~Loose Wire~

What a nasty rainy cold wet snowy day today lol..That just about
describes it too.. So windy a wire came loose from the side of the
house..it had gone thru a rather large cedar by the side of the house-
here by the living room I was looking out to see if it had snowed and
saw it there. It was very low, and draped over another wire.. thats
not good.. I dont know what kind of wire it is..but I called the
electric company and told them.. It may be cable or phone. I have no
idea. But I dont like seeing that out there hanging and that tree
steady pulling at it.. I hope the electric companywill come soon and
see what it is and who to call to fix it.. makes me nervous, I still hear
that wind howling out there..bad nite..good snuggler nite.:-)

I really didnt do alot today..I had a couple long distance phone
calls from friends I hadnt heard from in awhile..Sara and I had
not talked in a long time..and we sure were over due for a nice
chat..it was good to hear her as well..shes quite active in Pliati?
or something like that to help tone body muscles.. Sara is a
triple, congenital..and she needs to keep fit to be able to move..
I felt badly for her as she has a very bad shoulder..the rotator
cup or something is giving her alot of pain..She is so adept in
taking care of herself..she lives alone even..shes an amazing
woman and I sure missed her..shes a dear..but like all of us
having a hard way to go..financially..it seems thats how it is
for most of us..and there isnt one thing we can do about it.. We
all try..well the amps I know do..all are hard workers, but we
still live day to day..I wish I could find that nice place with a few
houses on it..for some one like me and sara to be able to live
well.. Well I did find it.. 2 houses..6 cabins..on a lake..15 acres..
be perfect.. a barn for sara's art work and studio..it could be
a good thing..we are both good strong women and not afraid
of working to get what we need..we could both make extra
money..Ahhh wishful thinking..but..we need these daydreams
that give us something that we hope for..dream for..and who
knows.. i may win the lottery..and guess how long before I
get that place on the lake I want or even that train ride I would
love to take..oh well ..good thing we dont know whats ahead..
then we arent disappointed if what we hope for really isnt there..

I had a great surprise today besides the phone calls..I was
sitting at my computer and there was a loud knock on the door
scared the crap otta me..I was NOT expecting anyone.. I yelled
"who is it?" I hear "police open up" and I almost fell out of my
chair.!. I sat a minute and I hear a voice say " LOIS, open the
door is shirley and Im gonna wet my pants hurry up!" I laffed..
i coulda killed Stanley tho ..stinker..lol..they came here bearing
gifts..I am so pleased.. she said early christmas..She brought
candy, flowers..a toaster, cannister set..and THE Most gorgeous
wall decoration..its so PERFECT.. its a white and dark blue
pitcher with daisies in it.. It will look so good on the wall I cant
stand waiting to put it up...Penny couldnt come today bad brakes
so she is coming tomorrow..then we will play wall decorator lol..

I was kinda glad they came..too cuz I burnt the light bulb out in
the kitchen this am.. I woke up did my business and went to the
kitchen hit the switch, heard a ping! , and it was still dark.. I sat
and looked up..well no way I can reach that up there.. So Stan
put it a new bulb in for me.. I think I may splurge and get some
of those like new neon ones that last for 20 years or some
thing..That bulb going ..just another reminder..'Lois your short"
lol.. well someones gotta be lol..

It snowed today and I tried taking some pics but it didnt show
up cuz of the screen..was that thick kind of flake.that just floats
down. that almost flutter when they hit your face..I love those
kind of snowfalls..I feel bad for those that have to drive in it..We
had ice and snow warnings all day..Tonite and tomorrow its
sposed to snow..about 2 to 3 inches they said on the weather.


I know I did nuthin..but I am tired..Dutch is just bound and mind
set that I get up about 4:30 or 5 every morning..today was NO
exception..well today tho.he decided to wake mom up was to
bring me a toy and lets play fetch..that lasted for a while..till I
was wide awake and said ok ok im up..then he hears that,
and is gone..Time to crawl up on my little nest in there and
snuggle down and see how long I can watch tv. I hope they
came and checked that wire..Makes me nervous.. I told Chris
these trees needed trimmed.. I hope this wire wont be a
problem I just worry about a power surge.. I am half way set
to turn off and unplg this computer just to be safe..I would
cringe if I lost everything..no no..lol.not a good thing..Well
time to hit the hay.nitey nite :-)
Y'all have a good one now Y'hear? luv 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..

    Hi, Honey,
    All that snow is down to Global Warming!!
    I think Pilates (say"pee lah tees") would be what Sara is doing. It is a system of exercises. Her shoulder and your light bulb surely drive home to us "normies" how very hard it is for amputees to cope and brings home to me, at least, just what wonderfully courageous people you are. I think that is why this particular Dev loves amputees. Its their sheer beauty and bravery.
    Take care, my Wonderfully Courageous Weeble. Lots of love and great big hugs from
    Raife

    Morning Raife..
    Its not easy..before I took it all for granted that I would stay the same body wise..I complained about the smallest thing sometimes I had to do..but I was able to do it..hang a picture..vacuum..sweep and not destroy everything around me..lol..now..well. I see.. appreciate the tiniest thing that you are able to do..someday you may not be able to... Sara is a fighter like me..why we are so close..shes a love. I wish we could find that place to live where we would have no worries.. she is in the same boat as me. Only she lives on the 3rd floor, I only need a ramp! She highly recommends Pilati..says it works ..and well Im gonna try it to..never know that Prince may be on his way... I got to be GORGEOUS when he finaly gets me.. :-)
    Hope your having fun playing while the cats away..still hangin are ya?? lol...
    NO SNOW.. told ya..best way to predict the weather? look out the window..lol..have a good day!!!!
    ALways, Lois ****
