~Fresh Air Again~ :-)

Beautiful day today with my door open again, letting in all
that fresh air and airing out this house.. The boys love it.
At times if a real loud truck goes by it scares them but
they like the air.. The sun comes in too which they LOVE
to lay in it... Donnie came by as he was running an errand
for the lady next door to him. He helps her out, even more
so now that her husband died. We talked about fixing this
front porch so I can go out there making the floor all one
level..how much wood it would take.. I know he can fix it..hes
very good at that kind of stuff. He remodeled almost the
whole farmhouse where he used to live...Hes a talented guy.
Well he would like for me to be able to get outside too. He
knows how badly I would love to live on the lake. The other
place that was for sale has already sold which I knew it would
being so cheap.

I sat in the doorway this morning with a cup of coffee and it
reminded me of all the mornings I had coffee out on my lanai.
I miss that.. I thought if I used my power chair I would be able
to do that if I got this porch fixed.. I couldn't go out there in this
manual, not carrying coffee.. I doubt the coffee would make
it or I would leave a trail behind me.. Going across this carpet
carrying anything is VERY hard to do.. I need both hands and
all the strength I have to roll across it.. And its harder once I
get into my bedroom..that's why I only go in and out of it once
a day and once a night.. that's it...

Donnie went to get the lawnmower part for his neighbor and is
going to check the cost for the wood for the porch.. He said it
would only take 2 sheets of 4 x 8 half inch plywood.. and some
other stuff for the brace underneath.. This little house could be
fixed up so easily and made adaptable.. But Its just not possible,
I just have to do only what is easy and feasable.. which isnt much.
The things I see in my minds eye to make this a nice house for me
wouldn't be that hard to do..but its that same problem with every
thing..MONEY...I keep saying "I need to win the lottery" but then I
don't remember to get a ticket !... cant win that way...Only way
you can win is to TRY :-) and that's concerning everything..

Ive been eating pretty light but havent had anything today.. A nice
juicy burger with sauteed onions sure sounds good..but... well I
don't know yet how good that would sit..and Im not taking any
chances.. I am so glad to be over what ever it was I had.. I was so
miserable I couldn't even explain it...Im feeling ALMOST back to
my totally GORGEOUS WEEBLE self :-) and I am GLAD...But I
do need food.. so, its time "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.....

    The price of ply-wood went up with tyhe beginning of the Iraq war. As more troops are needed in Afghanistan will the price of ply-wood continue to go up? Enjoy the spring.

    Yes the sun was shining today, but that wind was cold...it is 56 F right now.
    Had a another on the go all day again...but being around the first, does not help at all.
    They didn't come and get Patsy car today, so that upsetting for her.
    I always ask her if she want to go with me when I have to get out. It sure is hard for her to do without her car.
    Have a great Sunday Lois.
    My family is getting together this Sunday after Church for lunch, it is so nice to go out to eat and not do all that work. I know my age is telling on me.

    Hi, Honey,
    My Lottery ticket ran out yesterday, so I'm fixing to get a new one on Tuesday, it being a Bank Holiday to-morrow, Monday.
    I haven't had the current card checked, so, who knows, there might be a few million Pounds just sitting, waiting - I'll keep you posted!!
    I have had three £10 wins this year so far. Who knows when THE BIGGIE will pop up! ;o)
    Then I'll sort my kids out and my fav. Weeble AND my Russian friend - wouldn't that be great!!
    Well, I can dream, can't I?
    Take care, Honey,
    Luv Ya,
    Raife
