Holy Cow!!!

'Holy Cow!!'

: )

<3

Above... is an an Old, Old... Cow Weathervane Directional.

: )

Found her Years ago.

<3

Was So Impressed by how Shot to 'Hell, and Back'...

 she was, yet...

somehow...

she

remained in

' One Piece'.

<3

She was mounted on a Beautiful Arrow.

So wanted to keep her, she kinda represented a few 

I've known, and Loved... throughout my life.

<3

but...

Business... is Business.

Took her to a 'Gold Rush' Show, Rochester, MN.

Before long a Man came through our Booth, and Snagged...

 'The Holy Cow'.

<3

As he held her in his hands, I said...

"Oh My!! : ) KNEW there'd be Someone like me, who'd Appreciate 'The Holy Cow'.

<3

Isn't She Incredible?!?! <3"

The Man looked at me, like I'd Lost My Mind!!!

: )

He said...

"I... don't want 'The Cow'... I need the Arrow for a 'Good' Cow, I have at Home. 

This one's junk... I'm just going to throw it away."

my heart... sank.

{almost... refused to sell 'The Holy Cow', to him.}

: (.....

 just stood there, sick... at heart.

: (......

Tried... and, Tried.... to help the Man... 'see' the 'Good' in 'The Holy Cow'.

; )

<3

It wasn't 'happenin'.

: (

Business... is business.

: (

sold....

 'The Holy Cow', to the Man.

: (

It bothered me over the entire show.

It bothered me... for Months.

: (

Kept thinking...

'The only thing that stood between The Holy Cow's demise, and the Man, was me.

: (

and,

I... caved'.

: (.....

Several months later, while setting up, again... at Gold Rush,

 a

 Man....

came walking up to me, holding a paper sack.

Knew I'd seen him before, but... couldn't quite place him.

As the Man... handed me the sack, he said...

"Here's a 'Present' for you."

???

Peeked inside the paper sack....

: )

about

Died!!

<3 <3 <3 

: ) : ) : )

It Was 'The Holy... Cow'!!

Oh My Lord!!!

: )

Priceless!!!

<3

Priceless!!!

: )

Asked the Man... how much I owed him.

<3

He, said... "Nothing. I know how Much... it means to you."

{oh... my Lord. <3}

: )..................

Was Beyond... Grateful, the Man... saved her, and... saved her, for me.

<3

: )

The Holy Cow... is one of my most 'Precious Gifts'.

I... think of The Kind Man, who Saved Her... for me, every single time my eyes rest upon her.

: )

<3

For The Love... 

of

'Old'.

<3

Pal, Bill... and I, met at the upcoming 'Estate Sale' today.

We did a 'walk through'.

Met with the 'Estate' holder.

: )

There's so much... that needs to be 'Finished' with the construction, yet.

; )

Assured The Estate, we'll be there for them, when it's completed, but... diving into it now, would be a mess.

One Day at a Time.

; )

Whipped up a kettle of Vegetable Barley Soup, when I returned Home.

It's Fragrance is Wafting Through The House, as I write.

: )

When I woke up this morning, it Finally... felt like Spring.

Sun... in The Early Morning.

Finally.

<3

Longer Days.

<3

Love to Ya...

Prayers for All.
