~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 ****

"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...
