Ding Dang Doozie Deal!!!!!!!!

I've been made the butt of many jokes about my yard sales fettish...Well--lookie here to the left:
Dale Earnhardt Jr.  ELVIS  1/24 car;unopened,unused, 2007 issue.  Sprint Cup, diecast








                                                       
I went on EBay just checkin!! lol
It is worth $59.99 (in condition I bought it)!!!!

That sucker cost me....wait for it....50 cents & I have a Witness to the purchase....lol

The backstory - Woman related to me that her husband told her kids he wanted one. All 3(THREE) kids purchased him one as a gift!!!!!!! hahaha  Now, he still has 2 on hand. I asked her & him, will I be attacked as I leave if I give you the 50cents?? lol  They both assured me the purchase price was ok. Even more strange -- today is Sat. and this collectible sat there ALL day Fri. and no one inquired or asked about it....DUH!


My intentions were to buy it for my SWEET sis-in-law who collects ELVIS item & LUVs him. Worst case was that she wouldn't be interested and Lamar could add 1 to his car collection. Well, sis likes the idea of it, so she WILL be receiving this --- simply because I LUV her.


Lesson learned: always ask questions, you may SCORE a bargain....lol

Porch BABY....

Image
Walked out on porch this morning, enroute to my car. Noticed a bird, perched on the top of the screen door. Upon further inspection-----it was a BABY! It's lil feet firmly attached to the screen and backed up into the corner as tightly as possible! I tried thumping the screen to "shoo" him on...didn't work. Then, open & closed door...didn't work. It would just squeel sorta! and remain in place! I went on outside (w/camera, ofcourse)...no movement frm that attached stance. It's lil feet were firmly attached. I tried prodding gently w/broom handle....nothing! I knew it was a baby, it's lil eyes were only slightly open. Went back on porch and put on my softest gloves. Went out and gently removed it frm it's perch grip....boy did it fuss at me loudly! I know it was scared. Took the fella out and tried to place it on a bush limb. When I let go....it flew....not well, but it did fly off. It came back toward higher branch & lit there. Aft...

the "REST OF THE STORY"......

Image
I did soooo Love Paul Harvey. His stories were always so interesting.....and, he researched to bring a story to an often unknown ending. The "rest of the story" always let ya know.....the circle was closed on that topic for him. In that fashion....I wanted to do this blog. I love photography. I'm quite a happy amateur! Now, with Pinterest I get to see unlimited talent. This picture was one that "drew me in"....After I pinned it.....there were like 30+ other people who loved it too! This picture received the most pins on my boards. Just look at it....Never did try to track down the photographer. Only went as far as where the pin originated. Browsing pinterest boards is a fun pastime. I enjoy "following" pictures/quotes and such as far as I dare. In browsing.....I "fell into" a site. The photographer is TIMOTHY WALKER. A very eclectic range of photos. Behold! There was this picture among them. I gasped! (He has several other photos...

MEMORIES.....of Evonne

Image
Isn't she beautiful? Such an ol' soul w/a very sweet spirit about her. This is a difficult blog to write....LIFEtime/Sista friend, and "Auntie" Evonne. It is one I must write for me. Tears already falling....it's still very raw. We spent so much quality time together thru our years. Friends, school chums, and then....she married my Uncle Herman. Wow! Now she was "legally" a member of our family. How wonderful! Our lives were so intertwined....and will always be that way. There  simply is no way to express all we shared in this blog! Evonne SHARED so very much w/me. At the top....her dear Mother....Miss Louise. Miss Louise was a friend, mentor and 2nd mother. She treated me as her own daughter. I MISS her so very much, and now, I MISS Evonne, too. As Donnie said....it SUCKS!! Evonne also SHARED her beautiful daughter--Bonnie, and her 2 grandkids. I am unable to clearly express the love and fun those 2 kids have brought to my life. All 3 of them w...
