~I Used To Draw~

Ive always liked to draw. Ever since I can remember. I have

to say I am..ok WAS pretty good.. When I was a bar tender

in that little hole in the wall bar in Houston, it was slow most

of the time, so I took a big tablet with me and I would sit

and draw the customers.. I sold everyone of them.. One I

did of a guy that was really good, he gave me 25.oo for it..
I was pleased..
I had gone on vacation and saw a paper place mat that this

restaurant used and I really liked it. The top photo is a

drawing of that place mat.. I think that one I did in 81.. the

other in 80... I'm glad I signed them. The bottom one of the

deserted farm was from a photo I saw and I really liked it.

Reminds me of my Uncle Stanleys farm out on Haggerman

Lake. I have both of these hanging in my bedroom.. I had

started to give them away as they don't really match my

decor but.. I drew them and I hated to, so I put them up.

I have seen some drawings my son Mark has done and he

is very talented as well.. My sister is a very good artist too.

So I guess it runs in the family. We had a wonderful chat

last nite .. its so very nice to talk to Mark.. Poor little Tyler

had gone out with his mum to fly his kite... well Tyler and

Mum came back in but his kite is up top of a huge tree. I

know he was upset.. I have a friend that makes them so I

hope I can sweet talk him into making one for Ty... I could

my self, in fact I have made kites for Kelli when she was

little. We had a huge back yard and when she was ready to

go and fly hers she would say.. "Gran, fly the kitey for me"

and well who can say no to their grand? We had big fun with

that, until it crashed one day, wasn't damaged at first.. but

Greta, my German shepherd saw it as a threat falling into

her yard.. she attacked it and needless to say that kite was

no more.. Kites are easy to make and I steady made them

for her.. I enjoyed it as much as she did.. :-) It was good

times together and I have to say Kelli and I had fun.

I bet I made a dozen calls today to try to find someone to

put this wardrobe together for me.. I called COA, I called

my caseworker at APS, and DHS... nothing.. I am waiting for

a call back from Millie over at COA she said she may know

someone that would do it for me, and what they would charge.

I guess that's the only way I will get it put together is to

pay someone to do it..

Rebecca came today and offered to help Penny, and they

both put it together.. Penny couldn't even move the box. Its

too heavy. Donnie cant till "maybe" one day next week when

he has nothing scheduled.. and If I cant find anyone before

then I will have to wait for Donnie.. I have decided to get

rid of that hospital bed and get a big recliner.. I think that

would be better for me. I'm going to try it, I need to do

something.. but I have to do it with a plan of attack..First

put the wardrobe together, then get rid of the bed, then

get a recliner. I saw one I really liked a big overstuffed

one..but when I saw the price..well.. just a little more than

what I had thought.. If I am very frugal... perhaps in a

few months I can get a new recliner...

Well I'm gonna get a snack and watch some TV.. I may have

company over the week end so I have a list of things to do

when Penny comes tomorrow, and no they cant put the ward

robe together, theyre company and I wouldn't ask... I can

wait.. Chair life teaches you one thing.. Patience if nothing

else... This PATIENT GORGEOUS WEEBLE says its that

time again "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....
