Amputee life before and after...

~DayDreams~

I wonder why we have daydreams? Thoughts of things we sort
of hope or want to happen..I think maybe its what keeps us
going..looking ahead ..forward and maybe wanting more..or
at least better. I don't think a definite road map to get to those
daydreams will be there, its kind of a day to day thing.. I know
of all my daydreams, well I call them hearts desires too. I don't
have many, maybe 3. To live a better quality of life with no worries,
to live on the water, and to take a nice long train ride. It keeps
me looking ahead and trying to make it a bit better every day.
I kinda do have my doubts that it will get a lot better but I hope
it does...soon as my prince can get out of that maze hes in
and get here ...that might help with some of my daydream
sub catagories...Im NOT stating them...

Kenny came by, saw the wet again spot on the ceiling yesterday
and left and ive not heard a word since.. I don't know what to
make of it..They have just too many houses..they need to just
go to one every day for a week or until they finish the work there
and then go on to the next. Its a shame whom ever it was let
this house get so run down from lack of care..someone that
lived here sure liked flowers im glad to say, this back could
be so pretty. I can see the roses out of the windows and you
cant even tell where she picked the ones she brought in..
and buds all over all of them... I cant wait to see the peonie..
should open anytime.. Gardens are a lot of work, but so very
worth the enjoyment you get out of them...

This rain has made my cabinet doors where I keep my cat
food and potatoes theyre sticking.. I had to use a knife to dig
it open from the side..the potatoes are kept in a bin that
tips open and I had to do the same thing with it.. The base
ment has started to get a damp musty odor, and Penny got
some deodorizers for down there.. My material is getting
so ruined.. I should have a big yard sale and get rid of this
stuff that I cant use and havent used for ages.. Would give
me the extra money I will need if and when I do have to
move..would be a good start for a savings..

Lori came yesterday and keystone is buying a new fridge for
me. its not a big one..but it will have a freezer..I called, of
course, Donnie to see if he would go with Lori to bring it
here..Its from Home Depot..They will deliver it for 65.oo but
they will not bring it inside the house..what good is a delivery
that is only half done? and that much money? I called and
asked Donnie if I could make an appointment for next
Monday at 5 for him to be here and he can go and get the
fridge with Lori..Im glad he has a truck.. I will give him some
money for gas..well no..he owes me ten dollars so ..that will
cover gas.. He thinks Gran is giving him this little one.. well.
he is just TOO spoiled..its true but I didn't tell him that..And
If I could trade it for a air conditioner that would be good.. I
saw a portable air conditioner that was on wheels..they must
be new.. I didn't know they had those, They have a small one
here that is pretty reasonable..so maybe Donnie and I can
work out a deal..He stays so busy, hes working on a friends
race car and he loves it.. Men and their toys.

When Dawn was here she stayed for a little while and we
talked..she said she left the dog, Jerky, home and he needed
to be let outside..She had taken him for a walk the other
night and ran into another neighbor with a lab, they walked
the dogs down to a big field..the dogs ran and played and
had a good time..before they knew it 4 other neighbors
came up with their dogs..and she said they all had the best
time... the humans chatted while the dogs played and ran
and got all tired..Dawn said Jerky slept like a baby when he
got home.. She said they had another 'Play Date' again and
she needed to get home so Jerky could go and play with
his friends.. Just like taking kids to the playground or park..
Jerky is a huge chocolate lab..hes 2 now I think...his tail will
clear off a end table with one sweep.. He loves cats and
plays with theirs all the time.. he doesn't know my 2 hate
dogs..LB gets so mad when Jerky is out there eating their
food.. well I guess I would too if company came and ate
all mine.. :-)

Today was so cool it felt wonderful.. and its sposta stay like
this for awhile.. I keep reading on MSN news that its gonna
be a bad storm season this year..and its started already,
that's what I dread about summer.If this was my house I
would get one of those stair thingies and make it so I could
get into the basement.. Im glad I can get into the kitchen..
Im hungry...I think some tomatoes on toast would be great..
some cheese, ya..that sounds good, any volunteers for
garden work would be greatly appreciated.. I may get some
tomatoes that grow in pots..I need some GREEN ones..
I cannot wait for fried green tomatoes.. only once a year can
you have them.. I eat them while I am fixing them..by the time
I am done cooking them I am on the last one ..I have NO
control at all..Time for food and to say "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..

    *fried green tomatoes* was a good movie. I grow mexican tomatillos which grow like weeds. I also grow Caribbean spinach (Calalloo) which also grows like a weed.
    then i think of introspection. I get flash visual images. Perhaps most people do. I need to get a frig and 2 stoves for the new house. I still need 2 more tenants for the new house. An agency will help me get 4 tenants for the apts in the new house. I have to take pix for them & will send you pix.

    Daydreaming can put a smile on your face... always great to be thinking ahead or from the past.
    Moving my brother James to an apt Wednesday from a trailer house...the trailer has bad floors.
    He will be around other his ages...I am sure he will like that, even though he don't visit much...it will be good for him...he stay so busy with the computer all the time...
    I never did like green tomatoes fried, but love all the red one to eat fresh....plateful at a time...Mike loves tomatoes too... hard to keep many in the house...
    I love other fried veg, it won't be long there will be plenty of fresh veg to fried...when the price come down some...
    Lois you have a another wondeful day my friend.
    God bless you.

    Hi, Honey,
    Remember the old song:-

    Dreamers tell us dreams come true,
    There's no mistake
    And wishes are the dreams we dream
    When we're awake.

    Same goes for daydreams.
    I guess that makes you "My Little Dolly Daydreams" !!!
    Did you know that Labs are second cousins to pigs, crossed with vacuum cleaners?!!
    Take care, Honey. L.O.L. & G.B.H. from
    Raife
