~Rose of Sharon~

The views out my windows lately are just so great.. I

really enjoy seeing all those beautiful living things out

there.. the birds, squirrels, rabbits, even the people

that live in that house across over there. I have seen

them all this time and I still don't know their names. I

wish I did and their phone number..neighbors should

be in touch.. watch each others homes and keep an eye

out for dangers or even good stuff.. They had 2 dogs

over there a yellow and black lab.. I havent seen the

older black lab for quite a while.. I am guessing that

hes died.. I could tell he was old by the slow way that

he walked and he wasn't very active.. I know they are

over there, the people, they have a son, that THINKS

hes a mechanic.. and well.. I dunno but I lived with a

garage in my back yard my whole growing years and

I have been around Donnie as he is a mechanic..Well..the

way this kid is working on these cars I'm gonna say hes

very lucky that car hasnt blown a gasket or something

by now.. he steady rev's the engine as hard as he can,

and for a long time.. Not good for an old engine.. Its a

older car I cant think of the name of it... He does this

for at least an hour, once he had someone stand at the

intersection and he backs up starts to rev it up and

when the kid at the corner says "GO!!!" he flys across

the street as its just a straight road and wide open

over there .. Cops saw him do that once and he got a

ticket, car search, the whole 9 yards... I havent seen

him do that again but hes still over there revvin.. It

gets old when he does it every day... which he has

a couple days in a row..and no matter what room I go

into I can still hear it... ANYWAY...
We had a discussion about this plant, tree, shrub or what

ever it is.. I say its a Rose of Sharon.. Some have said its

a Hibiscus.. they look the same..but I think the hibiscus has

bigger petals... I don't care what it is I just like seeing it

out there.. I have a snoball bush here by my livingroom window

and its FULL of buds.. budettes too :-) I have said this a

100 times and I hope whomever it was put all these flowers,

plants, trees here for me to enjoy, I pray they KNOW how

grateful I am they did... I think this refers to the concept

of passing it forward.. and I think THAT is a great thing..

Sometimes someone does a wonderful thing for you and you

just cant repay them for some reason or other.. The best re

payment, which the benefactor doesn't really want, but the

best is to pass it forward to someone else.. See someone that

needs a little help or even a kick in the butt sometimes.. but

pass that nice deed on.. you will get repaid... plus I think just

knowing your good deed will be passed on..and on...and on...

that would really be a good thing...
I took this photo for today, and when I went to fix and crop,

put the frame around etc, I looked close..do you see the boy?

I laughed so hard when I saw this.. that's so cute..hes down

by my right side..peeking out from behind me.. I didn't know

he was there.. I think this is just a cute photo I wish LB had

been in it.. hes not but look UNDER my chair and you can see

Meowmeow... hes probly off sleeping somewhere .. the old man

is getting old :-D..
Hes looking at me, he saw the light from the mouse, I

have to click it to take a photo well its a lazer mouse

with a red light and his play lazer is red too..so he was

looking at me wanting to make sure I wasn't messin with

his toy.. He and LB will chase that light around for as

long as I will and I poop out before they do... I swear he

understands everything I say... I took a photo of him the

other day and he was looking at Penny, I told him to "Look

at mummy" he turned and looked right up at me.. you see..

I have some really cute kids..human ones TOO!!! :-)
I am so bad about photos .. I am steady taking them..I

keep my digital in the kitchen in case I see something out

there that I absolutely HAVE to take a picture of.. I get

nervous when I carry it as that's what happened to my

other one and I LOVED that one.. It had the peek hole to

see what you were taking a photo of.. I have like a square

screen and I don't like it at all.. If I get a new one I will

make sure it has a peeky hole, this holding the bottom

little door shut or even tapeing it is a pain in the butt.. I only

take like 6 or so pics at a time and I unload them right

away and sometimes I take photos every day...well I'm a

photo and music nut ..:-) But that little door has to be

fixed or replace one or the other :-)
Look how pretty he sits.. Now, look over on my couch..I

dug my keyboard out, took me forever to do it..Penny

had pushed it way under the couch and I had to fold

right in HALF and then some to get it out.. I can play it.

One hand.. I promised a friend I would tape me playing

it.. I was going to use sound recorder but I think I will

do a video.. I would love to learn how to play 2 hands..

cuz I really enjoy it.. I had a beautiful old upright piano

when I lived in Texas but it was just too big and heavy

to haul all the way from there to Indiana..so I sold it

to a lady that promised to take very good care of it.. I'm

sure she did... Pianos are wonderful.. But I like any and

ALL music...It lifts me up..and makes me happy..

Well I'm starved, its after 2 and I have NOT had anything

today but 3 cups of coffee and my stomach is yelling at

me to EAT!.. I have some shrimp and I will have some of

those... just lightly nuked for a minute just to take the deep

freeze off.. I have some excellent Crosse & Blackwell sauce

and I have to say its the best...Even for fries..which I didn't

realize till I made some fries one day. I didn't want to go

back to the fridge to get ketchup so I dunked them in the

shrimp sauce..worked great! Ok food, then OUT of this

chair for today.. Hope you like my views and my boy well

this GORGEOUS WEEBLE too.."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 .....
