Junk Jubilee Day Two... Was Hoppin"!!
Had to laugh when I was leaving Home... yesterday morning for JJJ.
: )
I have NEVER Seen Such a Crop, growing on a bale of Straw... in November, in Iowa.
WOW!!
Hahahahaha!!!
The Sky was Very Cool, driving to Des Moines... yesterday morning.
The image doesn't come close.
Had to throw on another load, yesterday morning.
The booth, was very sparse.
It was very very Dark... after The Wreaths left.
So... with the last three Wreaths, grabbed a little Chandelier, too.
; )
Sold all of the Awesome Wreaths.
The three I brought yesterday sold within the first couple of hours of the show.
I really wanted to keep two, for Home... but, decided to bring them, and... if they sold, well... I wasn't meant to have them.
Farmer Friend, Lea... and her Lovely Daughter.... Lindsay, stopped by.
<3 <3
Lea showed me her Simply Iowa necklace, from Long Aga, that Sweet Friend, Marianne... created from Civil War era Iowa City newspaper clippings.
<3
: )
I'd forgotten all about them. Those were from another life.
Had to dig mine out... this morning.
<3
These Sweet Gals, took the last Wreath.. Home.
It was meant to Be.
The Gal on the right, who purchased it, is from Muscatine, Iowa...
exactly Where The Wreaths Are From!!
: )
Got the booth fluffed up, for the day... today.
: )
All of Hank's Beautiful Quilts... Sold, and went to Grateful Hands.
<3
{Pam, would be thrilled <3}
Hank's Dear Pal, Sue... was Such a Gift!!
She used to do Events, and... was Much Help!!
; )
Fun... Fun... Fun!!
; )
<3
The Show Is Still FULL!!
So Much Fun Stuff!!
; )
OPEN TODAY...
10 - 4!!
Love to Ya...
Prayers for All.

{Received an e-mail from Fairfax's Mayor... on Friday.
Kinda glanced at it. {been a little busy, this weekend.} It appears, she still didn't answer my specific questions.
: (
Can't understand what The Big Secret Is, concerning The Future Impact to our land, with The West Cemetery Road Bridge Project.
: ( : ( : (
They Have That Information, I'm certain.
The Mayor said we'll receive it at a later date.
I've been hearing That... for Far Too Long.
: (
Sent it on to Lawyer Meardon.
Grateful... for Him.
Maybe he can get some answers.
They sure aren't being transparent with me.
: (
oh... dear.
It seems, every time I do JJJ, there's Something Looming from IDOT, and Fairfax.
: (
Everyone I know, at JJJ has been following this mess, for Years.
They can't understand this, all of This... either.
: (
Grateful for Their Support.
<3
Grandson, Justin... won't be able to help load out, today... but, shouldn't be too bad. It's a pretty light load.
Grateful.}

Sadly... we came upon two ugly accidents, enroute to JJJ.
One... was in Bondurant, I... didn't capture images.

The second...
was on I-80.

Folk's were lined up... for miles.
{Prayers for All}

The Grace... of God, made it to JJJ, at 8 a.m. for The Early Birds.
: )
Don't have images of The Show... today...
because, my little android died.
Somehow... its charger was misplaced last night, at JJJ.
Believe...

The Ford... and me, were passed by an SUV,
{I Swear to God}

'Dist 6'

When I often refer to The IDOT, well...
'often',

The Iowa Department of Transportation...
'District 6'.

Gotta Get Some Sleep.
