What Cheer Flea Market... What Cheer, Iowa.
Took the Loaded Ford...to What Cheer, today.
Set a partial booth.
Taking more...in the morning.
: )
Bought an 11 and half foot Harvest Table...from Pal, Mark...sight unseen, yesterday, as he was unloading at What Cheer.
Re-Sold it...before I had a chance to see...or, touch it...in Mark's Booth.
Things Move Fast...at What Cheer.
Was Grateful...for Friends, Wanda, Terry...and Lynn, for helping unload The Ford.
<3 <3 <3
Got the big stuff out, and set...sold, some fun stuff...bought...some fun stuff.
: )
{A Sweet little...Friend, bought the Steiff Bear. So Glad...he found such a Happy Home. : ) }
Found a Cool... Vintage...Seed Box, for Pal, Patti, and...a pair of Lovely....Church Windows, I could've sold, many times over....
but...Patti, has been asking for Church Windows...for a long time...
so, delivered those, and the old...Seed Box, to her...on the way Home, tonight.
: )
It was Great...Seeing So Many Friends, today.
<3
Market runs through Sunday.
I'll probably Bug Out...Saturday afternoon.
The Market is FULL...Wow!!!
TON's OF STUFF!!!
oh my.
Like I told another Friend, again...today,
"This Old...'Junk'...is Like Heroine...is, to a 'Junkie'..."
Hahahahaha.
It's True.
; )
Taking another Load...in the morning.
Hope to get some Smalls out, too.
It...was Crazy Windy....today.
Tomorrow...sounds Perfect.
Forgot...how Dusty, it is at What Cheer, on the Track.
oh my.
I feel like my body is nothing but Grit.
Love to Ya...
Prayers, for All.

{I've decided to keep... the Old...Mr. Boston Clock. <3
I...need to 'touch' it...for awhile. ; ) }
{heroine}
<3
Had 'Pains'...when I unloaded it, today...to put it out...for sale.
oh my.
; (
I Don't Have....a Clock...Like 'That'....One.
{have a hundred, Wonderful...Old....Clocks,
{maybe...more...; ) }
but...
not
'One'...Like THAT ONE!!!
: ) : ) : )
Hahahahaha!!!
oh dear.
Sick...
Sick...
Sick.
: ) }
It'll be for sale...
someday.
I...just Need...to Touch It...
Enjoy It...for awhile.
<3

{Brought it in...to the House, tonight...

Found The Perfect 'Place'...for it.

Irish Eyes.
Little Jack.
<3
He has his Grandpa Mitch's, and my Dad's....Marion Conner's...
Shocking...Blue Eyes.
<3
When these horrible 'accidents'...happen, in front of our Home...
that could have been, so...easily avoided, with a little common sense, from the IDOT, and Fairfax, City Hall...
I...see our Children, and Grandchildren, in the faces of the wrongfully...injured.
We All Should.
Take...Another Piece.
Posted below...a few comments, from a 'Fairfax' Social Media Page, when Folk's were commenting about what They...were seeing...and, hearing, after the last 'Accident'...on 151, 'Urban Area of Fairfax', near our Home.
'Altered'
People.
: ( : ( : (
It's about time...we stop calling these Horrible Wrecks, 'accidents', and call these Crashes, by their Correct Cause....instead.
'Reckless Endangerment'.
Warned Fairfax Mayor, and Council...
That's Exactly...What They Were Opening Up Fairfax, to...
when Their Suicide Trail...is done, and Folk's...begin to die.
That 52 Page Report, {That's On The Record} I handed each and Everyone...of Them...
Spelled It Out...
Clearly, in 2018.
Below...is the write up....concerning the last Crash...that I know of.
There's nearly...one a day, here...tho...like the Harley Rider, a couple of weeks ago, many...aren't reported.
I, knew the Young Man's name...after talking to his Friends, across the road, just after the Wreck...
but...
they, so...very sadly...asked me to please...not post his name, that night...
because his Wife...hadn't even been notified...yet.
: ( : ( : (
These Highway 151 Victims...have Family.
Loved Ones.
Friends.
: ( : ( : (
They All...Could Be 'Ours'.
That's Why...I've Fought So Hard....and, will Continue, Against Fairfax's, and The IDOT's...
Lack of Empathy.
Wrongful...
Reckless...
Decisions.
It's Laughable...that The IDOT, has The Nerve...to Tout,
'Safety is Priority One'.
: ( : ( : (
It's actually...
Nauseating.
{click on the below image...to enlarge.}
My Heart...Weeps, for The Truck Driver, as well.
He'll live with this...forever.
: ( : ( : (
Again...
It's not like the IDOT District 6, wasn't warned.
Over and Over and Over.
Fairfax City Hall...should've Been All Over This...
Long Ago.
They, Too...Knew.
Long...Long...Ago.
Deaf Ears.
Blind.
Heartbreaking.
I, sometimes... feel like the Velveteen Rabbit, with my hair falling out...loose in the joints, and...very...shabby.
Not much left, of who I once was....'before'...This Condemnation...
IDOT 'Project'.
and...
Fairfax's Wrongful...Suicide Trail.
5 years, beating my head...against 'The Wall',
Them.
Watching...Sadly...
everything I've warned them...long ago...that Would Happen,
come...
to Fruition.
One...by, Agonizing...One.
: ( : ( : (
With every forewarned mishap....
so goes...
a little piece of my heart.
I, am Very Grateful...for Those, who have ridden This Crazy Train, with me.
and...
somehow, are still holding on, too.
<3 <3 <3
Received a Very...Personal Call...
from Governor Reynolds Office, yesterday...concerning 'Jethro'.
<3
I, was so Impressed.
<3
: )
While I had the Wonderful...'Capital Girl'...on the phone, shared THESE Messes, with her...too.
She was So Helpful.
<3
How Refreshing...to Speak with Someone....who Listens.
Who...Cares.
Who...Has Empathy, and...Knowledge, of Where To Take This Mess, and Get Something DONE.
May God Bless Her!!
<3 <3 <3
She told me to Keep In Touch.
<3
That...I, Most Certainly...Will.
<3 <3 <3
: )
Been unloading Concrete...today, with Liz, Adam...and The Kids.
Heading to What Cheer Flea Market, to set up...in the morning.
Still, will be writing about Junk Jubilee...maybe...next week, now.
Seems, everything is on the Fast Track, these days.
but...
I, Do...want to share a Very Special...story, about a Very...Special...Girl, who is Beyond...Soulful.
<3 <3 <3
: )
I don't know the condition...of Jordan Brown, I won't watch the news.
Praying for Him, and His Loved Ones.
Praying...for the Truck Driver....too.
<3
I, Pray...for All...who Travel through Fairfax, on 151.
{always...always. }
I, hope...You, will...too.
Love to Ya.

Lives...Altered.
Was going to write a post...about Junk Jubilee, and the Journey, with The Kids...Friends...
The Insanity...of Showtime...
a little earlier,
but...
was sadly...so, very...sadly...distracted.
Life...was Altered.
The above picture...was taken while standing next to The Rabbit Hole, on the back side...
'Stallman Drive'.
I'm looking at a Horrible Accident, that happened on Highway 151, on the Prairie Creek Bridge, just...a hundred, or two...feet, from The Rabbit Hole.
Walked to the new, poorly designed...intersection...of Stallman, and 151, below...
as the Helicopter...was coming in to airlift...a young Man, who was tragically injured, in this horrible wreck.
I heard two Men...across Highway 151, talking...
{The Highway was shut down...it was 'Silent'.}
I, could hear...much, of what they were saying...tho, they were far away.
They both...know the young Man.
'Victim'.
: (
They'd been...Forever....Altered.
: ( : ( : (
As I was walking....sobbing, I'd...also, been sadly...altered.
A Neighbor...walked up to me, shaken...asked if I knew what had happened.
He'd...been altered.
Every Deputy, and First Responder...at this scene...had been Altered.
The Young Man, and the other Driver...have been Forever...Altered.
Their Families, Loved Ones...Friends, Co-Workers....
every single one of them...
have been
Forever...
Altered.
Even, the Folks...reading this...have been altered.
: (
It was just a few weeks ago...I stood in our east driveway, next to 151,
{that...I don't use...now...because of this 'Project'. It's far too dangerous.}
with 4 Men...from The IDOT, and...our Lawyer.
Directed my thoughts, to Newman...from District 6, who...is watching over, and has Engineered
THIS.
Newman, and I...have went 'Round...and 'Round.
: (
I, told Newman...as we all stood there, watching The Insanity...on 151,
"This Highway...never should've Opened....to Through Traffic, until this Project was Completed."
It's Insane.
There's been nearly an 'Accident', a Day...here.
I, will tell you, That Biker...from a couple of weeks ago...was Altered.
Like...Justin's Customer...a month back, who was involved in a Head On...Crash, at the other end of our property, {West Cemetery Road } on 151, with my Long Time Friend...Emmett.
: ( : ( : (
They've All...Been Altered.
Everyone...who Knows...Loves...Cares, about Them...
have been
Altered.
Accident's are going to happen.
We all...know that.
But...This Stretch...of 151, is Down to NARROW Lanes.
Horrible...Horrible...Visibility.
Heavy Truck Traffic.
Heavy...Traffic Counts, from All Vehicles, since The IDOT District 6...Opened'er Wide Up.
The Odds Are High for Horrible Crashes.
They Knew That.
So...Does Fairfax City Hall.
It...shouldn't be me...Begging, Fighting.
It Should Be...Our Leaders.
sadly...
like, District 6, they....have their Head's...in other places.
I keep thinking about the email...Jim Schnoebelen...from District 6, sent to me...concerning Fairfax's Trail.
I asked him...if he'd read our 'Agreed Upon', 'Recorded Agreement', concerning there being 'No Accommodations'...for a Trail...on the Bridge, or any of the land...taken from us for this project.'
????
His reply...I'll quote.
"I'm familiar with the provision"
: (
yet...
District 6, went on...took our land....
'Wrongfully'...Breached Our Recorded Agreement...
and Built Fairfax's Suicide Trail...
Anyway.
: (
I didn't fight this Battle, solely...for the Loss...of everything John worked his life...away for.
I've been Fighting This...with Heels Dug In, and Fist's...Swingin', when I learned Fairfax, and IDOT District 6, Planned to Encourage Children, Pedestrians...Cyclists...Next To One of The Most Dangerous Stretches of Highway...151, 'The Urban Area of Fairfax'
{where I've lived...for 40 years.}
According to The IDOT's Independent Safety Study...conducted by The University of Northern Iowa.}
{The IDOT...could've saved a lot of money, by simply...sitting down with us, over coffee.
: (
We, know what This...Stretch of Highway...is capable of.
It's a Killer.
Things fly off...of vehicles...daily.
We...clean it up...daily.
Most of Those... 'things'...might dent a car.
Many...of 'Those' Things...would easily Kill...a Human.
Guess...The IDOT, Truly...didn't want to Know.
{Fairfax City Hall Folks...Knew All Of This. : (
THEY...Live Here...Too. : ( }
Sometimes...The Truth...Hurts.
{Messes Up...Plans. ; )
Common Sense, has a way of Messing Up...'Plans'...too, I've learned.}
I'll post a video below...of two pieces of Concrete...that bounced off of a Dump Truck, next to The Rabbit Hole, on 151, exactly Where...The IDOT District 6, Wrongfully Graded for Fairfax's Wrongful...Trail.
I parked The Ford, next to them...that day...and waited for The Sheriff...to come help me move them.
Had anyone run over them...in a vehicle..well...it wouldn't have been pretty.
Understand...
District 6...Knows Better.
Fairfax, City Hall...
Knows Better.
There's Not ONE of Them...who can honestly...say...over the last 5 Years, They Didn't Know...or...
Wasn't Aware.
Most of You...reading this, can Vouch....for that.
: (
'Altered'.
; (
I've been sitting here...Praying, for the Young Man.
His Family.
Friends...
Everyone.
I...Pray, You...Will Too.

<3
Had several...Blog Followers come through, and offer their condolences...
concerning The Rabbit Hole, and what The IDOT District 6, and Fairfax, City Hall...have Wrongfully Done to us.
Several...have driven past, wishing...hoping...it was Open, only to find...the Reasons Why...it's not.
They...were Heartbroken, to see...how wrongfully It's....been butchered, for Fairfax's Trail.
{Unless you See It...in Person, well...even pictures can't begin...to describe the Wrongfulness.}
Junk Jubilee...is Amazing.
'Soulful'.
Micca, {Promoter} and her Family...Are Too.

Junk Jubilee...Day One. {Two ta Go }
The Ford...and me, just found our way Home.
The last 50 miles, of the hundred and thirty mile half trip...
I do believe...
The Ford...
was on Auto Pilot.
; )
oh my....
{needed 'Toothpicks'...to keep my eyes open.}
Hit the snooze button, several times this mornin'.
Didn't roll out of the Sack....until 4:40 a.m.
Then...
I was racin' around here...taking care of Peanut...
and gathering things...I needed to take to Des Moines.
{Junk Jubilee ; ) <3}
{Peanut...who Loves Mama's Bed, So Much.}
When I got Home...so late, last night....
and she'd been So Good, I let her go to Bed...without me.
{about 20 minutes...before me.}
When I stumbled into bed...I noticed...
my 'Memory Foam' Mattress...is just 'That', now........
a
'Memory'.
; )
Think.... Peanut... was Frustrated with Mama...for being away,
So...
took those 'Frustrations'...out, on Mama's Mattress.
Hahahahahaha!!!!
Picked up all of the shredded mattress...chunks, bailed into a now...Concaved...Bed...
Boots On,
and....truly, didn't give a damn.
; )
oh...my.
When I was letting Peanut outside, this Morning....
I noticed John's 'Baby' Cat...had done a Dirty Deed, downstairs.
: (
oh my.
So...
while Peanut was Doin' Her Thing...I, was cleanin' up a Mess.
Then, being 'Late'...Gettin' Up...
I...was Flyin'!!!!
Hahahaha.
Left Home...without my Phone, Music...{Bose Speaker} and, about 20 miles down the Road, discovered...I'd left my 'Lighter'....behind.
: ( : ( : (
Now....I,
can get along...without my phone, and...music, but.....
NOT Without A LIGHTER.
: )
{These 'Days'...are 'Smokin' Days, If Any Ever...Are.}
; )
The Only Place...I could Quickly...Grab a Much Needed Lighter, was at The Meskwaki Gas Station...another 30 miles ahead.
remember thinking....
I'd better move Fast, grabbin' a Lighter...after all....I was Runnin' Late.
It reminded me...of when I used to run 'Games'....at Horse Shows.
Barrels, Pole Bending...Rescue Race.
; )
Whipped The Ford In Tight.... Next to The Door, of That Convenience Store...
{ Not sure...The Ford, Ever...came to a Complete Stop...before I was Bailin' Back In!!!}
{'Time' That One....Boys. : ) }
Hahahahaha...
oh...my.
; )
The Ford....had Wings, like Always, this Mornin'.
<3
I ran in the door, of Junk Jubilee...with 30 minutes...to Get Everything DONE.
Hahahahahaha!!!!
oh my.
; )
When The Doors Opened, at 8...
The Race Was On!!!
Crazy Busy!!!
; )
Sold Many Pieces of Big Furniture...
which meant...
I had to Destroy...The Booth.
Turned It UPSIDE DOWN!!!
Hahahahahaha.
oh...dear.
; )
Didn't leave the Booth, once... until Closing Time....at 5 p.m.
; )
oh...my.
; )
It was Great....to See Everyone!!!
Special Thanks, to Bart, and Denise...who were Strollin' through the Show, and Helped me Move Some Mountains.
<3 <3 <3
It was Great...Seeing Folks So Excited...to Be Out.
We Need This.
<3
No Images, today...had no phone.
Hopefully...
Tomorrow, will be a little less Stressful.
Hahahahahaha...
{I'm not puttin' Money...on it. ; ) }
Love...to Ya.
Prayers...for All.

Headin' to Des Moines...in The Mornin'. 'Junk Jubilee, at The Fairgrounds. April 23-25.
The above...Old...Old, Cupboard...came rollin' in..this Evening.
Pal, Kevin...brought it to me.
: )
It's an Iowa Cupboard...all square naileed...with original finish.
<3
Love...how Tall...and Narrow, it is.
<3
It's a Charmer.
It'll be at Junk Jubilee.
; )
When Kevin and I...brought it inside the packed...Greenhouse, we frightened a Dove, that's nesting...there.
She got trapped, in a corner...behind another...Old....Cupboard.
: (
I, spent a half hour...unloading the Cupboard, and moved it...so the Little Dove, could find her way...to freedom.
<3
I, So Love...Doves.
<3
{All...Birds, and Critters. <3 }
After getting that Cupboard, all cleaned out, figured...might as well...throw it on the Load...in the Morning...too.

{I want to follow up...on something I wrote about...yesterday, concerning John.
I'd written, how he'd 'hurt'...me, early...in our relationship.
We...had a very quiet, but...to the point, conversation...about it, at the time.
Best Thing...that could've happened.
There were Three Things, I'd told John...I'd not Stand for...when we first decided to take our Friendship...to the next level.
One...
Don't ever hit me.
I'd never been hit, by a man...
{that I...didn't Swing at First. ; ) }
I, wasn't about to be.
Two...
Don't Cheat on me.
I'll find out, and You'll walk with a Severe Limp. Forever.
Three....
Don't ever lie....to me.
I'll find out.
I'll be gone.
Trust...is Everything.
John, and I...rarely argued...about anything, during our nearly four decades together.
Only two, or three times...in front of our Children.
{We Both....agreed, That...was a 'No, No.'}
We never Cheated, on each other. Not...Once.
Not...Ever.
{We all Know This...because, I told John...from Day One...if he ever Cheated on me...
I'd break his knee caps, and he'd walk with a Severe Limp...the Rest of His Days.
<3
John...walked Perfectly...his entire life. : ) }
but...early on, long...before our Children were born...
he Fibbed...to me.
It...wasn't about much, really...but, that's something...I won't stand for.
He knew that.
I, can handle the Truth....no matter what it is, we'd work through it.
<3
but...
when someone...'Fibs'....that you are Trusting...with Your Life...Wellbeing...Your Heart, that's...a problem.
at least...it is, for me.
Trust...is Everything.
When I posted 'Three Better Words than 'I Love You', are 'I Trust You'.
I mean it.
Always....always...have.
John learned...I'm not a good person...to Fib...to.
I...Always Find Out.
Always.
Then...'Hell's Comin' to Breakfast.'
back...then, It Did.
That's when I told...him, what I posted...yesterday.
The night...I ditched Jethro, I was Trying to Figure Out...HOW, I could get him Fixed...before John saw him.
: )
Begged my Pal, that was with me...Not To Say a Word!!!
then...
when I pulled in the drive, around midnight....coming from a Client's Home...near the Mississippi River...
walked straight in the House...Woke John Up... and Insisted...He Come Look at The Damage!!!
{It crossed my mind...Big Time, to not tell John, which...would've been a lie.
I, couldn't do.... it. No Way. }
I heard from Family...later...John was Mad...as Hell, at me.
but... he never showed it, to me.
<3
{I, wish...he would've...I Felt So Bad. : ( }
Told John...I'd Pay For Everything...and, promised to never drive Jethro...again.
John, turned to me...and said...
"If you aren't going to drive Jethro....I'm just gonna sell him. Your choice."
<3 <3 <3
I explained...to John, after those first...Fibs, he'd better learn to tell me the Truth.
Don't try...to 'save'...me, just...be Honest.
We...Can Deal...with Honesty.
<3
It makes me laugh...a little, thinking about what John would be saying now...
watching what the IDOT District 6, and Fairfax....City Hall, have Stepped with Both Feet...Into, with me.
oh dear.
: )
John, knew better than Anyone...
that...I, simply....don't 'Take Lies'...Well.
; )
hahahahaha.
oh my. }
