~A Nice Christmas~

Merry Christmas..I hope Santa was good to you.. I had a day of nice surprises..that I wasn't expecting and Im glad.. I was sitting here and there was a knock at the door and it was Raelynn. Was so nice to see her again..She came bearing gifties for the boys..Some special cat food and a nice toy they both seemed to like.. Of course they were all over her they hadnt seen her for a long time and were very happy and just smelled and sniffed all over her..lol..She picked up the cake pan she had brought the cake in quite a while back.Said they were having a lot of company today..Raelynn and Dolly, her sister are both good cooks so I know their house is smellin good. She came by again about 5 with dinner..I was so hungry then too..THAT was REAL good.. The boys and I were pleased..:-) My 2nd surprise was my sister and Stanley stopping by..She came bearing fudge and cookies..oh and peanut brittle..that sadly I cant eat..not with out these bottom teeth lol She also brought some dish cloths she knitted for everyone..She sat at night for months now knitting and making scrubbie balls out of netting ..hmmm I didn't get a chore ball..well..and she forgot that leopard silk lounger she said I could have too~!~ She needs to make a list like I do..but then I lose my list lol..I bet I make up about 4 or 5 grocery lists by the time Penny gets ready to go..I keep forgetting where I put them lol.. I am well stocked Up on goodies..as far as deserts. Im most grateful I have gotten this.. I got up at 430..I think I heard Santa and I just got wide awake I got so excited lol.. :-) you believe that yes? :-) I do that..I will lay there and suddenly realize Im awake..and then I lay and listen to the sounds..see if I can hear the gong of the chime clock my dear friend sent me..Its being a stinker.. sometimes out of the clear blue it will start to work.I hear this loud tick tick tick..and shes runnin ..then days later I notice..hmm I don't hear the clock..I keep a clock in every room..yes..even the bathroom ..What? don't you ever wonder how long your in there ? lol..I just have a time thing I guess.. I saw a clock in a catalog I would love to have..it projects the time on the ceiling.. now how cool is that? I think Id like that..just lay there and look up. Now I have to squint and see if I can see the time on my cable box over in the corner ontop my TV! lol.. I wish my bedroom had more outlets..only 1 can U imagine? just one? and NO phone jack. I am going to see about running one in there..Donnie said there is a lot of phone cable down in the basement so maybe one day he can run a phone in there.. I forget to take my cordless in there at night sometimes.. I get all the way in there ,,, up to the bed..then say RATZ I forgot the phone..and I am NOT going to fight this carpet and go all the way back in here to the desk to get it..someone calls during the night on those forgetful days ..well will just have to wait till I drag my butt to the chair..then to the phone then fight the carpet..then answer! see? easy.lol.. I did take a small nap today.. I just seemed to have no choice..for some reason I got really tired today about 3 and I had to put my head down for a few..like my mom would say "take a five dear" which is just what I did..I grabbed a pillow off the couch, pulled up to the desk and leaned forward and took a little fiver lol..didn't sleep very long..but I felt better when I woke up, now I will be up till the cows come home tomorrow lol.. I hope not! lol.. Well was a very nice Christmas..even though I was here by myself with the boys.. I had that company and I got some great phone calls from a few friends that made my day special too..I had a good day. Now it will be even a tad better..Im getting a piece of fudge and gonna scoot this GORGEOUS weeble over to that bed..but first say Nitey Nite and Merry Christmas.. 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..
