Beetlejuice - It's Showtime

Tammy Wynette - 'Til I Can Make It On My Own

Tammy Wynette / You'll Never Walk Alone (Vinyl)

Birthday.... history.

I'd forgotten... it was my Birthday... until... I received a call... from an old Friend.... this Morning.

Too Busy.

and... honestly... I really don't care... for 'birthdays'...anymore.

I made Deliveries... and Pick Ups... today... spent the entire day... in The Ford.

{My Birthday 'Selfie'... was drivin' down the road. My 'Happy Place'... these days. : ) }

I... must have fractured... my foot... somewhere... along the way....

I could barely use the clutch... by this evening.

Let alone... walk.

I have it elevated...on ice.

oh... my. : )

yes....

It's Showtime!!!

: ) : ) : ) 

We Bug Out.... for Rochester, MN. in the Morn.....

Gold Rush!!!

Liz and Miss. Scarlett... are coming... : ) 

Justin, Katie... and Little 'J'... are watching over Polly... John's Cats... Scout...the Fish...and the House. : ) : ) : ) 

We have to load the Ford... in the Morn...then... head North.

I...took a bath... and soaked... bright and early... this morning.... 

Counting all of my Blessings.

but....

oh my... there were times...throughout the day....while bouncing down the road...

 I looked back... over this year....

and... all I could think of... 

was...

 What a Sickening... year... it was... and... how Much....

I wish... I'd never lived to see any of it.

Then...I thought back.... to this morning....

and... The Blessings.

: )

My Parents... Family... Friends... Beloved.... Critters....
and... the Folks... I may never... know, on this Earth...

who... have always 'Been There'... : )....

Those.... who....

Carried... me... and Mine... through some of the Darkest Days... of theirs......

and... my life.

May God... Bless... each... and Every... One... of You.

You... are my.... 'Gift'...

Priceless... Gift.

Angels.
We Never... walked... alone. 

Love...to You...

Barb C.

{The second video ... I posted... has been my Favorite song... forever.
{The Beetlejuice.... one... speaks for itself... if... you've watched the Movie. : ) }
I remember... when I was 15... living in a tiny... old trailer... with my Dane... Dolsey.... {Beloved...Best...Friend. }and.... playing this song... over...and over.... on the old record player : )
I...Loved Tammy... back then.. too.
: )
but... the lyrics... hit home... seems... some things.... never change.
like...
the second tune.
That... is a 'Gift'... Knowing... we...never... walk... alone. : ) }

Katy Perry - Roar (Official)

Roar....

My Peg.....

The Mad March Hare.... came to visit the rabbit hole.... today.

: )

What a Gift.... that was. : )

She brought me two things... from her Dad.

One... is an Old... Cast Iron... Horse Bank....

the other...

is a Pig Pincushion. : )

Gerald... was an Antique... Collector. 

: )

The Best.... Gift... was spending a few.... moments... with my Best... Friend.

It was strange... not seeing Chloe... with her.

oh my...

We were both... so tired... today.

Peg has been helping her Daughter move....

she was worn out...

I... am just a 'slug'...

so... we're like two peas... in a pod. : )

It was a Good... day. : )

I captured the below images... the other day....

of Miss. Scarlett.

: )

She had quite a time... with Nicky.... and a Hill of Grass.

: )

oh my. 

The next several weeks... are going to be... insane....

to say the very least.

Gold Rush... this weekend....

then... RUN! RUN! RUN!!!!

{I have to cover Hundreds... and Hundreds... of Miles....

after Gold Rush....

then... cover...pull together... every inch.... here.....

until... the Memorial Day Weekend Sale.

{sigh....}

I struggled... so... with having the Memorial Day Weekend Sale....ever again.

It was... that Sunday... last year.... May 25th.... we lost John... during the Sale.

I know... what John... would say...

"Git 'er Done....: ) "....

even so.... I still... struggle.

oh...my.

but.. I am... gonna 'Git'er... Done'.... and Give it... All I Have....

oh my............

I'm going to dedicate this, and Every... Memorial Day.... Weekend...Sale... to Him. 

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

Yes... I'm Calling in.... The Angels... with Prayer. 

Love... to ya, 

Barb C.

{I had to play... 'Roar'...for Miss. Scarlett. 

She was singing this... as I..... 'Roared'.... watching her...

'Roar'... and sing this tune... as she climbed... and rolled... 

then...

climbed... again.

oh my.

been there... 

; ) }

<3 <3 <3 

Sister Rosetta Tharpe: That's All

oh my.... what a day.

It was an interesting day.....

had... many... 

Wonderful... 

Visitors.

: )

{It was Great... meeting the Two Sisters....from Wisconsin and Idaho.... 

 {My Biggest... Fans.... from Blogger. : ) }

I was a Mess... worn out... wearing the same clothes... I've worn... for three days.... 

{yes... a Real... Goddess. : ) }

oh my.... : )....

somehow... they understood... me, and the rabbit hole. 

{wish I would have taken Images of them... they were... Darling. : ) }

I moved mountains... today. 

{inside... oh my... what a fiasco. }

Near the end...of the day... about 7..... just... as dusk.... was setting in....

{ as I was 'man handling'.... 'dancing'... a Tango... with a Big... Wing Back... Chair... 

through the rabbit hole's narrow.... passages...........}

I was surprised... by the little Girl... above. 

: )

{I didn't expect... visitors... that late in the day. : ) }

She was...totally... 'taken'... by the rabbit hole. : )

I kept working....

she... kept... winding her way through.....

over..and over. 

{inside... and out. } 

: )

She asked... "Is... this where you live?..... Is... this... your House?"...

: )

No....

It's my Sanctuary....

 : )

She said... "I... would live here... : ) I Love.... this..... : ) "....

{too.... cute. : ) }

{oh...my.... I so wish... it was... like I want it to be. 

I...simply don't have the energy... to pull it all together.

I...am... 

slowly...

so...

slowly.... putting it back.... together. }

The little Girl's name... is Jodi. : )

She was such a Gift... Like the 'Sisters'... 

: )

{really...everyone... who popped in.... today... was.  : ) } 

Everything... is so.... chaotic....

upside...down.

To have them... and several others... come through... and... be so... : )....

 so....

: )

Wonderful...

was truly... a Gift. 

: )

It's kind of funny... when I think of the Folks... who 'fell down the rabbit hole'.... today.

Some.... were older....{one.. Lady... was in her mid 70's.... : ) }

 some... were...younger,

 yet.... they all... said... the same thing.

Through... all of the chaos....

they... 'understood'... it.... 

and...

Loved it. 

: )

Angels.

: )

Liz and I... unloaded the Ford... this morning.

I had 6 grinding stones.... 3 are left.

The 'Heart'... rollers... are Haunting me.

I...almost... sold them... today.

oh my.

I'm hoping I can sell enough this weekend... that I can pull them back.

oh my....

I absolutely... love them.

<3 <3 <3 

Love to ya...

Barb C. 

{Peg is hooking up with me... on Monday. : ) 

We...are going to take the day....

"Did you sell it....? say... No.... "

The first... didn't get back to me...today..... so... I made the 'Second'... Very... Happy... just now. : ) }
