~Guess What I Got Today?~ :-)

I had a pretty good day today, Penny came, did some shopping

for me since it is the first and my food stamps are in..Now I can

stock up on the month.well no. not for meat, etc, I don't have a

freezer that can hold much of anything, I sure miss that big one

I had that I really used a lot.. I kept all kinds of good food in it.

I don't know whats in the stores, all I really see are the ads in

the paper or I look online too..Meijers is online..Some of their

stores will deliver to you. Not here tho..well that I know of..

Pizza Hut and Howies are the only things here that deliver, I

did get some Pop Tarts..they are so good. I used to get them

all the time..good for a sweet snack specially the brown sugar

and cinnamon ones..Hot out of the toaster with butter .... Yes.

Highly recommended.. and very good .. :-) some good news:

I made that phone call yesterday to Chris, he phoned today

and said "Lois, your gonna be home?, we'll be over in just a

little bit" hung up..and about half hour or so..theres a knock

and this man walked in named Lewis, said "Im here to put

in your new windows" . I looked at him smiled and said to

"please~! come in ! " He was so nice..did a great job..and
I have a new window in..that top one is looking out that new

window to the left..you can see part of the ramp..and the porch

and part of the mailbox..That place across the road is where

that angel man was walking..( in the very top photo) That 2nd

one is looking straight out of it. if I turn around here at my desk

and looked out the window that is what I would see..

You can see the road that goes down the side over there the

extension of the one that runs over here on the west side of

my house.. Notice the branch down..The trees here are in

dire need of work..Do you notice the pretty yellow Humvee

parked across over there? Seems Lewis's brother works

for them and he paints them! You can barely, through the

tree (cedar)see that there are a couple big semi trailers by

that builing on the right..you can see a bit of a red sign on

one..They must work a 24 hour shift, those big trucks are in

and out constantly, that's why its so noisy on this street..

what is down the end of that street I don't know..I think it

might be the river..I have no idea..ive not been down it..

Lewis was such a sweet guy and so nice to chat with, which

we did the whole time he was here.. Hes very young I would

say 20's.Single too and VERY handsome..VERY.. and hes

just that nice too.. Hes an advid outdoorsman..loves to fish

and hunt..I showed him the photo of my Northern I caught and

we chatted about my ex and how he hunted,,and he and

David..well a lot of the same likes.. he LOVES Those mush

rooms..Morrels..they grow wild all over here..and many-Donnie

included, have their private places they go to find them..I say I

don't like them..but I have never had one in my mouth so that's

not being fair. I ve tried those soft mushy kind they put in every

thing now it seems.those... I DO NOT like at all..But he did a

great job on the window and we discussed this FLOOR!!

Apparently he put this carpet down..I asked him.."whats under

this carpet?" the smarty says "padding"..and smiles..lol. brat..

"I KNEW that..its under MOST carpet..duh.. I said FLOOR" he

said there is linoleum and its ok..the people just wanted carpet.

I told him Chris said I could take it out.. so he said he would

check with Ken, Chris' Dad..the big boss.. and also about the

bathroom floor.. But well NOW I just have to make arrangements

to get this carpet pulled up.. I bet If I had my power chair I could

do it my own self.. I can move this stuff, the only thing would be

hard is my desk..but I bet I could figure out a way to move that too

if I plan long enough exactly how to do it so I don't pop a cork or

something if I try lol..We talked quite a bit about this house..I was

right about a leak..and seems that it is not really fixed when he

checked out the spot in the ceiling.. I told him I need the paint and

this place finished.. he told me too that Ken owns at least 80 or

more houses.. Lots of work..but he buys and sells..rents them till

they sell or sell to the renters..

I can already feel a big difference in here..He said he will be here

tomorrow to do this one on the side of me..that will be great then

I wont be looking through that screen when I take photos out that

window.. Lewis even cleaned off that glass for me..went and got

the Windex and paper towels and did INSIDE and OUT! now is

THAT nice or what.. he put everything back just like it was too.

THats the way you evaluate a good job.by the end product and I

sure can NOT feel that draft on my back now..Im pleased.. :-D

I also am tired.. I have been getting up at 3 am every day the

past few and I have NO idea why .. then by 10 im ready to go

back to bed.. Penny will be here tomorrow too and were going

to transfer the canned stuff to the metal cabinet in the bathroom.

I sure miss that freezer.I could make some good stuff. I may send

her back to the store tomorrow..I was in a big 'sleep mode' when

Penny was here and I did a quick fast list.. just the basics..and I

did forget some.I need paper stuff..TP and napkins etc..paper

plates I could save money and not buy them..but I use them to put

the boys food on..saves on dishes..I hate to do dishes..one of the

joys of short arms..and having a caregiver. I don't have to do them

now lol.. I always got stuck drying the dishes and I got tired of it..

My sis always got to wash..she would get so mad when I kept

putting stuff back in the water and tell her "its not clean" she would

yell at me and grab the towel and say "go away your making me

wash things 20 times each"and they say blondes are dumb :-D

bed time for me..well after a blue berry doughnut Nitey Nite :-)

Y'all have a good one 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..
