Amputee life before and after...

~The 13th~

Today is Friday the 13th.. and superstition has it that bad
luck is always on this day.. I have to disagree as I really don't
believe in superstitions.. Although when I was in Hawaii..I
was not aware of the many superstitions they have there
about every little thing..and surprisingly some that I went
and checked out with some of the locals were true!!! THAT
really surprised me.. As beautiful as Hawaii is.. they have
many things that they believe in..and that they have more
or less haunted places there. I still loved being there..maybe
one of these days I can go back.. It was just so beautiful
that even the photos don't do it justice..

I was listening to music earlier..and next month will be my
Dolly's birthday, Kelli, she will be 23. She is so lovely. When
she was little, 3 or so.. she and I would go shopping and
as soon as we got settled in the car, she and I would sing.
Hers and my favorite, that was ALWAYS the first song we
would sing was "You Are My Sunshine" and every time we
would say those words while we were singing we would
point at each other ... It was fun..and finding that Midi site
with such good songs on it and that one especially I just
couldn't help thinking of those rides Kelli and I took just
singing away, I bet if anyone saw us would have thought
we were nuts.. We had big fun together.


There was yellow tag left on the door yesterday and I
couldn't get out there to see what it was about.. Today
when that nice girl that brings my lunch came she had
it in her hand and gave it to me.. I was so glad she did.
The tag was from a tree service that is planning to cut
the trees that are in this yard away from the power lines.
Its not necessary that you allow them to do this but it
saves money rather than call a tree service to do the
work and if it gets windy and those branches can hit a
power line..and pull it away from your house..I could
have what they call a power surge and lose everything
I have that is electric and plugged in.. It says on the
tag that they will leave the wood which will be ok as
Donnie will be glad to have it.

Donnie has a fireplace that he burns wood but he also
has a furnace.. He found a new device that he can burn
wood and it will go thru his vents etc that he already
has in the house.. that will be a good thing and be so
much cheaper than gas or what ever.. I just got my gas
bill and its 79.34 .. for a month.. I am just amazed at
how expensive it is to live in a house, I sure like the
privacy part of a house,, I can have my TV or puter as
loud as I want and not worry , I don't have to listen to
anything from outside other than the cars and trucks
going down the road..or that guy next door reving up
that cutlass he still has across the street.. It sure is
loud, I cant help but hear it when he starts it. It is a
great car though the body on it is perfect, I don't see
one bad spot on it. Hes been working hard on this
car.. I hope he sells it.. :-)

Well Im back to the same subject.. I had lunch brought
here today and when I looked at it.. I honestly had NO
idea what it was.. It looked like chicken cut up and in
a pale looking gravy..was just ugly.. I showed it to
Dutch of course he has to check out everything and he
did his famous jump straight up in the air..and hit the
floor running ... he came back and sniffed it again
and tried to bury it.. I was NOT eating it.. I think I will
make a good baked potato .. I like those and I do
have some Lemon pie out there..Its really good. I
think Penny may come by tomorrow, she called in
today with a bad toothache that she knows she will
have to have something done..There is almost no
pain worse than a bad toothache..that is ONE pain
I will NEVER have to have ever again.. I think the
best thing I ever did was get dentures.. So much
cheaper in upkeep and never have to go back to a
dentist ever again.. I got my dentures when I was 38
years old..the full set.. I had the top ones since I was
25... then I had the bottoms taken out and had the
full set.. By the time I got to the hellhome it was time
for a new set..and that dentist that came there made
these ..well only the top ones now..dentures for me..
He was even surprised at how well the fit..and I was
so pleased they looked so nice.. no one knew that
they were dentures.. When we packed up the apartment
we never found my bottom dentures.. I still to this day
have NO idea what happened to my bottom ones.. I
AM going to get new bottom ones..I cant wait to eat
popcorn and pizza and all that hard chewy stuff...


Im headed to the kitchen and then to watch TV and that
means its time to write my famous GORGEOUS
WEEBLE words .."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..

    I worked today for 2 hours at the Park Slope food coop in Brooklyn today. Your delivered meal in NYC is called Meals in Wheels. Somebody even wrote a play about them. I'm good at doctoring them with basil and other herbs.
    I used to live on Long Island and we had power lines and the power company would come and trim the trees before the hurricane season.

    Hello Lois
    It late I know, what a day cleaning the church getting ready for Saturday. We are having a special service for just men, the 28 will be for women. When I got home I sat in front of the T.V. and watch some great shows...I didn't want to get up for any reason...
    Saturday I will make a big salad for the the men lunch, anyway that what I am bring.
    I love that song too "You are my Sunshine" I bet a lot of children song that song.
    Going to bed before I all off this chair......Good night my friend.
    God bless you.
    Mary

    Hi Momar,
    Yes thats what I get..meals on wheels, they said they got a new cook..well shes using the same recipes. how do they expect the food to be better? lol
    Yes, the tree company is hired by the electric company, you do have a choice if you want it done specially if the trees are going to be cradled which means the whole center cut out so the line can go thru..that is so bad for a tree as it makes it weak and can split right down the center.. not good..

    Hi Mary, I watched Grays Anatomy 2 nites in a row..its a really good one.. I watched that and survivor..I dont know why those people on it look so anorexic..and the clothes they wear is pathetic, specially the women.. I bet alot of men watch it. lol.. I like to watch tv when I can stay up long enough to see something. :-)

    Hope you had a good saturday, :-)
    Always, Lois ****
