~Photo Day~ :-)

Well there you see one of the 2 I saved for today of my visit to

the Dr on wed. I didn't like them really well..but fooey its just me.

There you see me in all my glory..:-) we were leaving the Drs.

Curtis had moved back so as to not be in the picture and I was

telling him to come on..it was hot out there..too hot for stalling

around.. I told Penny not to be fussy..just snap away, but she

likes to aim and its not that easy with the digital display window.

I like having to look through a view finder, with the display it can

change the lighting on you when you think you have enough but

don't.. I prefer the viewfinder, Im not complaining now..no way..

I love having a camera..and taking photos.. I just need the rides

now to go and take them..
I think would be kinda nice to have my own van. I have a garage,

and even if I didn't drive it..if and when I am fortunate enough to

have someone come to visit, they could drive it..and then would

be no worries about my chair, with a lift, be very easy..well a ramp

would be good too..like what is on the coa van..If the front passenger

seat was out a wheel chair could go right there.. I think that would

be so nice.. Once I got it then I would have to LURE someone here

to take me for the rides! Ive not gotten any volunteers here..in the

UK I have :-) well company is always welcome and would be nice

to have a way to show them around even if they had to drive..

I wasn't backing up on that ramp by myself..no..Im not the best driver

in this chair you know..look at my door facings again..I should take

photos to show where I knocked the paint right off again..I need

edge protectors..if this was mine, it would have them.. I get in a

hurry and aim wrong and hit the side.. My poor table is taking a

beating with this new bigger fridge.. I am seriously thinking of

changing my kitchen around..Its just not working like it is now..
I need to redo it..then maybe I would feel more like cooking..

My tale of my 2 hour shower seemed well recieved..Penny comes

tomorrow and I will have HER dig that bench out and I will take

photos so you can see how close they are and I will have her take

one of me showing how close I have to get .. be interesting I

think.. this isnt easy by any means..by the time I do all this washing

of body and hair, then do all the drying off..then the hair..my arms

ache so bad..I have to stop many times and just put my arms down

to get them to stop aching..then because I am reaching up Im also

sitting different which puts more pressure on the ends of my stumps,

which they arent used to and THEY ache..THEN I still have to dig

out clothes that are jammed in my closet THEN get back and put

them on.. All this stuff is not just a fast easy thing to do...I take bird

baths in between the main shower thing.. I just wash all over at

the bathroom sink..its almost the same with out the running water,

I wash just as throughly only thing I don't do is my hair.. To go thru

the shower routine every day would wear me out.. besides..I don't

get dirty..by sitting here? I don't sweat ..no no perspire now any

more since the air conditioner..so I smell pretty good..well when I

can find my favorite perfumes.. Avon used to have some really

nice smelling called Hawaiian White Ginger..THAT was good

stuff. I liked it.. Reminds me of White Shoulders.. my fav.

Tomorrow is shopping day, today is the first and the stamps are

there but Penny wont be here till tomorrow.. I'll go thru the online

ads for Meijers and see what they have on sale..Last week they

had the shrimp buy one get 2 free .you cant beat that..and they

are excellent..fresh frozen ..big as my index finger just about..

good size..and tasty too..with some cocktail sauce? yes..very

good.. I like those sizzler steaks too they make great sandwich's

fast..takes longer to saute the onion.. Anyway.. im glad..then on

Tuesday, Wednesday being the 4 th of July, is the free food box

distribution..there is some really good things in it.. I missed not

getting it.. That CAA is hardly ever open and Penny has to go

and sign so she can pick it up..before they delivered..They

have big logs of the greatest cheese..almost as good as Kraft

Velvetta ..its good and freezes good too.. I cut it in half and give

half to Dawn.. It will be good to be all stocked in the freezer.. its

so great having one.. I really appreciate having it..

Well Its time to dig something out of it for dinner, what I don't

know..I have not a whole lot in there.. I know I have 2 icees..

They are so good but take awhile to thaw enough so I can drink

them.. :-) I bet I check it every 10 minutes waiting for it to thaw.

Theyre so good.. Time for food, TV and to say "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..
