~Happy Birthday Alex~ :-)

Today is our boys' 2nd birthday.. Alessandro Joseph

is 2 years old.. Doesn't seem like he could be 2 already.

Hes such a cute kid.. Kelli says hes "Spoiled Rotten"..
Well that's what babies are for ! To be spoiled..specially

by their grandparents.. We all try our best :-) Kelli sent

some wonderful news yesterday.. She is having a 2nd

baby in November!!! :-) Donnie wants a girl.. I think another

boy would be nice.. Great growing up companion for Alex

to have a brother 2 years younger.. We cant wait.. There

will be a birthday party at Kellis tomorrow, and from what

I gather Donnies mom and dad are coming for the party

of course, well I believe, they came in last night.. :-) So

they may already be here, plus they were bringing

David, Donnies brother.. It should be a wonderful party..

Kelli said Donnie was putting together Alex's new

swing set :-) I am guessing its from Grandpa and
Grandpa and Gramma.. :-) I am not gonna go.. I think

Kellis house is accessible..but there will be a lot of

people there.. She will send pictures :-) So... anyhoway..

My company noticed the change in my voice.. I

will admit I sound like a lumberjack.. :-) Not that

they sound funny but my voice has drastically

changed.. Its VERY deep now.. In fact sometimes

I have a hard time talking my throat gets so, I

dunno.. irritated maybe is the word I'm looking

for.. Scratchy maybe, I do know its getting a lot

deeper.. Its not sore or anything.. but some times

I do have trouble swallowing.. not all the time, but

its happened.. and sometimes I have trouble talking!
THATS AWFUL!!! :-)


I was here at my desk, eating something, and Penny

was in the kitchen.. She heard me coughing, but then

I went into GASPS for air.. I had to breathe really

HARD to get any air in.. through my mouth or my nose.

Scared her.. She wanted to call 911.. I kept shaking

my head "no".. I couldn't say anything.. It was like

my throat had closed up.. Kinda scared me too..but it

wasn't the first time its happened, so I KNOW how

to get it to ease up where I can breathe again.. I

just have to TOTALLY relax.. not turn my head and

just sort of slowly but steadily try to breathe and

it will go away.. Its happened quite a few times :-)

Anyhoway... it was over 80 yesterday, today its

rainy and kinda cold. The heat hasnt clicked on so

its not too bad.. but its not warm out.. Its sposta

clear up later today... I sure hope its nice for Alex's

birthday party tomorrow.. My youngest son, Mark,

Its his birthday tomorrow, hes 43..... :-)

Well I'm late posting..but I had to stop and eat a

grilled ham and cheese sandwich that Penny made

for me for lunch.. she made one for herself too..

It really was good.. Hit the spot :-) So now, I'm

done with this and its time to post.. but... guess

what comes next... ??... :-) "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...
