~New Living Room Chair~


I want you to look at my new living room chair! Isnt it just
great? Look closely at the bottom and of course, there is
the boy peeking out.. isnt that just cute? I was glad I got
that taken just in time... The covering of the chair is my
quilt..colors go great with my burgundy, do you see what
chair it is? Well I'm in my power chair now as of this
morning.. so I didn't know WHAT to do with my manual
chair... Well..there you see what I did with it.. The brake
IS set.. Penny sat in it and her feet didn't even reach
the floor!!! Shes so tiny... She wanted to know where I got
the chair, then when she looked closer under the quilt, she
saw the wheelchair :-) I'm so smart... I think it just looks
great myself... :-D
My boy came over last night, Donnie, and he brought the
dog, Jerky. He didn't know how to act seeing so much room
in here, he had a good time.. Of course the boys hid from
him..well until Donnie aggravated LB.. As you see in the photo
my MIRROR is UP!!! We are offically HOME... Well for him
to put the mirror up, Donnie had to move the couch.. well you
see the couch is up on the risers...so he had to reach under
and hold the cone at the same time.. I sure didn't want the
couch to fall and smash LB! Well when he reached under
there, of course LB was already mad, Jerky was here, so he
was growling big time letting us know he was furious. I told
Donnie to be careful but he reached under too close and LB
slapped the daylights otta his hand then bit his finger..
Donnie wasn't too happy.

When Donnie yelled at LB that put Jerky on alert and he
came charging in to see what was wrong with his dad.. Well
I thought Jerky was going to help Donnie, all he did was
see LB all mad and hear the growls and Jerky went whining
down the hall to hide in the KITCHEN!!! talk about a BABY!
90 pound dog, afraid of a 10 pound cat.. We laughed.. If it
had been Donnies other dog, DJ, well LB would have been
a dead cat... DJ was a yellow lab that just never came home
one day, about broke Donnie and Kelli's hearts they had
him for at least 15 years.. We think he just went off into
the woods he loved and died.. that's what we hope anyway,
he was one of the best dogs.. Donnie loved that dog...I did,
I was never afraid when we babysat the farm when DJ
was there... great animal....but all yellow and blacks are,
Chocolate labs which is what Jerky is, are more hyper
I think anyway...


Penny came today and we hung some photos and the walls
are looking good.. Its really looking nice in here and I love
it.. Being in this power chair sure makes a big difference
and I can do more.. I did find out though I am NOT good
at backing up.. but I never was with a car either.. I always
went crooked and I do the same with this chair.. I tried
to back up into the hallway to take the photo and almost
backed into the wall.. The boys arent too keen about this
chair either.. and I have to really watch to make sure I
don't smush them or much worse run over them.. I ran
over a phone book and turned the wheel a tad and well
that book is in shreds now.. I did NOT know that this
chair takes 2 batteries though... Its running really good
now and I can get so much more done...I'm pleased...

I'm gonna take a lunch break and take a 5, its been really
hectic this week already and tomorrow Theresa is coming
about 10.. I would like to have this all nice for her when
she comes the first time to see it.. Its such a great place,
she will be VERY happy for me.. I feel like I have stepped
UP in the world so to speak having such a nice place.. AND
to be able to just open that front door and go outside?
Well you KNOW what Penny and I will be doing !...

Its time to post, have a snack, take a five and back to work.
By this time next week this place will be in top running order,
I have NO doubts... This power chair has this GORGEOUS
WEEBLE on a fast steady roll... "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 honored to call you "friend".
I pray the Lord will keep you safe,
Until I write again....

    Hi, Honey,
    Some people are SO brilliant, it isn't true!!!!! ;o)
    Oh, my, What a clever girl. That chair looks just GREAT!!
    Has Donald had Jerkie "Chipped"? Might help, should he happen to wander. We shall get Holly chipped when she is old enough, though I'm not sure when that is.
    Take care, Honey. Who's a clever girl, then?!!
    Luv Ya,
    Raife.
