~Nice Day~ :-)

Quiet Saturday today, not much going on at all and I
didn't do too much other than to make some chicken
& tomatoes again..That is so good.. I did order this
months food from the Angel Food Ministry..That is
such a good thing..and you get so much and its not just
left over type its all name brand all wrapped securely
and its really good.. What I got for Donnie last time he
has really enjoyed.. Lots of people buy it..and many do
so they can donate it to the food pantry or if they have
a church family that could use some extra food..its a
really good thing..and its in I think just about every state
and most towns.. My sister has it at her church..Its really
good and I highly recommend it..

I was sitting here making a plan of attack to get this place
squared away until I can get another.. I phoned the lady
with the house on the lake and left a message but I havent
gotten a call back, and I noticed the ad was taken from the
paper so I have a sinking feeling its rented..And for that
amount of rent I knew it wouldn't last long and being on one
of the nicest lakes in the area.. I had thought about putting
an ad in the paper about wanting to rent a house and put
it had to be wheel chair accessible inside.. I can fix the out
side since I already have a ramp, but until I do find and can
get another house, I need to get this one squared away and
get things I am not going to use or need again and get rid
of them.. I hope I can sell this chair, I really could use the
money, but if I cant..well I could donate it to a nursing home
or somewhere... I just want to get rid of it.. Before I do move
I have a lot of stuff I need to filter out that I don't need.. NOT
my clothes of course.. I HAVE to have them.. but I have
a lot of extra JUNK that I hang on to thinking I MAY need it.
well that MAY never shows up again...

I made coffee this morning and I spilled it on the way into the
living room and left a nice trail behind me.. I didn't want to
back up or I would roll thru it..so I pushed myself through the
doorway into the living room..as I got to the door I was going
too fast, as usual, and I hit the door frame and spilled coffee
then all over the carpet.. I finally made it to my desk, with no
further mishaps..got some napkins and started to wipe my
way back into the kitchen so to speak.. by the time I got to the
last of it my arms ached and I had NO desire to drink anything
right then after being folded in half like that.. I forget how short
my arms are and still try to wipe up the floor, knowing I can only
just with my fingertips reach the floor..if I lean over the arm
rest I cant even get near it.. I tried to pick something up yesterday
when Penny was here, I leaned over the arm rest and my fingers
didn't even come close to it.. Penny laughed at me and she got
it for me..I told her its hell being short..she knows..shes no bigger
than a minute herself.. I bet she weighs 50 pounds soaking wet!
Shes tiny and sure doesn't look like a gramma of 4 I think..and
another on the way by her son.. He moved to Detroit and she and
I looked up the train fare there its only 46.oo round trip..that's not
bad, I told her maybe the next time she goes I would go along,
I have some good friends there in that area I havent seen in years
that would be so nice to see them...

Well my chicken is done and waiting for me.. this was a good
day and Im glad..no stress and just a nice end to a hectic week..
Time for food, TV and sleep..of course not necessarily In that
order.. Hope y'all had a great Saturday too "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.....

    We have food pantries here, and some of them get surplus foods such as pizza. I know a minister who gets me excellent bakery goods.In europe there public trans-portation Is much better than ours. In Switzerland they used to haul the mail from city to suburbs in Postal Buses.

    Dearest dear one!
    There is steelcups with a lid on them, and a little hole to sip from... This hole can be closed as you drive...Yes they sell those mugs at petrolstations, cause u dont wanna spill coffee in the car!

    Hugs
    Your own
