~Prayers For Haiti~

Ive been looking at some of the news shows about

the earthquake in Haiti.. How sad...My sisters hubby,

Stanley, is a missionary to Haiti.. Ive not called them

as I know hes probly on the phone a lot since computers

would more'n likely not be up and running. I think that's

how he stays more in contact with his missionary friends

down there. I do hope none of Stan's people have been

hurt or killed... I am surprised it didn't set off a

tsunami like that other quake did... I'm glad it didn't !
Haiti needs our prayers thats for sure...

Stan goes there every 6 months or so delivering things

that he collects from different churches that donate

to the people there. I think one time a company had

donated radios that ran on solar..100's of them. Not

every one down there has electricity. The news says

its one of the poorest countries in the world.. That's

so sad.

Penny and I were talking about growing up in the good

years, and how glad we were that we hadnt been born

back in the 1800's, just the thought, we both thought

it at the same time... about the pottys being outside,

in another building, the out house.. I think I even have

a photo of the one that was at my grand parents, they

used it before they put one indoors... :-) BRRRRRR....

I couldn't even IMAGINE having to do that.. the

closest I ever came to using an outhouse was when

we would stop along the highway and the bathrooms

there were holes in the ground.. I HATED those

things.. but some times you have NO choice.. :-(

When I was about 10 or so, not sure.. I had to go

when we were on one of our Sunday excursions.

Dad stopped at a roadside place that had, of course,

out houses.. Dad knew I didn't really like them, but

I had NO choice! It was that or P my pants ! :-) Well,

I jump out of the car and make a mad dash for that

out house, opened the door, and proceeded to do

what I had gone in there for.. The only light was

from shapes, cut in the top of the walls.. I didn't

like that either, I was always scared a snake or

something ugly would craw out of the hole! :-)

My dad was a joker, he liked to tease and play jokes

on people.. he was a happy man... He got me quite a

few times because I was such a scaredy. Well- I'm

sitting there, suddenly theres a LOUD BANG !

on the wall.. My first thought was something was

coming out of that hole.. I jumped straight up, my

pants around my knees and ran out of that outhouse

like it was on fire.. ! Scared to death.. I hear my

dad laughing and there he is, running back to the

car... I was so embarrassed.. there was only my

mom and sister in the car, I was SO glad we were

not on one of the WHOLE family Sunday excursions,

where all my aunts and uncles and cousins would

have been there too!! :-)

Well its time to post and go and have some left

over meat pie.. Penny just gets better and better

making them.. She says she makes a huge pan of

it for her people and they really like it... :-) The

boy called yesterday and I told him I had meat

pie.. poor kid whined and said "I cant come over

NOW! Save me some!" He said he would be

here Friday or Saturday.. I think I will surprise

him and have Penny make him his own to take

home... He would like that.. :-) Penny says I spoil

Donnie... :-) Well hes good to me and well worth

it... :-) Hes a good man...

This GORGEOUS WEEBLE is ready to eat.. so its

time for my warning of "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...
