~Acomplishments~ :-)

I did accomplish some things today, they werent really hard to

do, I had just been putting off doing them.. I have 2 skirts that

had gotten ripped..and a top that needed repaired.. I sat this

morning and fixed them..I now have my 2 of my favorite skirts

back and usable again after months of just hanging.. One is a

really beautiful red pleated..and it has another design in it that

makes a nice edge around the bottom.. The other I havent had

it on in ages.. Its black with all sorts of colors in it.. Purple, white,

burgundy and a turquoise..and that color I don't have in a top..I

would like to have one though.. I really fixed 2 tops that were

torn and I honestly don't know how they got that way..One is the

purple that matches my purple skirt, the one that was pants before.

the trim at the shoulder had gotten torn and didn't take long to

fix it.. I just never found the time.. The other a beautiful black top

with sequins all around the neck, very dressy... But I feel good

that I finally fixed these things.. specially the skirts..

While Penny went to the store today I peeled and sliced up some

potatoes and onion. When she got back she made them into a

meat pie..adding the ground meat..and of course the pie crust

over the top..Its so easy to make and it is really good.. and its

even better the next day.. So I will have this for 2 days.. which I

don't mind at all... Penny had planned to have to cut up the

onions and potatoes when she got back but I figgured I was the

one going to enjoy eating it I could at least help to fix it.. Every

one we have made have been really good..

I have been trying to think of ways to make this place better

for me to do things..I still havent decided on what to do as far as

looking for another place.. This grant thing still has me worried..

I havent heard from Keystone now since before Christmas when

Chris brought that great blanket to me.. I will just wait and see

when and if they get in touch with me.. Im sure they will its just a

matter of when and if they hired someone to do Heidi's job.. But I

still worry about the grant every day..I hate that..but.. I just couldn't

go thru what I did before when I went to Keystone.. I guard every

penny now and save every dime I can just so I can have a little

back up money..The only thing is..every time I get something put

back, which is never very much, something falls apart or I have to

replace stuff.. or worse yet we have a 5 week month..Those are

just killer.. I have been thinking of ways to improve it here tho..

if that's possible.. with some work it could be...

I had that bad sore throat yesterday and I still do today but not as

bad.. I noticed that all 3 of us are coughing..Dutch never did..LB, he

has since he was little..Im wondering if it could be this house.. I keep

a bowl of water in the kitchen sink for them to drink out of and that

puts some moisture in the air up here..which we are trying to draw it

OUT of the basement.. I got a little jar of jam from Theresa..I had put

some water in it to soak and I for some reason set it on the table..

This was a while back..ever since then ..the boys drink out of that

little jar.. I have to fill it at least twice a day..Why they drink out of it

I have no idea knowing there is one in the sink right next ...Today,

Penny was fixing the meat pie..LB and Dutch were fighting really

bad in here by me.. I stopped, yelled and rolled closer to them to

break it up they were biting and clawing each other both were

seriously mad .. When they saw me coming they both ran of course..

Dutch isnt known for immediate stops when he is in a full run.. He

ran into the kitchen, jumped up on the table next to where Penny was

working and slid on his butt right into that little jar full of water..Well

of course it went EVERYWHERE, I heard Penny say "DUTCH!" I

rolled in there and the boy was running so fast..the top of the table

was slippery anyway..then the water.. well that table is up against

the window..the boy slid right straight across it, went off the edge

and down to the window sill which is about 6 inches lower than the

table.. I could hear Penny laughing..and when I got out there heres

the boy sitting there between the table and window water all over

and looking at me like.."Ma, I didn't do this.".. I had to laugh.. Poor

Penny had to wipe up all the water.. I told Penny that kids at least

can clean up their own messes..these cats are just as bad as kids

but cant CLEAN ! ... It was funny tho.. never dull here...

At least I feel I did something today.. I even sat for a while and worked

on this darn dish cloth..I wonder if I ever will finish it, the rate im going

I will have it ready for next Christmas.. now Im going to have some

of that meat pie and watch TV.. Im tired and need OUT of this chair,

Y'all don't forget the 20th now..that's my birthday and if you need my

address just write and let me know.. ..Is THAT a hint or what? :-)

This GORGEOUS WEEBLE bids you a fond "Nitey Nite" :-)

Y'all have a good one now, Y'hear? Love ya, and thanks :-)

Always, Lois ****
