~Headache~ :-(

This is gonna be a short post as I just really
don't feel worth a crap today and all Ive done
since ive gotten up is gripe.. My eyes are all
red and swollen and itch and hurt.. My nose is
all stuffy and I can hardly breathe at times, and
needless to say I have a HEADACHE !! I just
wanna go back to bed and lay down, which is
just what I'm gonna do.

Penny is here getting us all set for the week end
and she is making pastys today, I don't know for
sure but the boy may be by tonite.. He has some
business up here to check on.. someone wants
some work done, so he said he may stop by.. If
he does, one of the two pastys are his.. One is
mine :-) So he should be pleased.. Hes into his
week end racing again.. hes head mechanic for
a friend that has a race car that he enters into
races all around this area.. Last week I think the
race was in Plymouth or somewhere.. Or maybe
that's this week.. I dunno.. But Donnie is the
main mechanic.. They depend on his expertise..
and hes good. on diesel engines too.. :-)

Its time for me to close this and go and see what
all else to do before Penny goes...I have to make
sure cuz once she leaves today I wont see anyone
till Monday. I am not going to mention my computer
problems as it just makes my head hurt worse and
my stress level is already past boiling.. I plan to
have a quiet week end...and not think about anything.
And hopefully by Monday things will be brighter..
Adam , is gonna help me fix my puter so its just a
matter of waiting for the mailman.. and coming all
the way from the UK.. and that volcano.. no telling
if or when a plane can fly over here :-) But I will
wait.. AND...

Just so you know.. this GORGEOUS WEEBLE
WILL Return!! :-)

Always, Lois ****

"God Bless You" is my prayer today,

~Ransom Ware~

This is what its called.. I looked it up online..I think
this is Pure D Crap... Many many have had to deal
with this because of Windows Vista and Microsoft
being so greedy that they have to take advantage
and send you viruses so that you have to buy their
anti virus software.. What gets me is that Hewlett
Packard is taking advantage as well by telling me,
and I have it recorded..that they will re register
my computer for $100.oo which is also a crock..

They said, and I read online as well, that I will need
a recovery disk..My computer did NOT come with
one.. NOW.. besides having to pay 100 to re register
this I also would have to pay Vista Security 50 every
3 months for their anti virus program.. I have AVG,
and I have Ad Aware AND Spybot S & D.. none of
them stopped this from getting thru and thats because
Microsoft.. as in Bill Gates sent it.. HP and Bill must
be broke..that they feel they need to do this..

I have told many never to use ANYTHING microsoft,
like Internet Explorer.. Use Mozilla.. that Microsoft
WILL send crap into your computer.. Well, they finally
got me.. I am just one of many.. and I am most un
happy :-(

I called HP again and have been searching for things
to do.. I am waiting for a friend to send via snail mail
the stuff I will need to fix my now useless computer!
I am SO upset about this.. I could hardly even sleep
it makes me so mad.. The bad part is.. I dont have
the 100 to re register that computer OR the 50 every
3 months for anti virus.. McCaffee and Norton dont
get along with alot of different programs.. Plus I get
the free version of AVG... It scans every day.. but it
just couldnt stop this virus.. mainly cuz Microsoft
sent it..

Watch me get sued for putting this here, but
I dont care.. This is NOT right.. Someone needs to do
something... Bill Gates needs my piddly 2 extra cents
I get a month.. well I will gladly give it to him.. DONT
steal it by lying and trying to hurt me.. And taking my
computer away is doing just that.. I hope Bill DOES
read this .. I should write to Ricks List.. hes on tv and
always got some good interesting stories :-)

Im posting this now.. and gonna call HP again.. I will
file a million complaints if I havta.. I have ONLY begun
to fight :-) So.. Until tomorrow.. "I shall Return!"

~Scam, Scam~ :-(

Well, I was right.. This is all a scam and rip off
by Microsoft and Vista.. They send you a virus
and then you have to buy their virus removal,
as THEY are the only one that has it..What gets
me is that Hewlett Packard is in on it to make
money as well.. They said "You have to RE-
Register your computer THEN we will tell you
HOW to fix it.. But you will Still have to buy the
virus remover from Microsoft.. Know what? I
want an Apple !.. This is such crap !

Well.. I KNOW im not the only one this has happened
to.. But see the thing is. when you buy this crap
they THEN get your bank and credit card info.. So
DO NOT buy it !... Im probly gonna get sued for
this.. telling- but I dont care.. Bill Gates should be
ashamed of himself.. He doesnt have enough money?
He has to rip us off? THEN- HP.. one of the biggest
PC people.. they got IN on the action too? And who
suffers.. US, the little people.. that dont hurt anyone.
This really sucks... But This is exactly what their doing.
So if you have Vista.. you can expect your PC to get
shut down... I bought that PC in June of 08.. they said
it ran out of warranty.. Wonder how they know? I never
DID register it .. What crap...

I know, by the time I made about a dozen calls to HP
yesterday I was on the verge of a major stroke.. So I
shut every thing down and went to bed...and I stayed
there till this morning.. I have been gathering info so
that when I confront Microsoft and HP I have all my
ammunition so to speak.. I wont go into a battle un
armed.. :-) You Know I have to have a plan of attack,
and this battle is just starting.. This is totally unfair
I think !! :-)

Penny came today and we are having chicken caccatory
or something like that.. Its breaded chicken breast
cooked in tomatoes and onion.. Very good...Some
thing different.. This GORGEOUS WEEBLE isnt really
hungry but I was so upset yesterday I couldnt eat at
all, but I need to eat or I get shakey.. Anyhoway...
I Shall Return!!! :-)

~Serious Problems~

You see the time, I am very late.. My computer has crashed.
I turned it on.. a virus alert came on.. I bet I made a dozen
phone calls and NO one would tell me from HP.. They would
IF I pay to re-register or BUY some vista virus remover..
To re do my puter costs 100.. to buy this virus crap is 50.
I cannot use my desktop at all.. Nothing will open for me..
I am so mad .. Why didnt they tell me this? If you dont buy
a service agreement with HP they will shut down your
computer ! SO not fair...

I am using a laptop to write this but I wont have it but
for today.. So I have NO idea when I can resolve this..It
wont let me open anything OR do a system restore, I tried.
I have to have a recovery disk or know how to do it.. This
sucks..

Anyhoway, I did make it here to tell you .. I will return as
soon as I can.. When.. well I dunno... Great way to start the
week.. BOO HOO.. But I will return soon as I can!!! :-)

Always, Lois ****

~Anything's Possible Nowdays!~

The red car is still out there and not been
moved at all.. I dunno if it belongs to some
company my neighbors have or what.. I think
of these cars they find abandoned, that some
one missing was in.. and I would feel awful if
that red car belonged to a missing person and
it was just hidden here.. Anything is possible
in this day and age..

I was talking to a friend about all the stuff we
had seen in movies when we were kids.. All that
stuff we saw as science fiction.. yet look now..its
ALL true ! :-) Thing is.. what they are showing NOW
as science fiction scares the crap otta me.. I just
watched a sci-fi with Slyvester stallone.. they froze
him.. woke him later to solve the crime problems..
He woke to a world where Taco Bell was considered
one of the fanciest restaurants to eat at :-) You
KNOW that was science fiction.. :-) I don't even
want to know whats ahead.. scarey to me...

I made a big mistake this morning and caused pure
d misery for my boys.. I almost made them get into
a major major fight.. I was not thinking that they may
fight each other.. specially if I let that female in.. Just
like those males do outside when she is around.. Shes
such a friendly little cat.. and every day trusts me more
and more.. Well this morning, after Penny got here, we
saw her out there, we fed her and she just hung around.
Penny went out to feed the birds and when she came
back in.... I let the girl kittie come in too.. VERY WRONG
MOVE.. she went right over to their bowls, didn't eat
any thing.. but the boys instantly started to stalk each
other.. Dutch was extremely aggressive to LB and LB
just stood his ground.. He would NOT back down to
Dutch..

I put the little girl back out side and my boys still kept
stalking each other.. ears flat on their heads.. their
tails just twitching.. I sure didn't want to break up a cat
fight.. and Penny, she didn't know what to do.. My boys
have their claws.. and are quite dangerous.. She wont
get into the middle of a cat fight.. Me, I don't care, I
rule.. they don't fight without my permission.. I let them
go .. they just kept circling each other and I was REALLY
glad they didn't fight.. Ive seen some of theirs and the
end result is just what Dutch has on his neck right now..
A big red scratch... and of course clumps of cat hair all
over.. :-) kids.. theyre back to lovin each other again.. but
I had to promise I would NOT let the girl kittie back in..
:-) I'm hoping Penny takes her home.. She did pick her up...
but didn't hold her long.. :-) Give her time :-)

I'm having meat loaf for lunch today.. Not too much sounds
good to me.. I woke with a bad headache and I didn't sleep
worth a crap last night.. I bet I was awake every hour.. I
was all set to watch that Amazing Race and about 8:15 the
screen went black and we lost cable.. We were having some
BAD storms... So I just shut the TV off and went to sleep..
I slept till about 10:30 and from then on every hour I think
I woke up.. I look at the time when I do .. that's how I know
if ANY time is going by at all.. Sometimes I think its just
standing still! :-) But the night went by and we all got up
about 8.. and the way I feel as soon as I post this I might
check to see if my cable is back :-) In other words.. I may
"take a 5" :-)

Anyhoway, its lunch time and of course, I'm hungry.. What
Penny has fixed to go with the meatloaf I have NO idea...
It will be good, I have no doubts.. This GORGEOUS
WEEBLE also has NO doubts that I SHALL RETURN!!:-)
Hope you have a great week.... :-) I hope mine is Quiet!!

ALways, Lois ****

~Loud Thunder~

kittie inspectors :-)

Woke up to rain, thunder and lightning.. AND
to a strange car parked out back ! I have NO
idea who's car.. I am guessing next door.. I saw
it out there last night, but figured they just
had company next door, but this is the first
Ive seen a car out there this long.. As of this
writing its still out there.. The rain is coming
down in buckets and the thunder and lightning
are so loud that the boys BOTH actually jumped
up and ran, and LB is STILL howling.. Hes going
from the bedroom, down the hall to the kitchen
and MEOWINGGGG the whole way! I keep
asking him "WHAT???" All he says is "MEOWW".
Sometimes I don't understand kitty at all.. The
boy ran and hid in the closet.. That's where I
would head if I saw it looked REALLY bad out
there OR heard the tornado sirens.. I think the
safest place would be my closet.. My only worry
is that the boys wouldn't follow me.. LB hides in
the laundry room or in the bathroom most of the
time.. Wonder how I would train them to go into
the closet... I should keep a bag of treats in there,
they both come running when they hear that bag
rattle :-) Good Idea Lois ! :-)

I can remember when I was younger and saw it
was a rainy day, I always hoped it would stay
that way so I didn't have to go outside and could
stay in and my favorite thing to do was play paper
dolls.. Usually with my friend Pepper.. We both
liked the clothes.. I had 2 of the best dressed
dolls I thought.. I had Elizabeth Taylor and Doris
Day.. :-) They had wonderful clothes.. Plus I would
fix them if I didn't like the way they came.. Pepper
wasn't skilled at sewing.. she could for real..but not
alter paper clothes.. :-)

Ive been asked a few times about clothes for some
one in a chair that was easy on and off AND looked
nice.. How any woman, that's an amputee, well DAK,
like me.. can wear those tight shorts like ive seen lots
wear.. I just think that would be so hard to get up
and down or off.. specially if you were OUT ! Maybe
cuz I'm older, if I was in my 30's, MAYBE I would
feel differently.. but then I dunno.. I probly would
only wear pants even back then if I HAD to.. I like
to wear nice clothes and to look good.. I think that's
all part of feeling good.. and skirts or dresses have
ALWAYS made women look better than pants.. :-)

How did I get from rain to my not wearing pants?
:-) wow.. and in only 3 paragraphs! I'm pretty good!
I ate my leftover fish yesterday, but I had Penny
get some ground meat, and I have buns.. I might
make a nice juicey hamburger with sauteed onions.
I LOVE sauteed onions on a burger, with ketchup
of course :-) That sounds good.. Talked, no I guess
WROTE my self right into that hunger didn't I?
SO.. now all that's left is to post this, eat and see
whats on the tube today. I got up early so you KNOW
this GORGEOUS WEEBLE is gonna take a nap too!
BUT.. I shall return! :-)

~Noisey Chair~

My chair is squeaking.. The left back tire.
Its not really a squeak but a noise it didn't
make before.. Its been noisey for a while,
but seems to be getting louder, or my hearing
has improved :-) I cant tell if there is some
thing wrapped around it.. and I keep forgetting
to have Penny check it out.. Its hard for me to
do when I'm not in it.. its not that easy to move,
well I mean maneuver it... its like a CAT bulldozer.
It has a lot of power.. and to move it, and not be
in It.. most that try take it off battery power,
then it can be pushed like a manual chair.. just
doesn't move as easy as one though cuz of the
tires on it.. I could do that.. I dunno I hate to
mess with this chair and do something wrong,
we all know how prone I am to doing the wrong
thing at the wrong time.. I will admit I HAVE
learned THAT... "be careful what I try to do,
it can easily go wrong".. I think the white paint
is STILL on the back of my manual chair :-)
Anyhoway, my chair is making noise :-)
It is a cold, damp, rainy, dark day today.. I got
up about 7:30, I just couldn't lay there any
longer, and I knew it was about time that the
boys would start to wake me so I beat them to
it and got up :-) I made coffee and fed my boys,
then I fixed 3 plates for the outside cats.. I
opened the door real slow, I figured at least
one would be out there.. The same 3, the girl,
an orange and the black and white.. They were
ALL wet.. Was so sad.. I looked around and saw
the other black and white one and another of
the orange.. They ALL were wet..So I wonder
if they have a home.. They could get in that
garage over there, where the pontoon is.. and
at least get out of the rain.. They must just be
so scared.. Its just a shame to see.. I don't
give them much but a little bit of left over food.
I hope it helps.. I wish I HAD a nice big barn
for them .. :-)
My lilacs, thru the window screen :-( What color...:-)

If you look closely at the picture up top you will
see that my peonies have buds on them ! This just
seems so early to me.. Look to the left, in the
dirt, you can see the sunflowers are up...The finches
will LOVE them.. Around the bottom there of the
hummer food hanger is where she planted some
more morning glories.. I had her take that fence of
plastic tulips out so maybe this year they will know
to climb that hanger thingie .. :-)

Oh! AND.. COA called and said next week they will
send John to cut and trim out my yard.. I hope that
includes the side and doing the edging.. THATS what
I need as Joyce and Carl do the mowing and weed
eating... I think once this is all edged and the grass
taken out of the cracks it wont have to be done that
often.. I will have to ask John.. I think hes the same
one that cut the grass at the little house...But John
wont have to cut the grass.. I don't want to take Carls
job away from him.. He does good work.. and hes a
good snow and leaf blower too ! ... I will talk to John..

I'm having left over fish today as soon as I post
this, of course this GORGEOUS WEEBLE is hungry,
but I need to remind you.. or should I put Warn ya,,,,
I SHALL ReturN! :-) Happy Weekend !!!

~Houses Are Better~

Something happened next door.. Penny and I
were in the kitchen and see these 2 men come
around the side of the house and go over to
the backdoor next door.!. so I rolled out to the
front not having ANY idea who these men were!
Made me cautious... Then Penny says "You don't
have any water!" They didn't even let me know!
I called the city hall and they said they had some
kind of emergency leak next door and the problem
should be fixed shortly... I thought they had it all
fixed from the last time their basement sprang a
leak.. I'm glad I DONT have a basement, just for
this reason.. And also why I don't like apartment
or even duplex living..House is better :-)
I don't like worrying that the people next door
and connected to my place could cause a leak or
worse yet a fire! I just saw on the news where a
senior apartment, one floor... building caught on
fire, one resident left something on the stove! Its
so easy to make mistakes with stoves.. I KNOW!
I think, twice, at the apartment, I turned the wrong
burner on.. And I did it once here, in fact, only a
few weeks ago.. I was reheating something and I
noticed it was taking too long.. I keep burner covers
on my stove.. I looked at the back one.. it was ON!
that cover, all underneath wasn't too bad, I caught
it in time.. But it coulda been!... That's why I don't
like where the knobs are on my stove, too.. I have
to reach across a lit burner to shut it off.. At the
apartment, so I didn't turn on the back burner again,
I took the knobs OFF.. Worked good.. And I may do
that here too ! Just so I don't do that again.. We
never use the back burners anyway..
I didn't go outside today.. I was gonna but I have a
horrible headache.. and its SO BRIGHT out there,
I don't have sunglasses.. I'm squinting all the time
in here cuz my eyes hurt so bad from these allergies.
Theyre so swollen and red, I look like a boxer :-) So
I had Penny take HER camera out there so I could
see that tree on the other side of the garage.. Isnt
that just THE most beautiful thing? Awesome.. :-)
My lilac is so pretty, she brought a little branch back
inside.. smells wonderful.. Dutch thought it was just
for him.. I cannot have living plants or flowers INSIDE.
That cat will eat them, then puke.. So .. No living stuff
in here but us.. I almost got the little girl kittie in here
though! :-)

The orange one was waiting for me this morning, then
shortly after the little girl came by. Penny went out
there and she would only let her so close to her, then
she would run off.. hiding under the car.. or running
then laying down seeing if Penny would follow her :-)
Who was playing who? :-) cats are so smart... Give
those kitties time.. they will all come to me.. IF I can
get OUT there :-) I havent given up on getting a deck.
I maybe am sayin my prayers wrong.. :-)
We are having fish today.. I LOVE Fish.. It was on sale
when Penny got it, a week or so ago I think.. so she got
2.. and today we are having the 2nd bag.. Its really good
fish.. and plus Penny is a good cook... Dunno what shes
gonna fix to go with.. I have some steak fries in the
freezer.. be fast and easy.. and theyre really good too!
Not too much here is bad food :-) Well yeah, bad, as in
Chair shrinker Food :-)

So, its POST time and lunch time for this GORGEOUS
WEEBLE... There was no progress on the pool today cuz
they poured cement and its gotta dry .. :-) But I'm
watchin and I'm gonna return HERE ! :-) Tomorrow..:-)
Y'all have a good week end :-)

~Summer Funtime Soon~

Joyce and Carl worked out in the yard last evening.
I was watching TV and thought I heard the lawn
mower, I did, they do a good job.. They are both
in their 70's.. they keep up my yard, theirs, and
the garden lady's plus Joe's other rental places..
I see Carl doing something out there just about
every day.. Soon they will take the pontoon out of
the garage.. Soon will be summer funtime :-)
The pool across the street is going along nicely..
Ive seen 3 workers so far... The big backhoe is
gone and theyre using that little digger.. Its not
a above ground pool.. I don't think.. not from
what I can tell :-) I'm trying to figure out a way
to get a closer picture and other than sending
Penny over there to take one.. Well. I may not
be able to see the finished pool.. I bet its gonna
be pretty though.. I have a perfect yard for one
too.!.. Penny said "you can tell what they did with
their tax refund" :-) That's not a bad thing to
spend it on.. :-) Whole family can enjoy it, and
from what I remember last year they had a few
kinda big partys, so a pool will be nice :-)
I got up early, as Rebecca was here about 8:30
for her visit.. Shes doing great.. But before she
got here, after I made my coffee.. I opened the
door to the cutest surprise.. The little girl kittie
and the orange and black and white one were
waiting for breakfast.. The little girl started
jumping up on the door, and was meowing.. I had
to smile.. Dutch thought it was great.. :-) I think
she would have come in if I didn't have the food
dish in my hand... She will.. :-) I had to divide the
food into 3 plates for these guys.. Or one would
eat all the left overs of the good stuff and the
others would get only the dry..:-) I wanted the
girl to have at least some of the leftover can stuff.
Specially if shes gonna have babies.. I worry about
that.. Poor kitties.
That gorgeous tree on the other side of the garage
is really pretty.. I have decided if its nice tomorrow
I'm gonna go out and take a picture of it AND see
just HOW the side of this place looks and how much
needs to be done.. Penny will be here so she can go
with me.. I wont go thru the yard by myself.. its not
level and hard to tell where its not.. But I need to do
my 'Spring Survey' :-) I hope its nice tomorrow.. Id
like to just get outside !! Ive still not heard back from
Joe about the deck.. So I dunno. :-( Sure would be
nice to have one.. Carla, from COA is trying to contact
some people she knows.. Not owning this place no one
will do it .. :-( not for free anyway...! Oh well.. I can
still enjoy my back yard... :-)
Mr. Bluey wasn't so fast this morning and I got a
couple nice photos of him FINALLY~!~ :-) I cant
wait for the hummers to come back.. I don't know
when that will be.. My sunflowers ARE coming up!!!
The gold finches will love them.. :-)
I don't have anything else planned for today.. I'm
kinda glad.. Its been a pretty busy week.. Other
than sounding like a truck driver and have red
watery swollen eyes.. I'm Still a GORGEOUS
WEEBLE :-) and I'm hungry.. I have some manwich
left.. and that's what I'm having.. So .. you KNOW
what that means.. :-) I SHALL RETURN!!! :-)

~New Pool~ :-)

The digger is there at the back of the house...its yellow, must be a CAT :-)
The neighbors are putting in a pool ! Those 2
kids over there are so fortunate.. I didn't see
the trucks over there till Penny came and told
me.. :-) They have a boy and a girl.. that I have
seen.. The boy is most active... Hes always out
there hitting a ball or throwing a foot ball then
he will run and get it and he has big fun all by
himself.. It surprises me though cuz there is a
boy that lives next door.. the house with the
6 kids and 3 or 4 dogs :-) across from them
next door to me :-) But those 2 boys I never
have seen them play together.. Ive watched
as the corner boy just stands out there and
hes seeing this other kid.. Maybe they just
don't get along .. they look the same age..
My caseworker from APS phoned me at 6:40
last evening.. wanting to come by.. I was NOT
pleased.. She wanted to drop off some papers
and do her 6 month checkup.. I told her I was
already out of my chair, but since she was already
up in this area I would get back up... Normally I
wouldn't.. She sure was working late... TOO late.
That's really NOT a good time to make a visit.
I thought DHS/APS closed at 4.. what they say
anyway.. I know how over loaded these case workers
are.. I was told they each have over 300 clients
and she told me last nite there is NO money for
them to help us get something we might need, like
they used to.. Its really sad.. I'm grateful I have
most everything I need.. for now anyway..
We, as in Penny and I have decided I have allergies.
She watched AND heard me cough, sneeze, my eyes
go totally watery.. and my nose getting totally blocked.
Its allergies.. Ive never had them before.. but that
has no bearings.. you can get them anytime.. So I guess
I can add that to MY list of ... crap.. :-) always some
thing.. I know I sure am tired of this headache!! :-)
How long do allergies last anyway? :-) I can ask the
boy.. Donnies suffered for years with them...

This has been a very busy week.. Carla on Monday,
and Bill & Barb.. My caseworker yesterday.. plus
Penny.. and tomorrow Rebecca said she is coming
by.. I stay SO busy! No wonder I'm tired :-) Ive
been working on my budget so I can get some
bedding plants for outside.. There is a cement
container by the front door that we, no.. PENNY
planted last year with white impatients.. Was so
pretty so Penny is gonna do the same this year..
I spent my this month extra on the birdbath,
but this month is almost over.. and I think I can
squeeze it out of next month.. I'm hoping since
its warmer my gas bill will go down :-) I havta
make up my 'plan of attack'.. :-)

Penny is making us some Manwiches today with
potato chips.. I saw them advertise it on TV
and it looked SO good.. The Hunts Manwiches.
I have a WONDERFUL recipe that is my mothers
but we just didn't feel like digging it out and
these are very good... My recipe is for BBQ
sauce :-) it is kinda easy..but this is easier :-)
Penny has been busy today trying to make a
better padding on my bed. THICKER .. putting
more quilts on it.. I wish I had a satin one to
put on it.. Would make my transfer and moving
around my bed so much easier for me.. The
silk or satin would slide so nice.. Specially if I
had a silk nightie on too.. I probly would slide
right OFF the bed! :-) No.. I get into the middle
with my pillows in a sort of U shape..and I scoot
up into the middle of that U with my arms on
each side, pillows under neath.. the U is shaped
by pillows.. :-) Only way I could fall off my bed
is if I backed up wrong into my wheel chair..
the top of that U is where my chair is.... I have
almost done that though.. backed up wrong.. I
caught myself just in time :-) Falling from my
bed to the floor I think I could seriously hurt
something if I did that.. So.. I aint gonna :-)

What this GORGEOUS WEEBLE IS gonna do
is go out and eat one of those manwiches tho..
Smells so good in here, and I'm hungry as usual.
It is lunch time.. And IM LATE posting this..
BUT.. better late than never.. Remember.. I

~Barb, Bill and David~ :-)

Barb, Bill and David came by yesterday. We had
the nicest visit.. We laughed and talked about
everybody! :-) Bill and Barb, are Donnies parents.
David, is Donnies brother, younger one I think.. I'm
not sure.. There is another brother, son.. John... and
a daughter too, Cindy, I don't ever remember meeting
her though.. When Ive been at their house the kids
werent there...I knew Donnie before I knew his parents.
I thank them every time I see them for having AND
sharing their boy with me.. Barb smiles and says "he
loves you too".. :-)
I didn't think to take a picture while they were sitting
on the couch, even though I had the camera hanging
right here on my joystick.. Not till Barb closed the
front door on the way out did I think of it.. :-) It was
so good to see them.. I am so glad for Barb.. She was
diagnosed with stage 3 lung cancer over a year ago..
Today, she is cancer free.. :-) Needless to say she is
VERY happy, specially the way the family is growing..
Apparently SHE made the announcement about Kelli
having a baby on the way.. :-) Before Kelli and Jorge
could.. She didn't know no one else knew, she did, so
she thought so did everyone else.. :-) NOW they ALL
know :-) Kelli and Jorge planned to 'announce' it at
the END of Alex's party :-) I had to smile at that..
that's Barb.. :-)
We shared some great stories.. Barb loves the one
about when Donnie, he was about 16 or so.. he and
his friends would go by his house, even though Barb
TOLD him NOT to bring his friends there when SHE
wasn't there ! They would play the stereo,
but they ALWAYS cleaned UP! Yet, somehow,
Barb ALWAYS knew, would tell at Donnie, "I KNOW
you and your buddies were here!".. Donnie never knew
how she could tell when they cleaned up!.. Barb finally
told him.. when he was in his 20's! ... HOW she knew..
Mr. and Mrs, Cardinal :-)
Barb is a wonderful housekeeper, her place is spotless.
She KNEW these boys were gonna play that stereo,
whether they had food or not.. She kept a very good
shine on it.. When the boys opened the top of it to
turn it on.. wellllll.. they left FINGERPRINTS on the
lid! :-) They didn't THINK to wipe that off :-) She
still to this day laughs about it.. Donnie said it drove
him nuts trying to figure out- HOW DID SHE KNOW?
Nice back photo of Woodie :-)

Everyone stopped by for breakfast this morning.. In
fact, I got up at 7:30, looked out the door and one of
the orange kitties was sitting there looking back at
ME! Waiting patiently for food.. I went and got some
and he backed up a little, very leary of me, but didn't
run off.. he waited till I closed the door, then he went
up to the dish.. I didn't close the big door so he could
see me in that screen door.. I bet if I was out there
he would come up to me.. The little girl did the same
thing.. When I saw her out there, in line, I got some
leftovers of the COA lunch and put that out there for
her.. She didn't run off at all..just waited... :-) Its
nice to see these cats have manners.. Well some.. when
Pennys car is out there, the males HAVE to spray it...
That's not really nice to do :-)
Blurry Bluey :-)

I hadnt seen the woodpecker out there for quite a
while...He was out there this morning.. I did get a
backside photo :-) Mr. and Mrs, Cardinal dropped by
too.. Its cute how they stay close.. I thought I even
saw him hand a seed to her.. :-) Bluey is so fast..by
the time I can snap hes moving and the picture is
blurry :-) I think my card is wearing out :-) But I
did enjoy seeing them all visit this morning.. :-)

I have a slight headache... my eyes are still swollen,
the left, It looks like someone Dotted my i :-) Feels
like it too! The right isnt as bad.. Its just allergies..
I notice my cats are wheezing too.. Even Dutch..and
he NEVER used to.. LB.. he ALWAYS has.. since he
was a baby.. Vet said Asthma.. I think Dutch is
allergies.. He came out and visited yesterday then
got up into his guard spot on top my computer...:-)
he stayed up there till they left! Hes my guardcat...
LB came out just before they left..walked in front
of the 3 of them while he smelled their feet, turned
and slowly walked back into the closet.. :-) Rude kid..
didn't say hi, bite them or nothin' :-)

Beautiful day today and seein all my critters outside,
and I got some nice email hello's.. this is a good day..
Well ... EVERY day is a good day ...really.. for this
GORGEOUS WEEBLE anyways.. I WOKE UP! :-) SO..
that alone makes it a good day :-) yes? yes.. Hope
yours is too ! Remember.. I shall return! :-)

ALways, Lois ****

~Headache Day~ :-(


I woke up with and STILL have, a horrible head
ache.. My eyes are watery and swollen and red...
Its got to be allergies.. My nose gets stuffy at
times too.. Ive never had allergies before that
I can remember.. I know my brothers, Kenny
and Frank, both get bad attacks of it.. Same
with Donnie.. My brother Kenny, and Donnie
have such bad attacks that they have to get
shots.. and Donnie allergies are the reason he
had to have that surgery done a few months
ago.. I think that's what this is... At least I
HOPE so.. But Penny and I both have a bad
head ache today..

She went outside and planted some morning
glory seeds around the bottom of the hummer
feeder.. She planted some sunflower seeds
last week and they ARE UP!! :-) Now, If that
chippie or rabbit that ate them last year will
leave them alone Ill be happy ! :-) If he eats
them we will just.. Why do I say "WE?" I should
say PENNY!!!! ;-) This is NOT in her job description
to do yard work.. I am really grateful that she
does this for me.. I cant seem to find anyone
that has enough time to come over and help me..
I cant afford to pay anyone to do this.. Well .. I
could feed them.. But the only one would take THAT
bait, would be Donnie ! :-) And hes just too busy..

As of right now, Ive not heard from Barb and Bill,
So I don't know if they are coming over today or
tomorrow.. I might call and find out.. Id like to
know, so I can plan better.. I run down by the after
noon.. I know by 4 I am ready for a nap.. which the
past couple days Ive taken one.. !! I KNOW I did
yesterday.. I probly shouldn't say HOW I know I
did.. but well.. I tell on my self ALL the time.. :-)


I was sitting in the bedroom up next to my bedtable..
I sit there until I'm ready to crawl over to my bed,
Which I do when I start to get really tired or my
butt screams at me to "GET OUT OF THIS CHAIR!"
Well.. I was watching something.. and the next thing
I knew .. hmmm that could explain the head ache
today :-) Yup.. My head went forward and I hit that
table and I DID wake UP! :-) I didn't hit the floor..
the table kept me up.. It is on wheels and WILL roll..
but I have to say, I AM smart enough to roll up to
it so that my front wheels stop that table from
moving.. :-) See? I DO LEARN from some of these
'hard knock' lessons :-) That could be part of the
reason I have an even worse headache today.. :-)

Other than that, theres not a whole lot going on..I'm
gonna post this and go and eat.. Penny made some
sauerqraut and sausage for me.. With potatoes.. I
havent had that in ages.. Ive been kinda craving the
sauerqraut its been so long.. It smells great!! She
made it something like when we use cabbage. Kinda
the same.. both are cabbage.. I like red cabbage too.
I have a recipe for sweet & sour red cabbage.. I
havent had THAT in a LONG time.. Ok.. NOW I'm
making my self even more hungier by writing about
it.. :-) Its time to go.. :-)

This GORGEOUS WEEBLE hopes you are having a
nice warm sunny safe day.. But.. Remember ! I SHALL
REURN!! :-)

Always, Lois ****
