Grateful... for 'The Mascots'.

; )

The Simply Iowa...

'Mascot'.

<3

{One... of many. ; )}

It's been a long... day.

Rather Toasty... for May, in Iowa.

I don't enjoy 'breakin' a sweat'... 

with such... little effort, this early in the year.

; )

When Jethro, and I... pulled in a bit ago, 

noticed the 

Little... Angel, again.

{He Always 'Greets' us, at the end of the day.}

<3

Found The Angel... in St. Augustine, several years ago... while traveling with Pal, Allyson.

: )

A few years ago, there were Men doing backhoe work, here.

They... sadly, hit the base, 'Pool' that 'The Angel' was standing in.

Made me pretty sad, until... I really 'looked' at The Angel.

: )

He's got a broken right arm...

Just... like Mine!!

: )

He's been Kicked in The Gut, too...

Just like Me!!

: )

He's got a Broken Wing...

: )

Just like Peg, and I... always said, 

'We, Too... Have!!'

<3

{Peg, and I... would Joke, and say... how 'Our' 'angel wing's'...

{if... we had them}

{Hahahahahaha}

were down to

 'Pinfeathers'.... Smokin'... Smoldering.... and Singed, from gettin' 

Way Too Close to The Gate's of 'Hell'.

; )

<3

Hahahahahahaha!!!}

; )

Most Folk's would see... a broken angel.

I... see a 'Warrior'.

<3

'Survivor'.

; )

To me... that 'Angel', is more precious, 

'meaningful',

than he was...

before, the backhoe's mishap.

; )

<3

; )

Indeed.

Love to Ya...

Prayers for All.
