~Nice Surprise~

We have more snow. but sposta be warming up. I had a nice

surprise today , I was having breakfast and hear this loud noise,

was a snow blower and I thought the man across the street was

doing his sidewalk and then I hear a knock on the door and is

that nice man Robert from COA and he had just finished doing

my ramp and sidewalk again.. how wonderful.. I was so pleased.
I had no idea he would be back unless I called. Hes very nice and

is quite involved with COA and his girlfriend works over there as

well.. Hes had some heart problems he said but his Dr told him

he cant find one thing wrong with him..Yet he said while he was

sitting here that his chest was aching a bit..I suggested it might

be from breathing the cold air..that maybe he needed to cover

his mouth with a scarf or something and perhaps that may help,

that the problem is not heart at all.. I hope what ever it is that they

can fix it for him.. We talked about how it is to go to the Dr for

one thing and then find out there are a dozen others wrong that

you have no idea about like me! He laughed and agreed :-D

He told me about a dear lady he knows that is 82 years old..and

can walk but doesnt..her Dr tells her to get up and walk that it will

help her knees to not swell..but she refuses..I told him have you

mentioned to her about me? that she has those legs..use them..

even for just a few steps a day..he says he has..but she just doesn't

want to walk and prefers her power chair, and wont get up or even

try to walk, even knowing she can..she wont. I have been told this

before about other amputees that are only missing one leg and

they are totally chair bound and consider themselves quite help

less and depend on others to do every little thing for them.. I like

to do and take care of things and help to keep my house in order

I try so that Penny isnt overloaded .. I appreciate the fact I have

her I don't want to make her job harder by being messy, I pick

up and clean up after the boys when they do things they know

not to do, which is daily :-)

Dutch knocked a glass out of the window ledge and of course

it broke. I have no choice but to clean , well sweep it up right

away I would feel so badly if one of the boys cut their little

foot on a piece of glass. Just 2 days ago..Dutch saw a big

squirrel out side running through the yard by the tree next to

the garage, he got so excited and tapped that loose window

in there and that little glass fell..and of course shattered on

the floor.. I had no choice but to chase them both out as LB

came running to see what happened. I got the broom and

dust pan and started to sweep it.. I have a birdcage stand

in front of the window I had to move..then I have a big box

there , blue of course, that hasnt been taken down the base

ment and my kitchen cart with my coffee maker and toaster

on it.. All had to be moved..which was easy.. I started to

sweep and the long broom handle hit the fake ivy I have

hanging in the birdcage stand knocked it over, it hit the

table and knocked a pan off of there , that hit the cat dish

bowl and cat food went all over. ..I had to get that glass

up and kept on sweeping but by knocking all this other

stuff all over it took me forever! I make more work for

my self trying to clean up other stuff :-) I think I need shorter

handles on my broom and stuff :-) but this keeps me

going and getting extra exercise, and I need that too.

I honestly think if the day came that I didn't try and do what

I can..well some days I just cant..but if I quit trying that is so

NOT a good thing. Its a daily , hourly thing we all have to do

no matter what it pertains to..if we lose that..then what is it

all for? I get very discouraged at times by the things I see

or hear and the things happening to me.. but I like myself

for who and what I am..and I may look differently now..and

I guess I do act a little differently ..but I am still the same

person I have always been..GORGEOUS :-) ive just added

the name of WEEBLE to it ...im still ME...and I can do this..

slow maybe sometimes..but give me a few..you cant keep

a WEEBLE down ..got to tie them or use that good Duct

tape :-) I read a cute thing about Duct tape and WD-40..

said if it moves use Duct tape..if it doesn't use the WD-40.

and that's true :-) some great stuff.

Well this WEEBLE has got to take a rest..and eat a banana

for today better than those iccky horse pills they taste awful.

I will wash it down with one of those doughnut holes..theyre

cherry ones this time..and good .. time to see how long I can

last this time before lights out ..."Nitey Nite" :-)

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..
