Thanks to All...

Thanks To All Who Attended The Hiawatha, Iowa...

Estate Sale!!

The Weather... was Frightful, 

but...

it kept few...

away.

; )

{Simply... 'Iowa'}

<3

We weren't really surprised by how Busy... we were.

Others were, but... Bill and I have conducted Sales, and have done The Anamosa Show, in January...

{Below}

during

Blizzards.

; )

Daughter, Liz... was following me, in The Ford...

 with a Load, to Anamosa one year, I was driving The FUSO, Box Truck...

{Hog on Skis ; )}

Liz called me, and said...

"MOM!!! I'm NEVER Doing This Again!!!

 I Actually HAVE Something to LIVE For!!"

Hahahahahahahaha!!!

<3 <3 <3 

One year, Bill and I conducted a Sale... in Cedar Rapids, we were Hit by a Snow, and Ice Storm.

We couldn't make it up the steep Hill, where The Sale was.

Had to park a block away, and have the Gentleman we were doing The Sale for, come get us in his Jeep.

{The 4WD wouldn't engage in The Gyspy, and Bill's Front Wheel Drive Van, wouldn't cut it.}

We figured it would be a very quiet day, at The Sale.

Nope.

; )

Folks Walked Up That Hill!!

WOW!!

<3

The Gentleman we were doing The Sale for... instructed us to give each Shopper a Five Dollar Bill, for Their Endurance!!

: )

<3

The Hiawatha Estate Family, went Above, and Beyond... keeping the drive clear, Snow, after Snow.

: )

Pal, Dale... picked Bill, and I, up... every day, which was AWESOME...

!!!

Climbing into a Warm Bronco every morning, and being 'Chauffeured'...

was a 

Gift, to me and Bill!!

Grateful!!

; )

The Shopper's were So Amazing!!

<3

The Best... of The Best.

; )

Meeting with The Estate Family, tomorrow, to get settled up, then...

we'll get The Clean Out scheduled.

The Sale... went Very Well.

There's a few things, we have on line, that we were surprised didn't sell.

The Beautiful Bed, Dresser, and Power Recliners.

but...

have Folks coming tomorrow, and Friday, to look at them.

: )

We're starting on another Estate Sale, that will be in Cedar Rapids mid January.

; )

Stay Tuned.

Son, Justin's... Sweetheart, Christy... sent me the above image, during The Sale.

<3

Romeo, all Nestled in a Haystack.... by The Weeping Willow, with The Chickens.

<3

{yes... They have Barns to shelter... but, Seriously??

What could be Better than Sleeping in a Mound of Hay??

Those Chicken's knew where to be. 

Romeo... is a Wonderful 1500 Pound Foot Warmer!!}

<3

Miss. Peanut... doesn't like it when I work long 'Sale' days.

: (

so...

I spoil her a little more, at 'Sale' times.

; )

Some of my Pals... who have lost their Beloved Pets, have decided to not bring 'another' Home.

They say... they can't travel, and are tied down... by having them.

I... understand.

but, 

for me, well...

: )

It's Sure Great Having Someone Who Loves Ya....

Waitin' at The Door, after a long day.

<3

and...

Spoiling Them,

for their

'Unconditional Love'...

as 

They Should Be!!

<3

Love to Ya...

Prayers for All.
