~Lazy Sunday~

I was bad today and did not take a new photo.. I am very

sorry, you will have to just put up with one I took the 4th,

just a different pose.. I told you I take at least 5 or 6 photos

and then I pick the one I like the best..and sometimes I just

keep them all which in a case like today I am glad I did.. I

was going to take a new photo today and just didn't get

around to doing it..I guess I was just plain lazy.. :-) My hair

looks like totally ugly today and I just didn't take the time

to fix it and I had on ugly clothes and like I said I was just

plain lazy today.. I haven not done one thing..But itsnt that

what Sundays are for? To get you all rested up to go and

face monday morning and another week of work?

I have to honestly say I dont miss going to work.. I sit here

sometimes in the morning and I watch the traffic of those I

know are going to work, fighting the road conditions or

the other sleepy workers on the road.. I dont miss that one

little bit.. I worked since I was 12 years old and I dont mind

working at all.. I was a good employee I did what I got paid

to do and did a good job to earn that pay. My first job was

just as a babysitter. I babysat for the principle of the high

school and the minister of our church..then I added to that

when I got older - ironing..I did that every monday nite right

after school...

My cousin June paid me to do her ironing for her, she was

very busy, was a beautician and gave piano lessons..My

cousin Bob worked for the mine of course, but in the

office. I liked to iron..I did all the ironing at home for my

mother.. I liked doing Junes' as her son Bobby was just

2 years younger than me and he was one of my very best

favorite cousins..we got along so good.. I would walk home

from school with him and we would have the best time.. He

would come down the basement where I did the ironing

and keep me company most of the time.. I hated ironing

his blue jeans and told him that..and he would laugh.. I would

tease him and tell him I would put a big huge scorch mark

right on the butt and he wouldnt know it and wear them to

school.. I know he checked his jeans every time after that :-)

Bobby would come out to the cottage my parents had and

spend a week at a time sometimes.. and we would have

the best time..swimming, and fishing and boating all over

Sunset Lake.. I bet we went through quite a few tanks of gas.
One evening my dad wanted to go fishing and he got in the

boat..untied it..and used the oar to push the boat away from

the dock.. as he floated farther away he turned and pulled the

start cord on the outboard motor, well Bobby and I had used

the boat and motor all day, as he and I looked at each other,

knowing we were both about to be in deep trouble..we looked

then at my dad trying to pull that cord and every time he

did the motor wouldnt start.. we knew we were in trouble and

one of us better go get the gas can and the other get my dad

back to the dock.. Bobby went after the gas and I ran out onto

the dock... Dad is sitting there laughing at me..said "whats the

matter? run all the gas out of the motor Lois?" I looked at my

dad and before I could say anything ..that motor started up

and my dad says " I filled the gas tank before I got in the boat

Lois, I know you and Bobby had probly run it all out today" he

smiled, waved and putted off down the lake :-) he knew us

so well I think lol...

That cottage was such a nice place, the family came out on the

week ends..and everyone would bring food..I think everytime

the family got together food was the main part of the gatherings.
But I guess that is today as well.. A good party or family get

together the main part of the planning is the food.. I have always

been that way..If someone stops by I automatically ask if they

would like something to drink..or if they would like a snack or

something.. The food that was at the family gatherings when I

was young was great..bad part was I didnt dare say I liked

Aunt Gladys' blueberry pie better or Aunt Phyllis' spaghetti

better than my mothers.. she would get so upset! but all the

women back years ago that was their pride and joy, how good

a cook they were or how spotless their house was..or how

well behaved their kids were.. THAT was a biggie.and of course

this GORGEOUS WEEBLE was a GORGEOUS kid AND

THE most well behaved :-D

Speaking of food lol.. I do this EVERY time.. I havent eaten

today yet.. I dont usually until supper anyway then just log off

and go to bed..If I eat at lunch time I tend to get sleepy and

then there is no telling how long a cat nap will last for me..

I did sleep late this morning tho..8:30 and I havent slept that

late in a while.. Thats why I got nuthin done today :-) well food

time for me and time for my "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..
