~Cold Is Better~:-)

My cold is a tad better I am glad to say. I still have

a bit of a headache.. but it will go away I hope.. Its

been a quiet day and Ive not heard anything from

Deborah at the insurance about R&R if they or some

one are going to come and fix the arm of my chair.

I was going to call but, to be honest I just get really

fed up with having to call and remind people to do

their jobs. I know they are busy and have more than

just me to help, but they get a call and set it aside

and 9 times out of 10 will forget to finish what they

started.. I will call tomorrow if I don't hear from her

today.. I will give her today to make some arrangements,

I'm sure she will.. Deborah is very nice and really helps

me when I call her.

I got a email today that amazed me.. It was a video of a

big huge crane looking thing and what it did was cut down,

strip and cut UP trees! They don't even need anyone else

but to come behind and pick up the bark and branches

and get the logs. I had never seen anything like this. I

watch a show on TLC and its called Axe Men, about the

loggers. That is a hard and dangerous job. This machine

would put a lot of people out of work I bet! I did wonder

though how it would act on a hill which that's the terrain

out west where they are doing this much logging.. Although

they do log a lot in the UP of Michigan.. Ask me how I know

that !! :-)

Many times going down the roads you would have to pass a

log truck and then sometimes they passed YOU.!. David and

I were on our way up to visit our friends at home when we

lived in Green Bay. When we left it was nice. Almost dark,

but we knew the roads we travelled it just about every

other week end.. On this night however.. we got about 40

miles from home in fact we were going thru Long Lake, just

before getting to Tipler, Wisconsin.. :-) Well it started to

snow, heavily.. We could hardly see the road.. almost worse

than our trip out to the Brule Tap. :-)

I heard David do sort of a gasp..and saw him look into the

rear view mirror, as I turned around I saw the truck.. a

logging truck and the snow was flying everywhere he was

going so fast.. I just slowly turned around and looked at

David and said "I'm not watching". and looked down.. I

glanced up just in time to see Davids hands clenched on

the steering wheel and that logging truck went flying

past us so fast the car actually shook. Snow everywhere,

and I told David I KNOW he knows this road and hes

clearing it off,so stay close".. we did.. and made it home

ok.. Scared me though.. its bad enough during the day

light to contend with a logging truck, but at night AND

in a snow storm.. it aint fun.. Believe me.. :-)

Its a beautiful day in the neighborhood today, really

nice. I'm anxious to get out side but we had some

extra cleaning today as the boys decided to run a

marathon at 5:30 this morning and I woke to the

sound of my end table crashing to the floor. No

damage but a mess and I had to pick it all up if I

wanted out of the bedroom this morning, so we

decided to do some extra cleaning.. Nothing major

but I might have company later in the week from

out of town so I want the house perfect.. :-)

So, lunch is Mrs. Grass soup again.. it does make me

feel better, plus the extra noodle one is even better

with MORE noodles.. Hopefully I will get rid of this

headache and this day will end smoothly. Time to post

then go and eat. First 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...
