~Ramp Guy Is Doing Good!~ :-)

I have watched the ramp man since he had his ramp put

on his house, well trailer. He has a friend or some man

that comes and gets him at least 3 times a week and hes

gone for quite awhile.. I figured therapy or something, I

was right! He got a prosthetic! He was a right below knee.

Hes got 2 feet now :-) Good for him.. :-)
I watched as he came down his steps and then went back

up.. There were 2 guys that came by in the blue truck, but

it parked in a different place where his wife or girl friend

parks so that's why I paid attention.. then saw all 3 of them

come back outside where I noticed he had a new foot.. He

walked really well with it too.. As new as he is to this.. He

must have just gotten it in the past few days.. He did good...

NOW.. Looky what I have FINALLY gotten a photo of.. :-)
The GOLDFINCH and the Female too ! Shes on the ground.

I first noticed the little sparrow or what ever sitting on top

the big sunflower, then Penny said "LOOK!!!! I think that's

the GOLD BIRD! " There were at least 3... :-)
1 ontop the flower and see there on the right? Isnt that beautiful?

The poor thing had to hang upside down to get the seeds,

when Penny went out to look there is a big bare spot on one,

and there were some on the top where that bird is sitting.

This is so kewl.. I KNEW they would be back. Penny cut all

the buds off and put them on the ground.. its just a matter

of wait and see.. They will come and get these seeds..Then

by the time they have eaten all of those, the other 4 over

by the hummer feeder will be ready..
See 1 down on the ground on the right, one sitting ontop the flower..

We had FROST warnings last nite.. When I woke up I

was COLD! I had to put on a long sleeve top and a light

sweater till the sun really came out.. Fall is starting too

early.. Its not going to go up past 70 or so all week.. I'm

not ready for fall yet, I'm still enjoying this nice warm

sun AND the lower gas bill.. even though my electric has

gone up but not near like I had worried it would., but

its worth every dime to stay at one temperature.. :-)
Time for lunch but I don't know what, I didn't have

Penny make anything, as I'm not really hungry. When

I know what I want I will fix something... Her kitties

are safe and well even though mama kittie has moved

them again... I cant wait to see them :-)
Posting and closing this for today, but you KNOW

this GORGEOUS WEEBLE cant sign off before I

put my 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 ....

~View of Another Backyard~

When I sit here enjoying this backyard I have

thought about when I sat out on the deck at the

farm. Donnie's and his then wife, Shirley. rented a

farm out in the country, nice place, David and I

would babysit the animals and kids when they would

go to the races, After we split up I stayed with them.

Her cousin Ralph had gotten hurt in a car accident

and recouperated there during the time I was

there off and on and in and out of hospital. Only

a few times were Ralph and I staying there at

the same time, when we did he stayed out in one

trailer and I stayed sometimes in the other or

slept on the couch.. It worked out for all of us,

Shirley took good care of Ralph and I both :-)

Ralphs insurance company paid for a ramp to be

built cuz Ralph was in a wheelchair for quite a

while.. he got hit by a car, peein on the side of

the road on his way home one night, drunk of

course, sure made him quit drinking, killed his

dog even.. he felt REALLY bad about that.. But

the ramp turned into a really nice deck and we

all enjoyed sitting on it had room enough for a

nice big picnic table and wheelchairs, I was in

one too most of the time I was there, I couldn't

trust my legs to hold me, I staggered when I

walked and looked like a drunk.. Everyone laughed

at me.. I did too.. I had no idea what was ahead..

The view in their yard was great, just beautiful,

It was way out in the country and that picture is

of the center of the circle drive that you can

see over on the left.. I was just about standing

on the other side when I took this photo of DJ.

In the back ground over across the road you can

just make out a horse standing by the fence.. That

is Dillon.. Shortly after I took that photo Shirley

bought him and he moved over to this side of the

road.. Was better for him.. Donnie sometime even

complained that Shirley treated that horse better

than she treated him.. :-)

Eventually that pool was replaced by a trampoline.
The girls , 3 remember, of course Kelli, then Shirley

has 2 daughters, Nikki and Amber. They were all

cheerleaders later on so that thing came in handy

when they practiced :-) Way in the back in the field

across the road just shortly after sunset it would

start to fill up with deer.. 15 I counted one night.. It

was fun to watch when the fawns were with their

moms and they played and had big fun.. Well what

deer wouldn't in a corn field? :-) I enjoyed watching

them. I sat many many hours on that deck... I'm glad

I didn't know what was ahead to spoil what I saw..

Because my next trip back to hospital I couldn't go

back to the farm.. I had to go to that first place,

then from there, sent up here to the HellHome...I

went back there to the farm.. but only twice more,

and the 2nd time was the last, that's when I fell

and broke my leg and the count down to being a

dak began...

I look out now and enjoy what I see immensely, like

I did at the farm, I don't think or plan very far

ahead, I would rather enjoy each day as it comes.
I do like to have a schedule if I HAVE to do some

thing, like see Rebecca or Travis, or when Penny

comes, But farther ahead than that, I don't want

to know... :-) I'm just enjoying what I have WHILE
I have it, but mostly WHILE I CAN :-)

What I can and am GOING to do the rest of this,

doesn't know whether to rain or shine, Sunday is

have some lunch and enjoy my view.. Time for my

GORGEOUS WEEBLE warning, "I shall be back !"

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

~2 Bee or Not~ :-)

There you see documentation of 2 hummers.. Is that not

kewl? I looked and looked at that photo wondering WHY

did I take it.. THEN I spotted the one up on the right...

The top right one is the female. They have been having

the best time out there with that feeder AND are VERY

protective of it..The male is moreso than the female..
They had flown off and I saw first one bee or wasp or

what ever that is, that Ive killed 4 of inside here, land

on their feeder. Almost instantly the male is there, he

hovers for a bit, circles, and then zooms in at the bees

till they leave! Bees don't give up that easily :-)
Penny must have mixed up a good batch this time cuz

this battle of the 2 bees and the 2 hummers went on

for quite a long time.. It really was fun to watch them.

She changes the water sometimes twice a week , it

depends how many bugs crawl up inside it and end up

floating inside that feeder. I sure have enjoyed it,

was worth every penny of the 6.98 I paid for it.. Just

like my cheapie birdbath.. Worth a million.. :-)
I have been looking at these sunflowers and they are

SO heavy and bent over that there is just no way any

of the birds could get to those seeds.. I saw the gold

finch yesterday again too.. but I'm just so not used to

Pennys camera it takes me longer to get it ready to

take pictures :-) But what I had thought of doing was

to get another birdbath. for up here by the sunflowers

and as they get ready cut them off and lay them in the

empty birdbath ! THAT would work! Ive got 3 or 4 more

sunflowers over by the hum feeder too.. so the birds

will hopefully have some nice fresh seeds AND THEN

maybe I can get a picture of that gold finch :-) See?
Plan of ATTACK :-)
Look at that tail.. isnt that just great?

Today it just does NOT know what it wants to do.. One

minute the sun is shining bright, the next its so dark

the yard light almost comes on.. Its been so cool this

week it feels like fall when I sit in the doorway, you

can almost feel it in the air, Ive even seen leaves out

there already.. This big maple here on the west side

will be so pretty again.. It was last year.


It soon will be a year that I moved into this place.. The

time has gone so fast.. Maybe cuz it really HAS been

a very stressful one.. Seems there was just one thing

after the other.. This year is almost over and I just

hope nothing else gets thrown at me and I can coast

on to next year with out any additional problems.. The

TV and things I need are NOT stressful. be nice to

have but in time I will get them replaced...Its the big

stuff like the rent issues... I DONT want to carry that

over to next year...

Well what I need to carry NOW is some lunch over to

the table and EAT :-) Penny made some great sandwich

spread and on that good pumpernickle bread, Its gonna

be good.. I had a hard time deciding what I wanted for

supper last nite, that or the leftover meatloaf.. Guess

what won? The meatloaf of course. I ate that with some

soda crackers and watched Cash Cab.. That guy that

drives the cab is the same one that narrates my other

favorite show, Deadliest Catch.. So I had good company

with my supper last nite.. That means its time for my

GORGEOUS WEEBLE warning, "I shall return!" :-)

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

~Animals ARE People Too ! ~ :-)

The birds are back, in fact there were 8 doves out

side this morning.. I have never seen that many at one

time out there.. Even Penny said she was getting a bit

worried cuz she hasnt seen any birds either ! So we

both were VERY happy to see them out there again..

Penny brought pictures of her babies.. They are so cute.

She said Mom has moved them again to hide them.

Cats will do that which is dangerous for the babies to

be carried by the neck. People do that to cats, pick them

up by the back of the neck, pulling up their skin.. That

DOES hurt them.. I get VERY upset when I see one picked

up by the neck by a person.

When Dutch was a baby, not very old, Stanley and my sis

were here. Dutch was and is still a playful boy. Stan was

playing with him and all of a sudden he reached down and

picked Dutch up by his tail! I almost lost it I got so mad.
I grabbed that cat and carried him and shooed LB into

my bedroom and closed the door.. The whole time I could

hear my sis reprimanding Stanley for picking up my cat

like that..

When I got back out to the living room I rolled right up

into Stanleys face and LOUDLY told him NEVER to touch

my cats again.. I never picked up HIS kids by their tails!
Then DONT pick up mine that way.. I informed him that

I will protect HIM from getting hurt by locking my boys

up every time he comes to visit because if he does a

stupid thing like that again I would HAVE no choice but

to hurt him.. and I surely would.. He said he picked up

their cat that way too.. They were keeping their grand

daughters cat Midnight for a while.. No wonder that

cat ran from him.. You don't do animals like that..


I watch the animal planet just about every day and they

WILL arrest someone for animal abuse now, which I

think is such a good thing.. So many just abuse their

animals and if you have to do that I don't understand

why they have a dog or cat or bird.. Birds? I love birds,

but OUTSIDE, NOT in a cage.. I just don't like them

inside a house.. :-) I tried.. I had a parakeet that drove

me insane.. it liked me.. but when any one else was there

it would squawk and squeek and so all sorts of stuff,fly

around the cage.. was awful, I gave him away.. :-)

We are due for nothing but rain and I sure can tell it.. I

was up most of the night last night.. Things are happening

that involve some work and more or less taking care of

business and I am on a deadline so to speak to get things

ready .. by the 10th as a matter of fact.. I need to have

a place for everything and everything in its place.. Its a

MOST important date.. :-) Its not really stressful, but

if you know me, it has to have a very careful 'Plan of

Attack'. With Pennys help the stress level wont go too

high.. But I will admit, this GORGEOUS WEEBLE is

most anxious for this to come about.. :-) I will tell you

in a while what it is.. :-) AFTER it happens :-)

Time to post and get some more done before Penny

goes home to her babies.. She has a black one with

a white place on its face just like Dutch.. I might get

that one.. Although the white baby is a Cutie too :-)

When she knows what they are THEN I will decide

IF I want one, Its hard to go thru neutering I hate

that part of it.. But it HAS to be done.

Now, I am done for today, this GORGEOUS WEEBLE

is ready for lunch.. Ham salad today.. :-) on pumper

nickle bread with Swiss cheese :-) Kitchen here I

come but "I shall return!"...

Y'all have a good one now, Y'hear? Luv ya and thanks!

~Havent Seen The Birds!~

That hurricane sure came onshore! We are due to get rain

for the next 4 days.. Talk about DAMP! I have been so

worried the past few days as there has NOT been any

birds outside but the hummers.. I was beginning to wonder

what was wrong, specially when it had been so busy out

there. The past few days Ive not seen any of those little

guys.. The doves hardly have been by either. Kinda makes

me wonder where the birds went.. and mostly WHY !!!
Got to be a reason.. Did you see that movie, old Alfred

Hitchcock movie, 'The Birds'? good one.. Except here

they are gone not swarming like in that movie.. Tippi

Hedron was in it I think.. Trivia.. :-)


I like to watch shows like jeopardy and even that new

one now called CASH CAB... Fun to watch these people

answer the questions AND to see if I know the answers.

This cab drives around New York City and picks up fares,

then he asks them questions for money.. They get to where

they wanna go and answer all the questions they win! I like

it. Lots of the questions I CAN answer which I really didn't

KNOW I could! :-)


When I was with David, he and our brother in law, John

would play the video game of basketball.. after each game

they asked a trivia question.. with multiple choice answers.

I would look at the list of them and yell out my A, B, or C.

David and John each picked theirs.. 95% of the time I was

right, very few did I miss. I don't know anything about

baseball but I knew.. I think... its because when I worked,

at sewing jobs I wore a headset, listening to the radio,

like I do now when I sew.

When you get busy or involved in something you don't pay

attention to what your hearing BUT you are STILL hearing

it and it goes back into the recesses of your brain.. yet,

YOU don't realize it has.. not till you get asked something

about it. then its "hmmm, how did I KNOW that answer?"

True ! That's what I contribute it all to, and plus :-)

I retain information.. like a photographic memory for facts

I think.. I think they have proven this though.. that we

retain things we hear and don't realize we do...

Penny made meatloaf yesterday before she left, and it is

SO GOOD ! I bet I ate half of it yesterday.. Shes a very

good cook.. I desperately need some new pots and pans..

Mine are ones my sis got for me 7 years ago when I moved

into the apartment, and with all the moving they show the

lots of use and the wear and tear of moving... I need a new

set.. My list of needs just grows and grows. If I had to

choose, which I need more a TV or pots and pans.. hmmm..

close call.. I will say TV :-) I hate not being able to HEAR

the TV, and the sound on mine is well I hear every 4th or

5th word. not good..:-) So TV first, then pots and pans, then

camera , then.....

THEN its time for this GORGEOUS WEEBLE to say "I shall

return! " I'm hungry! :-)

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

~Look For The Good~ :-)

I slept better last night, I'm so glad, I don't feel as

tired today. Its a sort of dull rainy day and kinda

gloomy but this sort of day makes everything look so

green, and shiney wet.. It really is pretty.. There is

something good to enjoy no matter what you look at

if you look at the right side of it.. When I look at

something I see differently than you would or some

one else.. So many LOOK for the bad, they don't see

the good that is there waiting to be seen...but its
there ! :-)

Many times Ive gone into houses or apartments that

were so bad.. but when I looked at them I see what

they CAN and COULD be.. I try to do that with every

thing, even people.. Lots of people hide their good

qualities rather than show them, not wanting anyone

to know there IS more to them... I like seeing what

is POSSIBLE.. what can be done to improve, maybe

is the wrong word, so lets say help make it what

it COULD be, the potential I see.

When I am in sewing mode, I can pick up a piece of

folded material.. look at it. and I can see it as a skirt,

or a top.. even a quilt... I see what that fabric can be

made into with a little help from not just me, but the

thread and pins or pattern, what ever it might take

to show it CAN be made into something worthwhile..

I think that's why I like to sew so much... :-) Looking

for the good is so much better than looking for the

bad, in no matter what it is..

I am glad you enjoyed my Brother Andy story yesterday.

In my book he was a marvelous man, one I looked up to,

many did, he has led many people to the Lord, We had

a chicken dinner one Sunday after church, Brother Andy

gave the blessing of the food.. at the end of his prayer,

he reached down and took a chicken wing off his plate,

held it up... and said "Lord, I am SO grateful that you

made chickens with wings, Amen".. We all smiled and most

of the people there agreed.. :-)

Rebecca came today, bearing gifts, some wonderful

mirrors for my wall and some stove covers for the

burners on my stove.. She is such a sweetie.. We did

talk about my grant.. she has emphatically told me

"Lois, Do NOT worry" So I am taking her at her word.

Penny is making us a meatloaf for lunch which I LOVE!

with a nice baked potato and some brussel sprouts,

that they have on sale, be some good eating.. wanna

come join me? :-)

Time to post and help Penny with lunch. Rebecca asked

me to adopt a baby calico kitten that is in desperate

need of some TLC.. and a home.. I told Penny I would

consider one of her babies, but if this little Callie is

in need, how can you turn your back to help a kittie?

Only thing is Callie is a un neutered female.. that will

NOT work with me having 2 males..even though they

are neutered.. they still diddle.. ask their stuffed

girl friends. :-) Be nice to have a baby kittie tho.. :-)

Done for today, which means time for my GORGEOUS
WEEBLE "I shall return" :-)

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

~A Church In Texas~ :-)

I had to take a photo of the dragon fly..pretty isnt it? :-)

When I lived in Pasadena, Texas, I belonged, well WE,

Willie and I, joined a little Baptist church called Park

Temple Baptist Church and Brother Andy Kyte was the

pastor, Brother CB Tiner was the associate pastor. It

was a very small church and that's why we chose it.

It was more like joining a family that cared about you.

You walked in there a stranger, but there was no way

the members let you leave that way. You felt welcome

and just enjoyed the fellowship and especially Brother

Andys sermons.. They could bring a grown man to tears

and I am witness to that, because he did ALL of us, his

sermons were so touching..
Brother Andy was a very big man and had the loveliest

wife who sadly we all watched and supported him as

she slowly died from cancer. We all shed tear for tear

with him as he wept openly. Brother Andy was a very

devout man, a true believer and had a true calling to

be a pastor. We all loved him dearly and we all looked

forward to going to church, which is how it should be.

Not going because you want to show the world that you

do.. One of my favorite sayings is, 'because you are

going to church doesn't make you a Christian any more

than being in a garage doesn't make you a car!'..
One Sunday before Sunday school we all saw Brother

Andy arrive, go into the trunk of his car and he dug out

this old dusty tire. He put it on the ground and rolled

it into the church.. We all looked at each other wondering

WHAT in the world was he doing? Brother Andy put

that dusty dirty tire right up in front of his pulpit in full

view, you couldn't help but see it.. He did NOT say one

word about it, just a "good morning, lovely day to be

alive isnt it" was his greeting to us.. We had NO choice

but to wait until it was time for the sermon, which that

day seemed to take forever! I just could NOT figure

out what his sermon could possibly be about that old

dusty dirty tire ? Everyone was eager... You could almost

hear a sigh as Brother Andy started his sermon with

"I KNOW y'all are wonderin' just what this here tire

could possibly do with this days sermon, so .. look at it..

its a SPARE TIRE.. Only taken out of the trunk when

you NEED it.. that's how some treat religion isnt it?"

We all smiled and knew it was going to be a moving talk,

I know I was eager to hear it.. I think we all were.. He

continued......

"When you are in a bad spot, what do you say? Oh GOD...

or GOD help me.. but you WAIT till YOU NEED it.. not

use it EVERY day.. so I call it Spare Tire Religion." He

went on for about an hour.. but that was one of the BEST

sermons I think I have ever heard.. and doesn't that just

about describe it? So many do that when now days with

such things going on about taking God out of so many

political things and school things, its awful.. I wont do it.

and I REFUSE to reword my pledge of allegiance.. I use

my religion every day, I thank God for being allowed to

have every day, good or bad. When I sit and look out my

back door I thank God I can see and hear and enjoy it

all.. I may not go to church, but I believe and I for one,

don't have spare tire religion :-)

Penny has given me an update, as she is here today, the

baby kitties are just as cute as can be, and they are all

safe and growing, the mom is turning out to be a good

one which Penny is so glad.. 3 white ones, 2 black and

white and 1 solid black.. shes not handled them to say

boys or girls.. I am very seriously considering getting

one.. I get a try out first, I would be so upset if I

took one and one of my boys was mean to it, which I

don't think they would but.. well LB is 7 this month

and Dutch is 6. They arent babies, spoiled like one,

but big boys :-)

Well we have lots to do as I am hoping to have company

in possibly 2 weeks.. lots I want to get done.. When the

plans are more definite I will give you details.. But until

its written in stone I don't want to jinx anything, this is

a MOST important visit that I have waited a LONG LONG

time for.. I will keep you updated..

Lunch time, post time and my GORGEOUS WEEBLE
warning.. "I shall return!" :-)


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

~Penny Switched~

Chippie

Switched days for Penny. She phoned about 8:45 and

asked to come tomorrow instead of today. I guess there

is a lot of changes going on at her boarding house. I

guess she will take over the running of it and not her

sisters friend. Be a lot of responsibility for her and I

did ask would it interfere with her helping me and she

has assured me that will NOT change. THAT would be

all I would need is to lose Penny and have to find some

one new.. THAT would NOT be good..She and I are so

used to each other PLUS she puts up with my little,,

what, quirks, idiosyncrasies? or how ever you spell it.

She knows me. I hope it works out ok for her. Shes

a good person and deserves a break, she steady tries

and that says a lot. With all the drama she has going

on with her kids and grands and now her job, well I

don't have it bad at all.. I would NOT trade places..

But she deserves better. I should play the lottery

more and then maybe I could buy that retreat I have

been wanting for the past 6 years, that is STILL for

sale.

I checked the other day just out of curiosity more or

less to see if it had sold.. Nope.. in fact they split the

15 acres and the houses into 3 different offers, which

to get it all NOW would be ALOT of money compared

to what they wanted years ago for ALL of it... 2 big

houses, 5 cabins, huge recreation hall AND its ALL on

a lake, and 15 acres, before.. its split now. Ive watched

this place. Theyre calling it a retreat.. Id LOVE to have

it., I think has LOTs of possibilities, sure would mean

work, but very worth it.. and whats so REALLY great

is that it is ALL wheelchair accessible, except the one

2 story house.. :-) Ive seen lots of photos of it... I
NEED to win the lottery... :-)


I did see a show on TV about that, people that have

won millions and say its the worst thing that had happened

to them.. Well they went nutz bought a lotta stuff and did

NOT do it by the rules.. You have to do it right and PLAN.

SAVE most of it.. Then there is NO more worries.. There

were quite a few on that show I was surprised.. BUt I have

heard this a lot.. I think I would like a chance to see what

I would do though :-) I'm willing to take that chance :-)

Was a very quiet day yesterday and I HAD to take a nap. I

was looking at TV and I fell asleep in my chair shortly after

I posted.. I woke up and decided to get onto my bed and

watch TV.. That was the last thing I remember till I opened

my eyes again at 2:30.. I think I was a tad tired.. I had a

phone call that woke me up.. I hung up the phone and sat

there for a few deciding to get back into my chair and go

find something to eat.. I looked at my chair, sat for a little

longer, then just laid back on my pillows and decided I was

more tired than hungry and when I woke up later and I

HAD to get into my chair THEN I would make a sandwich

or something.. not do an extra trip.. Lazy hey? NO.. My

arms have just been really achey lately and the less I use

them the less they ache... Today is proving to be the

same kinda day..

So, I'm gonna post this and just finishing doing nothing!
:-) Hell aint it? I wish y'all could say that too, in a way,

but then its really good to have a purpose, I filled mine

for today by posting this. so. This GORGEOUS WEEBLES

job for today is done.. :-) Well it is AFTER my warning of

"I'll be back!" :-)

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

~Sayings or Superstitions~ :-)

I had to take a pic of this lazyboy.. LB..cute hey? He has no shame :-)

There's a saying, or maybe its what some would

call a superstition, that goes, if your right hand

itches it means you are going to pay out money.

If the left itches it means your going to GET

money.. My left hand is itchy.... I wonder should

I play the lottery :-) Lots of people believe in

these sort of things, When I was a kid and was

walking down the sidewalk, the saying was "step

on a crack and break your mother's back". Even

the 'don't walk under a ladder'.. All sayings that

have meaning.... When I visited Hawaii, they have

lots of these beliefs or superstitions as some

call them. But if this itchy hand one is true.. I'm

so VERY glad its my left that's itchy and NOT

the pay out hand :-)
I watched the house across the field from my front

door and saw the lady and one of the kids well boys,

Ive not seen any girls.. I THINK they have 3 sons,

2 look school age and one looks older. They have the

2 black labs, the young one Jesse, and they have 2

cats.. one the color of mine and a black and white

one. :-) Arent binoculars wonderful? :-) Well anyway,
I saw the mom and boy drag the picnic table over

by the garden.. I watched when the man tilled up all

that ground and saw them plant that garden. Its been

fun watching it grow.. They will have a nice harvest.

They spent a long time picking all their tomatoes..And

LOTS more to ripen.. Tons of green ones :-) I wonder

does she can them.. They are the VERY best..
I used to years ago put up lots of jars of tomatoes, I

used a lot of them. I canned everything and anything

I thought would be good.. I havent now in a long time.

My niece Beverly still does I think, she likes to do that

stuff too.. My sister used to do a lot of canning but

she cant do it either anymore, Bev the wonderful

daughter she is, shares with her mom...I KNOW my

sis is MOST grateful..:-)

I need to look up on line about these sunflowers and

the seeds from them.. I don't know if I should have

Penny cut them and put them on the ground for the

birds or what.. I'm sure I can find out.. Ive never had

these kind of sunflowers, only the real tall ones that

get those monster heads on them packed with seeds.
The ones next to my dads garage were massive and

I don't recall them cutting the flower heads off, I

know he tied them up because they got so heavy, I

think mine could use that too :-)

I woke up about 4 times last night and with a VERY

bad stomach.. 2 days in a row now I have gotten up

and not done too well.. Almost wasn't worth getting

UP ! Well I had NO choice this morning..:-) I REALLY

didn't :-) But I think this drab weather the past few

days and the rain, yesterday honestly felt like a fall

day, was so cool and I saw leaves flying around the

yard.. This year has gone so fast.. Soon I will have

lived here a year. When you think ahead to NEXT

year, look how fast the year has gone by.. Almost

September, the kids are already back to school

here...

I'm gonna relax the rest of the day and watch TV,

I hope I can HEAR it.. Its not doing good at all..I

wish I could read lips better :-) Time for this

GORGEOUS WEEBLE to do NOTHING but warn

ya "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...

~More CHARTER CABLE Crap~ :-(

Well... my satday started off with a huge bang!.. I turned my puter on, and no Internet.. I picked up my phone, I had telephone and TV.. Didn't make sense.. So I of course made the HORRIBLE mistake to CALL CHARTER.. Boy, trust me, that is NOT the best way to start off your day, dealing with some of the idiots they have working for them.. I had hoped my problems with them were ALL solved, but I guess not.. I talked to at least 5 different people and was on the phone for an hour describing the problem.. First lady I talked to told me a bold faced LIE right into my ear.. Her name was Crystal. She doesn't deserve her job for lying.. She said "I cannot help you unless you read the info on the bottom of your modem." THAT was a lie.. She could have reset everything her self and chose NOT to. I repeatedly asked to talk to a supervisor, she absolutely refused to connect me to one.. I hung up on her and called back and after about 2 people I got hold of a guy named James.... I think he may be one Ive talked to before about the lousy service I get from CHARTER CABLE.. I hope someone from there reads this... I do NOT recommend this company to any one, In fact if you can get another, do it.. This one has employees that I think they make themselves... like robots. Well after OVER an hour going thru EVERYTHING a dozen times, I got Internet back... I still have NO idea what is wrong.. It happened a 2nd time AFTER I logged on to MSN too.. I don't like MSN at all.. VERY invasive. but it shut me right off the net again. Whether MSN did it or not I don't know.. But what I did was unplug my modem box and wait 30 seconds and plugged it back in.. IT WORKED! I did NOT have to call CHARTER again.. I am SO GLAD.. I just cannot deal with them.. Sorry company in my book, PLUS, because of my deep voice they ALL say "SIR". EVEN after I tell them "I AM WOMAN!!" they cant even do that! I get upset when I have to keep telling someone that I am a woman because of my deep voice.. The first time I am very nice about it.. and even laff, but when they keep on.. every few words say "sir". I do get pissy, that shows they are NOT listening to me.. that's VERY rude. and it pisses me off badly.. Some I have REALLY told off about it.. Well its rude, if you arent sure don't say Sir or M'am... Down south that would get you a huge slap... You make SURE you are calling a person by their right gender especially if they have made a point to tell you what they are... CHARTER is awful for this.. That lady Crystal was a real pip.. I would fire her on the spot.. She made me so mad I hung up on her, I didn't get a chance to tell her I recorded the call .. SO . I HOPE Charter DOES investigate this woman. She ought NOT to lie... no one should.. and I for one, am NOT the person to lie to.. I catch it.. and YOU will KNOW.. trust me.. I try VERY very hard NOT lie about anything... sometimes you have to tell a fib yes. but a deliberate hurtful lie.. Do NOT tell it to me.. Trust me on this.. :-) I made my hash.. It was SO good I cant even describe it.. I bet after EVERY mouthful I said "MMM MMM MMM" I couldn't help it. Penny ground up that roast and I got my electric frying pan.. fried some onion, all diced, and then I cut up the potatoes from the roast.. cooked that for a while.. then I added my ground beef with the juices it cooked in .. The smell? I could hardly wait to eat it.. It was GOOD GOOD GOOD.. and I made enough for to day too :-) Wish y'all could taste it.. That's where I am headed to have my leftover hash :-) I am staying off this puter today so I DONT have to notice if I am on line or not.. I honestly am so disgusted with this company.. and the bad thing is, don't do any good to complain cuz they don't care ! As long as the monthly bill is paid.. don't pay that and THEY call YOU! Have trouble its FIND someone SMART enough to help.. So, this SMART GORGEOUS WEEBLE is posting this, and gonna go enjoy her back yard.. No one messes with me out there :-) Hope your SatDay is a goodie.. 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..
