~Having Fun~

Ive had the best fun sitting in this doorway I wish a
few times I could have taped it.. I was sitting with
the boys and Dutch was getting very anxious, as he
wanted over that netting and out onto the porch.... I was
trying to watch him..and looking down.. The next thing
I knew this cat SPRUNG !! over the top of that and he
was out on the porch!.. I grabbed the netting and threw
it down at the same time I yelled, rather loudly, to that
cat "GET IN HERE!!!!" I looked up just as I said it and
there was a guy walking down the side walk looking back
at me with this horrified look on his face! I laughed and
told him "I'm yelling at my cat ! Not YOU!" . A look of
relief came over this guys face and he smiled, waved
and kept walking down the street! Talk about perfect
timing.. I couldn't have planned that any better..I had to
laff I bet he did too as he walked away :-) but I bet he
thought I must have been nuts! :-)
So anyway a few days later when Im sitting there in the
doorway again..I notice across the street at Penny's
Garage that its a busy day for them and lots of people
going in and out. I saw they had the door open too.. I
sat there and saw a kinda young guy get out of his car
and walk down the sidewalk to go towards the office.. I
said REAL LOUD...."HELLO!" He stops, looks around,
and I faintly heard him say "hello" as hes looking around
totally confused.. :-) I watch as he very slowly goes up to the
door and kinda very leary, peeks in, then goes inside... I
watched as he came back out a short while later and I said
again VERY LOUD.."BYE!" He stops again..smiles..looks
around and back towards the office and waves his hand
and I could see his mouth form the word bye as he walked
up to his car and got in it.. I watched as he backed out and
pulled up to the corner and hes still looking all over to see
where the voice came from :-) Maybe he thought it was God
and wondering what was happening to him :-)
With the glass in the door and I have that netting in front of me,
no one can really see me sitting there.. I did that a few times
yell hello to someone across the street and I did tell a young
man walking his dog that he had a cute dog..it was too, just
a tiny thing.The guy looked towards the porch but I doubt he
could see me the screen is black and I noticed that when I
looked from the outside in.. I sit in the doorway and think and
day dream but I just couldn't help not being smart when I scared
that first guy I thought it would be fun to do and it sure is.. I wish
I could tape it..Some of the looks on the guys faces is so funny.
I very seldom see any women walk or even ride a bike by here.
mostly its men or young kids riding bikes.. Isnt it sad what a
bored person will do? :-)
If you look at my flower box in the top picture you can see how
good my impatients are doing.. The roses in the back yard are
just glorious..they are covered in buds..Even Penny was amazed
at how pretty it is... The flowers are doing just wonderful , I wish
I could get out there and see them, but as hot as it is today I am
NOT going out even if I could.. I had the door open long enough
to take the photos and that was long enough.. You can see all
the big trucks across the street too..now you know why its so
noisey here..There were 4 semi's over there when I took that
photo...

Well I have some good left over spaghetti and you KNOW how
spaghetti is..its always better the next day..Dawn came over this
morning and they are going to Ft. Wayne to the races and taking
their trailer..Shes pulling the 32 foot trailer over to her parents and
meeting Donnie there after he gets off work. Poor Dawn ,Shes
so nervous she has only pulled that huge thing once or twice..
Shes not real worried as there are no corners she will have to turn
its all straight road..her parents are on the far side of Goshen..on
the way to the races.. Its good for them to get away like this..They
both go so much I worry about them.. I know they will have a
good time this week end..and I gave them some food so I know
they will have plenty to eat.. They are both worried about their
jobs..Its getting really bad here.. If it keeps getting worse I told
Donnie he will just have to let me rent his basement :-) he did
NOT give me an answer :-) but I didn't think he would other than
a MOAN..and a smile :-) Time for sketti and to write my
GORGEOUS WEEBLE nighty 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.....

    Hi, Honey,
    You need to be careful, yelling at strange men!!
    Seriously, though, how quick could you lock the door if one took it into his head to come and investigate?
    It would be good if Dawn could take one of the "Practical Caravaning" courses that our Caravan Club run, over here. I wonder if there is an equivalent "Trailer Club" in the States? The course I went on (with wife & daughter) was run by a caravaner who was also an instructor for Semi drivers and he was very good, full of practical advice which has since been very valuable.
    Take care, Honey,
    Luv Ya,
    Raife

    Hello Butterfly,
    Raife is right, you shouldn't shout at strange men. We should know right Raife. Minnie Me has just passed out for the night. He is such a lump to carry off to bed but I really enjoy the cuddle. Rainy nasty muggy day here in London town. I'll catch up with you later.
    Take Care Butterfly
