~Kites~

Ive been thinking about my grandson, Tyler and his

kite being up in a tree.. :-) I know that had to make him

a tad upset. I always enjoyed kite flying.. I wasn't very

good at it but we had fun Kelli and I. I made the kites

for her so we didn't care if they got damaged or if

she tangled them in a tree.. The main thing was we had

fun and laughed. She was a happy girl and of course I

tried very hard to keep her that way :-)

I loved to fly them and ..she and I would go outside as

the only things that were in the way were the trees..if

you were careful and kept the kite away from them it

was big fun. Kelli and I had gone out one day was a good,

nice windy day.. I got it up off the ground for her and

then would give it to her.. I was running down the yard

to get the lift to the kite and didn't pay attention to

where I was running, just at the last second before I

hit it I saw I was running right smack into a tree.. I

almost knocked my self out much less knocking myself

right to the ground ! That kid laughed so hard at me.

After the stars disappeared and I knew how stupid I

had to have looked I laughed too.. I had a hell of a knot

on my forehead though.. and needless to say I was VERY

careful which direction I ran.. :-)

But if the neighbors saw us, as I ran down the length of

the yard, every step I took Kelli was right with me.. we

had to look like it was a major deal... Kelli would hit a hole

or a rough spot and down she would go and I would look

back to make sure she was ok... the kite would fall down

to the ground and we had to start all over again.. When

I think of all the running I did, and how I just always

thought that would be forever.. Goes to show you how

things change..


This new great grandbaby, Alex, Gran wont be able to run

that kite down the yard for him.. I bet if I had legs I

sure would :-) Grandpa says our boy has 2 new teeth.. He

took them to Wisconsin for a week end the last time he

went. Kelli's mother was from there so she has other

family there as well that all look forward to seeing her

and of course Alex. Hes growing so fast.. when I see him

and my Dolly .. I just am amazed at these years went by,

but I didn't know it.. One day she was 3.. now shes 23...

Still my Dolly, but now shes got a REAL dolly too!... :-)

This photo today.. I have SHORTS on... They were a gift

from a friend, and the top is a new one that Penny got

on sale and grabbed it for me as I have been wanting a

new white top.. I wore them the whole day yesterday. I

have a few others of this set if you want, you know the

drill.. write and ask... It was interesting to wear them

since the last ones I wore were the leopard..I still have

not made them into a skirt yet ... I plan to though.. Ive

just been so busy.. :-) Pants are still not one of my

favorite things, shorts either, but I can say I tried

them on.. and the try is the keyword.. :-)

Rebecca said she might come over and she and Penny

try to put my wardrobe together if Donnie cant get

away. She also offered to paint my living room as well.

That one whole part over by the door and the ceiling

Big Daddy Ken never did finish.. I thought it would be

really nice to have it all done.. This little house isnt

too bad, and hopefully in time I can get it fixed the

way I need it to be since my knight seems to have

really gotten lost, or fell off his horse, but I need to

make some arrangements and now is just as good a

time as any.. I got nuthin better to do and if Rebecca

will help too.. I think the 3 of us can get some thing

done.. we're gonna try! :-)

Now, I'm gonna try some late lunch. I havent eaten

today as I didn't know what I wanted, so I think I

might have some shrimp... I love those things.. or fish.

I wish they would build a Long John Silvers here.. I

went to that one in Elkhart all the time.. I almost

drool when I see their commercials on TV . Hope

y'all had a great week end.. I sure did.. some great

company and lovely surprises.. Time to wind this day

down and get this posted.. 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...
