, for Christmas, but had to go... get the cash.

The Gal... told me all about her Son, how hard he worked...  how he could fix most Anything, and... how he was pretty much,
'Self -Taught'...
and...
how he'd been wanting an Old Anvil.
<3
{I happen to know, and have known... a few 'Boys', very much... like her Son.}

True to her word... she came back, with the cash.
Soon after... I heard the sound of a 7.3 Ford Diesel...
'Whistle', 
backing up to The Garage.
; )

It was her Son... picking up His Anvil.
<3



: )


Priceless.
; )



Later, Bill... came to The Garage, asked me if I'd seen his text.

No, I was too busy keeping 'Cloaked'.
Hahahahahaha!!
{Phone? What Phone? 'Heater', Yes!!}

Bill wouldn't tell me why... I needed to look at my phone, just...
that I Had to.

Bill had captured a 'Wink' that a car had made... while turning around at The Sale.

Bill just happened to 'see' it.
<3 <3 

Yes...
'Winks'
Do
Exist.
; )

Priceless.

Hiawatha, Iowa...
Estate Sale,
Day Two...
Here We Come!!!

Stay Tuned.
