~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!! :-)

Always, Lois ****

"God Bless You" is my prayer today,

I'm honored to call you 'friend'.

I pray the Lord will keep you safe,

Until I write again...
