~Hot Day~

Suncatchers over the kitchen sink...

Talk about HOT! WOW.. 93 yesterday. I woke this

morning at 6:30 and was already over 80. I opened

the doors for awhile, till Penny, thank GOD!, got here

at 9:30.. late, but better late than NEVER! We all

were very glad to see her.. She does have a very bad

cough that she just cant seem to get rid of. With her

working for the state, she has no health insurance,

so she cant run to the doctor or ER at the drop of a

hat, which makes it hard for her, even though home

aides do have a union. But it does nothing to help them,

only charges them dues, and they have NO choice but

to join it.. Not right but the way things are now, so many

looking for work, those that have jobs are gonna try to

keep them, Penny is one, and if she keeps getting sick

and missing days, it sure doesn't help her paycheck..

We were glad to see her anyway. I had already done

a lot so she really didn't have a lot to do but dust, shop

and do the litter box, I do it but I cant wash it out

etc, which she does at least ONCE a week. But we are

clean again and the boys are happy they have their

treats... :-)

Rebecca didn't come today, she will next week. She

will have more information for me by then. She phoned

and said if I needed anything, in case Penny didn't show

up, she would come and do what I needed done, trash

out etc, not a lot.. which was nice of her.. She again told

me "LOIS, DONT WORRY".. so, I'm gonna try to do just

that. I have to. I cant afford any problems, I want to

enjoy being here, this place is so great and will be even

better once I get a deck, well even if I don't, this is a

great place and I AM GOING TO ENJOY IT.. PERIOD!

DOT. End of that ! :-)

I made the cutest shirt and shorts for Alex, Penny took

them to the post office to mail to Kelli. Its easier and

really cheaper to mail them for him than for her to run

up here and get them. Even though I would love the time

with our boy. :-) She said they will come up and spend a

after noon with me which would be great. Be nice to have

a little party, have Donnie and my other 2 grand daughters

Nikki and Amber, and the 3 they have, Nikki's Cameron

and Caden, and Ambers little girl Kirsten... Be a nice day!
I havent seen them for ages.. But to have my 3 grands

and my 4 great grands here all at one time.. don't you

KNOW my camera would be busy !! .. :-)

My boy got called back to work! Donnie went back Monday.

Monaco is back open, they merged with NAVSTAR and I

guess most of the employees have been called back.. Donnie

is pleased.. Although knowing him I think he liked this spare

job hes created, building decks and working outside. But

who wouldn't rather be outside than in.. specially when these

companys don't have air conditioning and rely on AIR COOLED.

which means Open Window ! IF you are lucky to have them!

Lots of places I worked no AC, I think that's where they got

the name of manufacturing places as Sweat Shops.. cuz no

air.. you sweated your patooty off :-) But I'm glad one of my

boys has gone back to work. Now, we just need to find a job

for Mark.. hes in the UK though- so anyone knows of some

jobs there around London, let me know !! :-)

I love animals, y'all know that.. go to the animal rescue site.

Http://www.theanimalrescuesite.com/tpc/ERA_062408_ARS

and click on the one for Kalamazoo, they don't have one, and

need one there, you can vote from any country, so we need this

shelter for the animals.. I go there daily and click.. Its at least

ONE way I can help the animals.. If I had a bigger place I sure

would take in orphan dogs and cats. Specially if they are from

a home where their owner has died. They go thru grief just

like we do and these poor cats and dogs are hauled off to the

shelters, which do treat them well.. but not like they would

get from a private halfway house till someone took them. I

feel for these animals.. They show them on TV and I about

cry when I see the sad eyes and such sad dogs and cats.
Breaks my heart. So Help if you can PLEASE :-)

I'm gonna go help myself to some lunch.. what, I have NO

idea.. I don't really have a big appetite when its hot. Its

not really cool in here and I don't know which will be cheaper

to run, the fans or the AC.. I will have to do a test.. Finish

off this month with fans, then next month try the central

air.. I have a feeling my electric bill will go through the roof.

Just like the gas does in the winter. The ceiling fans are

great though feeling the breeze from them. Its tolerably

cool in here.. This HOT GORGEOUS WEEBLE will "BE
BACK !" :-)


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 ord will keep you safe,

Until I write again...
