Run... Run... Run!! It's 'That' Time of Year!!

Between wrapping up things at The Hiawatha Estate, yesterday...

and keeping appointments, today...

well, 

it's been a little 

CRAZY!!

<3

The Estate business... went very well, yesterday.

<3

Met with Folks... who ultimately purchased what I'd listed, that didn't sell, during The Sale.

: )

Good Homes.

<3

Many will be picking up... everything, on Friday.

{That'll be another... Crazy Day!! ; ) }

Had an appointment to meet with Dear, Renate, this morning.

{Renate's Antique Gallery, Amana, Iowa}

That went Very Well... then, Renate asked me to Lunch, at

 The Ronneburg Restaurant, also, in Amana, Iowa.

<3

It's Always Such a Treat... to go there.

Bud, and Renate... have Treated me many times...

there, over the years.

<3

Renate, and I...

 shared many stories... 

and Memories...

of

our

Dear...

Budwardo.

<3

We Miss Bud, So.

Wanted to see the progress on The House.

Renate... has done Such an Amazing Job, 

designing it.

<3

I See Both, Bud... and Renate in 'The Bones'.

<3

I'm Certain... Bud is Guiding Renate.

Certain.

<3

{Images at a later time. Renate asked me to keep the progress private, for now.

<3

all I can say is...

WOW!!

It's So 'Them'!! }

<3 <3

We enjoyed a Lovely Lunch, and shared a piece of Chocolate Silk...

Pie.

{Starting a diet... on January 1. : ) The 'Holidays'... 

have been very...

 Good.

Very.}

Grandson, Justin... pulled The Ford into The Shop, today... to see if he could find the leak in the power steering line.

I've been driving The Ford with no power steering for months.

: (

Trust me... Ya Get a Work Out, in Tight Spaces, with no power steering.

; )

It's not like the Old... Trucks, that were built with no power steering.

Those... had front ends that could be greased, to help them steer easy.

The Newer, no can do.

: (

While backing in at JJJ, with The Ford... next to the building, asked a Guy who was loading next to me... to please be patient.

: )

<3

Told him, it might take me a few 'Bites'... to get The Ford 'Cranked In'.

: )

He was Fine, and... Impressed, he said.

: )

"No power steering, and...a Stick Shift. I'm Impressed!!"

Hahahahahahaha!!!

; )

Justin sent me images of Gizmo...

on the Bed of The Ford, this morning.

<3

Gizzy Loves SNOW!!

; )

Loves The Ford, Too!!

He's Always trying to Climb Inside, and on The Bed!!

<3

The Ford, was parked back in the drive, when I got Home... 

a bit ago.

<3

Hopefully... The Boys located that evasive leak.

; )

We'll soon find out!!

; )

Love to Ya...

Prayers for All.
