~22 Blooms Just for Me~

I got up early about 5 and of course its still dark. I had to wait for the
sun to come up so I could look out and see what kind of surprise my
glories would have for me today. They didn't disappoint me at all.. I

counted 22 blooms out there. Some are behind the leaves but they are
increasing every day.. I wish we had a little better set up for them..Well
we learned this year and now know what to do for next! :-) I wish those
flowers knew how much I appreciate the joy they give to me.. :-)
The birds hadnt been coming around but I noticed that

yesterday some have started and I see the little black

squirrel is back too. When there is a cat around outside

birds or squirrels wont tangle with them. Why people

let their cats outside I don't understand anyway.. I used

to let mine out, Until I called my big black Burmese,

Skeeter, to come home. As he ran across the street he

was hit and killed by a car. I said then no more of my

cats will go outside. I don't get mine declawed either.

How do they scratch with no claws.. Would you like your

fingernails taken out? If you teach a cat they will learn.

So many think they are not smart at all..Yes,, they are.
VERY smart..and almost a better watchdog than a dog.
I know when someone is near because mine run to the

door ! These 2 crazy guys are GLAD when someone

comes by.. I laugh and just tell everyone that comes

here theyre just super friendly , not the real truth

that they are just SO GLAD to see someone OTHER
than ME for a change :-) They will greet you at the door.

And DONT expect to not pet Dutch.. you will..trust me.

Or he will let you know.."HEY! PET ME!" hes very mouthy

too :-)
I took this photo yesterday and was going to use it for to

day and then today decided to take a different one after

I got dressed. Its a new top andThat's not pants..its a skirt.

That slit is the kick pleat that is sposta be in the back.

Well its not good in the back then I'm sitting on all that.
So I twist it around and have the pleat in front..I laughed

when I saw this cuz it looks just like I have pants on ..

and well, we ALL know that AINT gonna happen!! :-)
The Yellow skirt is an old one but the top is new, I took this

one after I spaced out the fact I had that other one for to

day. I asked a friend which one I should put here and well,

the reply was BOTH!... so I did :-)

I have a bruise on the back of my right hand that is really

sore. I drank too much yesterday and I had to get up last

nite and as I was going into the bathroom I misjudged that

door again and I was going a tad too fast as usual..well- on

the bare floor its so nice to be able to roll easy and I take

advantage of it by going faster, and I hit that door frame

really hard and I have a knot and a bruise. I do that a lot

though when I'm not careful.. Ive learned..or so I thought,

not to keep my hands on the wheels as I go through a door

way just for that reason..I was just going too fast and didn't

leave myself enough time to get my hand out of the way..

Just more joys of chair life... :-)

I havent made my Sunday dinner yet and I don't know what

I really want. I got up so early I'm not really up to making a

big dinner so maybe just a PB&J would be good.. I put a can

of pears in the fridge to get them ice cold I think I will

have some of those too. I don't eat a lot of fruit but every

so often I like to have usually pears or peaches but they

have to be COLD.. I do like all the berries tho.. My sis got

some blueberries she said and made what she calls "stuff".

Its her own recipe and its good.. when we used to ask her

what it was she always just said Blueberry stuff.. so that

name stuck..its like a cobbler.. Good is what it is.. She

forgot to bring some when she brought my tops.. she does

most times if she can keep Stanley out of it.. :-)

Well I'm done for today and I am off to go and chat with

a dear friend for awhile. Then dinner, TV and SLEEP! I

am not drinking too much so hopefully there will no run

ins with the door tonite :-) This GORGEOUS WEEBLE
says "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....

~I Wanna ReDo~

Ive been trying to figure a way to redo my bedroom

so I have a little more room to navigate. I have one

path thru the room with just enough room to turn my

chair so I can pull up alongside my bed. I had the bed

the other way before when I had that really old bed

I got from the shelter. It was not quite as big as a

twin bed, more like a day bed.. I had thought of just

trying to get a recliner, one of those big huge ones.
I saw one that the arm rests open to keep stuff in,

like the clicker or candy or stuff..But the price..well

its not with in my range.. I think a recliner would work.

My sister, for quite awhile slept in her recliner until

she got her hospital bed. She has a really bad shoulder

and if she lays a certain way, well shes not gonna sleep.

She had a nice one and I remember sitting in it and it

was so huge and comfy I just snuggled right down in

that chair and I didn't get up.. But that was because

there were about a dozen others that wanted to sit in

it too! This was at a Christmas eve party at my sisters.

When all the kids and grands and great grands are at

her house..well she got a bigger house didn't she? :-)

I can only sleep comfortably on my back or sitting up. I

cant lay on my left side as I have a abdominal bypass

that goes down my side. The 2nd one they had to do in

2000 after my heart bypass and the 2 leg bypasses.. I

don't know which year was worse, 2000 or 2001.. The

one year was surgeries that I got better. But the ones

the next year..the 3 I had were amputations..they'res

NO recovering from that. Well there is..but your not

the same outwardly.. Inside, yes..

Being a amputee hasnt changed who I am at all..In fact

I would say its..well 'enhanced?' certain features I

have..but nothings changed inwardly , well maybe my

determination and my needing to keep up this fight.

The main thing that's totally obvious is that I'm so

much shorter.. I went to get my state ID..I had to

go to the license branch.. The lady asks me.."How

tall are you?" I looked up at her and smiled as I

rolled back so she could see me and said.."then or now?

I WAS 5 foot 4 inches, so just minus a couple of feet

and Id guess I'm 3 foot 4 now", we both laughed..when

she asked she immediately looked so embarrassed and

I felt for her.. when I said that to her it helped. I

could see she felt kinda bad for asking. But it was ok..


Well this shorty as my boy, Donnie sometimes calls me.. I

have so many nick names.. Shots, BOO, Shorty, Well..I don't

care what they call me as long as its not late for supper :-)

I think I hear my kitchen calling me, good thing too cuz I'm

hungry... I call me a 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,

~We Need Rain~

I had Penny go out and take some photos again for me

this morning.. She brought the camera back in and I went

to download them. When I opened the door to the card

part, well..there was no card in it!..So she had to go back

out and take some more, which she really doesn't mind

doing.. That photo shows how dry my grass is that I had

NOT noticed from inside here. We sure could use some

rain I think..Now that I think about it its been quite a while

since it has.. My snowball bush is in its last stages and we

spaced out getting a photo then.. We just stay so busy here.

Not really but that sounds good :-)
Penny was going to take a photo of the other side but there

were no glories on that side.. Next year we will put the wire

down to the bottom and all the way up to the top of the fence,

and I bet that whole thing will be covered for sure.. I didn't

have to replant every spring when I had them before..so I hope

I wont these... They are so nice to see out there...What ever

that green plant is its about to bloom too..By next week I am

sure it will be out in full... I will have to watch it.

I havent done anything special today and I feel like I have not

accomplished anything.. I feel sometimes just what purpose is

all of this. But then I think again and am so grateful for all I

do have.. Not everything Id like but..well this isnt too bad. I

appreciate what I do have, but I think if I was satisfied then

maybe I wouldn't try as hard to do or change things.. Then I think

I would just sit back and roll with the flow, so to speak.. Maybe

I just like to make waves once in a while to keep it more interesting

and a ride I don't mind taking..rough or not.. Its an experience..
To be like this, sure I wasn't prepared, sure wasn't what I wanted

at all..but well like I tell everyone.. All they were was legs, and the

very best part is still intact which is ME.. a GORGEOUS WEEBLE...

That's the main thing.. I am still surviving.. Maybe not the way I

really want to but well its better than the alternative isnt it?

I watched my netflix last nite and as much as I like the show on TV

of Stargate, this movie wasn't that great.. was hard to keep up with

where they were and the whole plot.. Its out waiting to be picked up

and by Monday maybe I should have the next one on my list.. I like

watching these, I just wish I could watch them in my bedroom and

then I could get out of this chair and get really comfy to enjoy the

movie.. But until I can I'm not complaining.. I get to watch them

and that's the main thing..so many cant see at all.. I'm most grateful.

I'm blind in my left eye so I half way understand.. of all the disabling

things I think blindness is the hardest.. How do you describe a color?

or the sky...you can textures, cuz you can feel them... but things that

can only be seen to be appreciated..I think blindness would be the

hardest ..

Well the hard thing for me to do right now is roll out to that kitchen

and get a Carmel ice cream Sundae that Penny got for me today when

she got my icee.. I LOVE Carmel sundaes... MMM good stuff .. I think

I will play some solitare and I have to try to clean out my inbox.. I

joined a group that just sends too much.. makes email a job then and

email is should be a good thing.. Time for my treat but not before my

GORGEOUS WEEBLE "nitey nite"... :-)


Y'all have a good one now, Y'hear? love ya and THANKS!!

~Horses~

Photo from the www

I got my movie yesterday and I didn't even watch it

last nite and now I'm a day late..I might just wait and

watch it tomorrow, since usually the only thing on that

I watch is the bull riding contests.. Boy some of the

kicks and stomps those boys get is awful. I feel sorry

for those bulls, but I guess theyre bred for that.
Like race horses. A friend is going to buy a new draft

horse and already has 2 of those pissy horses I call

them I can never remember the name let alone spell

it, so pissy horse works for me..Its really a Percheron

or something like that.. My spell checker quit working.

:-) Huge beautiful animals. I think those budweiser

horses are those kind or maybe theyre Clydesdales

which is a big horse like the pissy kind.


They all like to work..or pull as I'm told..They enjoy doing

things like pulling a plow or a wagon. Down in Indiana by

Goshen, or Middlebury, and specially Shipshewanna.. A lot

of Amish.. To go by their farms is amazing..No electric or

cars.. They have their own schools. The stores in Shipshe,

as we call it have lots of Amish things.. The hurricane lamps

are wonderful..and the home made quilts are amazing..
There are a few restaurants there and bakeries and if you

can make it through that town with out stopping, well you

do better than I do..

My sis and I went there all the time, year round. The summers

in Shipshe they have a 10 acre flea market that is awesome.

You cant even really go to every booth there. They have a big

center where the flea market is, and auctions and of course

a great pork palace..with some great food.. For my sister and

I our main reason for going was the fabric shops.. There is

one store we had gone to just right after it opened and we

walked thru that door and both of us just stood there with

out mouths open totally in awe of all the material..we didn't

know what to look at first.. we both headed off in different

directions.. I'm a silk and cotton person, shes quilted and

cotton... :-) The Amish ladies are famous for their sewing

and their quilts. I know they have a tour thing selling the

crafts made called Shipshe on the Road or something..

Of course we couldn't leave town with out going to that great

little restaurant that every thing they make right down to the

butter and jam and breads AND its their own beef. The food

is terriffic and next to Come and Dine its the best.. Come and

Dine is a Amish place and there are quite a few around.. Its a

big huge open room with tables and when you go you order

either beef, pork or chicken, They bring the meat you ordered

and in separate bowls are the potatoes, veggies, 2 kinds. They

give everyone a plate and you serve yourself as if you were at

home.. Great food.. To go with Stanley? well its his kind of place.

He says he got tired of going to Country Buffet as he wore

himself out going back and forth to the food.. This at Come and

Dine they keep the bowls full and hot. Stanley loves good food,

I swear ive seen sparks fly from his fork and knife at times ..

:-D... Stan likes good food...

Everywhere are horses and buggys, my friend with the pissy horse

says theirs will pull wagons and I had said I bet I could drive a

wagon.. well horses that is.. I bet its not too hard.. and I think it

would be great fun.. Being pulled around in a beautiful carriage by

a huge gorgeous black horse? Be great... I bet I would try it :-)

We had talked about whether I could ride.. I think so.. If I had a

special saddle to put my stumps into for leverage so I wouldn't

fall off... Ive never ridden a horse, but I think theyre one of the

most beautiful animals there are.. Riding on them I don't know..

Id try but I think the carriage would be better a safer ride.

Well, my ride for today is out to eat my lunch. Its mashed tatoes

and pork roast and gravy..sadly with carrots.. If it wasn't such

good pork and gravy I probly wouldn't open it cuz of the carrots.

They must be cheap lately every other day we get carrots .. I

do NOT like carrots :-) I'm hungry so its food, solitare and then

to watch TV. then sleep.. I am tired.. Time for my GORGEOUS
WEEBLE "nitey nite"... :-)

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

~Music is Good For You~

Every day I surf and look for music sites, as I really

enjoy music.. It helps keep me happy. Today I found a

great site with accordion music, which I enjoy, as it

makes me vaguely remember my Aunt Phyllis used to

play one... It suited her as she was always happy and

joking around. All my family enjoyed music. I still hear

my mothers radios playing in every room. When you went

to the bathroom as soon as you turned on the light the

radio came on set to her favorite station which of course

was WIKB...

When I was listening to some polka music It made me

remember the times they had this great little German band

come in and play for us at the home, 5 people.. It was just

great to hear them.. Everyone enjoyed it. One dear friend,

a lady named June loved it.. She was in the later stages

of cancer and lost a little ground every day. She used

to always sit by me so we could talk.. Lovely lady..


The next night the German band was there of course she

sat next to me in her chair and we sang to some of them

and she was so happy.. Suddenly she got up and went over

to another lady there that I really didn't know, other than

her name was Kathryn and she was VERY ill..... June stood

next to her then started to sing to her in German to one of

the songs.. She stood sort of next to her with her arm around

the shoulders of the woman and with her left hand she

reached and would gently stroke this ladys face. In between

them she would hug her close and kiss her cheek... She stood

there for quite a while loving on this lady and no one told her

to stop. Soon a nurse came and told June, "June, dear, your

sister has to go back to her room now, we will bring you to see

her tomorrow, kiss her good night".

With that said, June gently kissed her sister and hugged her

close. The nurses pushed Kathryn back to her room.. That night

Kathryn passed away. I think of that when I hear a German polka

and how happy June and Kathryn were that last nite together as

sisters, how happy they were. Every time June would hug her sis

or kiss her face her sister would smile broadly and you could see

how happy she was even though she couldn't say a word.


To me it shows that never to wait to show someone or something

you care about them.. It may be your last chance.. I don't take any

chances like that... I take nothing for granted.. life can change in

the blink of an eye and at least half of the times it may not be for

the better. You love someone, care about them? TELL THEM!....

Penny came today and so did Rebecca and Kathy and her husband!

I have had a full day! Kathy is Pennys sister, they came to get

some of that Styrofoam out of my garage that is Donnies.. I am

selling it for him. Kathy and Neil are insulating their house more,

it works great for that.. Dawn is due to come over later to pick up

some homemade bean soup I made yesterday. I ate 3 as in THREE

bowls of it and I am giving the rest to the kids. Its really good,

but Ive had my fill... I got my next net flix today..a Stargate one.

I like that show on TV.. its something like star trek and that was

one of my favorites.. I liked captain Kirk but Piccard now, hes ok

too ! :-)

They brought blueberry pie for desert today- I'm gonna have that

and watch my net flix and just have a good time. Time to post this

and time to watch the show but first my GORGEOUS WEEBLE
"nitey nite"....

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

~Salad Is Good~

My New Suncatcher

Well today is another one of those I don't know what

to write about.. Surprising hey? I get that way every

once in a while... Just not too much happened today and

I had no company other than the new guy delivering my

salad lunch... Its pretty good.. I just have to dig out the

carrots and green peppers.. I like green pepper IN stuff

but not to just eat in a salad. It was pretty good one had

lots in it, like a chef salad and I enjoy them.. A nice big

salad to me is a great dinner...well depends on how the

lettuce is torn.. Never cut it with a knife you know .. Why?

I dunno.. that's what my mother told me so that's what I

do... I just like small pieces of lettuce and not big hunks

of it.. and I like the INSIDE of a head of lettuce.. I like

vinegar and oil dressing .. sometimes Italian. Salads are

good for you. Its the dressing that does a person in..

David liked that chunky blue cheese dressing and ...well it

is NOT my favorite. I'm not a cheese person that much and

I guess its cuz I'm lactose intolerant..When we lived in Green

Bay, being the cheese capitol, David was in his glory, he loved

cheese.. We had taken a ride up to Door county and there was

a huge cheese store on the way.. We went past it on the way

up but I KNEW on the way back that the car would be stopping

at that place on the way back.. And it did. :-)

When we walked into that store I have never seen so much

cheese in one place in all my life.. They had just about every

kind known to man. David grabbed a cart and started to load

cheese in it as he walked up and down the aisles.. Every so

often he would get a sample that they had all over in there

When I looked at the cart it had at least 6 different kinds

that David, of course, just HAD to try, I had to keep telling

him "we CAN come back again!" he would have gotten some

of every kind in there I think ! :-)

When we got in the car I told him I would drive so he could sit

and enjoy his cheeses.. As we went down the road David sampled

every single one of them and offered a bite of each one to me.

I like cheese, it doesn't like me.. David says to me "Boo, try this",

its sposed to be OLD cheese, that's fermented or aged or what

ever it is they do to cheese..

I sort of leaned towards him as he put a piece of that "aged"

cheese into my mouth.. I mean- ICK!! I thought I was gonna just

pass out the taste was so awful.. I could even smell it and it

honestly made my eyes water.!. I had to pull the car over to

the side of the road and needless to say I DID get rid of

that cheese in my mouth and that I stupidly swallowed.. It

was the most horrible stuff I have EVER had in my mouth.

David, sat there and laughed at me at first till he saw how

sick it made me. He had to drive home the rest of the way

and every so often he would have to stop so I could get

rid of MORE of that cheese ! :-) I was so sick by the time

I got back that I didn't want to even SEE a piece of cheese

for a LONG time.. David ATE that stuff even and had NO

trouble with it.. Me? well Swiss or Pepper Jack is about as

AGED as I want in cheese :-)

Well its that time again and I am tired for not doing one

thing other than just sit.. but its tiring too really.. I'm so glad

I had this chair made bigger so that I can shift around in

it and not just have to sit one way.. I need room to MOVE..

Specially when music is playing :-) Time to post, time to eat,

and then its off to watch TV.. Tuesday? not much on tonite.

Guess its Animal Planet or Food :-) This GORGEOUS
WEEBLE bids you "Nitey Nite"... :-)

Y'all have a good one now, Y'hear? love ya, and thanks !

~A Van~

Penny said my glories have gone thru the fence and are

on the other side as well and have flowers too.. She said

its really pretty.. Every day there are more and more..The

vines are all over and I told Penny today that we need some

more chicken wire to put on this whole side of that fence,

right down to the ground.. Next year that thing will be

covered and be just beautiful...
A friend of mine told me that they are going to sell

or trade in their van. Its a ford Aerostar, 97. I sure

would like to have it.. Ive been giving it a lot of thought

as to how it would benefit me to have one.. Specially

when it comes to Dr appointments and such. I wouldn't

have to worry about making sure I remembered to

schedule a ride or that I couldn't get one as the vans were

already booked by someone going to the beauty shop..


I called Disability Resources here to find out if they would

help me and they will help me get a ramp installed. How

ever the cost of it would be up to me.. I have a call in to my

caseworker at APS...and am waiting for a call back from them.

For as much as I would use it and being I have a safe record

and just basic insurance would not be that much I called and

inquired about that so I would have some estimate on what

it would cost me a year for insurance on it.. I'm waiting for

Terry to call me back as to what the insurance would be. If

push come to shove I could have it put in Donnies name and

pay for the insurance that way.. But I sure would like to have

my own vehicle... That's what I'm saving for.. Then when I can

I plan to check out getting certified for hand controls. I

want to be able to go..

Well its like I told Terry, I have this van, if someone came to

visit and we wanted to go out to eat, we could take my van, I

wouldn't have to transfer and it would be great.. I will get my

License back so that if I want to drive it I can.. I have a

perfectly clear driving record.. Ive only gotten 1 ticket in my

life and that was when I totalled my 63 black chevy impala..

Those were dark days... the days when I drank..'72.. yes, I did.

I don't now, and havent for I bet 25 years.. I have a tiny

little travel size vodka up here on my desk, a friend gave it

to me and its so cute sitting there, I am not inclined to even

open it..

Back when I lived in Houston, I did drink, I was living with Sid

then, and he drank like a fish. We went out on the weekends

and went to the bars.. It got old and I never was very at ease

in one, too many crazies...We had drank a lot one night and had

met there after work, I had gotten there before Sid so I was

a few drinks ahead. We got into an argument and drank even

more.. Sid was a slap happy guy if you know what I mean, and
I got furious and stormed out of the bar. I got into my car

and headed back out the 225 freeway.. I missed my exit and

kept going.. Next thing I knew I lost control and I was doing

spin arounds up against the guard rail..there wasn't a smooth

spot on that car..

When the car finally came to a stop, I had hit my head right

between the eyes on the steering wheel and I mean I saw

stars... I don't remember a lot I think I must have passed

out a few times.. They took me to hospital and said other

than the knot on my forehead and bruises from being thrown

around in that car I was fine..

The next day I got up and I didn't know a body could hurt in

so many different places at one time.. I think it even hurt

between my toes it was so bad.. I had to go to the towing

place to get the things out of my car, I stood there with the

guy, looking totally awful, 2 black eyes and a knot between

my eyebrows that looked like Id been hit with a sledge

hammer.. The man asked me "how many people were killed?"

After he said that, I looked at my beautiful car.. that I

loved dearly all totally smashed and realized what it cost

me to have that drink, or what it could have cost me, my

life or even the life of someone else, that scared me,

and right then and there I quit then and havent touched a

drop since.. Well no .. .not true, I have had a few wine

coolers .. but a drink or beer? well I never did like beer..
The only 2 things I liked were vodka, and had to be in

orange juice or tomato,, and tequila.. I LOVE margaritas..

but I know what it can do and I aint drinking it ... I really

don't miss it.. My lime icee is better than ANY kind of

other drink as far as I'm concerned..

Well I'm done for today and I'm hungry. .Penny came and

finished cleaning up the kitchen floor... I told her it was

really my own fault for leaving the bag of rice out.. I knew,

but spaced it out.. We will learn.. She had taken a bag of

cat food out to fill the container and put it down to come

in here and do something, next thing we hear paper ripping,

she went out and looked and Dutch was opening that bag.

She caught him just in time before he really punctured it

and cat food would have gone everywhere.. She laughed.

Bags and boxes the boy goes nutz.. we will learn.. :-) if we

don't, well, then we clean!! :-)

Time to post and time to eat my late lunch.. I did remember

to mail back the netflix I hope the next one is as good as

this last one.. I don't remember what it is.. I should have

one back by Thursday if not Wednesday... This is such a

neat thing.. I wish I had thought of it sooner.. Well 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'm so honored to call you friend,
I pray the Lord will keep you safe,

~Kid Got Caught~ :-)

Looky my boy, he got caught :-) he loves to play in the

sink. I missed LB cuz he was in there too! see the time?

I had just gone out there. They trashed my kitchen last

nite too I want you to know.. I rolled in there and had to

just sit and do one of my very familiar..'ok, how we gonna

clean this up with out making it worse'. Remember I said

I got my angel food yesterday? Well..this big dummy forgot

that there was a bag of rice.. You KNOW the boy has a

"thing" about bags, boxes and that kinda stuff.. ok..you're

already ahead of me aint ya? :-)

Yup, It looked like it snowed rice all over the floor, the table

and HOW it got into the sink I don't know unless perhaps it

could be from that little glass jar I keep on the table for them

with water in it? Know where THIS is going? :-) Ya, the boy

was playin I guess, had to have been, I hope, or was just bein

mean seein how big a mess he could make for his mother to

clean up!.. The water spilled onto the table..and onto the floor.

SO.. needless to say I had glued rice stuck to my table AND

to the floor.. water splashes when it hits the floor you know,

and rice..well it goes everywhere.. :-) I have such fun here :-)

When I sat there by the fridge I was glad I hadnt gone forward

to turn the light on, it was already light or I would have rolled over

all that mess. It took me for ever to clean that up.. The broom was

hanging in the basement stairwell so I couldn't get that, I used a

piece of cardboard off a box that was in the living room and sort

of scooted all that mess on that. The floor is still sticky but I did

get most of it up.. Penny will have to get the rest tomorrow.. But I

sure had a great start to my day.. I really did laugh though, I could

see those 2 cats just having a blast playin in all that knowing I was

asleep and they could get away with it.. Kids :-)
Well.. theres 1 of todays photos.. That is a new skirt. My sis brought

it when she came.. Was on sale for only 3 dollars and as pretty as it

is I'm surprised it was marked so low.. Its 2 layers, the under is

longer with a matching hem to the top part. Its very see thru with

out the black lining, its silk and I LOVE it :-)
I wanted to see which top I liked better and I don't have a mirror

big enough to see more than just my face.. So I decided to take a

photo in each top :-) Plus it makes me have to put 2 here of this

GORGEOUS WEEBLE.. :-) Be glad! There are 6 total! :-) If you
want all of them, write to me and ask.. :-) Which top is better? I
have such hard decisions to make :-D...aint it awful? I Love it :-)
Note the lid is off the birdseed, something, probly that gray cat, has

laid in the center of my flowers and note on the rose bush the leaves

are coming back for the 2nd bloom.!. I cant wait to see them ! :-)
My glories this morning all standing so proud and beautiful

out there like they are just waiting for me to see them. I

sure am enjoying them I hope they know it :-)

I watched THE BEST movie .. the net flix one, called NEXT with

Nick Cage.. Its one of those at the end you gasp and say "WOW!"

It was a little over on the violence, but I really really enjoyed it.

He could see into the future but only 2 minutes ahead. It was a

good movie the more it went on..then the end comes and your

even more surprised! It was good... I watched it Friday night

and went brain dead yesterday I guess and forgot to send it

back so now I wait till tomorrow.. I don't know what my next is.

Well I don't know what my next movie is but I know what I'm

gonna do next is go out and make myself some dinner. I havent

eaten today at all and I'm hungry.. I have a chicken I may stuff

with some corn bread dressing, stove top is the best and this

sounds so good with some mashed potatoes.. am I making you

hungry? Well come on ! :-) Time to post, time to eat then time

to sleep, 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,

~It's Everywhere~

I was talking to a friend in the UK yesterday that told me about a young man there, an amputee. He grows his own pot to help him with his problems. From what I gather they did arrest him as its illegal.. I bet I know a dozen amputees that do smoke and would agree that it does help immensely.. I think so.. Ive tried it.. and It helped me with the phantoms AND with the depression.. well who can be depressed on that stuff anyway? If it don't make you laff then you better check to see your still breathin.. I say every once in a while it would be great if they did legalize it..but then again.. no I don't. If they do the cost would be outrageous just like our medications we have to buy.. Ever wonder why you can get meds so cheap in Canada and Mexico? Why do we have to pay so much? I used to take 16 pills a day a few years ago.. and I got so mad, how can THAT many pills help? I had ALL those things wrong? Well I said before I put all my pills in the trash for a year... I felt I was able to THINK again.. and I will be honest.. I smoked pot AND.. IT WORKED~!~... I felt once I got off all those meds that I was human again.. that I REALLY COULD THINK~!!~ I couldn't afford to buy the stuff but I had some dear friends that would help me by giving me the crumbs from theirs.. Not often that wouldn't be fair.. But It DID work for my phantoms. The depression seemed to get under control and I wasn't so UP one day and then DOWN the next.. that will drive you nuts! A friend told me about someone they knew that was told they had the big C... Cancer.. I told them to go buy a juicer, go get some organic carrots and take them to their friend and tell them NOW..you WILL get better.. I had gone online to look for something and accidentally came across this site that told what fruits and veggies did what for your body.. I was amazed, I knew about carrots..but there are ALOT more! There is a fruit or veggie for almost every thing you can think of.. and cancer is one of quite a few... I myself think that that's where the cure is too.. We have to go back to the basics of life.. like the song says... I got my angel food today, so I shall eat good this week.. It had some chicken breast fillets that I fix with tomatoes and onion, then simmer for a while.. its so good over rice. I think I might go thru my moms recipes and do up a recipe book of stuff that I KNOW is easy for someone like me to fix.. Not a lot of mess and stuff to do to be able to cook it.. I have a lot of those kind.. My mom cut down most of her recipes when it was just her and my dad...which is plenty for me.. I havent had company for dinner for a long time.. I miss that tho. Ive been working on my book too.. I'm getting there. I go in spurts and get in a writing mood...then other days I don't wanna write anything, but I think a recipe book might be fun to do... What I'm gonna do right now is end this, post it and get a snack and play some solitare.. I might go thru my recipes too.. So until I come back here tomorrow this GORGEOUS WEEBLE says "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 .....

~2 of My Favorites~

Two of my most favorite Aunt & Uncle's were my moms

brother and his wife, My Uncle Ernie and Aunt Gladys.
Wonderful people. Kind, caring, loving. They had 3 sons,

Dennis, Robert, and Richard. My Aunt was a beautician,

and me having such curly hair I only would let my Aunt

Gladys cut it.. She knew how to do it just right where I

always looked nice.. I was fussier back then than I am

NOW ! :-) My Uncle Ernie was a miner and worked at

one of the 3 or 4 in the area. Worked there all his life,

till he retired and they moved to Lower Michigan to be

by their oldest son...

Uncle Ernie, well, I think I was his favorite. He called me

Louise, which I really didn't like that but that's why he did

it ! To tease me.. Having 3 very energetic sons I think he liked

having a little girl around, specially one that was just as energetic

as his boys! :-) We had all gone skiing one Sunday afternoon and I

wasn't really good on skis.. I put my skis on and got all ready and

went to the top of the bunny hill.. I looked down it, but I still was

just NOT ready to go down , I knew Id probly fall and I hated

to make a spectacle of my self.. I heard a voice down at the

bottom yell to me saying "LOUISE!!! Come ON!." I saw it was my

Uncle and I just smiled and waved, looking like I really WAS

gonna try going down that hill...but I knew as soon as no one was

looking Id sneak off back to the lodge! :-)

I stood their for a few minutes more and all of a sudden I feel

2 arms around my waist and see 2 skis pull up along side mine and

the next thing you know I'm flying down that hill in front of my
Uncle.. I laughed and so did he and I bet we went up and down

that hill like that about 5 times.. We went back up to the top again

and I leaned forward to go down with my Uncle, next thing I knew

I felt his arms let go, saw his skis disappear and as I made a quick

glance backwards saw him standing there waving and laughing saying

"You can do it Louise!!!!".. and I did.. If it werent for him giving me

that little extra nudge, maybe Id still be on top that hill afraid to

try to go down it.

The reason I'm writing about my Aunt & Uncle is probly a strange

one, but I had a dream last nite. Very seldom do I remember my

dreams.. But this one, I was standing in my kitchen, I saw the door

open and my Uncle Ernie came through it all smiles and quickly

rushed up to me, and I wasn't in my chair.. I was standing.. He came

up to me, folded me in his arms, holding me tight and gave me the

biggest, warmest hug I can still feel it.. He pulled back just a bit

and said to me "Hi Louise, you can do it"... He squeezed me again,

kissed my cheek and I woke up. I can still feel the warmth of his

hug, and it makes me remember all those great hugs we all gave

each other. I don't know what this dream means. Last I had

heard my Aunt had passed on but my Uncle was still alive and

well..he was born in 1920. Hes 88. Id love to see him.. Whats sad,

is that he lives about 2 or so hours from me.. And Ive not seen

them in years...

Well I get my next net flix today so you know what I'm doing

after I post this.. Movie time ! I hate commercials when I'm

watching a show. I have got to be the worlds worst at changing

channels to avoid the commercials.. Then I forget what channel

I was watching and never make it back there :-) Dvd's are a

treat... My other treat is in the kitchen.. Yup DIBS today.. Ive

not had any all week.. and I get my angel food tomorrow so I

need to make some room in my freezer .. Well that's my story

and I'm sticking to it :-) Now my GORGEOUS WEEBLE
"Nitey Nite"... :-)


Y'all have a good one now, Y'hear? love ya, and THANKS!!!
