There's Always... Always, Something to be Grateful For. Always!!

Truth.

Visited with Pals Kris, and Joyce... the other day.

: )

'God's Country'

<3

Kris called, said Joyce was preparing for a Sale, wanted to know if I'd like to swing by.

Had an appointment with Dr. Fitzgerald, told Kris... I'd love to visit, after.

Needed an 'Escape'.

'A One Eye Escape'.

: )

Joyce, and I go Waaaaaaaay Back.

: )

I've known her Sis, Val... even longer.

{30 years, or so. <3}

Kris... is helping Joyce, pull an early October Sale, together.

I figured... it was one of Joyce's 'Barn Sales'.

Sadly...

to my surprise, it wasn't.

Rob, Joyce's Wonderful... Husband, passed away in July.

: (

I had no idea.

: (

Rob... was a Very Kind Man.

: )

He, and I had One thing in common, for Sure.

The Love of Fords, and Mustangs.

<3

We'd sit and visit, about our Mutual... Love Affair, when we crossed paths.

: )

The Sale... is in Rob's Shop.

{Will be}

I found a few things... in Rob's Shop.

<3

Mostly... 'Mustang' related.

: )

{Jethro is Loaded... with little Vintage Mustang 'Treasures' from Rob.}

<3

Kris showed me the baggie of old Matchbooks. 

: )

They are so Fun.

: )

Those Girl's were Workin' Hard.... 

Wish I would've been firing on all cylinders.

: (

Still... trying to catch up on no sleep.

This eye, is healing... but, it's still...

pretty 'blind', and sore.

'Angry'.

; )

still...

had to

 Escape.

: )

Couldn't stay, as long as I wished... but sure Enjoyed the Time We Shared.

<3

Was so busy, yesterday... with MPO/Fairfax/Bike Trail crap, and...

dealing with the 'Billing' at The 'U', 

9/11...

kinda slipped past me.

Was thinking about 9/11/2001, this morning.

: (

I think we all know, who were living... at that time, exactly... what we were doing, when We...

were

attacked.

: (

I... was sitting in my pink robe, watching GMA.

Sippin' my morning brew.

The Kid's had just got on the Bus, for School.

It was a Beautiful Morning.

until...

it wasn't.

: (............

I watched, in Horror, as did Everyone, with the announcement of the first plane hitting the WTC.

then,

we saw... Live, the second plane hit.

At that moment, 'We' all knew, this was no 

'Accident'.

: (........................

I called John, at The Shop.

Asked him, if he thought I should pick up the Kids, at School.

I... was Freaking Out.

Big Time.

John advised me to sit tight.

That... was Tuff.

: (

My eyes were glued to GMA, and the Special Reports.

Insanity.

: (......................

The Kids... were brought Home... Safely, but... The World Changed, forever...

on that day.

We must Never, ever... 'forget'.

Then...

a few years later, on September, 11.

<3

Another 9/11... I'll Never Forget.

: )

<3 <3 <3 

'Priceless'

Happy 11th. Birthday, Miss. Meadow Rain.

<3 <3 <3 

Always think of Farmer Friends, Lynn, and Lea, when I see these posts.

<3

Time... marches on.

Visited with some Dear Friends, today.

Loved Hearing Their Voices.

<3

Screens, are something I can't 'do'... these days.

I'm dilating my eyes, twice a day, so... 

screens, hurt.

; )

I'm not much of a 'texter', anyway.

Never have been.

I... Appreciate Hearing a 'Voice'.

Always will.

; )

{Grateful... for this 'excuse'. : ) }

There's Always, Always...

Something,

to be

Grateful

For!!

; )

Always.

Love to Ya...

Prayers for All.
