~My Boys~

There is one of my favorite photos..Of my Dad with my

boys..Mark on the left and Richard by his grandfather.

They had been playing basketball as my dad had a hoop

hanging on the back of the shed so you had the paved

alley as a nice place to play basketball.. I remember one

day my mom invited my her 2 sisters, my Aunt Lillian,

Aunt Phyllis, and her mother, my grandma, to our house,

they had tea and visited for a while, my aunt Lillian a go-

getter, always busy, a dedicated fisherwoman too! she

saw the basketball hoop and decided the 4 of them

needed to have a basketball game..It was so funny to

watch these 4 ladies chase the ball, none of them came

within 3 feet of the hoop! They laughed and had the

best time.. I'm glad I can remember, they all have been

gone for so long now...But seeing the basketball there

with the boys made me think of that..
These photos were taken shortly after I had left,

their father had taken them up for a visit with my

parents, I thought that was really nice, since I couldn't.

They had the best time from what my parents said.

Mark even remembers.. That fish up there that Richard

is holding I believe Mark caught it.. Of course out at

my Uncle Stanley's lake, Little Haggerman.. The lake was

owned by the 4 people or 3 perhaps, whos property was

next to it.. It was an excellent fishing lake specially for

Northern Pike, which that fish is.. Ice Lake is where I

caught my 32 inch Northern.. I wonder where it is now,

David didn't give it to me when he packed up my things,

he kept it, but he always said, with my permission, that

HE caught it..but I Did :-)
Well Penny came today and bless her heart she worked HARD.

theres the poultry netting its called which I call it chicken

wire.. I gave her my staple gun that I had to buy to put up

the plastic that never got done.. But it worked really good

for her to put that up... She then had to pick all the glories

already vining through the holes...Then she watered them.

She left to go to the store, and when she came back I

told her to look out there.. Everyone she had put thru the

holes had fallen back down..Before she left, bless her heart,

she went back out there and put them back up again.. Shes

a good kid.. I am so grateful to have her... She does so much

for me.. She checked out the basement and was glad to see

Diane had done a good job.. I'm pleased and It does smell

better..however Diane said the carpet on the stairs is

what needs to be taken up.. She said that in front of Ken,

he just looked at both of us and said "well we're done,"

and they left ! so I guess if it needs done it will be up to

me to find someone to do it or knowing my girl.. Penny

will offer to do it.. Gas is $4.29 a gallon here.. I feel bad

when I have her run all over town for me, but she does.

Well I had egg rolls for lunch and mojo's..and I am NOT

hungry, so later some Dibs will taste good, I have a spot

on my tail bone that is really sore so I'm getting out of this

chair so I can even my weight out is what I need and I

get that on my bed so..Guess where I'm headed? Yup,

to watch TV, well I may play some lazer tag with the

boys.. They've already gone thru 2 sets of batteries..

But they LOVE that thing..and It is SO good for them

to run..Dutch does all the time..but LB is so laid back I

only see him run when hes going after Dutch! Its that

time 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 pray the Lord will keep you safe,

until I write again .....
