~Father's Day~

Today is Father's Day, I miss my Dad to this very day -

he was called home in 1989 at 80 years old.. I have to

say of all the millions, I bet, people, I have met and

gotten to know..I have never met a man like him..He

was a good man..honest, strong, dependable and

just a very sweet soul..I never realized till these past

years when I would write my stories just what kind of

influence he really had on my life.. My Dad did good.

He taught me well..he prepared his daughter for any

thing that would come my way..Its all HIS fault for

how I am..:-) I mean that in a loving way.. He taught

me everything..by watching him and my mother and

how their love lasted 56 years..and they were as much

in love when they parted ways as they were when

they married in 1929... That taught me Love.. I learned

a lot and I honestly don't think I could have survived

this life if not for having him raise me..I think the Good

Lord knew what he was doing when he sent my

parents to get me all those years ago... :-) Happy

Father's Day Daddy... :-)

I still havent loaded my webcam or scanner printer on

to this new computer..I am not sure about my cam if I

should or not.. If its bad I don't want to affect this puter.

It didn't work all that great before so I'm kinda leary

about it.. I was going to hook up my 3 in 1 so I could

get the photos off my camera I took of my roses..But
I don't have my PSP installed either so I can reduce

the size of them and with my camera they are just too

big to put here..They ask the photos not be over 50kbs.

so I try to keep them small..So no photos till all this

stuff is connected...it will be this week...for sure..

My niece Mary Jane did some checking for me into my

birthmother, well her grandmother. She was born in 1922..

I was 10 months old when she gave me and all of us

away..she was 23 years old...and she had 6 kids.!. can

you imagine? Then to have her husband and father to

all of us committ suicide.. how sad..what could that poor

woman do? I often thought about why didn't my mothers

brothers or sisters all 13 of them take us kids so we

werent scattered.. Well my logic, since I know now, how old

she was then she may have been the oldest and the

others couldn't take us...I'm hoping that's the reason as

that used to bother me..All 6 of us kids scattered to

the wind...all but 2 of us were adopted..It was really a

miracle we even found each other but we did....But I

have more sympathy for her now..I wish I had gotten to

meet her like all the others did..They all knew her

except Frank and I ...she died young.. in a car accident

on the I-94...she was killed in 1974..she was 52.. I'm

glad that I could meet my sons again.. I wish I had met

my birth mother..my questions can never be answered,

at least if my sons have questions they will have the

chance to ask them and get the answers...The TRUE

ones lets say...

I was sitting here at 9 or so and suddenly it got so dark

out the street lights came on.. The wind picked up and

things were flying through the air..this rose of Sharon

bush was almost flat out..It was really scarey... The boys

both ran and hid...the lightning was those long streaks

that fill up the sky.. As fast as it came up it stopped just

as fast and believe me all 3 of us were glad.. I hate

storms and these tornados have been skirting all around

us thank GOD... Storms really scare me.. I don't like

them at all, but rain now.. I don't mind..freshens things up

so nice..makes it smell so good and clean out side... You

can tell my dad was a weather man...I loved reading his

books on weather..scared me then too :-)

I made some good chicken today..breast filets with onion

and tomatoes..then I made some white rice..its one of my

favs to eat.. Its really my own recipe.. I have lots of them,

but just do what I happen to think will taste good at the time.

So food, and then tv...maybe a few games of spider..This

Vista has it on it but not like on XP its better there..oh well

I can still play it that's the main thing.. and I still can ROLL

and that's what I'm doing.. first my GORGEOUS WEEBLE

"Nitey Nite" ..

Y'all have a good one now, Y'hear? love ya and thanks :-)

Always, Lois ****

ps..no photo yet but soon!!! promise :-)

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 .....
