~Joyce Visit~ :-)

Joyce came and cut the grass this morning.. When she saw me

in the door way she stopped the mower and we talked for a few

minutes.. I asked her if the birdhouse was in her way, she assured

me it wasn't a problem to cut around it.. She thought we had put

some grass killer out there on that cement.. its covered with some

stuff that has fallen from that pine tree out there...Its the messiest

kinda tree there is next to a weeping willow tree..This stuff on the

ground I think is what was covering the new pine cones that are

growing and next to cover the ground out there.. I told her to go

right over it and blow it off :-) She did..

Joyce told me the guy in the ramp house across the street from

her did pass away.. She also relayed some info about her brother.

Hes 72 and just had his leg amputated above knee.. Poor circulation.

Like me... She said he is doing ok but has some serious heart

problems.. He had his first heart attack at 35.. I had my first one when

I was 42...I had my triple bypass at 55..Too young.. I hope he does

ok..This sure isnt an easy life..Not when you are up in age and have

to deal with this.. Younger I honestly think its much easier to handle

and deal with...

I know of quite a few daks.. all different ages..and of course the

young women are more active that some one in their 50's, 60's

or older..But I think the older are more easily to accept this happening

to them and able to deal with it better..The young see it as YEARS

and YEARS of dealing with this.. which us being older .. I only have..

well hopefully at least 20 more years to deal with it ! I hope I live that

much longer.. I worry sometimes though having lost 2 sisters already.

But ..time marches on.. and all I can do is hope I'm in for the LONG

haul :-)

I slept ok last night and to that this GORGEOUS WEEBLE says

"THANK YOU LORD!"... I bet I say that at least 20 times a day..

I try to at least a few times when I manage to do something that

is kiinda hard or tires me out.. It seems to keep me going :-)
Specially when the pain stops. Trust me ...that is the VERY first

thing I say..:-)


Time for me to post this and get some lunch.. I think I may make

a sizzler steak sandwich.. Penny went to Meijers yesterday, before

coming here and got some hoagie rolls.. Some sauteed onion..

and maybe a slice of Swiss cheese.. Sounds good to me ! Post

time ...First ...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...
