if this isn't 'Muchnuss'.... I don't know... what is.

It's rained.... and rained... the last two days...

The tents are still up... can't do a thing with 'em... until it dries out...

Can't even sort and load... until it quits.

So... took a long hot bath... this morn.... and made a big pot of chili.

Paid some bills... made some phone calls... 

{more business... to tend to... that's been put on the back burner... without a moment to spare...from work... until this morning...}

Visited with Peg.... she is so weary.... just got done with her last transfusion... Her Daughter, Mel... is staying with her....what a Gift... she is...to Michael and Peg.

I had so wanted to go... to her... this week... but.... since we pulled the 'Encore' Sale... it's put me a week behind...

Now... I have to help Liz and Miss. Scarlett move... {back to the Little House... 

{that's a long...story...  my heart aches... for the Kids...and Miss. Scarlett... nothing I can do..or say... but, Love them All. }

then... I have to gather the remnants from The Amana Sale....

Then... maybe... I can sneak away...for a day... to see My Peg!

I'll be having an Open House... down the rabbit hole... the last weekend of the month... 

during Mid West and Collector's Eye Shows....

so... the rabbit hole... needs a Flip.

As... I was sitting here... processing.... what needs to be done....

watching the rain come down.... on this cold... dreary day...

a knock...  was at the door....

I ran outside... {cold...wet....ground... soaked... socks.... oh my... }

A young Man... was standing at another door.

I yelled to him... he came walking up.... 

He must have just gotten off work....

He was wearing a General Mills jacket....and cap...

I smiled... and asked him... what I could do for him....

He said... "I... just walked through your little shop.... : ) do you care if I look around... at the stuff out here?"... 

I said... "No... Help yourself! Normally... it would all be put away, by now... but with all of this rain... it's gonna be a day or two... : ) "... 

Before he turned to walk away.... he reached in his pocket... and pulled out a Twenty Dollar Bill....

and was handing it to me....

I'm sure I looked confused.... {because I was....}

He said...

"Oh... as I was looking through your shop... I saw this, laying on a book. : ) 

Ya know... a Dollar... is Hard to come by... these days..." : ) 

I... without thinking said...

"Don't I Know It!".... : )

then...realized what he was doing.... as he handed me the bill.....

then...

I...

Melted. : )

I Thanked him..over and over....

what a Kind... Honest...Soul.

<3

He had 'Muchnuss'...

{yes... I know it's spelled wrong... 

but... it is... what it is... the 'correct' spelling was taken...

 so... I settled with this... 

Three years ago...

It...seemed...almost... fitting.... 

in a way...

just...a little... 'tilted'...

Kind of like the Gnarly old... Chandelier....

hanging from the tin...roof... of the rabbit hole... : )

it seems....a little 'Stronger'...

a...little...

 'Muchier'... : ) }

I have said... for Years....

 Only Angels... come through the door... of the rabbit hole.

I...swear to you... this is true. 

I...feel so Very Blessed... to have had... such... Amazing People... come... and 'Shine'... a light... on so many... dark days. 

: )

Love to ya....
