~The Good Old Days~

I sat and listened to some really great oldies today, which I

LOVE music..just seems to really help me alot..always lifts

me up when im down.. I really don't like sad songs, the oldies,

those songs were sad, but they still said something. I listened

to the songs that were popular as I grew up and I look at the

photos that I have, and I sometimes say "Those were the good

days". And I think how nice it would be to be able to turn back

time to those days when now as I remember them they were the

good days,but at the time of the photo or perhaps when I had

heard a certain song,, back then I didn't consider them "The

Good Old Days". Thats Donnie and Kelli, 20 years ago...
That photo up top is of Kelli when she was about 3 and that is

one of the beautiful German shepherd dogs I had the joy of

owning..her name was Greta. she was only about 3 or 4 months

old..a wonderfully smart animal..and you can see Kelli loved her.

I have that photo on my desktop..I love putting my photos there.

I have them in a webshots program so they steady Change. Ive

had many when they visit watch the photos on my monitor, I have

my friends and family on it.. I enjoy it.. But when I see these photos

come up of Kelli and I see her with the animals I loved I think how

nice it would be to go back to those days..
This other photo is Kelli of course with my cat Skeeter. He was a

black Burmese and he LOVED Kelli..No one else could hold that

cat but her or myself.. He was a big cat..when Kelli was around

he followed her like she had him on a leash.. Look at the shoes

Kelli has on ...those were her Papa's shoes.. As soon as Willie

would take them off she made a B-line for them and wore them

all over..she did that since she first learned to walk. Was so cute

to watch her try to walk in those huge things.. But I look at these

photos..and think..those WERE the good days..but I think today

is a good day..they ALL really were..I wouldn't want to change

anything or this baby we are anxiously waiting for would NOT

be on the way !.. I guess its just the way we look at our days..

Carla was here this morning from the COA, she noticed the rash

on my hands..and I told her the whole story.. Shes very nice , she

does the In home evaluations.. and if we have a problem with

something there she is a good one to tell.. NOW..you KNOW I

didn't have ONE bad thing to say don't you? .. I only had the

ONE complaint and that was about them not knowing of a wheel

chair accessible beauty shop.. I know not everyone goes to one,

but they should have a list there of the places here that ARE

accessible for us.. They said for me to call and find out.. Well

its not really a biggie but.. I would think it would be a good thing

to have someone that knew these things..Im sure there are many

seniors that are in wheel chairs..

I tried to call and get hold of that melody person that has my food

stamp case and of course she has NOT returned my calls.. To cut

my stamps so drastically and not even listen to what I had to say

well she was wrong.. To cut them over 100 dollars..That is NOT

going to be very easy on me.. Why she thinks my income has gone

up before I even know it I don't understand.. If it IS true what she

says..well I would be very happy.. But SS says its NOT..so who do

I believe.. I got that extra money, but I refuse to spend a dime of it,

just for the fact of I KNOW how many they have sent money to and

then write and say "Oops..we want that money back".. Im not going

to take any chances.. I honestly do wish sometimes that I had those

good old days.. I worked my butt off But I didn't mind at all... I don't

mind working for what I want or what I feel will benefit me..but I guess

we are all that way to some extent..

Well we had a great warm sunny day but as I close this post the sky

has turned black and the wind is very strong and here comes the RAIN!

I don't mind listening to the rain when Im tired..well as long as it doesn't

do the thunder and lightening thing.. and that's just what its doing out

there.. The thunder scares the boys and they are both under the couch.

scaredy cats :-).. Well I am too but not THAT bad..Im headed out to

the kitchen to get a snack and then HOPEFULLY the power wont go

out like it usually does in a storm..and I will be able to watch TV.. The

weekend is ahead.. This GORGEOUS WEEBLE has Nothing to do,

well yes.. bid you "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.....
