~Major Storms~

Major thunderstorms going on.. I think Penny brought them
with her.. The boys are nervous..they don't like storms..The
lights have flashed a few times so I hope we don't lose power.
I'm not making this post a long one as I'm nervous in a bad
storm. I know I'm grounded, but.. I sit on 2 batteries.. so.. I
don't like to take chances..

By the time Penny got here, the boys were out of dry cat food.
I don't like when that happens..So needless to say Penny made
a trip to the store.. This week is a very busy one for her.. She is
getting married Friday.. Of course she will take the day off..

Its not going to be a big wedding, they are just going to the
court house in Centreville and then back to Pennys for a
small party, then she and Mike are just gonna take off for
the week end.. She will be back here Monday.. I HOPE!
Its so long to go from Friday to Monday but to go to wed,
that's TOO long...I will have to make sure we have all we
need Wednesday... Penny is marrying Mike..he seems
like a nice guy, Ive only talked to him on the phone..I am
sure she or someone will take photos..

Other than that, theres not a lot going on...I feel pretty ok,
not Great, but not bad either.. I'm breathin ... lets put it
that way , I'm grateful for that :-) So with that said, this
GORGEOUS WEEBLE is getting off this puter before
we lose power and I havent finished :-)


Happy Memorial Day... I shall return!

Always, Lois ****

~Condo Is Rented!~ :-)

See the stick?
Ive had the best time this morning, I even had to call and
tell the boy.. the condo is rented!! Both sides.. A week is
all that the birdhouse has been out there.. I watched those
birds take piece by piece stuff to make a nest inside.. I had
to laugh.. I bet that bird dropped the one stick at least 4 times,
it was just too big..too long.. She didn't give up and got it
inside.. :-)
I watched as she went over to the trees and over by the
hanging flowers to the leaves from that plant by it that are
all brown.. good nesting stuff...
Some of the other birds watched and a few tried to go over
too.. but the renters drove them off.. They have such a nice
neighborhood.. food all over, soon a birdbath.. nice house..
I cant wait to see if there are babies ! :-) I have the best time
watching all these different birds..I almost hate when the AC
comes on and I have to close the door..
Anyhoway.. I had hoped I would get to watch the kids across
the street enjoy their new pool.. I will only get to HEAR them
now.. They have put up a nice stockade fence for privacy,
which I don't blame them.. but it was in kinda a private spot
anyway...
The dad was out there today with a jack hammer.. I could see
how strong it vibrated.. he was just shakin... I dunno what he
was busting up..looked like cement.. I dunno why there would
be cement there anyway.. See that pile of dirt? I'm wonderin
ifn its sand.. I asked Penny what she thought and all she said
was "You arent gonna ask me to go and find out I hope".. She
doesn't wanna go and see.. I don't blame her.. If I see him out
there cutting the grass I might try to get his attention and ask
myself..I'm the one wanting that birdbath filled..so .. only right
I DO IT !! :-)
THere is a photo of my ugly mailbox.. My mail gets wet ifn it
rains.. Penny said she would spray paint it for me.. I think if
we get that metal paint.. it might work if she puts on a few
coats of it.. I think the can should be done too.. and I think
spray painting it would be cheaper than replacing the whole
box.. I'm gonna send Joe an email and see what he thinks,
he may pay for the paint.. If he doesn't I will.. It HAS to be
done.. I'm tired of wet mail...:-) Plus its FUGLY!!! :-)

Well its time to post.. and watch the birds some more..for
a while anyway.. I dunno what I'm gonna have for dinner..I'm
not really hungry...But this GORGEOUS WEEBLE always
finds something! Happy Memorial Day..Have a safe one...

~HoneySuckle 'N Hummers~

Hummers Happy
The honeysuckle is blooming outside my back door and
the smell is wonderful..The hummers are back and they are
having the best time between my feeder and the flowers, its
nice to see.. Just watching these birds and critters, to me,.
is so relaxing.. I really enjoy it..Sometimes the birds fight, and
sometimes like the doves, they are steady trying to.. lets just
say the male is VERY persistant..and steady chases the female,
and they run around, fly up in the air, and then stop and eat..
I will be glad when I can get something to put in my other birdbath
so I can put it out there for water for them.. Its starting to heat up
outside so they will enjoy the water.. I think I will put it over by
the birdhouse,,, maybe, It might make the water TOO hot since
it would be in full sun.. I think that's why they like that one under
the pine tree, its shaded.. I could just put a bowl of water in the
center of that one.. but then if these are sloppy birds, the seed
would get wet and that wouldn't be good.. Ive seen some of the
birds take baths.. they splash all over and Penny said the water
is really dirty. :-) A separate water bath would be best..
My peonies outside the back door ..there are 3 different colors.
Last year the white didn't bloom at all.. There is only 1 white
peonie flower out there, that I can see.. Isnt it pretty? They are
all just beautiful.. I told Joyce to come over and pick a few for
a bouquet.but shes not done it yet.. They cut the grass last nite
and the yard looks so nice..
I have been steady taking photos.I am so bad when it comes
to cameras.. When I sit and watch outside I keep seeing things
that I think would make great photos.. I downloaded 48 photos
this morning and out of all of them I only use the few I put here.
I have NO idea why I take so many.. I guess its so I can enjoy
seeing what I HAD seen but is gone...

Donnies birdhouse is being checked out by all the birds.. The
crow is a tad too big.. But I bet about an hour after he left after
he put that out there the birds were at it.. I hope they use it..I
think Penny will paint it for me..But if she doesn't it looks ok
like it does. I just think painting it might make it last longer..
Its on a metal pole.. I want to get a hook to put by it to hang
a morning glory on it.. I already started the seeds in a hanging
pot..Now all I need is the hook... Penny is looking...It could
be so pretty out there..

Me, I am feeling pretty ok... My usual daily aches and pains..
Nothing new..and I am MOST grateful.. I have enough :-) I
don't know what my dinner will be today, Ive been wanting a
nice juicey burger, I have some of those wonderful onion
rolls and with some good sauteed onions.. Sounds good to
me.. and the burgers are all patted out ready to just unthaw
and fry.. Works for me !! Solved THAT problem didn't I?
Was easy.. Now to put my plan into action.. Its that time..
GORGEOUS WEEBLE post time.. Hope your having a nice
sat day.. remember.. I shall return! :-)

~Up Early Again~ :-)

Another nice day. I woke up early, about 6:30, I got up, made
coffee and of course fed the kids.. All this time I'm doing this
I'm thinking today is Thursday, totally spacing out the fact that
Penny will be here today...:-) She got us all clean and set for
the week end.. We, well she, may make potato salad today
or maybe some sandwich spread sounds good too..To be
honest nothing really sounds good..I think we have run out of
ideas of new things to make..:-) I have a hard time thinking of
new stuff.. Then I head to my recipe boxes..I have mine and
my moms..Best thing I think I really got of hers..:-) Most of my
recipes are from my grandmothers or my mom..well some are
from my cousin June, shes an excellent cook too..

I watch a lot of cooking shows on tv..the ones with these 'Chef's'
from these fancy restaurants..called Iron Chefs,.. I don't think
their food looks that great..plus you don't get hardly any at all..
AND I have no idea what most of the stuff is that they use! You
KNOW these dishes must cost a lot at these places.. Not for
me.. Plain good cooking is the best..That show on the food
channel.."Diners, Drive Ins and Dives" is a great show..The
host Guy Fieri is a chef.... but he appreciates the basic and
good 'Home Cookin'.. He travels to all these small diners
and tries the food which I KNOW is a 100 times better than
the stuff they show these people making costing a ton of
money..I don't think being able to use a lot of weird ingredients
makes you a good cook.. and I think a good cook is better
than a Chef... :-) so..there you have it... :-)

That still hasnt decided what we are gonna make today..
Its gonna be hot so I don't want to turn the oven on..That
would trigger the AC .. Penny got an estimate to fix the
AC on her furnace..over 200.oo.. But shes got to have
the AC ...later on it will really be hot..So she almost has
no choice but to repair it.. The motor or something is
shot...I'm glad mine runs good.. I keep the temp at 78.
its really nice in here..It doesn't start to heat up till the
afternoon..when the sun hits the west side..THEN it
gets a tad warm...I use the ceiling fan at night..It helps
to keep the air moving..:-)

I feel ok today, no energy, and still achey hands..but
other than that I feel ok..and to that this GORGEOUS
WEEBLE says "Thank you Lord" :-) Time to post
and to remind ya.. I shall return!!! :-)

~I Will Miss Shrimp~ :-(

I decided I'm gonna post this early and try to work on my
kitchen.. Ive not been sewing so I think its time I made my
kitchen look like one.. I have stuff every where, and this fall
I will have been living here 2 years? Doesn't seem that long
does it.. Just shows ya how fast time is going by..Summer is
just starting, yet it will be over so fast we wont even realize it.
This is a holiday week end coming up.. Memorial Day...Lots
of bbq stuff on sale right now.. The price of groceries has gone
up so drastically.. and now with that oil all over the gulf.. its
gonna ruin the fresh shrimp and crab..what its doing to those
people down there that depend on fishing for a living ... I feel
so bad for them.. I will miss having shrimp!! I know the price
will go up..fish already has...

Its over a month this oil has been leaking..I would have thought
that before they even allowed them to drill they would have had
to show some sort of "In case something happens" fix...The
video I saw showed 4 leaks..and that stuff was pouring out..
They all are blaming each other, when the main concern should
be to fix it before it got to where it Is now..Its a tragedy..and I
bet it CANT be fixed..Not in our life time..the damage has been
done..That's MY opinion anyway..

Life has gotten to where its not valued anymore..People don't
value each other...How can they when a man can kill his wife..
or a son kill a father..Or any kind of human killing another..To
have NO value for another person..that they feel they have the
right to take someones life. I don't understand.. A young man,
23, killed his 19 year old, 8 months pregnant wife.. That is SO
sad!!! I don't understand that kind of thinking..whats so bad
is that this happened not far from me...They think they may
have found the young woman from here that came up missing..
I hope so..Its so awful not knowing if a loved one is dead or
alive...

I was thinking about all this today whilst I sat in the doorway
this morning..enjoying all the LIFE going on outside..Kids
walking to school..one rode his skate board. :-) the birds
all over eating everything they find.. The kitties came running
so fast when they saw me open the door..I saw Carl go out
and check his birdfeeder, then go on his daily morning walk..
There IS life out there !..My sister phoned last night and I
was thinking about what we talked about..and it was a lot
of her and Stanley working in the yard..Shirley is picky about
hers..and every year its just beautiful..She has geese and
ducks and babies..birds and rabbits. just like I have...we
compared our critters.. :-) our yards are a lot alike..except
she can go out in hers any time she wants to.. I wish I could
do that..One of these days hopefully :-)

Ok, I'm done for today and gonna try to get my table cleared
off. its a lot ..hopefully my arms wont give out :-) This
GORGEOUS WEEBLE has work to do..BUT!! I shall return!

~AC is ON~ :-(

We, well Penny- turned my thermostat on AIR today.. It was a scorcher
yesterday by afternoon, 3 or so..I saw on TV where it was about 86 or
so in the area.. Sposta get even warmer, I think a possible rain shower
today or tonite then the temp is gonna go up...90 and higher.. Penny
said her AC is out on her furnace and she has someone coming today
to look at it.. She thinks all it may need is freeon.. I turned my ceiling fan
on 2 last nite it got kinda stuffy in my bedroom..then I cant breathe at all,
the fan helps alot...

I feed the outside kitties right here on the step, where I can reach them..
The food draws flies, what little bit is left that is.. The flies get in here by
the door and Dutch will chase these flies around the door forever or till
he finally gets hold of them.. He has the best time. LB is in the livingroom
where its cool and laying on 2 super soft pillows I have in the corner..

How I KNOW where both cats are is because Penny had I both heard a
sound that sounded like one of the cats was trapped in the cabinet or in
one of the drawers.. I had Penny even check the fridge and the freezer!
We could not find out where the sound.. like a POP, Bang... When I
came back into the kitchen from finding LB there was some white stuff
looked like pillow stuffing on the floor in front of the fridge.. Guess what
the sound was from? You will NEVER guess. Penny and I were both
surprised when we found the source :-)

When she opened the fridge door.. I had a can of biscuits in there..It
had exploded...Opened right up.. WHAT A mess!! I WAs glad Penny
was still here ! :-) There was dough everywhere! I know its not been
that long since we bought that cuz Ive been making some doughnuts
with it.. Biscuit dough makes WONDERFUL doughnuts.. Well she
checked the expiration date and it said JAN.2010..It was out of date!
I had been warned about Village Market not taking their out of date
stuff OFF the shelves..This proves it...I told Penny from now on to make
SUPER sure that everything she buys from that store she checks that.
Steve next door warned me long time ago..about that store doing that.
But NOW we have proof! Nothing we can do about it..but..check the
dates.. That was our excitement for the day..

At least I HOPE that's ALL of it.. I noticed the pool house has put up a
stockade fence around the pool :-( now I wont be able to see the kids
playing.. :-( Rats.. I was hoping they would put up a chain link... but this
is privacy with a capitol P......It looked like a nice pool...... lucky ...

Well Penny is back from the store and we are Both ready for lunch..
She got some of that Pan Pasta from Red Baron, thought I would
try it.. So.. that means this GORGEOUS WEEBLE is gonna post
this and EAT ;-) Y'all remember though.. I shall return! Y'all stay
cool now. :-)

~2 Hands~

Beautiful warm sunny day today..And I have no plans at
all other than to write this.. And find some lunch of course.
This is all I do every day.. not accomplishing a lot am I..
I know there Is a lot I could do but with my hands not
working at all, theres not a lot I can do..Right now most
of my fingers on both hands are sound asleep . My arms
ache up to just above the elbow.. I am beginning to wonder
if I am resting my arm on the arm rest wrong, maybe on a
nerve or something..I cant figure it out.. but they ache and
are NOT trustworthy.. I use both hands to hold my coffee,
just in case.
I saw Joe and Carl and Joyce out side awhile ago.. They
got Joe's pontoon out of the garage..Its a HUGE boat..
I bet its 30 foot long at least.. Joe ran escort while Carl
drove the truck hauling the pontoon.. Was dangerous..I
saw how that boat tipped from side to side with every
bump they hit..and my driveway is pretty smooth..But
I had to gasp as I saw that boat tip way over and almost
falling off the trailer...Not good.. I hope they made it ok..
My landlord lives down the road on the lake.. Lucky dog..

4 kitties came running up to the door, they were out there
patiently waiting for me.. I got up at 730, and right now I
am so tired already I could take a nap.. Which I am very
seriously thinking of doing..After I have my left over fish
from yesterday.. It was really good..

Well not a lot going on and I am doing ok.. so far..:-) so
I guess that means its time for this GORGEOUS WEEBLE
to close this and do something.. well taking a nap is doing
something!! :-) Remember I shall return! :-)

~New Yard Addition~:-)

I have new addition out in my backyard.. My nerw birdhouse!
Within just a few hours there were birds checking it out.. I have
asked Penny if she would paint it white for me and one of these
days she will.. I think it would look nicer painted... The pole is
metal which is why I had to call that dig place... They came out
right away too.. There were no hidden things in the ground though.
This place used to be a green house years ago..That's why there
are 2 long narrow strips of concrete out there..I wish there WAS
a green house here , I could have a great time in one.. they are
higher than the ground, the places for the bedding plants. Ines
has a nice little green house that Raife made for her.. Its just
wonderful..They have fresh veggies ALL year long!.. Ines has
2 green thumbs.. she has flowers EVERYWHERE ! :-)Not to
mention all the veggies...But I LOVE my yard.. :-)
Penny came today and we are all clean.. I didn't get up till late
so she fed the outside AND inside kitties today.. The girl and
the black faced black and white kittie were waiting as ususal..
The black and white one is a male.. Penny checked them both
out.. The black and white is a lovey too just like the girl.. I think
if Penny could have her way she would take them both ! She
has a lot on her plate ahead of her, she plans to move and in
June she is planning to marry Mike.. So shes got a lot going on..
Plus she has the 2 dogs.. and they do get along with cats but
these 2 here we don't know how they get along with dogs.
Our weather is doing a massive heat wave according to the
weather man.. All this week its sposta be really nice..up in the
high 80's even 90's...I may have to turn on the AC! That I am
NOT ready for..My gas bill hasnt even come down hardly at
all..neither has my electric.. and If I have to turn on the AC..my
electric WONT come down! :-(
We are having fish today. Becky was telling me how great the
fish were that SHE caught.. She loves to fish.. Donnie said she
gets MOST upset if she runs out of night crawlers :-) I never
did like using live bait.. well shrimp I didn't mind.. What we didn't
use for bait we took home and ate.. :-)
Picture for his records :-)

We are having catfish today with fries.. Not too many like fish
at Pennys house so we have fish here ! Works for me! I told
her to go fishing at Donnies! She wants some fresh fish too!
I like fish..always have.. but its just gotten really expensive. :-(
Its a nice day and this GORGEOUS WEEBLE is gonna enjoy
it.. I hope its nice by you too :-) Post time!! But! I WILL return!

~Up Early~ :-)


I got up early today and I'm kinda glad.. Its a beautiful day,
sunny and I think as the day goes on its sposta be quite nice.
The boy phoned last nite about 530 or so..he was sposta
come up after work... He said he and Becky were fishing..
I told him to just enjoy his time there and relax, fish and he
could come up tomorrow after they get home from church.
He needs some relaxing time at home and putting up a
bird house and filling a birdbath isnt THAT important ..his
having some relaxing time is.. I worry that hes burning his
candle at both ends AND the middle.. He said the fish were
really biting.. His lake is known for its great fishing.. blue
gill and perch I think..the good eating kind :-)
I got a great photo of the blue jay didn't I? Hes so pretty.
Well I say HE, but I don't know.. I didn't look to see if there
is any difference or how you can tell the male from the
female bluejay... I can tell the difference in the cardinal..
well doves, too I cant tell on them either :-) Theyre all pretty.
But I was most pleased with these 2 today.. I just happened
to have the camera set up cuz I had just seen the hummer
and was waiting to see if he would come back..And Jay
decided to land there.. I think he was just wanting some
of that cat food that's out there.. The birds really like it !
I noticed the work on the neighbors pool is going along
quite nicely..Looks like a big one.. In ground too.. If you
look closely you can see the ladder coming out of it.. I
had looked out to see how my impatients were doing that
Penny planted out there and they are doing really well..
They look nice..In a short while that whole thing will be
full and should look really good... My lillies are smelling
so wonderful.. I wish I could bring some inside.. I could...
but I would have to make sure that I could see them at
all times and make sure I hid them In a cabinet when
I went to bed. Dutch would eat them if I didn't.. :-)
I'm still working on my computer and I am waiting to hear
from Adam.. Hes really smart and I'm hoping he can
tell me how to fix it and get rid of the viruses.. It will let
me in.. but I cant run anything..I get so many warnings
that the whole screen fills up if I do try to even just open
anything.. I am wondering about going in on safe mode
if that might work.. I have the 2 books ..the one 'PC's
for Dummies and Computers for Dummies'.. they are
VERY good books to help you.. I still havent found a
part in them to help me yet though but I'm still looking..
I miss that puter I'm used to it..plus all my photos are
there AND my printer is hooked up to it.. and my DVD
player is in it.! I gotta get it fixed..

I guess the boy didn't go to church today and my phone
just rang and he said "Gran ,we are on the way, I love
you, bye" and hung up :-) He will be here shortly.. So..
this GORGEOUS WEEBLE is gonna post this early
and wait for them to get here.. Remember.. I will be
back tomorrow !! :-) Happy Sunday!

~Birds Aint Scared~


I was watching a movie yesterday afternoon when we got a warning
across the bottom of the TV that said 'tornado watch'. Which doesn't
mean one is out there, just that its possible and the storm with it could
do damage.. So I decided to go out to the kitchen and watch the storm
as it got here.. It was just raining lightly and a tad windy, not bad.. I
listened to the thunder and saw the faint lightning flashes and the storm
wasn't close, I didn't think.. the birds were still out there eating and flying
around..The wind got stronger and as I sat there I saw the line of rain
that was coming my way.. It was like a chorus line of dancers stomping
their feet in water as they danced across the lawn, my driveway and by
the time that line of water dancers got to my roof it was like a thundering
bunch of animals that you hear on TV.. The birds were STILL out there...
They werent afraid at all.. Here I am, and these 2 cats and we are kinda
scared! :-)
The crows were still out there fighting over the corn, the little brown guys
and even the doves.. They still wobbled around the yard, even with the
thunder and lightning!.. I was surprised to see that..Made me feel kinda
stupid for being scared :-) The hummer is back.. and hes super fast this
year. Penny saw him yesterday..By the time I get the camera up he's
moving so fast from side to side I cant get a good photo ! He sat on top
the hanger for awhile but by the time I got the camera on, the flash shut
off and the zoom up hes gone! That's the problem! Too much to do to
get the camera ready.... THEN you have to push the button down part
way till the lines show green so you know its in focus!! Well if I don't
have my glasses on.. I cant tell !!! Then when I download the photos I
see they WERE otta focus,, I know.. I have MORE problems hey? :-)

Anyhoway.. Donnie called last night and he has to work today but he
said he would come up after work to put up my new birdhouse. :-)
I had to call some DIG place to make sure there are no gas lines
or what ever that he could damage when he puts the pole in the
ground.. He remembers a friend that was using a back hoe and no
one called the dig place to find buried gaslines or cable..Well that
scooper hit a gas line and the driver was hurt pretty bad.. the back
hoe was destroyed when that line exploded...So Donnie is super
careful when he puts stuff in the ground.. I have flags all over the
yard out there.. :-) They came right away which was most Im-
pressive... I wouldn't think just a pole for a birdhouse would need
to go that deep but.. well best NOT to take chances.. I hope he
will clean off the grass from that slab of cement while hes out
there :-) He said he would pick up some sand for the new bird
bath.. I hope he doesn't forget and I hope hes not real late.. I
tend to slow WAY down in the afternoon.. :-)

With all that said I'm gonna post this and make a roast beef
and Swiss sandwich for my lunch.. This GORGEOUS WEEBLE
is a tad hungry... and that sounds good.. Penny picked up some
roast beef at the store yesterday.. Time to post.. but remember..
I shall return !! :-)

~Kelli's Birthday Today~

Today is my honeygirls birthday.. She is 24...Kelli is a sweet
girl.. I guess I should say woman.. Shes gonna have her 2nd
baby in November..This is Alex's mom.. Donnies daughter..
Shes done a lot with her life.. Shes gone to college, has a
great job, is married, and they bought their own house, and
now come the kids... Shes doing it in the right order.. Some
young women have the babies, then find a good dad THEN
the house and all the trimmings come later.. Kelli I am proud
to say has done it all according to Hoyle as they say :-)

That photo is of Kelli with her Papa..Willie, my 2nd hubby.. It
was the day they brought her home from the hospital and right
to me.. :-) Donnie and Kimmie (Kellis Mom) had lived with
Willie and I till just before Kelli was born.. They bought a nice
new mobile home, in a trailer park.. When Kelli was born we
thought it best that Kimmie stay with us till she got on her feet,
about 2 weeks..till Kimmie was ready to go back to work..
From that day on.. until I moved from Elkhart in 89 I think.. I
had Kelli at my house every day...She was MY DOLLY, a
real baby doll.. Look at the photo.. isnt she? She still is...and I
still call her that.. and she don't mind a bit :-) Happy Birthday
Dolly.:-) Gran Loves You :-)

I had hoped the nice weather would stay but woke up to rain
today.. Penny made it and has gotten us all clean again.. We
were kinda sloppy but not too bad.. I try to keep up on things.
And I can do dishes, its just hard.. The floors are whats the
hardest for me...I'm finding I cant reach the floor at all.. I havta
use my grabber, specially if its something flat like a coin or a
piece of paper.. My fingertips don't even reach the floor..I
have short arms.. I wasn't very tall anyway before .. I usta be
5 feet 4 inches tall.. That's not THAT big.. and Ive always had
short arms..long fingers..good piano playing hands I used to
always be told.. :-)

Dawn's piano, Donnie said, is up for sale.. Id LOVE to have it..
My cousin June taught piano the whole time I was growing up.
I did her ironing every Monday night after school I would walk
to her house with her son, Bobby, he and I were great buddies.
He was well is.. hes alive and well, I hope, up there in God's
country the UP of Michigan.. June, bless her heart is in her
90's.. and still going strong.. As much as I LOVE the piano
and I would LOVE to learn how to play, I have a keyboard..
But I don't know why I never asked June to teach me to play
the piano.. I cant afford to buy it but I sure would LOVE to have it!!
Donnie just wants it out of his house! I'm hoping she will let me
store it for her :-) I have a good spot in the living room.. Id have to
re arrange but It could be done.. and worth it if I could get a piano..
A keyboard is good-but this is an old upright pianol..Like my grandmother
had..Id LOVE to learn how to play BOTH hands.. I can one hand..and
I CAN read music..but I cant get my left had to work well play
right...:-) I played clairinette for 6 years in school...


Well playtime now is finding some lunch.. I have NO idea what
but I never seem to have a problem finding something ..THAT
may be the problem!!! :-) Time to post and hopefully this
GORGEOUS WEEBLE will find something for lunch :-)
Remember.. I shall return!! :-)

~Unexpected Guests~ :-)

I had 2 unexpected visitors for breakfast outside this morning! I
was so shocked that I totally spaced out getting the camera so I
could document what I saw.. :-) I had already put food out cuz the
black and white kittie of course was waiting for me..He left and
I was sitting at the table and saw something BIG out there.. I
moved to open the door and when I did there was this HUGE
DOG looking right dead in my face.. we were EYE LEVEL !!
and the dog was standing out there, NOT on the step either !!
It was a massive DOG!!

I looked around and I saw this little beagle dog..he ate every bit
of cat food out there.. and the big dog let him.. he ate some but
the beagle got more.. Both dogs were very skinny.. The big black
dog was a Great Dane.. he had a collar with tags on it .. I saw it
on his neck.. But if both of these dogs just escaped for a few
hours runabout.. well they are NOT well fed.. But then again ..Who
knows how long they have been on the loose.. I looked in the
paper to see if there were any ads about missing dogs..but I
didn't see any.. As big as that Dane was.. he was HUGE!! and
SO BEAUTIFUL.. I sure woulda like to have kept him!! I could
stay in my manual chair and let him pull me !! I know Jerky usta
just pull me all over when I held onto him..

I hated to see how skinny that little beagle was, he ate that food
like it was the last he was gonna get..its a shame.. I hope they
just escaped.. but if their owner is at work they may not know it
and these 2 dogs could go to Ohio by the time they got home..
Maybe they arent lost but cruising the neighbor hood.. I hope so
anyway.. The boys saw the dogs.. LB growled..and Dutch .. he
saw that big black dog..his back arched and he was gonna go
after that dog.. He was ready to charge the door.!. I think the boys
are kinda fed up with all the critters outside that MOM pays
attention to is making them jealous. Well you know how kids
are....lol...

The beautiful little face up there is my great great niece Addisyn.
She was born on the 5th.. so she is ..15 days old..ok..2 weeks..
Isnt she a beauty? Beauty runs in the family..:-) Its her first pony
tail.. She has so much hair!! And I think she looks just like her
gramma.. and Bev is a beauty too..well so is Amy, her mom..
Amy is a lovely beautiful woman.. she couldn't help but have a
beautiful little girl :-)... AND look at her GORGEOUS WEEBLE
Great Great AUNTIE !! :-) We is ALL beautys :-)


Well with all that braggin I need to post this for today...Its a
beautiful day and gonna stay for a day or so..HOPEFULLY..
I have no plans till tomorrow when Penny comes..her not
coming yesterday has thrown me off .. I woke up not sure
WHAT day it was !!! :-) Don't really matter I guess as long
as I woke up and can enjoy it ! I feel better today and I'm
sure glad.. I hope those dogs didn't scare off my kitties...
Time to go .. Remember... I shall return!! :-) have a good
day! ;-)

~Nice Day~ :-)


Beautiful day today and I'm most pleased...When the weather is
nice I think everyone just feels better.. A nice warm rainy day is ok
once in a while..we all need to just stay inside every so often just to
relax or get stuff done at home.. Both working its hard for people to
find time to just be alone together, which they need... Yet sometimes
they need the separation too...Just to enjoy their own space you might
say ..:-) I like time just to myself... Before when I could do stuff I would
sit and imagine how wonderful it would be not to have to go to a job
every day, doing the same thing over and over..Yet its just what I'm
doing here, now.. I do the same routine day after day..I should NOT
complain.. as long as I still CAN do the same thing and not LESS
and LESS every day!.... :-)

I had a huge sewing room before with hardwood floors.. material
all folded and on shelves all around the room.. Anything I wanted
to make I could..I had the material..I don't think I ever had as much
as my sister Shirley though.. She has ALOT.. I think if she sewed
every day ..all day for the next 20 years she would NOT run out
of material.. :-) I sometimes say she has more than Walmart :-)
But that's how sewers are.. Its maddening to be in the middle of
making something and find out you don't have something you
need.. I think that's with anything you try to make though..Whether
its clothes or food or whatever..You havta have ALL the supplies..

I still am looking for lumber..I have called so many places In this
whole of St.Joe county and no one has spare or left over..:-( I
have NO idea how much it would take to build a 8X10 foot deck.
There are lots of plans online that I have studied carefully, but a
good carpenter knows shortcuts how to cut costs.. The one I think
would be perfect doesn't seem that it would take a long time
to build or be that hard.. I would like a railing, just for safetys
sake.. I know it would NOT stop this power chair but I would
feel safer..

This power chair- I am VERY glad it has tippers on it.. I got up
last night and I wasn't paying attention ..as I started to go into
the hallway I was too far to the right and ran into the wall.. I
bent the joy stick I hit so hard.. I was on my usual speed too.
When I hit the wall it was so fast before I could stop I was
almost laying on my back ON the FLOOR! .. It really scared
me.. What if I had gone over backwards.. THAT woulda been
a REAL sight.. From now on when I get up during the night
I am gonna turn a light on , just to make SURE I don't do
that again... This was REALLY a close call.. My joystick is
really bent and the wall? well I will need a bit of plaster :-)
I don't turn a light on cuz the outside yard light is very
bright and lights it up in here.. Well its obviously NOT
enough light to keep me from running into the walls :-)
Plus turning a light on really wakes me up and then by
the time I DRAG my self on and off the potty THEN back
on to my bed..I'm WIDE awake! But after last nights run
in I think I might better turn a light on :-)


What this GORGEOUS WEEBLE is gonna do now is
turn on my microwave :-) to heat up some lunch.. I still
am kinda leary of eating too much- these past few days
have taken their toll.. But just because I feel better I
am NOT taking ANY chances of feeling BAD again :-)
So just a light lunch then I may just sit and watch my
back wonderful yard.. :-) But !!!! remember.. I WILL
return!! Hope y'all have a nice day !! :-)

~Travis Visit~


I woke to the sound of my phone ringing at 8:45 or so.. It was
Travis calling to tell me he would be by in 45 minutes. He knows
how I am about calling first.. He just left, so he stays and we talk
maybe for an hour half or so.. Hes a really nice guy.. Hes not very
old..mid twentys.. married and has a dog.. :-) We just talk and he
makes sure all is ok here for me.. We talked about being depressed
today and I mentioned to him that no one really can SEE that in
someone.. Most, I'd say 99% of the people that know me have NO
idea that Depression IS my major problem.. And its not really that
easy to control.. I try very hard EVERY day NOT to show it.. And
most that know me even say that they had NO idea I suffered from
it so severely.. that I ALWAYS seem happy...I have to.. If I didn't,
it would be too easy to slip into those dark unhappy places that
only a person suffering from this could know or really understand..

If I let my guard down, if I let even the smallest thing get to me.. If
I dwell on unhappy for too Long..It takes me even longer to get back
to that spot or place, I guess, that I am even half way happy again..
So the smiling, happy isnt really fake.. its my way I guess of dealing
with the unhappy.. And to be truthful.. I am NOT happy that my life
has turned out this way..that I am doomed for the remainder of my
days to never walk again.. and to suffer every day, since my mind
refuses to let go..being reminded that THIS is my life..And I have
NO choice but to make the best of it...I could let go.. but I wont.. I'll
hang on till I think the saying is "its not over till the fat lady sings"
Well with my voice the way it is.. THIS GORGEOUS WEEBLE
FAT LADY aint sung and may NEVER :-)

All joking aside.. Depression is a very serious thing and that is what
I think most disabled peoples major problem is...Of course crap, ick
weather don't help! I saw the weekly forecast.. it said by Saturday
our temperatures will be in the high 80's to possible 90!! That is
why so many get sick.. Today is cold and rainy and wet and damp
and a crap day.. Very dark gloomy one..These drastic ups and
downs in the weather are the major causes of the sickies now..

I do feel a tad better today, not the greatest but I'm rollin again.. I
have no other appointments now till Friday.. when Penny comes
back..I will just relax these next couple days and watch TV.. I did
watch the BCC channel last night.. news.. Scared me .. I aint
watchin the news anymore.. :-( Even the local is not good.. There
is a young 23 year old woman missing from around here, in the
township.. Went to get her mail.. and disappeared.. What is this
world coming to.. Our planet is falling apart..Worries me a lot..
Specially all the killings... scarey..

Soup time for this scaredy cat GORGEOUS WEEBLE though..
Tomato I think.. I do have some good Progresso chicken soup..
They make the best soup..Just like homemade.. I love all their
products..specially their Italian bread crumbs.. :-) I need to lay
it down for a few.. I hope its sunny where you are.. Send some
to me please :-) Time to go.. but remember.. I shall return!

~Cant Win~


Penny made it today and we are all set to go to Friday
before she will be back.. She made sure shes checked
everything and has pre prepared some food for me..like
peeling and cutting some potatoes..its really hard for me
to do..I still don't feel good today at all, but I had to get up
and move around some I was getting sore from laying on
my bed ! I cant win..

I got up yesterday for a bathroom call and I cant get up
and not look out the kitchen door to see if I might see
something new.. and I did.. The HUMMER is back! I
was SO glad to see him.. Penny made their juice up
last week and hung it up.. I had been wondering when
they would show up and if the WOULD show up :-) They
know a good place... just like all my outside critters..We
decided mondays is 'change the hummer juice day' :-)

Penny had a good time petting the little girl and the
white faced black and white kitties this morning.. She
got here before I got up so they were out there, patiently
waiting .. Penny is so tempted to take them home..I
think if she waits another month they will go with her no
problem at all.. I cant wait to get a deck out there, but I
have exhausted all my possible contacts or people to
call about donating lumber.. We have decided a 8 X 10
deck.. Would be perfect..

I am fading fast and I need to lay it down.. I only had
some tomato soup for lunch.. was plenty.. But I don't
want to eat too much for fear I will start the Urps again.
So.. this GORGEOUS, but still sick, WEEBLE is gonna
sign off for today.. Remember tho.. I shall Return!! :-)

~Early Post~

I'm posting this quite early as I don't feel worth a crap today..
I know I slept..but I also know I got up about a dozen times-
I was sick to my stomach.. I was gonna eat after I logged off
yesterday, but I didn't, I went to watch tv..About 2 I started to
get a really bad headache and decided to get on my bed.. I
fell asleep, I guess cuz when I looked at the time it said 4:30.
I still had a awful headache and my eyes hurt really bad.. Just
about 3 minutes of laying there my stomach did a flip and I
had to hurry up, feeling like ICK and drag my achy self into
my chair and rush to the potty.. I was sick as a dog!

That's such an expression.. do dogs get that sick?: :-) but
this went on.. ALL night.. I dragged my achy self back and
forth to the bathroom.. I am SO glad that I changed clothes
BEFORE I got on the bed that first time.. I put on a SILK
skirt.. and I slide so much easier when I am on silk.. I bet
every time I dragged myself back and forth on that bed I
patted myself on the back for changing skirts..

The nausea has subsided as LONG as I stay still.. I am
posting this now, and headed back to my bed.. I have some
soda crackers in there because I need to eat something or
I will get weak.. then its even harder to transfer..

Anyhoway.. I'm still a GORGEOUS WEEBLE, just sickly
today.. but its about time.. This icckyness seems to hit me
every few months for some reason.. I have NO idea why..
it can stop when ever its ready.. I'm tired of it I KNOW !
I hope YOU are having a nicer week end.. I will feel better
tomorrow when .. I SHALL RETURN! :-)

~I Feel Good~ :-)

Its a beautiful day today.. Not real warm, but sunny. All the
outside kids showed up for breakfast..except for the solid
black one..I don't see him very often..The little girl looked
like she slept under a porch or house, see the cobwebs
she has all over her head? I feel so sorry for these guys..
I hate to not feed them.. They all eat like I am the ONLY
one that feeds them.. I compare what these cats eat to
my 2 in here, I very seldom have to refil their dry food,
I do, every other day for sure, and I give mine a can of
moist, friskies is what they like .. every day and they
always have left overs..I give that to the outside ones..
And me? I feel pretty good ! :-) I say to that.."Thank
you Lord! " :-)
I think LB and Dutch KNOW they have food in their bowls
all the time, so they arent greedy or try to take from each
other.. They share.. Well except when it comes to treats.
Dutch will sometimes eat them all if LB eats too slow..
LB does spoil the boy.. They are NOT happy with the out
side kitties.. They don't want to even see them.. I put the
bench by the door so they could watch them and both of
them just walked away..Kids... :-)
I shut down yesterday right after I posted.. I was anxious
to see what kind of movies Starz has.. I was very
glad to see that most of them Ive NOT seen before ! I
like a good movie .. I just watched that Johnny Depp movie
From Hell.. It wasn't what I expected! It was VERY good..I
didn't KNOW they ever found out who Jack the Ripper was..
I didn't think he was really real ! According to that movie ..
he was Very real ! Get a chance to see it .. its most interesting.
I watched Monsters last nite.. Talk about a cute movie.. It was
as good as Finding Nemo.. I know .. these are kids movies,
but.. they are CUTE.. and they make me smile.. And me,....
well I'm tired of the blood and crime scene crap or all these
millionaires out there showing off .. Give me a cartoon :-)

Right now, this GORGEOUS WEEBLE is gonna give herself
some lunch ! I have some left over spaghetti sauce .. and its
ALWAYs better the next day.. My boy called me last night and
asked if I would like a birdfeeder or birdhouse..as he and Gary
are now making them too.. I said a house.. :-) It will be so nice
out there for all my critters.. NOW, if Carl will clear off the slab
and do the sidewalk.. and I get my new birdbath set up.. AND
my deck? WOW.. I will be MOSt happy !! :-) I gotta go..But
remember.. I shall return! Happy Weekend ! ;-)

~Happy Critters~ :-)


Carl came over this morning and finished fixing the pipe in
my closet.. I talked to him about my sidewalk..he said he
would see what he could do to maybe fix it .. well clean it
up.. It would look so nice out there if that slab of cement
was all degrassed and weeded.. then the little fences at
the corner.. and Donnie said hes made some nice bird
houses :-) I may bribe the kid with cabbage rolls for a bird
house :-) It would be so nice out there and im sure the
birds would like that.. :-) Gotta keep the critters happy!

I asked Carl about the ramp guy.. that lives across from
Him. He was a diabetic and had a stroke and that was all
it took.. . His place is now empty and his girl friend has
moved in with her daughter.. Carl was concerned about
the grass its already quite high..most cities will step in and
cut the grass if a yard is not kept up.. I guess the place has
gone back to the bank like lots of other properties ...Its so
sad the state this country is in.. Sure worries me..

I had to call Charter today.. From what I gathered my contract
ran out.. They said its up to ME to keep track of this and before
it runs out I am sposta make arrangements.. My bill I got was
for 325.oo.. I almost stroked out when I saw that.. I got on the
phone right away and called.. I now have a new contract for a
year at 126.48 a month for all 3.. I did change from HBO to
Starz.. HBO sucks..They never change their movies..and the
ones they show are old ones.. I HOPE Starz is better..

Penny came today and its really been busy here for HER! Well
me too.. On the phone and today was bill paying day...I wait
till I get them all in ... then I pay them..Penny has gotten a lot
done today Ive kept her busy.. :-) Shes done laundry, and made
spaghetti sauce AND cut up some potatoes for me since my
right hand is NOT working hardly at all.. I could barely hold the
pen to write my checks.. I don't pay on line.. too many have had
ID stolen doing that.. Penny has and so has my sister.. I'm not
taking any chances with the few dollars I have left over.. :-)

Well its lunch time and I am hungry.. I think Penny is too as busy
as shes been today! So.. that means its time for this GORGEOUS
WEEBLE to close this and start my week end! First though I
gotta remind ya I Will be back !! :-)

~Rain, Rain and MORE Rain~ :-(


At 5:18 this morning I was sound asleep.. both the cats were
right next to me..Suddenly my whole bedroom lit up, with a
loud Crack like sound,, then I hear the mean grumble of the
thunder. It sounded so loud and MAD! :-) Scared all 3 of us..
The boys ran for the closet, which I was glad to see.. I just
sat there.. It was just a loud mean thunderstorm going over.
With each flash of the lightning, count slowly between that
and the sound of the thunder and you can tell how far away
it is.. or if it IS moving away, and this one did.. It moved away
after about 10 minutes or so... But the rain kept on...

I did get up..I was awake now, plus had 2 scaredy cats whining
now too.. They HAte storms.. and both get very nervous and
LOUD.. They will roam and meow.. for quite awhile after the
storm passes.. Sometimes if they are awake and a storm starts
they know before and will start to pace the hall and whine..Drives
me nuts when they do that cuz they refuse to shut up.. you know
how whiney kids are when they want something.. :-)

When I did get up at 7:45, it was still raining, and its raining now
while I write this.. First thing I did when I woke up was lay there
and see if I had any new aches or pains.. With me, I never know!
My right toes, the baby toe and the ring toe HURT. When I
moved a certain way It would ease up...I don't know WHY my
head is so thick it cannot understand that the stinkin toe is
GONE !!! :-) I know I'm tired of it..

I have no plans for today and I'm glad. Next Tuesday is Pennys
birthday, 51.. she doesn't look it.. I didn't know what to give her
so, I gave her Wednesday off !! :-) She was VERY glad!! She
said that was great.. She has a tenant moving out Tuesday
and a new one moving in Wednesday will give her a chance
to get ready.. I think her boyfriend is making dinner for her too.
All the residents have chipped in to get her something too..
She will be here Monday and I will just stock up to last till Friday.
As long as the kids have food.. The white faced black and
white kittie waits out there every day for me :-) The little girl
kittie wants in here so bad.. she LOVES when Penny goes
out there and pets her.. Penny is very tempted to take her
home.. They are all beautiful cats.

Anyhoway.. this GORGEOUS WEEBLE is HUNGRY!! :-) So...
I'm gonna post this and make myself some lunch.. That beef
roast was SO good and I have plenty left over for today..The
gravy was wonderful.. So all that's left is to write here is my
"I shall return!" Hope you're having a sunny day!! :-) If'n you
want some rain I will gladly send !! :-)

~Carmel Corn ~ :-)


I'm miserable today. My eyes hurt to open them. I don't plan
to stay up for long.. Penny is here and we are all clean and
shes making a nice beef roast for me that will be good today
AND tomorrow too :-) Specially if I have the energy to make
fries to go with the good gravy I know that roast is gonna make.
I need to remember to ask Penny to change out the grease in
my deep fryer though.. I made some breaded onion rings that
sure messed up the oil in my deep fryer.. I have a really nice
one that has a lid so it doesn't splash all over...I usually only
make fries in it but I wanted to try the onion rings they looked
SO good.. But sadly I couldn't eat them. Some, yes, but with
no bottom plate I cant eat anything hard.. I miss lots of stuff
specially popcorn.. I love Carmel corn.. :-)

Its another rainy damp cold day AGAIN.. and I sure can tell..
I have the worst headache and if my toes werent already gone,
as bad as they hurt- I would seriously consider cutting them
off myself.!. No. I wouldn't but that tells you how badly my right
stump is hurting.. I think this rain has a lot to do with it..

When Penny was here Monday I had her add 2 more comforters
to my bed and then the sheepskin.. Let me tell you .. It HELPS!
And ALOT! Only way it could be improved is if the top comforter
was satin.. I could slide and move around a lot easier.. To move
on or off my bed is very strenuous.. My bed is a tad lower than
my power chair so when I back into it..it involves LIFTING as well,
not just the pulling myself backwards.. This transferring is NOT
easy.. I worry about that.. What if I did have some more heart
problems.. After my triple bypass I wasn't allowed to do anything
with my arms for 10 weeks ! :-(


Plus.. I will admit Ive gained weight.. Penny says "No.. not much,
if any".. But I know I have, I can tell.. Harder to reach certain spots
specially if you have short arms anyway :-) Gaining weight is a
major factor in transferring.. well more I have to lift or drag around..
To get off my chair and up to the side of the bed where I sleep in
volves at least 3 to 4 turns.. depending on what I have on.. and the
material.. Silk .. I slide a lot better.. But its NOT easy.. and to get
on or off I have to turn totally around.. :-) Joys of chair life :-)


Well I have to stop writing it does NOT help this GORGEOUS
WEEBLE'S sore eyes.. So I'm gonna post this, tell Penny bye
and wait for lunch to finish cooking then its relaxing on my bed
with hopefully a good movie on HBO.. which I doubt.. Just
remember.. I shall return! :-)

~Medium Works~ :-)

Another rainy dark DAMP day.. My furnace still comes on..I
don't know which I prefer the gas or electric bill being higher
or to be hot or cold :-) I really don't like being cold..cuz I can
put on enough clothes to get warm..plus blankets.. But to get
cool.. only thing is naked and then, if its still hot out..your gonna
sweat and give out because you cant get cool enough... :-)
Cant breathe cuz there is no air.. but which air is worse? Cold
Air, its hard to breathe too..hmmmm :-) A happy medium is
best :-) Thats how I try to keep it in here.. One steady temp.


When I first got to Houston, I had never heard of 'Air Cooled'
I thought at first it was opening the window and tying the
curtain in a knot.. :-) But its like what I tell a lot of friends to
do if they don't have or their air conditioner is broken.. Get
a fan and put it by a bowl of ice, so the air from the fan goes
over the ice first THEN on you.. :-) It works.. it helps a lot.

All these days of rain are giving me fits.. My right invisible
foot HURTS.. and I mean HURTS.. the toes especially.. I
can feel every one of them !! It hurts so bad, like it did last
night that it woke me up.. and no matter what I did I couldn't
stop it.. I changed positions, I waved it around and up and
down, nothing worked.. I just had to lay there and WAit for
it to decide to stop.. I held on to the end of my stump- like
trying to remind my BRAIN that "HEY! ITS NOT REALLY
THERE !" Well .. it did NOT work.. there is a disconnected
wire somewhere and I cant seem to fix it.. Joys of this
life.. no one told me this though..

I keep hearing they will STOP.. ok.. WHEN? :-) Its ...8 years
for me? 2001.. so.. 9 .. Jan/Feb..then Nov.. A friend of a
friend that is a dak.. from Burgers..disease tho.. said that
friends phantoms have stopped! Just a matter of how
long I guess.. I'm ready for them to stop.. For a while they
had REALLY eased up.. But lately.. theyre BACK! and
then I cant really remember when I didn't have them! :-)
So it cant have been that long of a time that they were
gone :-) I'm ready for them to be gone.. specially out of
my TOES!!! :-)

Well this GORGEOUS WEEBLE is ready to be gone too-
Out to my kitchen to get some lunch...I'm hungry :-)
I have leftover Cornish hen with dressing from yesterday,
its really good.. be even better today :-) Remember! -
I shall return! :-)
