These are images from my Father's Estate Sale in Golden City, Missouri on

March 16, 2013....

my Mom used bowling pins to make these crazy dolls...

Bill's crew kept it movin;...

Ginger Nance, keeping everyone honest...

the auciton, that's my sister-in-law, Kim on the left,

and in the corner on the right, is my uncle Delbert,

that's about the time he looked at me and said,

"I can here him now", refering to my dad, "'It's not enough!"

...so true :-D

Furniture sale in progress

Picker going over the books & sheet music.

If I get time, to take the pics next time I'm up there,

 I'm thinking about doing a photo essay on what is

happening to the American Farm...

...I plan on driving within a 10-12 mile radius of my Dad's

town, Golden City, and see how many run down, abandoned & delapidated

farms I can find...and then show where the corporate farms have

cut down all the wind breaks, taken down all the fences (which are also wind breaks),

so they can squeeze a few more bushells out of the land by bringing the crop all

the way out to the property line...

didn't we learn ANYTHING from the great dust bowl?
