Pal, Don... and his Beautiful Wife, Karen, were conducting an Estate Sale in Homestead, Iowa, this weekend.
'Homestead' is one of the Historic Villages of The Amana Colonies.
It was a Lovely Sale, filled with Amana Treasures from the 1800's.
Everything had been in one Family, since the 1800's.
I'd hoped to attend earlier in The Sale, but between this crazy eye, and obligations... well, today was it.
I didn't leave empty handed. Managed to find some Early Iowa... 'Soulfulness'.
Love.
Above, is a snippet of the gatherings.
Love.
Had to bring the Big... Dolly home.
She and I share the Same 'Doo'!!
Hahahahaha!!!
Priceless.
There's Something... about the Victorian era, that always, always... touches my heart.
I tend to pick up Old Dolls, now and then.
Especially the Doll's that have been Much Loved.
Everything on this Sale, was pulled from an attic.
None of it had seen the light of day, for many, many...
Many, decades.
Another 'Lifetime', another 'World'.
Simpler... times, in many ways.
Difficult, and hard days... in others.
'Life'.
Had to laugh... when the below FB 'memory', popped up, yesterday.
Hahahahaha!!!
Can't Believe it's been 15 Years, since I posted it.
Lord!! Lord!!!
I must've been Frozen, from that Load, or... perhaps, had a little too much Wine, thawing out... before I posted the above.
Hahahahaha!!
Yes, I do... Normally, know how to spell 'apothecary'.
Hahahahaha!!
I'll Never Forget That Night... Loading Everything Into my 'New to me' 2001 Mustang, 'Sally'!!
Hahahahaha!!!
The Folks I'd bought from, that night... Way out in the Boondocks, were confident I'd have to come back with a 'Truck'.
For a moment, I thought so too.
Then... it dawned on me.
hahahahaha.
That Mustang Convertible top, might come in mighty handy.
Hahahahaha!!
Priceless!!
That's My Sally!!
She might be a 'Pony', but... When Needed, She's One Hell of a Workhorse!!
Love...
Love...
Love.
Here's the Funny thing.
I Bought Sally, all of those Years ago, from Pal, Don!!
Sally, was his Daughter's Car!!
Karen, and Don were disappointed that I didn't drive her, today.
Had to show them the above, image, and Assured Them... Sally's Still my Gal!!
'Family'.
Grandson, Justin... has been putting more miles on her, these days... than me.
{Justin looks so Cute Drivin' The Old Gal!!}
Love!!
{ Imagine!!! Justin 'J' was just a couple years old... when Sally came 'Home'!!! Gads!!
How in The Hell... Did THAT... Happen??!!}
GADS!!
Hahahahaha!!
The 'Old Gal', is in need of a Top, but... She Runs Great!!
{I was Just... pricing a 'Top' for Sally, a few days ago.
Holy Smokes!!!
That'll Put Ya Ta Sleep!!! GADS!!}
Hahahahaha!!
{We'll figure it out.}
{We Always... Always, do.}
Love to Ya.
Prayers... for All.
