~We Got Snowed~ :-)

Well we got the snow and its not done yet. I had to call

Joe and ask if his snow plow guy was gonna plow today.

I looked out at the driveway and with the city plows

doing the street, there is NO way Penny will be able to

pull into the driveway tomorrow morning.. So I hope that

he will come and do it.. Penny will have to shovel her way

to the door but at least she wont get stuck. With all this

snow my company wont be coming today :-( I had a nice

dinner all planned too.. Joys of living in Michigan.. just live

day by day, don't plan, specially in the winter :-)

I have gotten lots done today though. I cut out the dress

for my doll here in the living room. I even plan to make her

a little matching hat. Hats are so easy to make and I like

making them ... At one time I made hats for a lady that

did the marketing more or less, she took them around to

different stores and shops to sell them. They did sell very

well as most were washable, plus they were reversible, so

it was like getting 2 hats in one. like my welding hats I made

for my ex brother in law. They say women are so fussy

about hats and things, well.. John was just as bad as were

the other welders.. NONE wanted alike hats, all had to

be different material.. and they say women are bad :-)

The leather ones turned out really nice.

I have mastered my use of my sewing machine that is

working out great. When I called the BROTHER sewing

machine company and talked to that woman, that I swear

was NOT a sewer, she may have known how to operate

a sewing machine, but she wasn't a sewer.. To only turn

a machine on and off you would have no control of the

speed.. she didn't realize that so that's how I KNOW

she doesn't sew.. You have to control the speed, fast

or slow or a stitch at a time.. Anyway- I put my 'foot

pedal' on my arm rest next to the joy stick which helps

keep it up there. Then I use my elbow to control my

machine speed.. works great plus it leaves my hand

free to control my material.. Only thing I seem to be

having a problem with is remembering to move it

from there before I roll away from the table.!. :-)

Ive done that twice now and the case for the pedal

is just plastic and I'm glad it hasnt broken when it

hit the floor.. :-)

Joys of chair life, it still amazes me that even though

being a nurse and around chairs and disabled, I never

fully realized just how challenging chair life is.. Its

not as easy as some make it look the way they jump

in and out of their chairs.. But if you look close those

chairs are different.. closer to the ground, and most

of the people are young. I have no doubt if I was in

my 30's that I would be just as active and probly be

no stopping me.. Now, at 64 I'm not saying its hard,

but its not THAT easy either. and too when you have

other health issues that can cause problems.. that

makes a difference too.. I am most grateful though

that I do have this chair.. just think if no one had

invented it.. I hate to think of what some people

would come up with :-)

Well its lunch time and I'm hungry as usual.. I think I

will have some pea soup.. I love that stuff, its by

Progresso.. which makes the VERY best soup.. Its a tad

more expensive but well worth it for the taste it has.

Time to post and eat and sew AND write my

GORGEOUS WEEBLE "g'day, g'day". :-)

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....
