~Gonna Do With That Ramp?~ hmmm :-)

Arent they pretty? What was waitin for me this morning :-)

It surprises me that no one has finished taking that willow tree
down that's over there across the street. Its been a couple weeks.
One guy came and I really cant tell what he did .. he left a mess!
The grass hasnt been cut either.. I heard that they let it go back to
the bank after the guy died.. I wonder what bank that they don't keep
up on the maintence, especially if theyre gonna try to sell it, which I
would think would be their objective. They cant want very much for it.
Its not a house, house, its a mobile home, a trailer..I cant tell if its a
double wide or not, I don't think so.. I wonder if they would wanna get
rid of that ramp? Its a nice one, it would work for me .. Id prefer to
have a landing and not just go down a ramp, that's not easy to do..
going out is ok.. but back in..is NOT easy on a slant..in a power chair,
doesn't matter, but a manual..to stop on a slant, and open a door,
that's not easy...
That's the problem I had at Keystone, I could get OUT the door but I
couldn't get all the way up that ramp and to open the door you had to
stop on the slope...not easy.. I told Doug about some of the faults
with that place.. I'm glad I got that visit with him over with.. I think,
just between you and me, that he was just being nosey.. said he
didn't remember me..HA! soon as he walked in I KNEW he did..:-)
Some of the stuff he said did NOT reassure me of the stability of
this grant, specially if they want us all to apply for section 8, which
is what Rebecca is filling out for me...and ALL her clients...

Well.. your gonna love this...:-) I figgured out why I can no longer
reach the floor when I lean forward.. :-) Know why? I got FAT! ;-)
It seems my stomach has expanded and NOW my arms are too
short and I cant reach the floor.. To even pick up the cat food
bowl is hard to do..:-) I have stopped eating any candy.. I hope
that helps..but I never ate that much before anyway.. But I have
to do something..THIS is NOT Good :-) Ive started doing a few
more exercises before I get out of bed in the morning too..I have
tried to do some at night. my stumpercizes :-) but by the time I
get on my bed, I'm ready to go to sleep.. :-) But I solved that
problem kinda sorta, well I found out the reason, lets say, that
my arms got shorter... :-)

My boy came by last night, totally exausted... He looked worn out.
Its been so hot here, the heat factor is way over 102..He works
with NO air conditioning, he doesn't even have it in his truck ! I
told him to go home and to jump in the lake.. Take his clothes off
or at least his wallet out of his pocket and head for the water..:-)
Hes been doing that.. The heat has been just terrible..I am so glad
I have this central air..First ive ever had it and it sure beats a window
unit... I gave my window one I had at the little house to Donnie , he
has it in his bedroom so at least he and kittie sleep cool :-) His cats
name IS Kitty, shes a siamese..No wonder they get along :-) Penny
made pastys yesterday and of course one for Donnie, he was most
pleased to get it.. Said John was at his house, he just got back
there, so he was stopping on the way home and eating his :-)
No plans for today, which is ok.. I'm ready for some quiet time..This
has been a most hetic week..something EVERY day it seemed..I
don't expect anyone here till Monday.. I might try to work on my
PC and then I may wait till tomorrow.. :-) I dunno.. I do know its
post time for this GORGEOUS WEEBLE .. 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...

    Going to help train new staff tonight on Becky, been awhile since I've done that...they will have to do all the work and me the talking...sure can't strain myself again...
    The main staff got sick and the other is new herself and trying to train one that never had any traing at all...what a mess that can be with trying to learn 4 clients that all have big problem...
    God bless you Lois.
