~Nut Gatherin Time ~ :-)

My tree is getting more bare every day and you can see the

wonderful blanket it has put underneath it..These photos of

this tree don't really do it justice its so pretty.. Those squirrels

have been busy busy lately..That means its going to be a cold

hard winter..Squirrels are gathering nuts..stay out of the woods.

Why you think we don't go outside.?.We would be the first 3 nuts

theyd drag off :-)
I usually take this suncatcher down when Im taking pictures out

of this kitchen window ..but I thought this time I would take one

just of it.. My sister gave this to me, knowing how I love kitties,

and suncatchers..Its not a plastic one..glass and one of my very

best favorites.. I have a few but I cant really put them up..I had

them all over the door at the apartment, well anywhere ABOVE

Dutch's reach stayed there..the rest, well suction cups are one of his

favorite toys..So I had to take them down permanently or keep

putting them back up every day, that's if I could find the cups..

He would bat them all over the place, plus he thought nothing of

carrying them off in his mouth..This one he KNOWS he is NOT

to touch..and I do have it up kinda high..Note the lid on the

garbage can... they learned didn't they? :-)
Well there you see 2 spoiled kitties..NOW, they EACH have

their box..Although when Penny was here today she saw LB

asleep in his..Dutch was on my desk here, he jumped down,

jumped on LB who was in the OTHER box at the time..bit him

in the head..LB growled , got up and went into the box hes in.

Look at his pissy face..Hes so mad. Dutch looks so innocent.

Why LB gives in to him sometimes I have NO idea..Theyre

both ready to be shipped off..:-) they keep on I just might !
Ive had to have my heat on these past few cold days, sadly, I

dread winter just because of the high gas bills.. This vent is on the

left of the door going into the livingroom. When the furnace is on

this nice warm gentle air comes out of there and there you see,

theyre staying warm...

Today was an uneventful day.. I did find out my caseworker Julia

is going to retire which means I will have Sandy back..She was very

nice, but she took her sweet time to do anything.. She set my file

aside for 5 weeks, until I called her and reminded her again she had

to call and order what ever it was, I don't remember..but she called

while I was on hold..and I got that what ever it was , the very NEXT

day! THAT made me even madder! I accused HER of abuse and

neglect..I know these women have over 300 clients to take care of..

I am so very sorry about that..But EVERY one of us is VERY

important.. I may be one of many, but I am one of a Kind...Some one

sure needs to do something..but the way they are cutting corners

so bad here in Michigan ..well its us that feel the repercussions of

what they do in Lansing...We are always on the bottom of the list...

and get things taken away from us before any other minority...Its

really sad.. Those that really cant fend for themselves and MAKE

them selves known, like me, what are they to do? I feel for them..

and I wish there was something that could be done to help ease

the workload of these people..My DHS caseworker STILL has not

sent me notice she is my new caseworker..neither has DHS..I

know if it had to do with them taking something AWAY from me I

bet the state, county AND my caseworker would have sent me a

letter to tell me... Its really sad..

I am going to get off this computer, go in and watch my favorite

show..Two and a Half Men..I think that is one of the best shows on TV..

Charlie is a riot...hes so good..hes a wonderful actor..his dad..well..he

can put his shoes under MY bed anytime..well so could Charlie for

that matter..hes a Cutie pie... I laugh so hard at the things they do..and

Berta..shes a jewel..I just hope they don't take it off the air..that seems to

be what happens to all the good shows...like Cheers, Friends, Mash,

I saw a interview with Archie of All in the Family ..THAT was a great show.

Every body loved Archie.. he was good.. :-)

Well Id love to have some of that chicken and get this screaming

butt of mine out of this chair.. I sure can tell when I need to..feels like

im sitting on pins when I get over SAT.. :-) I slept good last nite

which I am most glad..those good sleeps are what keep me, this

GORGEOUS WEEBLE .... GORGEOUS !!! "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.....
