A Dear Friend... called the other day.

He's a Clock Collector, like me.

: )

We go Way... Back.

He's bought several Clocks from me... over the years.

Many... I sure didn't like 'parting' with.

{Those Damned... Bills.}

; )

always... 

knew.

they were going to a Great Home, when he purchased them.

: )

My Pal, is 'thinning out'... his Collection, he asked me...

if I'd like to find 'Homes' for a few.

; )

Picked up... several, yesterday.

; )

The Above... Two, will be staying 'Here', with me.

<3

The Tall... Oak Kitchen Clock, is a Gilbert.

Late 1800's.

It's called 

'The Iowa'.

<3

My Pal... bought it from me, decades ago.

{That 'One'... was very Difficult to let go of. 

Very... Rare.}

<3

: )

So Incredibly Happy, It's found It's Way...

back,

Home.

<3

; )

The Gilbert, 'China', well...

I've never owned a 'China'.

They... are Amazing.

<3

I... won't let that one 'go', either.

<3

Grateful... to my Pal, for Blessing me, with it.

; )

The above...

Early, Grandfather...

was a consignment.

It didn't want to 'Run', when it was brought to The Rabbit Hole, but...

I played with it, over and over...

It...

Finally, became 'agreeable'.

; )

It found a Wonderful...

'Home'

<3

I'm no 'Clock Repairman', by any means...

but...

I like to 'play' with them.

; )

Old Friend, Richard Arnold, from Iowa City...

used to walk me through, the 'Old Clocks'.

<3

He helped me 'Troubleshoot', over the phone, often.

; )

Learned so much... from Richard.

<3

Richard... was a Gem.

; )

Love to Ya...

Prayers for All.
