~Frosting~

We have frosting out side this morning..and it was only 25

degrees..or -2 C. Thats what I call when the ground is all white

and sparkly in the sun as it comes up..the trees, ground all the

rooftops..its really kinda pretty. Any live flowers still going like mums

I bet bit the dust though..thats not real warm..I took the 2 photos,

I wish that screen wasnt there..thats what makes the picture grainy,

the windows are painted shut on the inside here.. I wish they could be

opened, but I think that would be a big job. there are 2 windows in

every room so..only 8 in this house. I think once the windows

are covered right..and sealed it will nothing to heat these 4 little

rooms..There should be some sort of weatherization program ..
My friend Gray informed me on that..So I will make some phone

calls about that.. I dont mind doing what ever I have to do to

get what I really need.. Im not one to take something or do some

thing that wont benefit me just for the sake of taking or because

its free.. If I dont need it..well I wont take it..let those that DO need

what ever it is get it..Look at the ground and you can just see the

frost that was out there, I wish you could see the sparkles. This

is just a light frost..

I know I sure am ready to get my power chair up and running. This

carpet is killer..I dont know when they plan to get the runners..but

as thick as this carpet is..I dont know if that would work either..I

think the bare floor is best..Only ones walk around here in their

bare feet are the boys..and I dont think cats notice if their feet are

warm or not.. Funny. I dont have feet, legs..and they have never

seen me with any..but when someone comes here? LB is bad

about rubbing on their legs..or sticking his head in their shoes if

they take them off..He loves feet..lol..My sister in the summer time

wears these open toed sandals..LB sees her toes..and he takes

his little cold wet nose and tries to push it between her toes..drove

her NUTZ lol...he wouldnt stop..she laughed..she doesnt wear

sandals here much tho anymore either.. Stanley,,, well hes not

the greatest animal lover..he Tolerates them ..my cats especially,

he knows he has NO choice and better be nice or my sister will

RAG on him ALL the way home lol.. he did once..made the mistake

of picking Dutch up by his tail!!! I came unglued.. He was very

small..but still.. I got so mad.. I locked both cats up and told Stanley

I was protecting HIM...he mess with my boys again he was in

big trouble.. I could hear my sis just giving him all kinds of crap

about "WHY did you TOUCH that CAT! , you KNOW how she feels

about them STANLEY!!!" lol..Its funny now, back then, I was mad..

BUT I KNOW he heard it all the way home as well lol..tell him

Shirley lol... ;-)

She and I are really surprised how much we are alike even though

we hadnt been raised together and didnt meet until we were in

out 30's.. She loves to sew and craft..I do too..we are both very

accomplished seamstresses..we each have our own style you

could tell whos work is whos, we are both creative..and neither

of us..take CRAP..Ask the utility people in Elkhart..lol They knew

us both, specially the phone company for awhile it was bad..

I had to call about the bad way they installed my phone..I was

really mad,they said I should have watched the installer to make

sure he put that box thingie where I wanted..Ok..that was MY job?

no I dont think so..but the thing was..what made me so mad..is

this moron put that box thingie so I couldnt close my basement

door !!! now? HE didnt know enough to NOT put it there? Well
I called and this lady I talked to .was in the local office.. My sister

happened to be in there at the same time and this lady says..

"Some customers are just SO hard to please..never satisfied"

my sister could see the screen on her monitor,, saw it was ME,

her sister, this clerk person was talking about ..lol yeahhh.. My

sis says .."I hate to tell you this.but you should not be talking

about customers like that to another customer especially when

the one you are complaining about is my sister... " the woman

looks at Shirley , turned 4 shades or red and blue , excused

herself and left, another lady came and finished helping my

sister..LOL.. True story..lol..She is just like me..People need

to do their jobs..and do them right..and she is the same as

me with the "HEY..lets do this NOW" shes good.. I would put

her photo here but I didnt ask her..but i will, shes a good

sister..very good..I would be lost with out her ..Shes the one

stuck with me those 2 years of hell..came every week end, even

when I didnt know it or remember it.. she was there..shes one

of my blessings.. I may have them all named by tomorrow..I

dont know..im close but they dont stop..so I guess I cant name

them all can I? :-)

I made some killer sauce yesterday, like a spaghetti sauce, then

cooked it on low..its so nice at my little lower work area there in

the kitchen! Its not bad at all...My wheelchair fits up under close

to the table..and I dont have the pan in my face.. Today I added

elbow macaroni and corn to the sauce and cooked it for a

few more hours and made like a goulash.. its very good. Penny

was here today..let me tell you is my house getting cute.the kitchen?

I first saw that deep dark royal blue I said OMG..what the....and I

did NOT like it.. NOW? I do..lol...the darkness of the walls..the bright

white of the trim, doors and cabinet, windows..then I have the

yellow..bright yellow, curtains are small yellow and white gingham

check. . cute? yeahhh it is.. I happened to have a little thingie of

silk flowers of daiseys..one of my favorite flowers.. I had so many in

my garden..all heights.. I put those in a white vase, then I put the

same material table cloth on the table..I found a picture thats blue,

with daiseys..hung it above the table, you see.. Now..DONT look

at the white line still there lol..well I just didnt want to tackle the

paint thing again..but I will tomorrow..so look at that photo and then

you can see one tomorrow where the line is gone..just to prove
