~Yard Crew~ :-)

Busy day outside here. Not for me, but for Carl and his

wife. They do good yardwork.. Carl had the weed eater

and then his wife came on the rider. They keep it in the

garage, I noticed the pontoon boat is out of there. Joe

said if I ever want a ride on the pontoon to just let him

know.. I just might take him up on that !! Wanna go with?
I didn't get a chance to flag Carl down to ask him about

the deck. I would have gone outside, but Penny didn't come

today, shes got a bad sore throat and coughing.. Shes not

sure if its just allergies or flu or what.. She said she will

take some meds that have helped her before and try real

hard to come tomorrow. My sis phoned last nite and she

and Stanley are coming up here tomorrow. She, of course,

HAS power ranger material.. from what she says 4 different

prints.. :-) Tyler will be VERY happy young man when he sees

what his Gran is sending him.. Will be like no one elses !! I

wish I could make some things for Danny.. but I don't hear

from Richard, I havent since February. I had hoped to hear

he had gotten his birthday gift, but I havent.. I know he got

it, his father told me when he phoned, as he was there.
Tree UpDate .. so pretty.. I am enjoying the view...
Peonie update.. its covered with buds. growing fast :-) im pleased :-)
I don't want to interfere with their life if he doesn't want it.

I wont force myself on anyone.. I have so many other major

issues to deal with that I cant worry over this. I opened this

door my own self, fully aware of how it could turn out. 1 out of

2 isnt bad. Mark has fully accepted that I would like to share

his life, and I will say I am MOST pleased.. He hasnt held a

grudge or bad feelings at all towards me. Ive answered his

questions and we have discussed many many things that he

was told, what he remembers.. which being only 4 he doesn't

remember - more of what he was told. He knows the truth

and the circumstances.. A mother has to do what she has to do.

I am no exception.. It may have taken me 30 years.. but I made

it.. I was bound and determined I would find them before I die.

I have. I'm not a bad person because of a decision I made all

those years ago.. that may SEEM bad to some.. but, you had to

be in my shoes.. I had feet then.. and the path I walked was

not an easy one. Any mother that gives up her child for what

ever reason, I truly believe, WILL try to find them, and if

they are lucky enough to, I hope all the other moms out there

that have had to do this, when they find their child, they are

as receptive as Mark, which I think 99% are. We ALL need

to know our heritage, and you can only get that from your

parents and family...
ANYHOWAY!!!! I do have GOOD news.. Looky that photo.. Do

you see it?? YES !!! the BLACK KITTIE !! I say its a female,

and she has babies I bet.. I watched her as she nervously ate,

steady looking back towards the corner of the garage where

I see her disappear around.. She hurriedly finished- I bet not

even 10 minutes- she rushed back around that corner and Ive

not seen her since. Shes a mommie I bet.. I would LOVE to

see the babies.. I keep threatening to get one. I just hate to

go through the neutering. I felt so bad when my boys were

done.. Its not stopped them from diddling their girl friends

though !! I guess they are just 'shooting blanks' :-) as they

say.. :-) I wouldn't think they still 'wanted to' ! Being 'done'

hasnt stopped the desire, just like being sterilized or what

ever they call for a human.. doesn't take away the desire..

so I guess its the same for animals.. hmmm.. never thought

of that.. :-)

Well ive covered a ton of subjects.. :-) note not the major

major stuff though.. I will say that the phantoms have eased

a bit.. I hope this rain has stopped cuz I know that's what

contributed to it.. and I really think stress does as well.. Ive

heard so many different things about phantoms as to the

cause, plus some I have heard they have stopped ! I find that

hard to believe.. but then maybe what I call phantoms are

not what someone else would call them.. I know they HURT!

and if its true they WILL stop I wonder WHEN? Been 8

years for me.. 2002.. Jan/Feb / Nov, I sure wish they would!

My wish right now is to find something for lunch, get out

of this chair for a while and then to try to straighten up

just in case Penny doesn't make it. I like to have it nice

for when Shirley gets here.. I invited my niece and brother

and his wife up on Sunday, I don't know if they will be

coming yet though.. Be nice if they did and very good for

Kenny to get out of the house.. I hope they come.. Ive

not seen them for.. hmmmm.. 3 years? TOO LONG ...

Post time, food time.. but first my GORGEOUS WEEBLE

"have a great week end!" :-)

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...
