~Tree Workers~

There were some guys across the street today doing

some tree work.. I heard the sound of that chain saw

and immediately knew what it was, when I heard the

chipper start up it was like old times... At one time we

had all that stuff. By 'we' I mean my 2nd hubby,

Willie...we had a tree service the whole time we were

married, in Houston and ELkhart. Was interesting work.
I watched the guys over there and none climbed, they

used a bucket truck. The guys we had climb for us,

Julio and Chris and Robin, they preferred to climb-

rather than use the bucket.. Willie now, he used the

bucket.. he was a climber too but the bucket is safer

and a lot easier, plus he was a lot older than those

guys.. when he was younger he did. If we had more

than one tree to take down on a job the guys would

race to see who could climb up faster...usually Julio

was the fastest. He was Puerto Rican and a very dear

friend as well..

When Willie had gone back to Texas to do some work

I ran the business and helped.. The day I had the metal

go through my left eye, Julio was the one hitting the

wedge. He felt awful that this had happened to me and

every trip I had to make to the doctor which was almost

every other week, he took me. My sister offered but

when my sis drives, unintentionally, she would swerve, or

make the car do a sudden move.. I would get so nauseated

that I just couldn't ride with her.. So that's when Julio

stepped in and agreed to take me... He has his own tree

service now, with his son Jr. I would love to see him.. He

was little the last time I did.. They say hes over 6 foot

and is in the tree service with his dad.. Time sure flies..

Penny came today and we were talking about our grands.

Her grand, Jaylynn, was born just before my greatgrand

Alex. It will be a year next month. Where has the time

gone? Its already March...time sure is marching.!. pretty

soon AGAIN I will be saying I need to start for my

Christmas list.. :-) Be easier this year since I am sewing

again...

We are all clean and we did good, wasn't a big mess for

Penny, she did laundry and went to the store.. She does

good when shes here. She bought herself a sewing machine,

and took my slippersock pattern home. I made a pair of the

new small pattern I made, she said it fits her 2 grands

that are 4 and 6.. Penny has 6 grands. She is going to

make some socks for them now she has the pattern. I

had a TON of thread and Ive shared some of my supplies

that I did salvage. Shes sewn before but just basics, now

with me here she watches what I make and I give her

tips on things to make her sewing easy and to help prevent

her from making mistakes and have to rip out.

Time for lunch, meatloaf today, and needless to say I AM
HUNGRY! :-) as usual. :-) Penny makes excellent meatloaf,

I will nuke a potato and I'm set! I got up later today I am

most pleased to say.. 7:30.. but I did wake up 3 times...:-)

once at 12, once at 3, and once at 5... :-) but I kept my

butt in the bed and I fell back to sleep.. I feel pretty

good today and hopefully will stay up longer..:-) I don't

even remember watching TV last nite... :-)

Post time and GORGEOUS WEEBLE "G'day, G'day" time.

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...
