~Nice Surprise Day~

Im sitting here listening to some old R & R songs and trying

to think of what I am going to write about today.. It was a sort

of quiet day..Not a lot going on.. I did get a nice surprise tho..

I hadnt looked at the date for ordering the Angel Food and I

missed the ordering date, but I did call..The lady called me

back and I explained to her that I didn't pay attention and it

was my own fault for missing the ordering date.. I asked if

they ever get extras and if they did could they keep me in mind.

About 11 or so a knock at the door and was the pastor and

his wife and they had a huge box that someone had ordered

and then donated back..and they brought it to me.. Now, how

nice is that.. there was chicken and sausage and beef patties

and potatoes..even a pie.. Needless to say my freezer is VERY

full.. I thanked them very much for being so kind..that was really

nice of them..

Penny came today but by the time we realized the banks were

already closed she couldn't make it there to cash a check to

be able to go and get the keyboard and mouse.. She can go

Monday, I havent been doing a lot on here just to keep this one

going and its doing ok..still worries me though.. I will feel better

with a new one..I like having a spare..that is always such a good

idea.. that's why I want a lap top so badly..Never know I could

end up in bed or something and not be able to get out here to

this one.. that's why I want a portable one..Ive been watching

the ads and in time the prices of them will come down...

Donnie stopped by today, he was getting a propane tank filled

here in town, he had the dog with him..That is the biggest

chocolate lab ive seen..Jerky is HUGE..I swear if he hits you

with his tail would leave a bruise! Hes a strong and beautiful

animal..very hyper though moreso that a golden..Donnie had

a golden Lab named DJ for years..he grew up with Kelli..he

was a wonderful dog..smart too..They let him out one morning

and he never came home..We were all sick to Lose that dog..

He is going to get some plastic for me from Mike, you cant

see through it but that doesn't matter its for on the porch..On

Monday or Tuesday he said he would come by and put it up..

It shouldn't take long to do.. It will make a big difference in

here.. If I can get some lined drapes for the bedroom that

will make the drafties disappear.. I don't have the heart to

ask Donnie to put plastic up on them.. It did have some on

at one time on the outside, I can see it in the photos I took

not long ago of the Boys in the bedroom window.. They

didn't strip the old off, looks like just ripped the plastic off.

I think the drapes will help..I saw some in a catalog that

were pretty cheap.. I sometimes wish I had a credit card,

then I could order online..but then again..I think its probly

BEST I don't !!! I had one once and sadly my ex charged

it up during our divorce when I was so ill..I got stuck with

the payments since it was in my name.. I vowed I would

never have another one..Its too easy to buy and not have the

money when you have a credit card.. Im lots safer having

to order via snail mail..then I have time to think do I really

want to spend the money or not..

Ive been thinking of all I want to do that I can do..me..by my

self that I don't need help with..well..to be quite honest..I don't

think any of the stuff I need done I can do by myself..well no,

I think I can paint this wall here in the living room ..:-) I know

that's almost an accident waiting to happen for me considering

what I went through just doing touch ups in the kitchen..So I

am still debating if I want to go near paint or not.. I sure would

like this painted though.. and I get rid of that chair that's giving

me fits.. I was going to ask Donnie to day to do the chair but

with Jerky and the cats..well that wouldn't be good..so when he

comes Monday or Tuesday I may ask him to put the chair out

on the porch..after he puts the plastic up..he might have enough

plastic left to cover the chair too.. It will be so nice to get this

place neat and all in order.. I am going to see about a filing

cabinet too.. I really could neat this place up with one..All this

stuff I have all over I could put in it..and they have some of the

prettiest file folders too from Current..they have some really

nice stuff... I just would like to get this place fixed..no matter

what I do..its a year Im in here..its time this place was in shape.

Im starved and I think Im going to make me a Philly beef steak

sandwich..with sauteed onions..and maybe some Swiss cheese,

Im not positive about the cheese this time of day..Sometimes it

really doesn't agree with me.. I had a rough night last nite I got

up 4 times..I had an upset stomach plus this cold seems to get

worse at night and Im coughing again.. My sis called last nite

and said I sound awful.. that made me feel good.. I told her if I

look like I feel then I sure cant say im a GORGEOUS WEEBLE

then can I? :-).. I can say time for food and then TV and of

course.. "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.....
