~Clothes Are Great~

I need a wig.. a whole head one.. just for days when my hair

no matter what I do decides to look like crap.. I need to put in

another hair rinse.. I have found that I do have GREY hair ! Its

an ok color..but..well I prefer blonde.. Its so hard to do my own

though ...what I have to go thru its not easy.. Plus the strain on

my arms holding them up to be able to put a rinse in ... you

don't just dump it on your head and hope for the best, If you

want it to look nice you don't do that... Then ends don't change

color anyway, its only the roots..so that's the only place you have

to put it.. well depends on long it is between rinses.. Its been ..

a VERY long time since I have put one in.. I wanted to have it

done at the beauty shop..but that's just WAY out of my budget.

So anyway, DONT look at my iccky hair.. If you notice I do

match quite well :-) I like paisley prints.. that's what my skirt is.
I have my turquoise top that I can wear with this skirt too..and

the look totally changes.. Its so neat that just changing my top

I can change the look of a skirt.. I love clothes :-)

I have to admit..being a sewer ..well no.. I can sew..but I consider

my self pretty close to an expert..so I call myself a SEAMSTRESS..

I watched a wedding show on tv..a bridesmaid needed to have her

dress altered, day before the wedding, this poor wedding planner

called all over and could NOT find ONE seamstress that could fix

that dress for them.. I looked in the phone book and have asked

around here too if there are any.. only places now to take clothes

to be altered are to some dry cleaners, they sometimes retain a

seamstress to do work for them... but they are Getting to be a lost

art.. Like my Aunt Phyllis.. she could embroider, she did cut work,

which is almost another lost art.. she LOVED to do that.. she

would sit for hours and hours and make some of the most wonderfully

beautiful pillow cases and dresser scarves.. pictures.. I have quite

a few of her things she did.. I have a beautiful tablecloth she did..Its

packed away... so many of my nice things are still in boxes..

I have so much stuff still packed up..and I have lots of things that I

don't really Use but don't want to get rid of either.. I sat in the kitchen

this morning looking around at what was out, the walls.. what I could

do to fix it up..I have 2 bins in there with dishes and my tea pots..I

think that I should put them out so I can see them, but with such a

limit on space I cant.. I cant take out any of these great things I have

packed away still.. My tablecloths..my antiques lamps that I had out

for a while.. all of those are packed away again.. I need the room to

put things I need to use every day or when I want to cook .. My wood

dining room table, that was my mothers, it looked so pretty when it

had a lovely lace table cloth on it.. or the one my Aunt did.. Now it

has my micro wave , bread Box , knives. napkins, you would never

know that was the same table, I worry about it that it might get a

scratch or something but.. I have no choice but to use it..my other

one is too small..and this being wood it would look like the chairs

that are down the basement that match..all moldy and smelly.. I

should have a big garage sale.. but then I keep a distant hope that

maybe SOMEDAY I might get a bigger place again..that I can

have all these things out to see and enjoy.. One of these days. :-)

I have decided for this month, well April.. I have been VERY good and

I think I am going to treat myself to a treat.. I havent decided what yet

for sure.. I am leaning towards a screen door that I saw in a Carol

Wright gifts catalog.. that I can put here in this living room doorway and

not worry about the boys, I KNOW Ill enjoy the fresh air.. Then I had

thought about chimes for the porch as a treat.. or that bird feeder I

put here the other day, Im not sure...I can only have ONE, so I have to

make sure its the right ONE ! :-) I think we would all enjoy the screen

the most..so that might be what I pick.. I am going to ask Donnie if

perhaps he might have one or know someone that does..then I could

get the feeder, I think the Boys and the birds would enjoy that more

than the chimes.. Decisions, decisions,, its SO hard to decide which

I want more :-)

What I want more of right now is a more comfortable way to sit and its

NOT in this chair..Even though Today was a nice quiet Sunday and I

didn't do one thing but play on this puter and eat..I sat the whole time,

but NOW I want to sit on something more cushy like my bed..so I am

headed back to watch TV .. well after I have a piece of cake...

GORGEOUS WEEBLES love cake!!! :-) "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.....
