~I Made Some Calls~ :-)

I got a few things accomplished today, I made some phone calls,

one to the SS dept to find out what happened to my papers that

I sent to them that they promised to send right back.. That was

quite awhile back.. Its time I got them... They better not have lost

them.. That's why I hate when these places ask that you send stuff

in, unless you pay for registered mail..well you wont know if they

even got it.. I should have asked about sending copies.. I could

have made them.. Not that I really ever expected to need my divorce

papers..but well I kept them all this time...and I did need them but

I keep everything..that's part of my problem..
Ive seen different things that were offered at special prices and

even some for free and they struck my eye so I got them.. I was

talking to a friend of mine today and we were discussing stamps.

Over the years I have kept ones that I liked ..the color or what they

were of.. I sent away for a first issue of our postage stamp that

was of the American flag..for free too..it came in a nice presentation

envelope..and you can see the gold one.. and there was the card

that told all about it. For giving it away it was really nice, that's why

I sent for it.. That was in 1985. I will keep it and pass it along to

Donnie and then I know he will give it to Kelli.. I would imagine in a

few more years it might be valuable..well if it isnt already.. I didn't

look it up to see.. I just liked it, sent for it..and I managed to keep it.
I bought 4 of the Elvis stamps, just because I like him..Talented man.

I gave 2 of them away but I cant remember to whom.. I just liked them

and bought them too..I don't remember when they came out... Those

arent post marked..they've never been used and kept in a cellophane.

They look like brand new.. I like keeping different things.. I even have

some old marbles and some wonderful coins... I managed, with the

help of a friend to put together 2 books of the state quarters and Im

working on 2 more sets but in each of the printing sets..there is the

D set and the P set.. meaning they printed in Denver and Philadelphia.

They are almost full.. Next year the last in the set will come out..as

they do I told Donnie I would get the ones for his book too. I gave him

and Dawn a set for Christmas..they really liked that.. I think Donnie

liked the box with the sausage and cheese in it better tho :-)
I have had a killer headache all day and I have NO idea why..but I wish

it would quit.. There is an updated photo of my ugly thumb.. I just don't

know what to do with it anymore.. Sometimes it itches so bad..but when

I put any pressure on that light spot..it really hurts as its raw under there.

You can see sort of a line going up kinda from the right side, that's where

it got so dry and ickky that it cracked open when I bumped it against

the wall.. That is a lot of the problem.. I get in a hurry and I misjudge the

door and then slam my hand or get a finger..jammed and that hurts..All

my finger nails have gotten so damaged that I have cut them all back

to get them all at the same length again...That green bottle is my Icee,
from Dairy Queen..I LOVE those things..they are sticky tho :-)

Penny came today and we are all clean..and she even made 4 stuffed

peppers that are cooking out in the kitchen in the crock pot..They smell

so good.. I havent made them in..well I don't remember the last time..

Its been TOO long.. Im not inviting the boy over till I have eaten them..

Or I will get only 1 of the 4 in that pot out there..and I promised I would

save one for Penny, she made them, but by my recipe and not hers, so

she would like to try them.. I know these are good.. and can name a few

that could give a good recommendation on my recipes.. I have my

mothers and my grandmothers recipe boxes and books.. and they were

some of the best cooks in Iron County..

I am posting this..and going to lay it down for a while and see if this

headache will stop.. I do feel better though.. I still get very tired if I do

too much , but Im better..cant keep a GORGEOUS WEEBLE down..

and I HAVE to be better by sunday..y'all better NOT forget THAT day!

"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.....
