~We Got Smart!~ :-)

Before switching..

When I wanted to take a picture from my back or front

door, it wasn't easy. The storm doors, as we call them,

are divided so you can put screens in top and bottom or

all glass or half and half. When the warm started Penny

switched the bottom glass for the screen. Which I did

enjoy, except when I wanted to take a picture !.. To take

one through the screen made it hazy or out of focus. So,

if I wanted a clear photo I had to hold my camera above

my head, hoping I was aiming right and take the pictures

that way.. Well.. we got SMARTER yesterday :-)
After...

After I wrote yesterdays blog, Penny was still here,

we had lunch together. Well she made it, so she sure

deserved to EAT some of it.. That meatloaf was

EXCELLENT :-) the cake was delicious. Anyway, I

asked her if she could switch the glass and screen.

She did the front and back doors :-) I AM HAPPY!

I mean, what a difference! I still feel the nice breeze

but NOW with glass at the bottom.. its wonderful..

All my photos wont be out of focus and I can see

what I am taking a picture of and the best part .....

my arms wont ache from holding them above my

head :-) You can see the difference in the two photos.

Plus look how pretty those Morning glories are. They

sure are slow climbers though and with the pole right

there you would think they'd climb it.. DUH.. nope..

Penny had to go out and TIE them up to show the

little beautys what theyre sposta do ! :-)
Im getting there aint I :-) All thats left is a deck. We

get a small free paper, mostly ads and things for sale.
There is a column called Good Neighbor, I wrote to

them, who knows maybe someone has some wood they

dont need.. I also found out from a friend, that used

to be my caseworker, that there is a fund that will help

landowners to improve their property to facilitate a

disabled person.. Like building ramps or fixing a room

or anything. She gave me the number for Joe to call

and Im going to relay the info on to him and who knows

it might work.. Worth a try anyway.. :-)

Its been trying to rain all morning, clouds up, gets all

dull looking then the sun peeks out.. My yard is so dry,

I need a hose and sprinkler. The wind moved that tray

of pots the glories came in that Penny forgot to throw

away and I didnt see them out there. NOW they have

to sit out there, which drives me batty, I HATE mess,

but no one will be here today but Chris the lunch girl,

and I wont ask her to bend over and pick all that up,

even though I know she would, shes such a sweetie.

She comes around the other way on tuesday and thurs

day, just so she can get my mail for me since those

are the days Penny isnt here :-) Chris is going to have

a baby boy in September and its going to be a big

baby by the size of her. So she doesnt need to bend

over to pick all that up for me :-) Penny will be here

tomorrow and take it to the garbage this time, then

if we get more windy storms I dont need to worry

of it blowing all over the neighborhood :-)

I saw a program about kids with this disease Progeria?
Its the one where they age to their 70's and are only

9 or 10 years old.. I watched that show and I kept thinking

of those sweet kids, living a whole lifetime in just a few

years.. From what they said a little girl in the UK I think

is going to be first to test a new drug that they think will

stop this disease.. I watched that, and here I am complaining.

Ive had 64 years, a full life, wish I had done more, but mine

aint over yet and Im looking forward to hopefully 20 more.

But these poor kids, to have to cram a whole lifetime into

just a few years.. The parents of this cute little girl had

taken her to India and were travelling. That sure was nice

of them, at least she is experiencing new and wonderful

things in her short life. I just hope this new med they

think they found works.

Every day I get reminded that MY life isnt really that

bad, sure I sit CONSTANTLY, and I get aches and pains

Im not used to.. but if I take care of all my other health

problems, I can hopefully look forward to 20 or maybe

even MORE years ahead... and those kids.. who has it

harder? I should bite my tongue out of my mouth every

time I whine or have a pity party.. well cant do that either,

I got no bottom teeth.. :-) Im REALLY in bad shape! :-)

Rebecca is due today, what time I have NO idea, dont

matter, I will be here, she will call when she is on the

way. I like to be forewarned of company. Even Donnie

calls first. Sometimes from my driveway, once from

inside the kitchen ! I didnt hear him come in so he

dialed the phone so I wouldnt get scared and stroke

out if I turned around and saw him just standing there,

like he did one time.. Scared the HELL otta me. I bet

I scared him more when he saw the effect it had on me!

Well my next effect I want to feel is the lessening of

these hunger pangs Im feeling.. :-) There is some of

that left over meatloaf calling me to come and make a

sandwich and who could resist that ? :-) Not THIS
GORGEOUS WEEBLE .. Meatloaf here I come ! 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,

Im honored to call you Friend.
I pray the Lord will keep you safe,

Until I write again...
