Bike Carrier.

Brother in Law... Bill, was a Huge... Cyclist.

Bill, went on Many... Bike Rides.

; )

{Bill... didn't think a 'Bike Trail' next to 151 in Fairfax, or anywhere... on 151 between Cedar Rapids, and Amana, Iowa... was a good idea.

 In fact, Bill...

thought it was a 'Piss-Poor'....

 idea.

 Bill... couldn't understand 'what'...

'Fairfax', and The Iowa Department of Transportation... were 'thinking'.}

: (

in my...

humble opinion...

'they' weren't, but... 

a few others...

 'were'.

; )

: (

Thanks So Much... to Niece, Julie.

 RAGBRI 'T' shirts, today.

; )

for me...

it's the 'little' things, that mean... 

the

 Most.

<3

; )

The 'little' are so incredibly...

'valuable'...

; )

{I'm thinkin' Those Amazing...

Vintage...

 Iowa

The images... I wanted to post... were of the Upper Level...

{Garage... and Main Floor, comin'. : ) }

Load's of Kitchen... and, Garden... Tools.

Here's what I could post... on Blogger.

; )

There's a BEAUTIFUL... 1920's, 30's... matching Set of Bedroom Furniture.

Tallboy Dresser, Vanity... and Bed.

: )

The Bed... has an AMAZING Modern Mattress and Box.

; )

'Tall'.

<3

We ran across... the below... image, today.

Uncle Ted, and Dad.

; )

Dad... {right}...

{Marion W. Conner Sr., stood 6 feet Tall.

looking at the above image...

Pal, Bill... unearthed... today,

seems...

Uncle Ted... 

stood 

a little taller.

somehow...

my opinion, has changed, concerning 'uncle Ted'.

{uh... oh.}

; )

Bless his heart.

: )

Love to Ya...

Prayers for All.

Barb C.

Looking at Those Conner Boys.

oh my.

<3

Ted, was probably... about, 19, or 20.

Dad... 17, 18... or so.

I Gotta Tell Ya, They Look Pretty Tuff.

: )

Guessing the above image was captured, in the early 1930's.

Uncle... Ted, came back to Iowa... to visit, in the late 1970's.

He... chose to 'Bunk' at my place.

: )

<3

{I felt... Honored. : ) }

Uncle Ted... was a Character.

; )

{All Conner's are... I do, believe. ; )}

Ted, was nothing like Dad.

They... thought, and 'lived'... 

So Differently.

; )

Always felt Grateful... Uncle Ted, spent a little time with me, and, that I had the opportunity...

 to hear Uncle Ted's

'Memories'.

: )

Sure... wish, Uncle Ted... could've lived in his Brother, Marion's 'Memories'.

Somehow, I'm pretty... certain, Uncle Ted, wished that... too.}
