~Was a Good Day~ :-)

Donnie came by today to get his Christmas and to bring me a

roll of plastic for the front porch. He did a lot for me while he was

here. put the blanket back up over the window the cats pulled

down last nite.. I knew instantly when they did the cold air hit me

so suddenly.. He checked my cable and TV, some of my channels

are not coming in good.. . . he said the same as me, its an old

one and wont last much longer..He did go down and check the

filter in the furnace for me too..said I could use a new one and

told me what size to get to replace it.. He checked out my new

window and was curious as to why no storm then realized they

were double paned..even have locks on them so they can only

be opened so far..He said he needs some like that on his house.

He left bearing gifts as you see, plus his pocket on his jacket

was full of candy .. The Lions Club delivered the food basket

this morning.. I was amazed at how much stuff..a 20 pound

turkey for one thing.. I didn't know that..well that bird is on its

way in that box there to be deep fried by Donnie..Doug with

the Lions club called and said he would deliver the basket

and about 9:30 he was here.. Very nice man..I told him the

boys will love the box too..but you see Donnie has it, he

needed it to put his stuff in to get it home.. I will write a nice

thank you note to the Lions for giving all that to me..was very

nice of them...and to deliver it.. was specially nice...

About 1:30 today, talk about a surprise ! see that car? that's my

sister and Stanley, I was NOT expecting them..Scared me when

I hear this LOUD BANG! BANG ! BANG! I had locked the door

after Donnie left, I wasn't expecting anyone else...I opened it

and there they stand, Shirley says "we brought the rest of your

Christmas.. She sat on the couch and she proceeded to empty

2 bags she had carried in.. Stanley went right straight into the

kitchen, while Shirley is steady handing me caramels and

some bakery stuff like brownies, bars, she gave me a big can of

coffee and a HUGE package of TP (toilet paper) to me, TP is

a good gift..now, WHO cant use THAT?? :-) Then Stanley steps

back into the living room from the kitchen and goes over to

the desk and asks "where's a plug?"
There you see my tree..Isnt it lovely? its so pretty..you see who

is of course already over there looking at it..Its something like

the one I had..sure was a surprise..Shirley said she got one for

her sun porch and thought I would like one too since I didn't have

one..She is . No..THEY is, so good to me.. They brought so much

last week and again..Shes a good sis..Oh..and she brought me

some of that delicious Heavenly Ham..that has GOT to be the

very best.. Her sister Deidre sends her one every year and she

has to go to South Bend or somewhere to pick it up..She serves

it at her Christmas Eve late dinner after services. Its so good..

I am so set for food and goodies.. I LOVE caramels..and I had

to promise my self I will NOT eat them all in 2 days. .I love those

things..

What a day, I am so fortunate. I really am.. all these wonderful things

sent to me.. such wonderful gifts that I sincerely appreciate..These

total strangers that are bringing food and gifts.. how wonderful.. I

should never complain...so many have it so much worse..our poor

guys over there in that damn war...not home to have some of this

wonderful food and good times.. I should NEVER complain, I have

dear precious friends , food, and GOOD food, a home, 2 lovey

boys.. and I even have a dollar in the bank..hey..cant get any better

can it..? :-)

I went and laid down as soon as I posted yesterday and did not

get up except twice for a potty call until 4 am this morning. I slept

most of that time. I woke off and on to change positions.. I have

to sit up to be able to change how im laying.. I cant just move

around with no feet to help push me around...I grab my wheel

chair which is right up next to my bedside and pull my self up

then move which ever way , or sometimes just grab my stack

of pillows on the end of my bed I keep there for sleeping . I

pull them in front of me , lean forward and sleep. Ive done that

since I lost my right leg the first time.. But I slept most of the

time. this tiredness I guess is just part of being in the dumps

and I do think I am coming down with something.. I have had

a bad headache all day even though its been a good good good

day, but as soon as I post this I am going to go and get back

up on my bed and watch TV.. I did see a good old clint Eastwood

movie tho..FireFox.. hes so good..I think my favorite of his is

Outlaw Josey Wales.

Its time for this Tired GORGEOUS WEEBLE to get back on that

bed in there and just do nuthin but watch TV and gee I wonder if

I will fall asleep? :-) that's a stupid question :-) I might have to have

a peanut butter cookie first though "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.....
