~The Article!~ good job Elena :-)

This is the front page of our local paper.. You see over

on the left..is me..telling of the story on the inside..Its

a very good story. I had Penny go out and get the paper

for me..as we were both waiting for it on pins and needles..

She came slowly walking up to me saying "what is this??"

I looked saw the picture of the young man, me..I said "what?"

Penny is looking very closely at this man..looks at me..said

"hes asking MY NEICE to marry him!!! She was so surprised..

I said what a coincidence it was and she not knowing about

it lol.. When she went to get the papers for us..we each bought

a few lol..she told the lady at the store that it was her niece then

pointed out the story about me..and said she was my care giver

mentioned in the story..The store gave her 4 newspapers ..:-)

now that was nice ..

The story took up half a page as you can see here..along

with the picture..Its NOT my best..But .. I have a lovely smile..

please notice that. I am very happy..and look at the dear

man pushing my chair..he seems kinda happy too doesn't

he? They did such a great job..you can see the side rails

and how nice and wide..no fear of going off the sides..they

widened it up by the door..and look by the left at the top of

the ramp you can see the mailbox where they moved it to.. It

was on the right..about where the middle of the side rail post

is..at the bottom of the steps..

This is the left 1/4 of the top half..I don't have my scanner up so

I couldn't scan this..Donald is due to come over and I had hoped

before I posted so I could scan the paper but I had to use my

web cam..still you can read it if you look closely..Elena is a

very good writer and took great notes..The blog is mentioned..

there is only One mistake..and I will type it very fast in case the

boys are reading lol..no.. she mistakenly said they were dogs..

which I LOVE dogs.. I do.. I wish I could have a shepherd again..

but to take one out.even with a ramp..would just be too hard..

Ive always had one though..I had twins once.. Jesse and Jake..

If you cant read it..and want to ..drop me a email and I can

send you a paper or..send you what it says lol..My name

in the paper for something so good..I am pleased.. This

wasn't about me ..really..but of some great guys..and a

company that have heart..and care..willing to do something

because...well.you just FEEL like doing it.. I think they all

4 need a big atta boy pat on the back.. . Home Depot for

donating the wood..well Thanks to them too.. I plan to go there.

I think this is such a good thing.. Its hard to find help some

times, I had really looked and was getting so very discouraged

y'all know that..fooey, I think I whined every nite about that

lol. And every one said "YES DEAR, you did" :-)..well

lets say this is ONE ..as in 1 less thing I have to wine about lol

No I try not to..I do..does no good really.. you have to do some

thing..I called everybody and their brother, aunt, uncles even

their redheaded step children I think to try to get some help..

Every agency is so limited on exactly what they can do..BUT

the biggie is..they give you so much paper work to fill out and

things YOU have to do.. three fourths of the way through you

get so tired..your ready to give up..and that's what they count

on.. I wont give up.. I WILL find a way..may take my ear falling

off but..well.. I do what I have to.. I wont take something cuz

its free..if I NEED it I will..but only then..

Elena mentioned my little world here ..this blog..I love it here..

I get to say what I want..tell what this life is all about..make

everyone realize always getting to sit is NOT the best thing to

want to do.. I could tell you a major body to part to ask about

that now ..... trust me.. She put the blog addy..and I wanted you

to be able to read this one main part..about here and everyone

that reads this GORGEOUS weebles 2 cents worth lol..

my "national and international friends who encourage her in her

life" that IS what you do.. when you tell me Im amazing or pat

me on the back for a job "well done!" means a lot to me.. If I can

by what I say..make someone understand just how hard it is

and what my daily life is..a challenge..I tell it all.. I don't mind

being me..and if it bothers someone else..well..then leave me

alone.. This life is hard enough..life is rough.for all of US..if we

cant help each other ..that's sad..and I hate that, like I told Elena,

the hardest part..is LIVING, its a daily challenge...

I tried to explain to Elena about the 2 worlds I live in..which I do..

and I love both of them, theres good and bad in no matter WHAT

world you are in.. I love both my worlds..they are problems in both,

issues..the devotee/admirer issue..I have no problem with it..and

I will discuss it openly, I will tell what I do to be able to survive,

live here and do what I have to do to make this life easy as I can..

When I had to go to that Homeless shelter for that month.. the total

feeling I felt, that I had let my OWN , ME, Self..down..that I was just

no where, no one, and nothing..and cried.. neither world seemed

did I belong in- then..WELL. ..I wasn't staying there.. I hated it..

I was coming out of that place.. and I did..im here.. its all doable..

harder at some times more than others..once I get these deposits

caught up..and these floors..and my chair..and get lots of good

stuff for Christmas.. hehehe..I HAD to say that you know.. .look

at the date tho.. wasn't it only a few weeks ago I said I was going

to get a start on Christmas early? back in July? lol Just shows how

that worked hey? I got nuthin done.lol. that's the joys of Christmas.

you get all busy and rush around..then by the time it gets here you

are SO ready for that GREAT dinner lol and can just eat all that

other misery of shopping and spending and rushing around away.

I hope Gary Chartrand, I went to school with a Jimmy Chartrand in

the UP..related to Alice that lived across the street..lol..and his

business does great....my ramp is good advertising for some

very deserving people and a great store and great notice for a

good writer..or should I say ANOTHER great writer lol.. Well Im a

great writer too..!!! lol..Ive been seriously considering putting

a book together of my writings.. 2 different types of stories tho..

Donnie called earlier and he will be stopping by to pick up some

chicken Penny got that was on sale at Meijers..and she got some

doughnuts that I LOVE!!! lol so I want the blueberry one and if he

gets here before I get out there..well you KNOW where that thing

will go don't ya? ya!! in the WRONG stomach lol..

Hope you liked seeing my name in print so to speak ..lol..wait

till I phone my sis..two of the 10 copies I got, she wants.. one

to send to HER sister Deidre in Florida..shes not my sis..lol

we have my sis..her sis and our sis ..we were adopted ...and

raised separately..we didn't meet until I was in my 30's..I am
SO grateful for that..Shes the VERY best sister a woman could

have..not at all like the other I have in Hawaii..lets not go there lol

to Hawaii ..yes..yes but not to that story lol. I could tell you a

LOT better bed time story than that one..Sorry for the long post.
