~I AM Better, Almost~

I got up for a while and even kept down a cup

of coffee. Ive not eaten anything since Thursday,

and I am hungry but as fast as I put it in my mouth,

well, its right back OUT! And there is NOTHING

worse than puking.. That's such a ugly word, but

it sure fits how you feel at the time...

Anyway I am up for a while, but not long, then I

have no choice but to lay down, but if I try to

eat more I'm sure I will get my strength back.

THEN hopefully I will sleep better, longer than

an hour at a time... I HATE being sick.. :-(

I will still say GORGEOUS WEEBLE even though

I honestly don't feel very gorgeous.. :-) But I

shall return!...

Always, Lois ****

"God Bless You is my prayer today,

I'm honored to call you friend..

I pray the Lord will keep you safe,

~Still Not Well~

I got up for a little while today to try to eat or drink
something since I havent eaten or drank since thursday.
The hardest part of this is being so weak and having to
drag my self in and out of this chair.

I am far from my self but I am getting there, just very
slow. Keep me in your prayers and I shall return!!
Id say from this GORGEOUS WEEBLE, but I aint the
purtiest flower in the garden right now ;-)

Always,
Lois ****

~Still Sick~

I am still sick... I have been very nauseated and having some
severe chest pain.. Today I am a little better, all I have been
doing since thursday is stay in bed.. Keep me in your prayers
so that this passes and pray it is NOT my heart.. I Shall
return ~!~ :-)
Love N'Hugs,
Lois

~Im Sick Today~

~Happy Thanksgiving~ :-)

A Rainy holiday, enough to really dampen a day... I

spent most of this morning, well up to writing this,

doing absolutely nothing... just sat and wondered

why the birds or squirrels werent out and if it was

really gonna snow.. The sky does look heavy and if

the temperature drops it just might. And I am my

usual self.. achey and with a sore hip... I think I

slept most of the night sitting up with the pillows

in front of me... I breathe better .... I think I have

that sleep apnea.. I know David woke me a few

times telling me to "BREATHE!".. He said I would

hold my breathe a long time.. I didn't know it :-)

I know I have woken myself up cuz I snored! NOW!
THATS being honest !! How many women will admit

they snore.. I used to say I 'breathe heavily' when

all in all I SNORED! :-)

HOW did I get on MY snoring? :-) That's NOT a

great subject, but I honestly cant think of anything

to write about... Holidays are really a hard time of

year for me... I had hoped this year would be better,

but I don't think it will be any different than any

other holiday season.. I did get lots of email which

I was most grateful.. The past few months I have

not kept in touch like I should have and I am so glad

to know I was missed :-)

Ive not made a holiday dinner, I may treat myself

to my very best favorite food though.. 3 guesses

what..... My fries and gravy, been a while since I

have made them so this is a good time.. Penny

wont be here until 10 tomorrow I told her to come

in a hour later, she is having a big day today, lots

of cooking and lots of company, besides the 6 that

live there ! :-) I think her sister and daughter are

gonna be there too ! So I told her to sleep in a

bit.. I couldn't give her the day off, its just too

long a stretch till Monday with out her...

Its kinda early, but I wanna watch the parade and I

need some lunch, I will fix my fries later on.. SO,

that means post time and for my GORGEOUS
WEEBLE Warning, "I Shall Return!" .. Happy

Thanksgiving.... :-)

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

"God Bless You" is my prayer today,

~Squirrel's Back

Penny came today and had to go to the store.. She said

it was full of people.. Its a busy place and that's probly

cuz its the closest one for 15 miles.. :-) I had commented

to Penny that I hadnt seen any squirrels and that the corn

hadnt been touched.. While we were talking, as if it knew,

one ran up that post and stayed for a long time.. I noticed

there was one over by Joyce's too.. They must know that

snow is predicted by tonite.. Not any big amount though..

But then again... the best way to tell the weather is by

looking out the window.. around here anyway! The old

wives tale is that if you see the squirrels really busy

it means a hard winter, that they are busy gathering

nuts for the hard winter that somehow they know is

ahead...

It is a dark and dismal day, in fact the yard light was

still on at 10 am!.. That's dark.. Its not really been

rainy YET.. I know I can feel this weather change...
My hip is still giving me fits and I have tried every

thing I can think of to ease it up and nothing seems

to work.. I guess what ever it is just has to work its

own way out! I wish it would hurry though! :-) I'm

already tired of having a achey butt... not good when

you have to sit as long as I do...

Other wise there wasn't a whole lot going on today,

but then its only noon and the way I am things can

change in a blink of a eye... I hope it stays quiet..

I like quiet times and I like the busy times too as

long as its not a Frantic busy :-) I might dig out

one of my movies and watch it for a while. I have

no idea what I am having for lunch.. Just not real

hungry today, which for me is surprising.. I do

have to eat something tho so I can take my pill..

SO.... that means its time for this GORGEOUS
WEEBLE to post this and get some lunch or

something.. I havent forgotten my "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...

~Travis Visit~

Travis came today and stayed for his usual 2 hours.

We don't do anything much, other than to discuss

whats going on or what has happened.. He more or

less just listens then offers his opinion on whatever

we happen to be discussing.. Hes not very old, I

would guess hes in his late 20's.. Hes married, but

no children, he does have a dog he said, a bassett

hound I think.. He likes the boys and LB really likes

him.. He wont leave Travis alone and tries to get

in his lap or crawl in his briefcase.. He usually

comes every other week... Ive been waiting to hear

from Rebecca, this is her week to visit as well..

She will call sometime today I'm sure.. With the

holiday this week she may not come till next week.

I don't have any plans for Thursday, its just another

day, for me, every day is a thanksgiving day... not

just one day of the year... I get to complaining and

having a pity party for my self and It never fails but

I turn on a program where someone has it worse

than I do...That makes me take stock of my self. I

guess there is really nothing I could do before

that I cant do now... just have to figure out a new

way to do it... The things I cant do now, a lot are

due to other health problems, not just being a

GORGEOUS WEEBLE :-) I wont bore you with

THAT list... but I do have some other serious

health problems and they limit me more than

just being short ! :-)

I did cut out some aprons but silly me forgot

to give one to Penny to take home to measure

on her granddaughter.. She can take it tomorrow.

She is cooking a big dinner for all the residents

of her house and her sister and son and their

familys are going there too.. Penny will have a

very busy day on Thursday... I might tell her to

come in later Friday.. I cant give her the day off

as its just too many days going by if I wait till

Monday to have her come by... I will talk to her

and see what she thinks...9 is very early when

you had a busy day before.... :-)

I am going to try to do some sewing for Christmas.

I want to make some pajamas for Alex. Hes 18

months now, I don't know where the time has gone.

He is so smart, Donnie has the best time with him.

From what I gather they all will be going to Racine

for Thanksgiving.. They have a lot to be thankful

for.. Barb, Donnies mom was diagnosed with stage

3 cancer.. She went and did the radiation agenda

and she has been pronounced CANCER FREE... We

are all so glad for her...

I need to post this and try to get some more sewing

done. I have a little energy today so I need to take

advantage of it.. My hip is still. aching something

awful but if I stay moving it seems to ease it up..

It sure is giving me a pain in the butt though! In

more ways than ONE ! So, this GORGEOUS
WEEBLE needs to close this and get on with the

rest of this day... First...I gotta tell ya.. " I SHALL

Return!"

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

~Sore Hip~

My right hip is giving me fits. It hurts so bad I

can hardly stand it.. It doesn't matter which way

I sit or lay, it hurts.. I wish I could stand, that

would take some of the pressure off of it. Or

even a pool I think would work.. Something has

got to, just to give me some relief.. I had thought

maybe it might be time for me to get a new cushion

but this one seems still firm. I just have NO idea

what could be causing this pain... It can stop any

time it wants to.. I bet I was more awake last night

than asleep.. I hate when I have a restless night...

Today, after not sleeping very well and this hip

still hurting Ive not felt worth a crap and I have

NO energy to do anything.. I'm tired from no

sleep but this hip as of now, its almost noon, it

has NOT stopped aching... I don't keep any

kind of pain pills here, I do have my aspirin I

take 1 a day, I don't think it would do much to

help this hip pain... I think what might help is

to get out of this chair and that's what I'm

gonna do after I have lunch and take my pill.

Maybe I am staying in this chair too long..


After I close down this computer I go into

my bedroom and watch TV in there.. But I

stay in my chair until about 7 or so or unless

I start to doze off then I get onto my bed..

I know once I get on the bed I wont be able

to watch a lot because I KNOW I will fall

asleep.. Theres a button on my clicker and I

hit that and I'm out for a few hours at least.

I have woken up at 2 or 3 and had to shut

my TV off, but I do hate when I do that, I

started to shut if off after the first doze

off :-) NOW ! :-) But that could be the cause

of this hip.. I am in this chair too long.. Worth

a try if I can get this to stop...

Its a pretty nice day, up in the 50's BUT the

weatherman says SNOW possibly by Wednesday.

If it has to snow I hope its not much since the

kids will be travelling that day... Seems to always

snow on the holidays.. :-) Time for lunch and to

post this.. This GORGEOUS WEEBLE needs to

get OFF her GORGEOUS BUTT :-) BUT... "I
SHall Return!" :-)


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

~Hunting Season~

You can tell when its hunting season.. You hear of more

cars running into deer this time of year more than any.

The hunters in the woods are of course scaring them.

Ive seen 2 does run through my yard already. Which a

buck is the most desired of all the hunters.. Although,

Some counties do have a doe season just to keep the

herds down, they do that up north I know in the UP..

David was more likely to get a doe than a buck , but

he got his share..

I can remember when I was about 10 or so when my 2

cousins would come up to the UP from Grand Rapids to

hunt with my Dad. That was a fun time.. Usually they

brought a couple friends as well and they would rent

rooms out at Ice Lake. They all would hunt all day then

come back in the evening, hunting hours are sunup to

sundown and you have to be out of the woods.

My Grandmother would come and help my mom fix a nice

big supper for them and they all would sit around later

telling stories of what happened in the woods that day.

They had LOTS of stories, I wish I could remember

them all... What I remember best was when my older

cousin brought his son.. he was about my age and we had

some fun together.. He didn't hunt every time and we

would walk down to Iron River and look around.. That's

when it had stores ! Not too many stores left up there

now...

My right hip and leg bone are aching really bad and I

have NO idea why.. I have tried sitting lopsided to take

the weight off and I have tried laying differently but

nothing seems to stop it.. Its been acting up for about

a week now... It will start to throb at my hip then I can

feel the achey as it moves down the bone.. The bone

in my right is a lot shorter than the left..They only

left about eight inches if that.. Its hard to measure...

Don't matter how long it is.. the stinkin thing HURTS!

Plus I have a stomach ache, its really hunger pangs :-)
I made my cabbage and brats n' potatoes yesterday

and I have to say it was EXCELLENT.. I made enough

so I would have enough for today, plus this stuff always

tastes better the 2nd day.. So after I post this I am

gonna have some lunch then take my pill and THEN see

if the Packers are playing today.. They won last Sunday!
Farve is such a traitor, the Packers are still a good team.

Ask anyone in Green Bay, gotta be a PackerBacker to

live there :-)

Post time, food time, then game time.. This GORGEOUS
WEEBLE is ready to enjoy this beautiful SUNNY day. I

Cant forget my "I SHALL Return!" tho :-)

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

"God Bless You" is my prayer today,

Until I write again....

~Sun Is Back~ :-)

We finally have sunshine and the birds are back!.. We

all sat and enjoyed the sun this morning, the boys laid

on the table and got all warm from the sunshine... The

birds were back in force.. I counted three as in 3,

BlueJays and of course the woodpecker. Those little

brown guys I don't know what they are, chickadees

I think.. d will know :-) The little brown ones are very

skittish the slightest thing will scare them off but

they come right back.. They fly in bunches, very seldom

do you see one by itself.. Ive not seen the ones at the

sunflowers but maybe there are no seeds left on it, I

didn't have Penny check... I may just get some sunflower

seeds to put out.. I enjoy watching all the variety of

birds...I like taking pictures of them too :-) you didn't

know that did ya? Couldn't tell by coming here hey?
I plan to make my fried cabbage, brats and potatoes

today.. In fact as soon as I finish writing and posting

this I'm gonna go and do all the prep.. Lots of cutting,

potatoes, onion, cabbage.. I don't plan to start to fry

it for a while.. Well it will probly take me a while to

cut all that up as weak as my hands are! :-) I don't care

how long it takes as long as it gets done :-) I can wait,

cuz I KNOW its gonna be good... :-)

I watched a program on the travel channel last night

that made me envious of the people on it.. It was

about men and women that lived in trailers, or RV's

and travelled. They showed some of the very costly

RV parks and some that were just spots on the side

of the road.. One of the parks was in a nature preserve

for wild animals, and they got to drive their RV right

through it.. Had to keep their windows closed and not

bring any pets of course.. Some of the trailers were

the famous Air Stream, which are said to be one of

the best made.. I think travelling and seeing our

country would be a wonderful way to go.. I would, if

I EVER won the lottery, I would get a bus and have

it converted just for me... Donnie has seen one. A

man had Monaco Coach build one just specially for

his wife that was in a wheel chair.. He said every

thing in it was designed for her to reach.. I could

handle that... :-)

I want to cut out some of the aprons but decided

to just do one and have Penny take it home to see

how it worked for her Grand.. Shes 9... Ive not

made a little girls apron and I have no little model

here :-) So I will give it to Penny on Monday to

have her grand try it.. Then I can go from there...

Where this GORGEOUS WEEBLE is going now is

to do all the prep for my dinner today... So that

makes it POST TIME!!!.. and for 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....

~Dampy Rain~

Penny came today and we are all set for the week

end.. Its a rainy day again today and I have to say

I am so ready for it to dry up out there, THEN may

be I might stop aching... my stumps havent stopped

throbbing for days. My right one has gotten to ache

more than it has in a long time.. I don't know if I

need to find a different sleeping position or what.

Nothing seems to work and this rainy dampness

doesn't help at all.

I really worked at clearing off my sewing table,

well really my dining table. It was my mothers, but

you would never guess its as old as it is... I sat and

had many wonderful dinners at this table. Its going

to be thanksgiving next week and I can remember

some of the great food that was put on it... The

holidays were always something very special.. The

family really spent a lot of time together from

Thanksgiving to New Years, going from one relatives

house to the other. The food? some of the best

in Iron County...all my aunts were great cooks and

each had a specialty dish or desert that was better

than anyone elses.. My Aunt Gladys was blueberry

pie.. My moms was EVERYTHING she made.. It was

all good.. :-)

I don't have any plans for the holiday. I talked to

the boy last night and he is off on Friday too so

he plans to possibly go to Racine and spend it with

his mom and dad. Plus he has a lady friend there

too :-) Kelli, I havent asked her what her plans are.

Jorge's family is here so they may not go and go

at Christmas.. Hard when you have family spread

out in different states... I will be here with my

boys as usual...

I sent Penny to the store to get some brats and

cabbage.. I don't need to tell you what I am going

to cook today do I? Put some potatoes and onion

in with it.. its good stuff.. I try to make enough

for 2 days as everything is tastier the next day.

I fry it all.. in stages of course since the stuff

all cooks at different stages.. Usually potatoes

and onion first, about halfway done I add the

brats. Just before the brats and all are done I

add the sliced up cabbage.. That takes the least

amount of time to cook... Some times I take the

potatoes and that out of the pan, then fry the

cabbage, then put all the other stuff back and

let that all simmer together for a little while

so the flavor of everything goes all through

it.. Its really good.. :-)


Its post time and time to cook as Penny is back..

So its time for this Hungry GORGEOUS
WEEBLE to close for today.. first I gotta tell

ya... "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,

~Nuther Dark Dull Day~

Its such a dark gloomy day outside the street lights

should have come on.. They didn't, but I'm surprised

they didn't, as dark as it was.. It didn't rain, just looked

like it... I watched a squirrel outside by Joyce's bird

feeder, she must not have been looking outside or she

would have run that squirrel off.. I had thought he

would have come over to these 4 ears of corn I have

out there, but he didn't... I guess its not smelly or some

thing.. I don't think it was the same squirrel that was

up there before, this one looks smaller, the other one

had a big fluffy tail.. this one doesn't.. but he sure was

busy out there...

Penny made a doiley for my sister and I mailed it to her

so last night Shirley called to tell me she got it... She

really liked it too.. Penny crochets just beautiful.. I

have about 5 or 6 here that she made for me.. I'm very

old fashioned, I like doileys on the back of the couch,

or on a table... I think they look nice.. and years ago

that was an IN thing.. My mother and grandmother

were very good at crocheting.. my grandmother taught

me to knit and tried to teach me to tat, but I just

couldn't get the hang of it, she taught me to crochet

as well...


I have some doileys that my mother crocheted and

some very old aprons that she did years ago.. 3 in

fact, and they are just lovely... you cant find these

sort of things now days. People are too busy to do

this sort of stuff, specially if they work all day,

after work you go home to work even more and

don't have time for extra stuff.... I had thought

about that today.... I have so much free time now

and don't do anything... when before I can

remember wishing I could just stay home and do

what I wanted.. Well I can now, and I'm not doin

nuthin!!! I need to get motivated.... :-)


I did clean off my table in the kitchen so I can

cut out some things to sew.. Aprons for one thing,

and I may make some jammies for Alex...So I did

a little bit today already, plus I wrote this, so.....

I did do something.. :-) NOW... this GORGEOUS
WEEBLE needs to post this and go and have some

lunch so I can take my pill... :-) 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,

~Got Power Back~

You saw the time I posted yesterday and I did that

because of the electric company guy telling me that

I would be with out power for at least 4 or 5 hours

if not longer.. This was at 9:30... I shut my computer

down and just sat around and I did crochet a little.

I was totally bored.. I didn't think to check to see

if I had electricity.. :-) but I just sat here...!
Well along or about 2:30 yesterday afternoon I hear

a knock on my front door, even though there IS a

doorbell... I open the door to see another electric

company guy standing there... He says, "M'am, we are

gonna shut the power off in a few minutes, but it will

only be off for a half hour or so while we replace

that transformer on the pole out there." I looked at

him like he was NUTS!....

I said "WHAT?, a guy was here at 9:30 told me this

same thing and that my power was OFF and would be

most of the day!".. I was MAD!.. ALL these hours and

I had power and didn't know it? I thanked him and

he left.. In about 10 minutes the power DID go off,

and I would say about 45 minutes later it came back

on...

I sat from 9:30 in the morning till 2:30 in the after

noon without power I THOUGHT.. I wasn't SMART

enough to check to see if anything was running.. My

furnace and fridge are so quiet when they run I don't

hear them anyway!! I admit it.. I did a STUPID... :-)

I should have checked and I didn't... oh well.... I did

get a pot holder made :-)

Today is a rainy ickky day and I just told Penny that

I ache so bad.. My hips and butt and these 2 stumps

are giving me a bad way to go.. If these legs werent

already cut off, as bad as they ache today I would

probly cut them off my self.. They are giving me fits.

I hope its a better day tomorrow..

Time for lunch, what, I don't know, I told Penny to

surprise me.. She said "SURPRISE- NO LUNCH!!!"
That WAS a surprise.. :-) Post time and for this

GORGEOUS WEEBLE to warn ya, "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....

~Losing Power~

I am posting this now because the electric company is

turning the power off for at least 4 or 5 hours..which

means no TV or telephone..and no computer... So I decided

before they do and not knowing WHEN it will be back on,

I'm posting now...

Other than this there is no news here really.. Just

my same same day.. I see them ready to shut every

thing down.. This sure will be a boring day for sure

with no power..

This GORGEOUS WEEBLE is signing off for today,

but I shall return tomorrow..

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

I'm honored to call you Friend..

Until I write again...

~Another Rainy Day~ :-(

Another rainy, gloomy day... I sure know it too.. I

bet I was awake more than I was asleep last night.

My stumps ached no matter what I did or which

ever way I laid there and I even tried just sitting

up and sleeping that way... The longest stretch was

a little over an hour.. How I know how long is because

I have a clock on the cable box .. I couldn't sleep if

I didn't have a clock.. Just a quirk, like I cant stand

a door being closed so I am shut in some where.. I

guess you would say I'm claustrophobic plus I am

scared of heights... I have lots of idiosyncrasies,

or how ever you spell them...

My sis called last night and apparently Stanley has

to have open heart surgery on December 3rd.. He

has blockage in 2 arteries and the valve needs to

be fixed... He has a very good doctor, a heart

specialist.. I tried to think of the doctor that did

my triple bypass but I just cant remember his name.

But I don't remember a lot during that time. Was a

very traumatic year. this was in 2000... in May....

Please keep Stanley in your prayers, we all know

there is nothing more powerful... :-)

Penny made it today, she is feeling a lot better but

still has a horrible cough... I didn't have her do a lot

today, well we werent too messy over the week end

we kept things nice, so there really wasn't a lot for

her to do.. She did go to the store to get some stuff

to make either a meat loaf or some more spaghetti

sauce. I told her to get some pasta and to surprise

me as to the kind.. I like angel hair but Id like

something different...

Other than that it is a quiet day and I like this kind.

I watched a great movie that I have on DVD.. it was

called Ragtime.. I loved the music in it.. its a good

movie, an older one, but good.. Well this GOOD
GORGEOUS WEEBLE needs to eat and take her

pill..so.. that means its time for me to warn ya....
"I SHALL Return!"....

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

~Rainey Aches~

I knew it was a rainy day before I even got out of

bed this morning... I ached like crazy.. My right

stump was throbbing and my big toe on my left

invisible foot was letting me know it was there!

Its not been raining hard, just enough to mess

up the roads and car windshields.. and make it a

dark kinda day...
I noticed that Steve and Lisa are having to park

their car out back again... Why Joe just doesn't

fix a parking spot by the front door I don't know.

I wouldn't want to park out back when its only a

one lane driveway.. The garage is a 2 door one,

but its not really set up out there for 2 cars to

park side by side.. and there is no side walk from

their back door to the drive way like I have from

my back door... All they have is grass.. I wouldn't

like that, specially in the winter... Be interesting

to see what is done.. I know they havent been cleaning

up after their dogs, I have had a couple people tell

me now that I need to be very careful if I go out,

that there are doggie "remains" all over the front

yard... That is NOT good....
Isnt that a neat photo? I wish it was clearer but it

still looks pretty neat I think... I sure enjoy taking

these photos.. With the inside door closed now it

makes it hard to focus since it has to go through

2 panes of glass. The outside door and the inside

one.. Its just too cool to sit with the inside door

open.. Makes my furnace click on which just makes

me cringe every time I hear it, knowing my gas

meter is going round and round ... :-) But I sure

enjoy watching these birds and the squirrel.. Even

the cats that are wandering around...
So far I can say I have counted at least 5 different

cats loose, going from yard to yard... Why people feel

cats need to be outside is beyond me... Mine never go

out, never have and never will... If they were wild cats

and used to the outdoors be different, but they have

never been outside, they were born indoors... I think

they would like to go out, because cats are nosey but

I don't think they belong out there.. That's like I don't

approve of removing a cats claws.. My boys are fully

armed and dangerous is what I tell everyone.. I would

no more have their claws removed any more than I

would my own.. Cats are NOT stupid and can be trained

not to claw furniture or whatever... Could you imagine

having an itch and no nails to scratch it? That would be

torture ! :-)
Speaking of itches, I have a hunger itch :-) This

GORGEOUS WEEBLE needs to take her pill, so I

gotta eat something.. What- I have no idea, I never

seem to have a problem finding something though!

Which I dunno if that's a problem or not !! :-) First

I gotta tell ya.."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....

~Phone Problems~

Ive been having trouble with my phone I'm finding out.. Bad thing is I didn't know it! Since I got this bundle thing from CHARTER, my phone has been really crappy.. If I dial a long distance number, I hear this "hang up and try again" crap. So I do, I hit redial and the number goes through! I shouldn't have to do that.. I dug out my book I got and I'm looking in there to see if I did something or what.. Ive gotten a few emails lately from friends that said they tried to phone, but couldn't get through! Well, that's NOT good at all.. Every one knows that if I don't answer by the 4th ring, I either am on the other line or in the bathroom and to try back in a few... If then I don't answer, well something may be wrong... I very very seldom go anywhere so I always answer my phone. I hate that call waiting and I wont put anyone on hold to answer another call.. I hate when I'm put on hold and get even madder when I have to listen to some crappy music ! Hopefully I have fixed my phone :-) I don't have any plans for today other than to make a apron for Pennys granddaughter.. I told her I would make aprons for all her grands, she has 4 girls I think... She likes to cook and bake with them when they come over, so I'm gonna surprise Penny with one for herself too...I think she will like that... As for me, I am ok.. I do have a few sore spots but well.. that all comes with the territory so to speak... its to be expected when you sit on your butt all day... Ive been trying to lay differently at night so I am not putting so much weight on my tail bone.. I get a spot there that gets really bad some times... Then I sit crooked and that puts pressure on my hips that they arent used to then that makes THEM ache.. I am not in a win win situation here... I cant seem to win no matter WHAT I do, Maybe if I could stand on my head that might work. :-) Like I KNOW that's gonna happen :-) Anyhoway, I need to post this for today and get on with it.. I need to do something even if its wrong.. just so I can say I did something :-) So this GORGEOUS WEEBLE is signing off but I hope you have a great week end... Ooops.. almost forgot !!! "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....

~Donnie and the Pres~ :-)

Donnie on the left, white shirt...

It was nice having special company.. They have been

my friends for a very long time.. I havent seen them

in at least a year, so it was a nice visit.. They have a

family member that is quite ill and don't want to be

gone for any length of time or they would have stayed

longer... Its always enjoyable to talk over good times...

I got a call yesterday from the boy, Donnie.. He gave

me the URL to a site with the local news, for the 11th.

Was a picture there of Donnie with the President...
Obama went there to Monaco Coach to talk to everyone

and Donnie even got to shake his hand and talk to him

for a few minutes.. Donnie was most excited.. Needless

to say I sent the URL and photo to everyone :-) I told

him I was putting it here too...so if you want to read

the article you can.. theres video too...

http://www.wsbt.com/news/local/52547332.html Penny showed up today and she is feeling a lot better. I had done a lot so there wasn't much for her to do... Rebecca brought me some pots and pans so she had to clean them up and of course do the floors which I cant do either...Oh and dust.. some things I just cant reach! It aint easy being short!... :-) She made a run to the grocery store to get some more of those 3 musketeer mint candys... They are better than York Peppermint Patties! The mint is creamier and just so much better.. Penny got them for me to try. I like Peppermints and usually she gets those tiny York patties for me.. these Three Musketeer Mints are a lot better !! I have NO idea what lunch will be today.. I am not very hungry but I HAVE to eat to take that pill... I am just NOT a pill person.. I never remember.. I keep them out on the table so that I see them when ever I go into the kitchen, but I can STILL forget. But I havta eat.. so ...... THAT means this GORGEOUS WEEBLE has to post this and find food.. Don't forget though.. "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....
