~I Have FLOWERS !!!~ :-D

We had the best time today Penny and I. She went outside

and took some photos of my flowers and the yard and flower

bed for me so I got to see what is really out there... I called

and asked a friend if he would come over and take me out

side. Hes very strong and I know he could handle helping to

push me thru the yard.. I don't know if I could do it my self, so

hopefully he will come over and take me outside. Those are

the tulips that are out by the garage, along the fence that

divides the property from the street. Arent they pretty? Some

one that had this place before took very good care of the

yard, as there are traces of flower beds..plus all this stuff

that is coming up now out there..
Along the side of the house are many smaller plants that are

not yet blooming..arent the red tulips just so pretty and look at

the very inside of it.. how amazing these creations are we have

been blessed with..How lovely, I LOVE flowers.. and I hope

Wayne will come over and go out with me, then I can see these

all up close.
The flower bed is just down below the kitchen window and as

you can see its a bit pathetic. If Raife's wife could see this she

would cringe and feel sorry for me I hope..That lady's whole

hand should be green she grows some of THE most beautiful

flowers and their yard and garden show it..Maybe if I bribe her

she will feel sorry for me and they will both fly over here to get

my yard straightened out..Both Raife and his wife are handy

as buttons as talented as they both are...The taller plant on the

left is a rose bush and its right next to the door that goes into

the house, right above it a little to the right is the kitchen window

that the boys love to look out and watch the birds and squirrels

and that one day a rabbit..
Penny said these 3 look so pretty out there, the 2 yellow ones

are so light and the orange is lovely. I wish that whole fence

was filled with flowers.. That stuff on the ground around them

is dead leaves..as I said all these flowers need some TLC.

I think the wind just blew them there as the fence is right

behind if you look closely you can just see it..
I had Penny take a photo of me and of course Dutch, he is NOT

happy as you can see and I am holding him tight as I can with

out squeezing the daylights out of that cat..hes not smiling you

see....and I am holding his feet or he will slap me so I let go of

him..let alone try to bite me..Hes very bad about biting and

slapping..If you try to pet him and hes asleep and you wake

him up more than likely he will take a slap at you and try to bite

you..not hard..but just enough to let you know DO NOT DISTURB.

hes a spoiled child..Don't look at fugly me..look at the boy,

talk about football arms hey? sheesh, nothing like seeing a pic

of yourself to tell ya how it "REALLY IS" lol.. :-D.

LB would not come near the camera and is fine today..early this

morning he came and walked up my body till he stood on my

chest then let out this LOUD meow..and rubbed his face on my

nose..Well, needless to say I woke up..and he was back to his

old self and laid in my arms for quite a while..today hes all back

to his "I don't care" attitude, but no photo today of His Majesty.

I started to collect those coins of all the states..I have quite a few

and Penny went to the dollar store and they have the collecting

books there for them so she picked one up for me.. I think it is

a good thing to collect these..someday they may be worth some

money.. I have quite a few old coins..no real collection of a certain

kind..just ones I found and kept and put them in a huge jar and

very seldom do I ever even look at them..I do have a silver dollar

that's dated in the 1800.. was my grandfathers, my dad's and is

now mine..As fast as time flies..wont be long and they will be

valuable..

My Dolly has a birthday the 21st she will be 23. I don't know where

the time is gone when I look at Kelli..was only yesterday she was

following me around my kitchen telling me I was "The BEST

Cooker In the Whole World" to her anyway. And now she is

married, gone to college, and has her own home and even is

working 2 jobs.. She and her husband Jorge are having some

serious problems with the immigration laws as Jorge's work

permit ran out and he is afraid to go back to Mexico for fear

they wont let him back here, they wont let him file for citizenship

unless he is in Mexico which is goofy but that's the law..all this

stuff that is going on with the Spanish people..that's what is

causing all these problems for my Dolly and her husband.. I sure

hope they can get it cleared up..If Jorge has to go back there

then we know Kelli will go with him and I just hate to think of her

that far away from us..I KNOW Donnie would be MOST upset,

as well as her grandfather and the rest of us...But we cant do a

thing to help. Jorge is a good hardworking man and married to

Kelli but still they are giving him problems..sad..but that's how

things are today, its just a matter of wait and see. Kelli would be

fine in Mexico as she speaks fluent spanish..well if she wants to

carry on a conversation with her husband she has to..Jorge isnt

real good with English although hes been here for years, some

times we have a hard time understanding him..Donnie likes him

which is a VERY good thing..:-)

Well I had a busy day, and I am ready to get some supper . I

don't know what I want I had a fish sandwich from Mc D's

for lunch..That's the only food from there that doesn't upset

my stomach lol..and I get the double fish its really good..They

put cheese on it too..its good.. Im not really hungry hungry.

but I need something.. Maybe one of those cinnamon

rolls.. Im so glad LB is back to himself..He was rather rude

to Penny today though and didn't hardly go by her at all..

Dutch pouts for an hour after she leaves and sits and stares

at the door that whole time..off and on he will look at me as

if saying "WHAT did you do to her?" he really likes her and

will put his feet on her leg to get her attention if she is doing

something.. She loves him too ...you cant help it this cat is

so amazing.. hes not like ANY I have ever known.. I told her

when she comes on Monday I will fire up his clock and she

can watch when it gongs what he does.. I wish he would

stop that I love that clock, Ive wanted a chimer clock for

always and finally HAVE one and this cat wont let it alone..

He's madly in love with it..he would crawl inside of it if he

could.. I smell a cinnamon roll ..:-) its calling me to come

out to the kitchen.. "Nitey Nite" :-D

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..
