~I'll Be Fine~ :-)

I'll be by myself this Christmas..but now..don't go feeling

bad that I will be here alone..well the boys will be here..lol..

Guess what I do have here.. :-) Penny brought me 6 kinds

of cookies..at least 2 dozen..24 of each.. 2 loaves of bread..

banana and date..and 3 kinds of fudge..at least 15 pieces

of each kind. Peanut butter, pecan and chocolate.. and MMM

it is SO good.. ive tasted it all. So I will bury my aloneness

in my cookies..and breads and fudge.. lol. I will be fine :-)

I have gotten some wonderful cards..and some of the nicest

gifties in the mail.. and my pay pal button was used! first time..

This is a great Christmas..really.. Im happy..I have spent the

last 4 Christmases alone..but not really.. Blue is already on

Christmas Eve..hes 16 hours ahead of Michigan.. I hope he

asks Santa what else hes bringin me lol..So I know he will

be phoning, like he said, and I know some others will also..but

I do want to say thanks for all the kind words.. encouragement..

the updates on your familys.. makes me feel a part of it.. I

enjoy. no I LOVE knowing who reads this..and what you think

and am I doing good, bad or other wise, and I love when you

tell me .. so Thanks hey? And Merry Christmas to you too..:-)

Had big doings here today tho..even being a holiday .. the words

are.. "WHAT NOW LOIS???" lol.. well I don't know who..I would

say Ken,, when he left last nite..he didn't shut the porch door..
During the night the wind has increased..about 4 am the boys

both start to meow..and LB comes and nudges me.. which he

only does that if its something he feels needs attention..and Dutch

hes sitting in the door way all wide eyed and scared ..looking at the

door! I said "ohoh" cats are good watch dogs you know. So I listen

hear bang ..wind.. bang.. wind. I open the door.well unlock it first. I

stay locked all the time. peek out.. its so daylight over here from

that garage and there is the door swinging..back and forth. .

not a thing I could do.. early morning reminder :-(

If I had gone out.. I would have had to leave this inside door open,

the boys would have gotten out.. so I had to leave it.. The draft

around this inside door was awful the metal outside wheel was

freezing cold..I noticed that when I got in my chair.. It was 4am..

like Im gonna call someone then say "HEY, come close my door"

talk about a daily reminder hey? I waited until 9 and I called

Penny to see If she was coming over but she didn't call me back

till about 1..about 11 ...Becky called said.."im coming to town

and will drop off some cat food for you, by the way your front

door was open this morning when I went by"..she lives in

the town I was in at the shelter so to go to the big Meijers she

had to go past my house. She said she wasn't sure if someone

was here or not so she didn't stop then..On her way back she

did stop..we had a nice visit ..shes very new on the computer..

she knows basics..and wants to learn more.. She just retired and

is really enjoying not having to work..she has a grand niece

named Lilly, shes 4 and Becky just loves this child.. was her

birthday just the other day.. She checked my mail and of course

the boys were all over her.. LB laid by her side the whole time

so she could rub him.. they really like her..and she likes them

she says shes never seen such socialble cats..

Becky left..and Penny called and came over bearing the breads

and delicious fudge..she put 2 nails up top of each side of the

door.. when she left I took my blanket and used my grabber to

put the blanket up on the nails to cover the draft from the door.

its really helped.. Penny said she could see light through the

side and top. It got almost instantly warmer when I put the

blankets.. well no.. not blankets..I call them my woolbies..they

are coverlets.. like blankets..made of polar fleece..very very

warm and so light weight you cant even feel it on you..I love it

every year my sis makes me a couple ..she knows I love them..

If you don't have a polar fleece woolbie..get one..theyre really

warm and so soft.. almost like velvet..and light and airy kinda

no weight to them at all. I love mine.. I told my sis I need new

they are worn out. I don't think that material ever wears out

though lol.

So you see..daily reminder.. I did try to put a nail in by the door

but no..I just could not do it..that wood was just too hard.. I hope

it isnt very long till I get the new door.. ill have to start reminding

people when they leave to make sure that porch door is closed

tight.. I am going to see about putting some plastic up over the

screen on the porch and over the bottom of the door, the glass

is gone..half is screen. that will make a big difference too..then

if they really did order the new windows- should be snug in here..

I asked Chris if he had received any rent payments.I feel bad..

hes not gotten one yet.. he was informed it had gone through

but still not heard or seen a check..month 3 is starting..well 2

but a month ahead... 2 months ive been in here..and I should

be ashamed for not having this place done. Im just lazy lol. no.

its just not EASY for a GORGEOUS weeble.

So another exciting day at Weebleville lol.. Im hunkered down

got me all covered and locked and boarded up..got cookies

and soda..and fudge and 2 cats to torment me lol..hey..Im

good to go..I can last till Tuesday when I should see life forms

again lol.. someone will beam in ..Im ready to beam to my bed.

"Beam me up Scotty." Nitey nite ;-D

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..
