~I'm Early Cuz I'm Tired~


You should smell it in here.. I put on a pot of brats and sauerkraut
with potatoes and onions..it smells so good..I have been hungry
for sauerkraut for ages.. I dont even remember the last time I ate
any.. I love it..any kind of cabbage ... even red..I have a recipe for
sweet and sour red cabbage, It is SO good..was my mothers, and
I think she got it from my grandmother. There are not alot of things
better than good food lol... :-)

I have lots of recipe books that were hers.. I consider those the
most valuable part of her that was left to me..She took the time
to write who she got the recipe from..and whether or not it was
any good.. and trust me..they are all tried and tested and THE
very best.. Some of her books go back to the 20's. I look at some
of them from when I was there and recognize all the ladies names
from the womens club or the ladies aid...They had meetings at
each members house and of course only the very best had to be
served and the best china, silver etc..It meant alot to my mother
and I had to be on my best behavior and help ..I did..I didnt mind
at all getting all dressed and helping to set the table just perfect
and getting out all her delicate dishes and tea service..Then to
taste all the wonderful things she would make for lunch..always
something different..and of course EACH lady HAD to try to out
do the other lol..

Today was a nice day..ickky outside..nice in here.. Yup..I woke up
happy again but I got up happy at 430 lol..kinda early..but I knew
Donnie was coming over and I needed to think of what I would
like him to do.. I dont like to borrow him too often hes got so much
of his own stuff to do..he has his own house..alot bigger too~!~ but
he always finds time..hes a good kid..He's kinda pleased he has
2 moms too lol :-) and of course he had to taste the blueberry
doughtnuts and the sauerkraut I dont know how much he ate. :-)
He brought Jerky with him.. Hes a gorgeous animal..but very
hyper ...Dutch and LB were not happy ..specially LB when he saw
Jerky carrying his girlfriend in his mouth..Talk about a mad cat !
I yelled at Donnie to get that thing,, LB was heading at him, all
teeth and claws..lol.. this place is NOT big enough for a cat
and dog fight ..lol.. Donnie put up my mirror and curtains in the
bedroom, fixed my shower chair and brought up 3 boxes from
the basement, he did good.. One of my mirrors has disappeared.
The biggest one I had over the couch..I cant believe they left it..
I dont remember seeing it on the wall when I left..but its gone..
Donnie looked all over the basement.. It looks kinda nice as you
can see its the smaller one that was on the desk.. I plan to put
pen and ink drawings I did on that wall..I already have in my
head what I will put there. I just propped a picture there now..
the mirror...Its not done I'll put some other stuff there by it... The
photo of the bedroom didnt show up very well because of the
sun...my windows face south and west and east.. I get alot of
light in here which I love.. I hate dark and drab.. I may cover
my windows ..but with light ..not heavy stuff and I love to see
out of them..why I have the mini blinds.. I can open and close
them. I dont know why only half the photo loaded..Im not good at
this stuff so I didnt mess with it..but you can see the top of the
desk now.oh I hung a swag over the chair its really pretty..brass
leaves with burgundy flowers.. MeowMeow is up there hidin
from Jerky lol ...


We both worked hard and he laffs at me everytime I cuss
when Im having a hard time rolling on this carpet, says "Whats
the matter Gran,, gettin OLD?" lol stinker.. I tell him he should
wish hes in as good a shape as I am at 61 years old.. as active
as he is he probly will be. lol.. I am tired though and its early
post tonite since I got up so early Im logging off early and gonna
eat some of that good smellin kraut and see if Donald left me
a doughnut lol... then im gonna watch the tv...I'm still happy :-)
Nitey Nite.. :-)

Y'all have a good one now Y'hear? Love ya and thanks..
Always, Lois ****

God Bless you is my prayer today,
I'm so honored to call you "friend";
I pray the Lord will keep you safe
until I write again..

    Hello Lois it been a great day. Now what is a pot of brats, yes I know what sauerkraut is, we love it here. Can you put up the recipe for it please???????
    Trying to make more room in this house for Thanksgiving, never ever have room for everyone to set down in one place to eat.


    And send the recipe for
    sweet and sour red cabbage if you
    like....
    Mike not feeling well tonight, I think his ears are acting up again. You have a wonderful Sunday Lois.....God bless you and meet your every need...Mary

    Good Morning Mary,
    Yes, my days are improving and I savor every minute of it. I am having the best time fixing up this little house, I wish I could do it all myself, it would have all been done by now, everyone that comes in comments how cozy this little place is and welcoming.

    The recipes are on the way to you Mary I enjoy sharing them, I hope Mikes ears get better, sometimes a small piece of cotton helps to keep the noise level down and less irritating to the ear, Im deaf in my left ear and have had many ear problems. I know what its like..

    So nice to hear from you Mary..have a good day my friend :-)
    Always, Lois****
