~Gift Box~

I got a call yesterday from a lady with the Catholic

church here in town. She said she has a Christmas

gift box for me. They will deliver it today!.. This is

so wonderful. She didn't say what was in it but I

love surprises :-) I cant wait to see what it is :-)

Penny made it today, bearing gifts of peanut butter

and chocolate fudge :-) She makes THE BEST fudge.

I really NEED fudge you know :-) As Raife calls it,

fudge might possibly be a "chair shrinker" :-) When

Penny left Friday, LB howled and whined for hours

after she left. She brushes him a lot when she is

here and that's one of his very best favorite things.

So needless to say when he heard her come thru

the door this morning he was right here :-) Dutch I

think is jealous and hes not being nice to Penny at

all, in fact every time she goes to reach and pet him

he dodges and raises his foot like hes gonna slap her.

Kids, they are so unpredictable.. :-)

We are having meat pie today. Its been quite a while

since we made one. Penny went to the store as I was

just about out of water. I cant drink the water here,

its too bleachy.. and tastes awful. She got some sun

flower seeds too, I think the birds will be happy. I

got a movie for Christmas from a very dear friend

that I am most anxious to see, "Julie & Julia". I saw

the previews on TV and it looks really good.. Julia

Child was a great, but sloppy cook. I watched a show

of hers one day where she set the whole kitchen on

fire :-) She was good.. I am going to try to watch it

this afternoon....

Penny is back and this GORGEOUS WEEBLE needs

to help with the prep for the meat pie. BUT! I

Shall Return~!~ :-)

Always, Lois ****

God Bless You, is my prayer today,

I'm so honored to call you "friend".

I pray the Lord will keep you safe,

Until I write again...
