~Scanner's Ready~ :-)

Well as you see I got my scanner installed, I took some

photos using my digital camera and then Penny took some,

just to see if my scanner was working right..It did a good

job.. Its different from the other version I have, I had to

relearn how to do everything on it.. Was really aggravating.

I havent hooked my cam up I'm seriously debating to get a

new one.. It was acting up before and I hate to install it on

this new computer if its defective...I checked them out today

on Tiger and they have them from ten dollars to over a

hundred! Hard to know which to choose, there a 4 pages

of cams there..
My kitchen window that we always look out of I have those

2 suncatchers hanging.. The bottom is a real stained glass

one that my sister gave me since she knows I love cats..Its

amazing the heart around it is blue and matches the walls in

my kitchen perfectly..The top one is one I painted..Its just

plastic was one I did before I had my computer for something

to do. I think I did about 5 or 6 different ones.. I love sun

catchers but I have to be very careful where I hang them cuz

Dutch will get them.. not cuz they swing or anything..its cuz

he LOVES the suction cup thingies they hang from.!. He will

play with one of them for hours..carrys it around, has big fun.

These two he has knocked down.but hes also gotten smacked

for doing it..So NOW, the boy knows he does NOT touch moms

suncatchers.. If he gets mad at me that's the first place he

goes to get back at me..hes smart ! :-)
There is what I see when I look out my window.. Arent

they pretty..they are long stemmed roses too.. We are

worried about them as some of the branches are dead

and the leaves have spots on them.. I think some Sevin

dust might help..we have to do something..theyre so

pretty..Over by the garage on the right you see some

red..its a tiny small rose bush but it has at least 8

roses on it..On the left you see where the lillies are..

the close up is below..They are so pretty.. I sure enjoy

these wonderful flowers..
There is the window we look out and you see the bird

feeder sitting on the ground..the black squirrel did it.. I

had taken a picture of it but its on my other computer.

Down at the bottom of that fence is where the morning

glories are planted..Theyre doing pretty good.. I can

just see how pretty they will be when they cover that

fence... at least I hope so anyway...
And there is the flower box on the front porch...We

didn't know it had all those kinds in the flat Penny got.

There are 4 different ones in color but they are all

the double impatients... Another month and they will

be just beautiful...The lady across the street has window

boxes and they planted these in them..I don't know how

good they will do cuz they will get direct light and these

really do better in shade..

Wednesday Penny picked 3 roses for me and I put them in

a vase with water of course.. I have to hide them at night

and I put the vase in the cupboard that the boy cant get

into..Dutch has NO will power when it comes to real flowers..

He is bound and determined they are HIS! he will eat

them then puke..eat some more and throw up again..Its

awful.. so of course that means I either cant have any

living flower or plant in here or hide them at night when

the boy is on the prowl and I cant watch them..So I

put the roses in the cupboard; on my way to the potty

this morning as I have to roll right past the cupboard..

I took out the roses and put them on the bakers rack

right there.. I rolled into the bathroom..scooted forward

when all of a sudden I hear this CRASH!!!!.. I KNEW

what happened and I cant believe I was dumb enough to

leave those roses alone out there.. So.. I did my duty

and got back into my chair and rolled out to survey the

damage..CRAP...I had rose petals everywhere, water

ALL over that I, of course! HAD to roll through..what a

mess..The boy is running away and I could see the

rose petal in his mouth!! I grabbed him and took it out

hoping I wasn't going to have to clean all this up then

go around cleaning up after a pukey cat!! Life is so

fun here.. Well I got the rose petals and leaves up

and by then I just couldn't tackle mopping up all that

water that I managed to spread TOO! I looked at the

time and it was 8:45 and Penny would be here at 9.

I apologized to her for letting Dutch make such a mess..

She got the mop and got it up right away. Always some

thing here.. Thank God for Penny!! :-)

Well ive been up since 6 and I need to get out of this chair

for today..I still have that sore spot on my tail bone and I am

running out of patience putting up with it but I just don't know

what else to put on it..Its right where I sit..so unless I sit

lopsided It makes it hurt..cant win..Time for some TV, but

first 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 .....
