~HumHer Visit~ :-)

HumHer came by for a visit with me this morning!

Usually Hummy does first.. He did come by later. I

thought this was neat how shes really drinking. I

have the best time taking these photos, and I don't

know why I do.. no one really wants them.. I bet I

go thru 2 batteries every other day, If not every

day.. I take LOTS of photos, I pick and choose the

ones I put here, If I put them all- that's all that

would be here, no room for my 2 cents :-) THAT

would NOT be good :-)
I was telling a friend that I am curious to see if there

is a camera I could plug into the electric, then I could

leave it on all the time and I bet I wouldn't miss ANY

thing out there :-) There is an outlet outside too :-)
But if I could plug a camera in that would be better, I

know with my old video camera, I wish that thing worked,

I had fun with that. I was even more deadly with that

camera than a snapshot :-) I have some good videos of

the "Good Old Days". I bet I have at least 20 or so

tapes I don't have the adaptor to watch them on a VCR

I should have them put on cd but I don't know how to

do that either. But that worked on battery or plug in.

I still have it.. I wish it did work :-) It takes those small

tapes about the size of a pack of ciggies to view them

I need an adaptor that the tapes go into then they go

into a VCR... which I think are becoming obsolete from

what I hear..
I have some old 8 mm tapes I would LOVE to have put

onto cd before they get ruined. They are from when

I was very young, my dads videos, he liked to take

pictures too.. :-) I have them on VCR tapes but I still

would like them put on cd. I havent looked at those

tapes I have in years, I'm glad they havent gotten

ruined with all the storing and moving.. I had some

great tapes of Kelli and Kimmie, her mother. I

guarded for over 20 years to be able to give them

to Kelli. She has had them put onto CD. These are

the only movies she has of her mom.. Kimmie was

killed in a car accident when Kelli was 4, so she

didn't remember a lot about her, now with the marvels

of these great cameras she could hear and see her

mom, and I'm glad I had them to give to her..

Penny came today and worked hard inside and out.

The dirty bird was back and took his daily birdbath.

Penny cleaned it out and put fresh water in it.. That

could be so pretty out there if all the grass was

dug out from between the cracked cement, all edged

and at each corner put a little piece of picket fence.

Then a really cute bird HOUSE.. They would have a

nice little place out there :-) And I would have THE
best fun watching them... :-) And taking pictures:-)

The sunflower is doing good and there are blooms

on the honeysuckle again ! :-)

Oh, the Magic Week starts the 5th to the 8th. I was

wrong, I thought it started the 1st.. Go to the Colon, MI

website the daily list of stuff is there, from what it

says there will be something going on over here at the

high school twice a day.. :-) Be busy around here :-)
I am SO GLAD I have my CAMERA :-)

Time for lunch, Penny is making meat pie.. She does

very good at it. She likes my recipes for stuff, it

gives her ideas of things to fix for the people she

cooks for at home, they like my recipes too :-) Post

time and for my GORGEOUS WEEBLE warning.. :-)
"I shall return! " :-)

Y'all have a good one now, Y'hear? luv 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...

~Kittie Treats~ :-)

Almost the 1st. I'm glad, these 5 week months get to

me sometimes.. I run so close to the red. Seems when

I run out of one thing, like laundry soap or some cleaning

supplies, they all run out at once. Same with the boys cat

food or litter. And they HAVE to have their treats! Well,

I have cookies or candy or whatever, they should too! :-)

These new ones we tried they really like them.. theyre

by Whiskas, Temptations, theyre called and if I even

touch the bag I can get these 2 cats to come to me faster

than if I had a bird or a fish for them, which is probly

what they taste like :-) Theyre crunchy on the outside

and soft on the inside. How do I know? It says so on the

package! :-) NO, I did NOT try them :-)
Had to share this birdy one, kinda neat with his mouth open :-)

Would you believe, I was sitting in the back doorway and

I see one of those wasps right in front of me? I wasn't

sure he was on the outside OR inside. I didn't take any

chances and smacked it with a catalog I had on the blue

bench by the door.. That's the 3rd one in about as many

days, I don't like that.. Makes me nervous, specially if

I'm sleeping, I don't want to get stung or worse ! I have,

well, I probly shouldn't admit this, well put it this way,

I have a tendency to "breathe heavily".. in other words,

sometimes I SNORE :-) which means mouth open! What

if one of those things flew in my mouth? ICKKKAAAA !!!

When I was younger, we all would go up to the Ontonagon,

The old fish hatchery. All the family was there of course,

and it was supper time, all the men had come back from

fishing and the fish were cooked. My mom told me to

go and call my cousins to come and eat. :-) I did. As soon

as I opened my mouth to call them, this HUGE horsefly

flew into my mouth! I didn't know what to do.. It buzzed

in there but I couldn't spit it out, so I swallowed it :-)
I did! I went back by my mom and told her what happened,

she just smiled and said "well, I hope your still hungry!" :-)

Which I was, fresh caught brook trout? Who wouldn't be?

That's never happened again, maybe cuz I learned to keep

my mouth shut? :-) We know THAT hasnt happened! :-)

My thumbs are getting really bad, the more I use them. My

left ached so bad when I was putting the elastic in Alex's

shorts I had to quit and one pair I couldn't even put it in

and sent them to Kelli for her to do it. THATS not good.

The left is worse than the right, but theyre both bad. I

know its carpal tunnel, but I think the left hurts more cuz

its the one I damaged when I worked for EDS, I fell and

tried to stop my fall by putting my hand out, and hit the

base of my left thumb.. I had to go to the ER and every

thing, wasn't broke but bruised really bad. Its not worked

right since.

Well sore thumb or not I have a baby quilt to make and I
may make some receiving blankets for Chris. Shes such a

sweet kid. She has 2 daughters, the youngest is 6, so she

may not have a lot of baby things. The quilt is Winnie the

Pooh with Tigger. It will be cute, and I will take a photo

when its all done. I sure would like to get to know the twin

lady, Joyce said shes a quilter. She may need some fabric

sometime and I could save her a trip to the store, even

though I know she drives, I see her go in her car a lot.

Her garden is doing so good, but it should with all the

TLC she gives it every day... :-)

Lunch time and time to post this for today. This was

a nice quiet day, or has been so far.. :-) I hope it

continues this way. Plus this GORGEOUS WEEBLE

needs to do something constructive to prove I did

deserve to have this day.. :-) BUT, fair warning!
"I SHALL RETURN!" :-)

Y'all have a good one now, Y'hear? luv ya and Thanks!
Always, Lois ****

"God Bless You", is my prayer today,

~Trees~

Because I really enjoy sitting at my front and back doors, and prefer doing that rather than watch TV or even be online, I wonder does that make me "odd"? When I turn on my TV, even with all those channels.. there are VERY few shows I watch. I prefer to notice all the different things I see out side. Trees for one.. There are at least 4 different pine trees I can see and 2 are in my yard! The one closest, has pine cones, and the needles are sort of soft.. The one closest to the road, I do LIKE that tree, which usually I don't like pines in a yard, its too hard to grow grass under them even if you keep them lifted up which mine are... The bottom branches were all trimmed up. Up north along US 2 they plant pine trees to keep the snow off the roads, but they don't clip the bottom branches. Over by that trailer where the amputee man lives, next door I think they have a pool behind that fence. If I look I can just make out some flowers sticking up.. Hollyhocks.. Lovely flowers.. There is a pine over there that is a short needle kind they use more for Christmas trees.. My dad found a sapling of a Tamarack tree during one of his treks through the woods.. Its not legal to take trees out of the woods, if you get caught you could be in trouble. same with taking the wildflowers. But he wanted this tree as they are hard to find. He took it home and planted it, the needles on that tree are like velvet, so soft and just beautiful.. By the time I moved back up there in 89, it was quite big. I hope its still there... Over by the trailer guys there is a weeping willow out front of his place that you can just see some of the branches.. I really like the willow tree, when I was little my mother told me I said whipping willow.. not WEEPING :-) Willows are a very messy tree and can give you fits cleaning the yard when it decides to shed. Plus they are water hogs.. and unless you live by water, well they could mess up your water lines :-) Having a tree service for so many years and growing up among 3 national forests.. I got to know trees.. The birch is very popular up north.. The Native Americans used it for everything from canoes to writing on it and Carl has one of those, the Robins nested in it :-) Next to Carls house, that big dark green one, its a silver maple, when the wind blows the leaves on the underside are kinda white, so it changes color when its windy.. :-) I KNOW you want to know this stuff :-) But watch and check out YOUR backyard.. See just what is out there. You might be amazed.. I saw one of the little birds was eating some bread I put out there, I saw a little white butterfly go by and that bird flew straight up and I could see him aiming for that little flutterby.. that bird had him for desert!! :-) Theres a lot to see IF you LOOK for it.. :-) Well time for me to look for some lunch. Penny was here and we are all vacuumed and dusted and clean. She does good work, Penny has been with me almost 3 years now. We are anxiously waiting for her cat to have her babies.. She has a Siamese, that is VERY mean. But most are very moody. When they eat by themselves she is going to bring one here so we can see how the boys like it.. I kinda think they will like having a baby kittie. Someone new to play with :-) This GORGEOUS WEEBLE is ready to eat, I'm kinda hungry.. Its raining again today and I SURE know it! But, "I shall RETURN! " :-) Y'all have a good one now, Y'hear? luv 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...

~Monster Wasp!~ :-)

I was sitting and watching my favorite show, Deadliest

Catch, and I saw this big black bug crawling inside my

lace curtains I have on the window in the bedroom. My

only TV is in there.. anyway, it was too high up and when

I REALLY looked at it, it was a wasp. They WILL sting

you.. So.. I had to sit for a minute and of course figure

a plan of attack.. I cant just go after it bare handed, be

my luck I'd miss and it would bite me.. THAT wouldn't be

good.. So.. I went and got the MOP!.. its like a window

squeegy kind with a rubber blade on one side and a

sponge on the other... It took me almost an hour to kill

that stinkin thing.. :-( I think it was made of IRON! :-)
I hit it behind the blind, behind the curtain, on the wall,

even on the floor and that bug kept getting up and going

back up the curtain.. While I'm banging away at this thing

I KNEW Dutch would hear and him being so nosey would

HAVE to come and see.. Well I didn't want that thing to

sting the cat! No telling what effect it would have. Then

THAT would be all I'd need a cat going insane and a killer

wasp on the loose! THIS was NOT GOOD ! :-) I was

getting really upset that I just could NOT kill this wasp..

I even thought of calling Carl! No way I would just let it

go.. This is the 2nd one ive killed.. The first one was in

the living room window a few days ago...
I heard a crash and my blinds rattle, the mini blinds I

have on all the windows.. I rolled into the living room

and there Dutch was sitting on top my printer and had

knocked everything OFF of it while he was trying to

get up in that window.. I rolled up to it and pulled the

blind up and saw that huge wasp, I bet these things

are at least an inch long! I had a napkin on my desk, I

grabbed it and of course MISSED! When I did, that

wasp swung his stinger around and was REALLY tryin

to sting me.. And worst part, while I'm fighting this

stinkin wasp I'm fighting Dutch at the same time !
He WANTED that wasp! We have such fun here ! :-)
Well I got rid of the wasp finally, I think it got in

when Donnie came by. He had Jerky with him.. He

has split custody of the dog.. :-) Dawn is living with

some one else, but Donnie goes over and gets the

dog while she works so the dog is not alone :-) Plus

his cat isnt so whiney when she has Jerky there to

play with.. Jerky was limping, he has a bad front leg,

he hurt it when he was a puppy and I guess Dawn's

new roomie, plays kinda rough with him and has made

it sore again... Donnie wasn't too pleased, but he said,

Jerky likes to play rough, only way he knows how to

play...We had a nice visit, and of course he raided the

fridge, you see proof! :-) He hadnt had supper yet

and was starved, so he took the mostacolloi or what

ever, home with him, plus a few other donations from

my fridge and cabinets.. Donnie hates goin to the grocery

store. So I get some things for him when I know

hes coming up.. Hes going by Kelli's tonite so he took

our boys new stuff to him.. Hes gonna help Jorge

baby proof the cabinets :-) That's a good thing to do.
See all the birds on the bath and the ground? Id like to clear
all that grass from the cracks and edge it.. Any volunteers? :-)

I want you to know, this male hummer, Hummy is a

stinker! He KNOWS I'm watching him and he teases

me I think! He came by this morning while I was on

the phone, but sitting in the doorway, that little thing

SAT on the post to WAIT till I got the camera out..
When he figured I had enough time to get it ready,

he zipped up right in my face again.! I bet if I was

out there he would come right to me.. Hes not afraid

of Dutch either.. This is so neat.. I LOVE this.. 2 great

things I have out in this yard the birdbath and the

hummer feeder :-)
Penny planted some of the sunflower seeds that were

in the birdseed.. I figured they would get to be the

big TALL kind.. Well look.. do you see the buds on it?
I think its gonna bloom.. I didn't know they grew short

ones.. :-) There are fields of sunflowers in the UP.. I

loved riding out to Broznowski's farm to get eggs when

the fields were blooming.. Take Gibbs City Road off US2

up there outside of Iron River, one of the nicest rides

you will ever take.. Some beautiful scenery from flowers

to streams to national forest, not counting all the places

to fish. According to my Dad, and I agree it IS God's

Country, and not too many places can compare. But I

think every state is beautiful, in their own way. :-)

Well, its time to check out my back yard again and

see what comes into camera range :-) I gave Donnie

my left overs so I will have to see what the lunch

driver brings, it wont be Chris today, Vinnie, I think

will bring it.. Hes very nice too and been here before.

Looks like rain.. Yard sure can use it.. I never did call

Joe .. I hate to pester him.. but I want this place to

look nice, theres gonna be a lot of people outside and

I want this place to look as nice outside as nice as it is

INSIDE :-)

Time to post and put my daily GORGEOUS WEEBLE
"I'll be back" !

Y'all have a good one now, Y'hear? luv ya and Thanks!
Always, Lois ****

"God Bless You", is my prayer today,

I'm honored to call you Friend.

~Funny Hummy~

Hummy was here this morning and I want you to know,

that little bird KNOWS I am watching.. He saw me and

he came RIGHT up to the door, IN MY FACE! Looking

at me as if to say "Ok... NOW, take my picture!".. I was

so busy looking at him I kept trying to snap him but I

had such fun watching him I couldn't get the camera

right and I took some pics, but he wasn't in them, I
MISSED ! .. But I did get some, you can tell that's the

male, hes such a wonderful emerald green. Since Penny

put fresh water out there Friday, both of my hummies

have been steady here, but I just cant get my camera

on in time :-) I try though.. Plus the robin came for his
bath! I bet he splashed around out there for 30 minutes
at least.. He really likes that birdbath :-)
Penny came today and we are all clean, laundry and all.
I had her go to the store, the boy is out of peanut

butter, crunchy kind of course, and he may come by

tonight or tomorrow, and I plan to ask him to help

move the desks around. I want to get my living room

straightened up and looking like it should.. So I had

Penny get some JIF peanut butter, raspberry jam

and a couple bananas, well you cant have a pb&j with

no bananas... it will be a nice way to thank him for

helping me.. I want to ask him about Julio, that used

to work for me, hes one of the best tree and yard

guys around. I would LOVE to have my sidewalks

and that cement pad out back cleared and looking

nice, edged, and just nice for this weekend.. Lots

of people and I want it to look nice ..
Ive been telling that Ive been sewing lately, some

shorts and tops for my GreatGrand, Alex. There

are his shorts, I think the camo ones are so cute.
I don't have the elastic in all of them yet, I'm

putting them together then will put in the elastic

for the waistbands.. I'm used to assembly line sewing.

If I have a few things that can use the same color

thread I do them all at the same time, so I don't have

to change threads so often.. Well the thread color

HAS to match the fabric ! Even on jammies and play

shorts :-)
The orange set and the white set I made V neck top,

they open at the shoulders which will make it very

easy for Kelli to get the top on Alex.. They will make

nice cool jammies for the boy, or really for what ever

Kelli wants him to wear them as.. Shes the mom.. but

by me making these it will save her money plus give

her a variety of stuff for him to wear. But now you

see I havent fibbed, I still have a brown set to do

a black set with space ships and a pair of gold shorts.

I might get them done today. I hope so then if the

boy does come tonight he can take them to Kelli on

his way to or from work, depending which way he

goes down into Elkhart. If not, I can mail them.

Time to post this and go and eat lunch with Penny.

She made sauce and cooked some mostaccioli,

nice change from angel hair pasta. It smells good!

Saves her buying a lunch and having to stop on the

way to her next client, Mickey. Penny helps her the

same days she helps me, but in the afternoon.

Tis time for this GORGEOUS WEEBLE to let you

know that this post is done, BUT! I will be back !

Hope you had a good Monday :-)

Y'all have a good one now, Y'hear? luv ya, and Thanks!

~Dogs Next Door~

Every Sunday I hear and see a Amish buggy go by. The sound

of the "clip, clop,clip,clop" is like no other. I got up early

because usually every Sunday morning about 8:15 or so

one goes by, last Sunday 2 of them. So I figgured they

would go by today too.. Well... I'm still waiting and not a

sign of them, but I did see Steve next door when he

let their 2 labs out.
They came right up to the door and I was going to take

a picture, well I tried, but Dutch jumped up at the same

time and he wanted those dogs and scratched at the glass

and growled, so did the dogs kinda growl back. So I missed

the close up of the dogs, but if you look close you can tell

them apart. The older female, Maggie, shes a lab, her ears

don't stand up like her puppy, which is the one having a P

in my front yard! :-) I don't know her name yet...Shes a

pretty dog and I like the stand up ears makes her look more

like a black shepherd than a lab. And I LOVE Shepherds.
I got really tired yesterday and decided to lay on my bed

to watch TV, it was about 6. Usually I try to stay in it longer

cuz laying for too long isnt good either. Well- I just have

NO control and I STILL swear there is a button on my

clicker or TV remote, what ever you call it, that shuts ME
off. I dozed off and when I opened my eyes I of course

looked at the time. It said 7:18. I looked at the window,

bright daylight, so..I GET UP! I'm thinking its 7:18 AM,

as in MORNING!!

I slide into my chair, go out and turn this puter on, then

make my potty stop on the way to the kitchen to feed the boys

and make my coffee, my usual daily routine.. When I get

into the kitchen and I go up to the coffee maker, I notice

the sun is coming in thru the window on the WEST side

of the house, above the kitchen sink? I sat there for a

minute and I honestly told my self "You are SO STUPID,

its NIGHT"! :-) I cant believe some of the stuff I do :-)
Bet YOU cant either ~!~ :-)

I was what, confused? Nuts? Still asleep? I shouldn't tell

on myself, but well It IS funny. :-D I think I need a really

nice vacation, instead of inviting any one here I think I
NEED an invite to visit someone :-) This is bad. :-) Well

I have to show once in a while that I am NOT perfect

ALL the time.. 99% of the time, yes, but I have to have the

1% just to keep me on my invisible toes :-) Plus keeps this

interesting, ya just NEVER know what your're gonna read

here. :-)

Right now your gonna read that its post time and that this

GORGEOUS TELL ON HERSELF WEEBLE is hungry :-)

Same thing again, I have NO idea what.. Bad thing is I

ALWAYS find something !! :-) No, that's a GOOD thing,

Id be really upset if I found an empty kitchen :-) Post

time, but "I shall return" :-)

Y"all have a good one now, Y'hear? luv ya and Thanks !

~Monocular & Binocular~

Dutch has to be in Mom's Photos :-) I told him to smile :-) he didnt
listen as usual :-)
I am having the best time with these 2 doorways, watching

all the great stuff outside, this having the glass on the bottom,

we're missing the nice breeze right on us, but I can still feel

it and I can get some great photos now. I was sitting in the

front this morning and noticed something in the field across

the street. So, I got out my monocular, which is like a spy

glass like the old ship captains had centuries ago.. mine is

just a newer version that a very special dear friend sent to

me when I mentioned that I had my dads binoculars, which

are very good, but NOW I have a pair at each doorway, so

I don't have to risk dropping them. If I damaged my dads

I sure would be upset. I think I have a photo somewhere

of my dad holding them even, and I'm about 11 I think.. They

are Bell & Howell, and still great.
I saw Jesse black dog being let out by himself, where the

other dog was I have no idea.. Well, as I'm sitting there

watching Jesse, I see this spot moving really FAST headed

this way! I realized was a squirrel after a second or two of

squinting and finally getting out my spyglass to make sure.

It was a squirrel, I quick looked to see where the dog was,

cuz he will chase a squirrel I saw him do that. Jesse did

not see this one, he was too busy chewing on a zuchinni :-)

I sure didn't want to see that squirrel getting caught

by that dog and not be able to do anything. THAT

would be awful... I saw the 2 neighbors dogs escape

yesterday and I worried about them all night ! :-)

I STILL don't know if they got them back.
The squirrel made across the street, luckily no cars.

That one I watched try to get across the street that

time in 3 Rivers almost drove me nuts, he would start

across then stop, run back, till I just couldn't watch

him, there was a lot of traffic, but I never saw a little

body out there in the road so he either gave up or

made it across ! :-) Which this one did too. This one

is quite big.
We, I always say WE, like I do it.. PENNY changed

the water in the Hummer feeder. It says DO NOT

put food coloring in the water. I noticed the past

few days that I had not seen Hummy, that's what

I call the male and HumHer is the female :-) You

can tell the difference because of the red around

the males neck. Well Id mentioned to Penny that

maybe we need to make some juice for them, which

is just boiling water with sugar, 4 parts water to 1

part sugar. This morning they have steady been

out there, they are so fast I have a hard time getting

a picture ! By the time I get my camera on and shut

off the flash theyre gone ! I sit and call them tho :-)
I do.. I call them.. I call the cardinal when I hear his

"purtypurtypurty" he sometimes will come too ! :-)
Ive not seen him in a while tho.. But I sure am glad

not having the RED water the Hummingbirds will

still come by.. :-)
Rained all night with thunder and the whole 9 yards.

Today is gloomy and dark and threatening to rain.

Which I hope it does. I like seeing the grass green

and not all dry. I'm going to call Joe and see if he

may have an extra sprinkler and hose I can use. We

got a new hose last year but I guess was too cheap

and Penny says its not worth a crap.. it leaks.. so I

bet Joe would have a few, hes got lots of propertys.

I hope he does.. I really cant afford to get one. Well

I could if I save, but this being a 5 week month it

sure puts the screechers on doing anything extra. I
HAD to get the birdbath I had money put aside for

that anyway :-)
See Hummy on the left? I should name him Speedy! :-)

Ive been taking an aspirin a day lately and I sure can

feel a difference. The chest pains have ALMOST

stopped. If I get excited or wound up I can feel my

pressure going up and then the chest starts.. So I

am glad my 'plan of attack' on handling this rent

issue is working. It was getting the best of me, I'm

still not back back but I'm lots better, I am at least

REALLY enjoying my blessings of having this place.

I guess it doesn't matter how long I have it as long

as I ENJOY it while I do, and I am trying VERY hard

to do that. :-)


RINGY DINGY!!! The lunch bell is ringing! :-) and I

am kinda hungry, I have NO idea what for though, so,

I'll have to do a search and seizure out in my kitchen.

:-) SatDay today I may wait and make my favorite

things.. :-) I'm sure you know what that is too :-)
This GORGEOUS WEEBLE needs to get busy.. BUT!
"I SHALL RETURN!" I know your glad :-)


Y'all have a good one now, Y'hear? luv ya and Thanks!

~The First Bath~ :-)

Penny planted some sun flower seeds outside by the honey

suckle and they are growing so good! They get taller every

day and I know they will get at least 5 or 6 feet tall. The

honeysuckle vines and climbs but I don't know if it can be

trimmed with out killing it and this stuff is going every

where but UP the trellis! When it bloomed it was just

wonderful, the smell was awesome. But I would hate to

trim them and kill them. So I'm going to look it up just

to make sure... NOW, the next photo is....
The FIRST witnessed BIRDBATH.. IN the birdbath!

:-) Was a robin.. He had the best time and just splashed

up a storm out there. I ve been waiting to see one of

the birds take a bath, many drink, but this Robin was

the first bather :-) Penny went out to put some feed

and check it and said he had to have been a dirty bird

the birdbath was filthy! She washed it out :-) It was

so nice to watch that Robin, he stayed out there for

quite a while. I guess its a lot safer than going to the

waters edge and onto the ground, where else would

a bird take a bath other than a lake or river or puddle?

A birdbath in a yard, that's what I would do ifn I was

a bird... :-)
Rebecca came today and we discussed this crap again,

not much, I told her what I can do and what I cant,

and when CMH approves it I will sign the papers and

pay what I said I would. I do keep my word. All she

said was "Do what you can do, you wont be evicted".

So.. That's what I'm going on.. She brought me a

really nice candle holder for my wall, its really pretty,

I havent decided where to put it though. Its black

and I think I may spray paint it gold or blue. I'm not

sure yet as to where I want to put it.. It might look

nice in the living room too.. But NOT black, gold for

in there, blue if I put it in the kitchen..
Rebecca mentioned about the Magic Week which

starts next Saturday, that this coming week will be

VERY exciting. She said I will be amazed at the

number of people that will be everywhere. I will

have BIG fun taking photos! :-) Maybe I should put

a sign out to warn every one that if they come within

range.. I'm gonna take their picture :-)
Steve was outside with his 2 dogs, both black labs,

the mom and daughter. I was in the doorway and

both dogs came right up to the door, the younger

one licked it even.. Dutch spotted the dogs and

went insane.. Hes used to Jerky, hes brown, but

he saw these 2 black ones, he got scared and he

actually growled.. His hair on his back stood up

and He was gonna get those dogs.. Probly WAS

a good thing the screen wasn't there, he probly

would have gone right through it.. LB saw them

too, but he just turned and walked away :-)
I saw the neighbor pull into his driveway in

that red truck, then noticed he had a trailer,

which hes not had over there before.. HEY,

I miss nothing.. :-) I believe in Neighborhood

Watch.. I HOPE they watch out for me too !
Anyway, I saw all that wood on the back of it

and I sure would have liked to have it.. Bet all

that would be a good start on a deck for me!
Be nice to have one, and I am going to find out

about that deal Becky told me about.. To sit

out there next week would be great!

Well, now I'm gonna sit and eat lunch. WHAT,

I have NO idea, but I will find something.. Do

you realize that next month, it will only be 5

months to Christmas AGAIN? WHERE has the

time gone? See? Time just flies when your're

having fun :-) This GORGEOUS WEEBLE

gives you fair warning.... "I'll be BACK!" :-)

Y'all have a good one now, Y'hear? Luv 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....
