~Morning Dove~

There is one of the morning doves that you can hear cooing

out there. Its a gray color with black spots on it.. Some people

I think eat these little birds..Well look at those Cornish hens

we can buy to cook.. Theyre good..I don't think I could eat one

of those doves though..That's like rabbits.. I cant eat those

either..There is a huge outdoor sports store down the road

that has a restaurant in it..they serve buffalo. rattlesnake and

all sorts of wild game there.. Im kinda glad im more of a

vegetarian than a meat eater I think..plus I like fish too..Some

of the fish they have here in these lakes are excellent. The

lake Donnie lives on is an excellent fishing lake. That's why

his dad likes to come down in the summer so he can take

Donnies pontoon boat out and just float around and fish all

day..It has a canopy so its out of the direct sun...That can

do you in..ask me how I know!!

One summer day, my ex and I and his brother and his wife

decided to go down to this huge lake, rent a boat and fish

all day..We got a nice 16 foot boat that had plenty of room

for the 4 of us and all our junk plus the fishing tackle..We

loaded up the boat and Davids brother said he knew the

lake and where the good fishing was..Mark and David

fished a lot they were brothers but good buddies as well.

Marks wife, Sheila and I were good friends too.. By the

time we got the boat out and launched and started to find

a place to fish it was about 8 am..early..and it was going

to be a beautiful hot sunny day...

As the day wore on we must have went around that lake

I know at least 3 times.. by 2 oclock I started feeling really

kinda bad.. I was so HOT.. I looked at that cool water all

around the boat and all I wanted to do was jump in so I

could cool off.. I started to get nauseated and I told the

others I had to go ashore and get in the shade..I was too

hot.. Mark started the engine and we started to head

back to the boat launch where the car was.. We got

almost there and the last thing I remember was David

saying.."are you ok?" ... I woke up sitting in the back

of an ambulance.. I had heat stroke ..I don't think Ive

ever been so sick from the sun but 1 other time and

that was when I fell asleep on the jettys in Galveston

for about 5 hours ...I learned NEVER to fall asleep if

you are laying in the sun!...the hard way...but I learn,

that's the main thing...

Rebecca came today from Keystone..she has 11 clients

she has to see in 3 days..shes busy.. She just moved into a

nice new duplex that's a lot bigger..I talked to her about

finding a bigger place for me so I can get my sewing up

and running again so maybe I can make a few extra dollars.

I explained to her I cant do it the way it is in here I just

don't have enough room..for cutting and sewing its just

wouldn't be easy..Shes going to keep an eye out .. I

would like to make some extra money while I work up

enough courage to fly again then I could afford a trip

to the UK.. I have a son and so many friends there I think

it would be a great holiday..If I could do some sewing it

wouldn't take me long to save up enough to take a holiday

there..I would like that..One of these days I will muster up

the courage to go.. I think the hard part is flying by myself.

If I had my legs..I wouldn't hesitate to go alone.. but like this

I just feel safer if I have someone with me to sort of ride

shotgun so to speak..

I have some leftover meatloaf and you KNOW how good

it is when its left over and made into a sandwich..VERY

good..trust me :-) so that's what Im gonna do..and then

watch TV for a while..Penny will be here tomorrow but

we don't have a lot to do.. I was going to make arrange-

ments for a ride to meijers but Curtis wasn't available

to take me.. so Penny and I will go next week one day.

She has a easy day tomorrow not a lot to do..and we

have been good no big messes thank goodness! Im

off to get my sandwich and relax so its that time again..

for my GORGEOUS WEEBLE "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.....
