~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 ****
