~Nice People~

Some people are just good..they are so kind and these kind

of people I consider necessary..My ATM card looks so bad I

am surprised it still works.. I called the bank and told them my

card needs replaced...The stock answer was, "you have to come

into the bank so we can verify its you". I went thru my little diddy

that I HATE using.."Bonnie, Im a double above knee amputee

in a wheel chair, can we work out some other arrangements"..

At first she was adamant.. and said I HAD to go in there.. Then

all of sudden Bonnie says, "I will come to your house and let you

sign the paper to get a new card". NOW..is that generous and

kind or what? This is just what I mean..some can make it so

easy for us to be like this..then others can make it so hard, not

giving us any allowance as far as doing things..I thanked her

a dozen times.. She walked in.. I showed her my card, she gave

me a clipboard with a paper on it.. I signed, she left..just THAT

fast.. and that easy..She was very nice to do that for me..

I have used that phrase so many times..'Im a dak, in a chair" I

get so upset sometimes that I do say that... I honestly wish I didn't

have to just to get a different or easier way of doing things.. I

get upset sometimes when I hear myself saying that.. and yet I

cant help it.. It is so hard for me to say it.. but I do... I guess it

really boils down to the fact that I hate I have to use that.. that I

am a dak and in a chair...but I really don't have a choice...

Heidi came today..she is so pretty. she may spend Saturday here,

she wants me to teach her how to make some earrings.. Bless her

heart, she had all her stuff stolen..some guys broke into her house

and cleaned it out.. took all her kids things, she has 3, furniture

even her food..their clothes.. She tries so hard.. and shes such a

pretty thing... I have all the supplies to make tons of earrings and

she will be able to make tons of them... I have a thing about jewelery,

I LOVE IT... I have some wonderful old pieces that were my moms

and my grandmothers.. I have my mothers MOM ring and I need to

get it fixed...a stone came out.. Since Penny missed Monday she is

coming again tomorrow to make up her time..and she is going to

take it to the jewelers for me.. I need my bracelet fixed too and Im

going to get it fixed.. The ring is lovely..all the birthstones..there are

5.. I have a finger all ready and waiting for it...

Heidi did give me some good news.. I will ask Theresa about it

when she comes tomorrow.. But Heidi said she talked to a Lori

down at CMH and she read the terms of my grant to her..and the

grant is a permanent one according to this contract Lori has..I

asked Heidi to get a copy for me..A guy by the name of Dough at

CMH has taken it upon him self to put a limit on it..and its not his

to do.. So if this IS the case.. As soon as I get my copy and I read

that in it.. well then .. I will have a bigger place..one that I can get

around in ..and specially one I can have company for dinner and

eat at a nice table..and not a TV tray in the living room... I enjoy

visitors.. and if I had a nice guest bedroom then my guests could

stay here and not spend the money for a motel room... I would love

the extra room. So soon as I SEE this.. well..the attack begins..

the search is on...:-)

I splurged and had Penny go and get me 3 egg rolls from this little

store just down the road.. they are SO good.. bad thing is they are

$2.oo each..which is kind of a lot..but for something good..well the

cost really doesn't matter.. I think im worth that.. I worked hard this

week already..since Penny didn't come monday..She is coming

again tomorrow to make up her time..which will be good to get

some extra stuff done. We have been discussing the cookies she

is going to make for Christmas.. I plan to get the ingredients and

she will do the baking.. Penny and her sister Kathy bake a lot for

the holidays, Kathy has the adult foster care house and 6 ladies

to care for..so the baking is all done at her big kitchen.. Works

out good for me though I end up with dozens of cookies and fudge,

and the ingredients arent all that much.. I think Im on the winning

end of that transaction.. I still have NO idea what I am getting the

kids.. I have no idea at all...

I phoned Dawn last nite and we had the best laugh..Donald and

his GarageMahal.. that's what we call it.. Hes so fussy about even

the slightest thing to be done.. it ALL has to Be perfect.. Dawn

said.."Gran, hes put 23 outlets in that garage".. 23?? That's more

than I have in this WHOLE house~!~ He does NOT believe in

extension cords.. This is a 2 car garage, my friend has a garage

he redid, he said "tell Don, he did better than me..well done, I only

have 20 in mine".. we laughed.. Men.. and they say Women are so

bad and picky..:-)

Well was a busy day today, but very good.. the bank..Heidi, Penny,

and I am tired.. I need to get out of this chair, watch some TV.. I did

not see even the end of Two and a Half Men last night that ended

at 8.. I was already down for the count, I did sleep later today tho, I

didn't get up till 7.. I was a lazy Bones. And Im right back to square

one.. Im re tired again..time to re-coup the rescources.. I have to

stay GORGEOUS and sleep is the best way :-) "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.....
