~Phone Day~


Today needs to be labeled phone calling day. I bet I made
a dozen calls if I made one.. I even called my sister and when
she didn't answer I realized its Friday shes shoppin.. But I
called about 4 places about a chair, and I called COA three
times till I KNOW theyre sick of me... But I found a chair
online at Wal Mart.. I called the store cuz it said free shipping
to the store then you make your own arrangements to pick
it up.. Well I talked to a young woman there that transferred
me to the store manager, a woman named Amatha.. Very nice
lady.. I had already told who I was, where I lived, only 2 blocks
away and my problems for getting it here to my house...

She said, I would get a email telling me the chair was at the
store, when I got it I was to phone her back and she herself
would make arrangements to have the chair delivered to me.
Is that nice or what? Wal Mart is the best and I think that
is where we are going to start really shopping.. Every time
Penny goes to Meijers she always comes back with some kind
of story of being mistreated over there to their clerks just
out right lying to her.. So Wal Mart is now and really always
has been MY store.. I know they have a GREAT fabric
section.. In fact they sell , or did, great cottons for only a
dollar a yard.. 99% of my cottons for sewing came from there,
same with my sister... Shes a weekly visitor of Wal Mart..

AND,, when I phoned COA the 2nd time...I asked about the
fall tour.. Millie informed me the ride is Sunday and shes the
driver. She is going to call me back to see if there is enough
room for me to go.. She said they go all over town and out
in the country.. Our leaves are really getting there.. I think
NEXT week end they would be out even more judging by
mine I have here in the yard and those I can see across the
street... Those over there havent even started to turn yet.

SO ANYWAY, on my 3rd call to COA, since I forgot about
it the first and second calls.. I made an appointment for a
ride to Wal Mart on Wednesday morning at 9:30 for the
bus to be here.. Millie said perhaps she could do it or they
would ask Curtis.. So Penny and I will spend the morning
going thru Wal Mart.. I shall take photos to verify the
event like I always do to prove I REALLY DO go OUT! :-)

Was a busy day and my ear feels ready to fall off but I
did get a lot done and I hope closer to getting this chair
situation fixed... The first call to COA was for that, to
see if they would come and get this bed. Millie said yes
they would but would need 2 days notice.. So that is another
problem solved as well... I did good today... I feel I have
accomplished a lot.. I heard from 2 of my sons, Donnie
phoned last nite, and my son Mark sent an email.. I am most
pleased... :-)

Time to end this for today, I was here again at 4:30 am
this morning.. but I fell asleep only half way through that
survivor show, about 8:30 so I got a bit of sleep and I only
got up once, and only checked the time 2 times :-) Well I
may be asleep but I still need to know what time it is.. I
know, don't say it.. I have a time thingie.. I cant sleep with
the bedroom door closed either... nit pickey hey? They
delivered the free veggies, potatoes, cabbage, tomatoes
and zuchinni.. I am going to have some breaded friend
zuchinni.. That is SO good.. These are quite big so I will
do these as slices, usually I do wedges and deep fry.. I
will use my electric pan today. So.....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'm so honored to call you friend.
I pray the Lord will keep you safe,
Until I write again....

    Hi, Honey,
    So glad you are going to Walmart and getting out and about for a bit. Beats sitting there looking at The Boys! Or even talking on Skype!!
    Sounds like you're going to get that chair and get it delivered and set up. That's great, isn't it? And shifting that bed - then everything will be all ship shape and Bristol fashion, as we say in these yer parts!!
    Take care, Honey,
    Luv Ya,
    Raife

    Hi, Honey,
    The thing in the previous post with the thermometers in it is called a "Kent Screen", or at least, it is here. It ensures that only the air temperature is recorded by the thermometers.
    Luv Ya,
    Raife

    Hi Lois,
    Again I see I am a day late reading your mail here sorry about that HUn Bun.
    Well I was also happy to hear you had good service from Walmart & will use it more now.
    We do not have it here but we have a store called ASDA that is part of a Walmart store. Although we really do not have the same things in it that you have in the USA & Canada.

    When we were in Canada last year we did in fact shop in Walmart & it was great.
    We can,t wait to visit it again when we go to see Glen next year hopefully.

    I have been reading some of your other letter about your Dad too, which was so nice. Thank you for all your lovely readings Lois, I always enjoy them all. You are a little GEM
    Keep up the good work.

    Hope you enjoy the rest of the weekend.
