~Door Knockers~

Eventful day, one that started off with a HELL of a bang, let me

tell you.. Scared the you-know-what otta me- it ALMOST did, I

know by the time it was done I had to sit and wait for the thumping

of my heart to stop.. I was reading my mail this morning about

7:30 am..and there was the loudest BANG...BANG..BANG,

POUNDING at the door.. I didn't know WHAT to think .. I have

to be behind the door and almost totally open it to see who is

out there.. As I rolled past the door going to see who was there,

I saw someone looking in the kitchen window.. I sort of frowned,

the lady backed up, waved, and I could see who it was.. . . do

you see the end of one car, then on the right the end of another?

Well that photo there is what cars those 2 were..The Police.. I

was shaking so bad when that woman backed up and I could

see she was a cop, I don't know if I frowned, smile, looked

totally confused, scared or what.. I got to the door and there

was this HUGE man, a cop..asked if Stuart or Duane .. I don't

even remember I was so shaken.. I assured him there was NO

ONE here but me, and I didn't know anyone by that name at all.

I told him who my landlord is and he knew him.. He apologized

for the interruption and went out the door. I noticed as he went

thru it that he actually had to lower his head to get thru and almost

go sideways, that's how big this guy was..or maybe he just seemed

that huge to me..
I went out in the kitchen to get another cup of coffee to try to slow

down from that drastic adrenelin pumper episode.. As I went

past the kitchen window that's behind the bakers rack, the blind

was open, I saw the cars there, and I saw the 2 officers across

the street at the orange house talking to a man over there.. They

were there for quite a while, then they left.. I was shaking..scared

me.. they could have called first lol.. My hands were shaking so

bad when I got my cup of coffee I spilled some on the floor even..

I just have such a bad reaction to cops..not to Blue though, well

maybe cuz hes a retired one..
Well you see the car, a convertible, is up for sale.. I want you to

know, what I did today.. I was so tired of saying that place across

the street, I went thru the yellow pages until I found a listing of a

garage that by the addy had to be it.. Its name is PENNY
AUTOMOTIVE.. NOW..will THAT be easy to remember? I called

over there, and told some guy that answered, I never did get his

name...that I see that car out there and what kind was it and how

much do they want for it.. I told him I watched as he put the top down

on it a while ago..he laughed..I mentioned that I had put photos of

that GORGEOUS car on here before and that this GORGEOUS

WEEBLE would look just THAT in that car!! So ok ..here's the

scoopy on it..I wasn't far off. . I said a Pontiac.. well it is a 1972

Oldsmobile Delta Royale or something like that.. and they want

$5,000.oo for it.. I told him if I help them sell that car because

of this blog I better get a finders fee..We bought laughed at

that but I was serious.. It is a great car..I watched that top go up

and back and down, just smooth as can be..great car...

Well I think my girl got her van fixed.. She came here this morning

in Eddys truck and when she went to get my icees they met down

at the gas station and traded back..It was just some minor thing,

that was causing it to not run on all fours so to speak..Eddy did

some little thing and its running fine now she said..shes so

very relieved.. I am too... she is trying so hard to make a go of it,

and shes so nice, I hate when things go badly for her.. I wish I

had that bigger place though so she could live by me, solve a lot

of her problems and mine too.. . and I think as talented as she

and I both are we could make some money on the side doing some

sewing and making quilts and stuff.. Im glad she is back on the

road.. I havent heard from Donnie about the one he knows about,

so I will call him later, he always has a zillion things to do after work.

I know hes trying to get that garage wired so he can finish it up and

then he can get that stuff out of my garage, not that its in the way

or anything I don't need that for anything.. it doesn't have a big door

on it..so its really more of a car port.. it works to keep snow off tho

and many a times I wish I had that so I wouldn't have to scrape

the windshield..the best window scraper is a credit card.. I kept

old worn out ones and used that ..works great..

Time to work this chair out to the kitchen.. I got up at 3am..wide awake,

But I fell asleep had to be about 8, so was a long sleep..but I did get

really tired about 10:30 this morning, got my 2nd wind so to speak and

Im ready to get out of this chair for the nite, and Im in need of a snack.
You know the routine..."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.....
