~Messy Yard~ :-(

My back yard is full of pine cones. I am

wondering who is gonna pick them up. I

doubt if Carl will cut the grass any time

soon, and all those out there look so

ickky and just plain sloppy. I sure don't

like that tree at all. If this was MY house

I would call my friend Julio to come and

cut it down. Its messier than a willow tree

and they are super messy too..When they

bloom they are a total mess. They are a

lot more beautiful tree but can give you

a lot of problems specially with the root

systems. I learned all this tree stuff while

I was married to my 2nd hubby.

When we moved from Texas to Indiana, he

started a tree service. A most successful

one too I might add. We stayed busy. I

did all the phone work and scheduled all

the tree work. At one time we had 6 men

that worked for us. 2 were climbers and

2 were the cut men and the others did

the ground work, which in reality the

ground work, or clean up is what made

the biggest impression. Leave a mess

behind and you could lose a lot of work.

I went sometimes to help, I could drag

brush, I never used a chain saw, they

scared me. Willie was gone to Florida

and left me in charge of all the guys.

One of the jobs was to take out a stump.

Julio was gonna do the work, I was to

do the clean up and raking.

Julio was using a wedge and a big hammer

and when he hit the wedge a piece of it, it

was all metal, a piece flew off and hit me

right in my left eye. A quarter inch of it

and it went thru my eye 1 mm. from the

center or I would have been totally blinded.

The piece of metal had a barb on it, like

whats on a fish hook, so when it went thru

it tore the lens off of my eye. I have no

focus and can only see colors or outlines

of things. Ive had 4 surgeries on it. This

happened in 85.. I'm now considered

blind in my left eye..

Learning to do everything all over again

was not easy.. Cover one of your eyes

and try to do something. You have NO

depth perception at all.. I was scared

to drive for a long time, but I adjusted,

I only ran into a few things. I still run

into stuff with this chair because of

that..If you could see my door facings

or hallway corners you can see the dings

and paint knocked off..:-)

My nurse is due today but I have no

idea what time, I hope its not late I'm

kinda tired today I didn't sleep good

last night again. I didn't have Penny

fix anything for today so I'm gonna

havta cook something, what, I have

no idea, I'll find something I always

do.. In the meantime, I am still a

most GORGEOUS WEEBLE.. and

I'll try to be back tomorrow.. Keep

well and God Bless...

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...

~Cats Are Mad~

Fuzz and Tigger don't get along for

some reason. They were out there by

the garage for the longest time just

glaring at each other. I was hoping

they wouldn't get into a fight cuz

there was just no way I could break

it up. Tigger walked off and gave

Fuzz the meanest look, good thing

looks don't do any damage. :-)

There are some big black birds out

side that have almost taken over the

feeder platform, cuz of the corn. The

chickadees don't mind them at all,

but the bluejay gets so mad and will

dive bomb them till they leave and he

can eat some of the corn! These birds

are so interesting to watch. Penny fed

them really good yesterday and you can

tell when she does cuz they swarm out

there. Dutch loves when there are a lot

of birds, I bet he can almost taste them

he wants them so bad.
I have no plans for today and I at least

KNOW its Tuesday. :-) I felt so stupid

yesterday thinking it was Sunday. I had

been watching the calendar cuz the 28th

was Raifes birthday. So today, I had to

write and tell him I had a few minutes of

stupid yesterday and missed his day. He

understood that happens to us as we get

older. Why its affecting me though I don't

understand, I'm a YOUNG weeble..I refuse

to get old.. age is only numbers anyway.
When the sun hits them, they are almost irridescent...

David, my 3rd hubby was 20 years younger than

me and we got along great, till the end that is.

We both liked to fish which was a biggie with

David, he fished all year long, I refused to

ice fish, it scares me silly walking on ice. I

used to go with him, but sat in the car, except

for one and only one time......

I did go out on the ice to him, He had

gone ahead since I said I didn't wanna go. The

longer I sat there and watched him out there

all by himself I felt guilty and decided I could

do it this one time. I got out of the car, and

walked over to the edge of the frozen water.

As I took a step, I looked up and just kept my

eyes on him so as not to look down at the

ice..Needless to say my heart was pounding.

I got about a fourth of the way out there and

I start hearing this "CRACKKKKK" with each

step I took.

I got brave and looked down and saw this,

what seemed HUGE to me, crack in the ice

right under my feet.!. I yelled to David "The

ice is cracking!!!" He yelled back "don't

worry it does that, it wont break.. I stood

there for a moment then dropped down

to my knees and decided I would crawl

the rest of the way out to him.. I got a

few more feet and heard the same

"CRACKKK".. I immediately threw up,

stood up and ran like crazy back to

the car..That was my one and only

time I ventured out onto the ice.:-)

Well I'm hungry and I'm having some

left over roast beef and gravy. It was

so good yesterday. I may make a few

French fries so I can put that good

gravy on them.. I KNOW that will be

good. If you have never tried fries

with gravy on them you don't know

what your missin :-)

So this GORGEOUS WEEBLE is

signing off for today, maybe I will be

back tomorrow, depending if I have

any news..Keep well and God Bless.

Always, Lois ****

~New Photo~

This is a photo Penny took to check out

my new camera, it didn't turn out too bad,

and of course that's Dutch there by me..

So I thought I would share it, just please

don't take it and post it anywhere, I would

be most upset...:-)

I was sitting at my computer in the

living room this morning, and the door

opened and scared the daylights out

of me. It was Penny.. I looked at her

and told her "you scared me, what are

you doing here today?" She looked at

me like I was nutz.. and I guess I was!
She says, "I'm sposta be here today it

IS Monday you know". I was shocked

and just about called her a fibber, cuz

I honestly thought today was Sunday!


I think I'm really losing it here! I even

sent a "Happy Sunday" email to lots

of my friends! They must ALL think

I'm looney tunes! :-) I cannot believe

that I lost track of days like that, I

wonder if I'm going nutz? :-) I lost

a whole day! No wonder Cops wasn't

on last night... I'm getting bad..Its

gotta be the drugs :-)

Its a nice day today, sunny but not real

warm..not warm enough for me to have

the door open. But I feel pretty good. I

slept really bad last night again, waking

up every few hours, I sure hate when I

do that, then I'm tired all the next day.

But I feel ok...

Penny got us all clean and went to the

store for me. Shes got me a nice beef

roast and its in the oven, with brown

gravy on it. Then she mixed up some

cream corn and its baking. Some call

it scalloped corn, I just call it baked

corn. I just add an egg and bread

crumbs, salt and pepper and then put

dabs of butter on top.. Make sure the

dish is buttered too or it will stick to it

and its hard to wash, well, unless you

soak it first. But its VERY good and

I also use Progresso Italian bread

crumbs.. They are the best and very

tasty, its the only kind of crumbs I

use as its got all the seasoning already

in it..Its great for meatballs too..

Well, I'm out of news for today so I'm

gonna go send an apology to everyone

I sent the happy Sunday to, so they don't

think I am a total idiot.. :-) I'm still a

GORGEOUS WEEBLE though and I

will try to be back tomorrow, I appreciate

it that you understand that I don't post

everyday.. Life is a tad dull here so there

really isnt a lot to write about..:-) But

Keep well and God Bless.. :-)

Always, Lois****

"God Bless You" is my prayer today,

~Not Lotsa News~

Not a lot to write about today as I am just

mainly watching the birds or playing with

my old computer.. I am SO pleased she

is up and running...:-) I saw 2 of the doves

up on the feeding platform by the corn. I

don't think Ive ever seen them up there

before. They stayed up there a long time..

The fat robin was up there too! As fat as

she is I bet she will be glad when she lays

her eggs! I don't know when they do.. I

know the chickadees are preparing the

birdhouses, they are steady going in and

out with stuff. Those starlings are so mean

and steady try to get inside, I saw one

reach in and take the nesting stuff out and

fly off...I'm so glad I can watch these birds.

I may have to get a new birdbath cuz one

of them broke, the one by the platform.

It broke when that branch from the tree

fell on it.. Pennys been looking cuz she

wants one for her house. Donnie is

gonna make her a birdhouse.
Kay was sposta come by today, but I

cancelled the appointment. I just didn't

want company and wanted a quiet week

end.. Penny made some killer spaghetti

sauce and now I have to decide what

kind of pasta do I want..that's a tough

decision.!..
I feel pretty good today and I'm really glad.

I slept better last night and only woke up

one time to potty. Heidi increased my

zanax to double. they were only .5mg

and that's not very strong. The increase

seems to help and I'm sure glad, I think

sleeping better is making me feel better.

I want to sew so badly and I may try to

tomorrow.. Kirsten wants an apron, why,

I have no idea,but Gran will make sure

she gets one.
I called my boy today, Donnie had to work

part of the day and the rest of the time he

is gonna work on his yard.. I tried to bribe

him with cabbage rolls if he came up and

did mine.. Didn't work.. :-( I just want my

sidewalk edged and that cement slab out

there edged, it would look so much better.

A lot neater. I think he might do it just to

surprise me.. I'm hoping he will surprise

me with a deck ! Hes going to put up a

fence at Kelli's around the back yard, a

chainlink.. Just to keep the kids safe

and the dog. So maybe after he gets

that done he will come up here..

Well..I'm getting hungry so I'm gonna

go see what kind of pasta I want, I

have about 4 different kinds..:-) Well,

ya gotta have a variety so you don't

have the same thing over and over.!.

I'm gonna close for now, and I will try

to post tomorrow, hope you have a

great week end, remember now ,,

I'm still a GORGEOUS WEEBLE!!

Keep well and God Bless...

~Fixed My Puter~

Fat Robin hey? She needs to lay some eggs I think :-)

I finally got rid of the bug in my other

computer.!. I tried using a cd virus remover

a dear friend's son sent me but I couldn't

get it to work. So what I did was go back

to a restore point and it works just fine

again.. I'm so glad cuz now I can use my

printer again.. THAT pleases me a lot. I

bet the ink is probly dried up by now tho.

I sent Kirsten a baby doll dress that a dear

friend sent to me and she phoned me as

soon as she opened it, Donnie said.. She

was so excited and loved it.. She asked

me if I was gonna send another and I told

her yes, on Wednesday.. She didn't want

to wait.. Donnie got on the phone and made

me promise NOT to tell Kirsten when I am

sending her stuff cuz she nags Donnie

constantly "Did I get any mail papaw?"

She is so smart and I have not seen her

but once when she was only about a year

or so.. She is so pretty and looks just

like her mother did when she was that age.

She has the biggest blue eyes. and she is

very excited about having a baby brother.

She wants him NOW.!

My nurse, Heidi is on the way and I'm glad

shes coming earlier today and not at 3 like

last week.. That's just too late for me.. I'm

hoping my oxygen level is ok or she will

yell, well not really, but she will remind me

to use it more often...not just at night..On

Saturday, Kay, the social worker is sposta

be here, not sure what time..she will call

me first.. Its one of my rules..wanna come

see me, fine, but CALL FIRST.. If I am not

expecting anyone and theres a knock or

the doorbell rings, I wont answer it.. Its

rude to not call first.. Only one gets away

with not calling first is my sister..she likes

to surprise me.. :-)

Time for lunch and I have some left over

meat pie, it was so good I almost ate every

bit of it yesterday. I'm glad I saved some

for today, it will be even better.. So I am

closing this; BUT remember- I am STILL

a most GORGEOUS WEEBLE and I'll

be back, keep well and God Bless..

~3 of my GREAT Grandchildren!~

3 Of my GREAT GRANDS.. Alex, baby Andrea and Kirsten...
arent they beautiful.. This is a proud Gran here.. :-)

Not a lot going on today. We were under a

winter storm watch last night but its gone

north of us, so we were spared..I'm glad..

Snow would be so depressing, I'm looking

forward to spring. I do need some yard

work done that's for sure..My sidewalk

needs edged and my peonies need to be

cut, the dead ones from last year. I sure

wish I had a deck out there but I don't

think it is possible..just too expensive.

Penny is here today and made a meat pie

for me, Its in the oven and it smells just

wonderful.. She got us all clean and has

brushed LB, which he loves.. He purrs

like crazy when she brushes him. Dutch,

he doesn't care, hed rather play. The

batteries are dead in the lazer and he sure

misses that. My sister wanted to play with

him, she laughs so hard at him when he

chases the light. I had to give her a flash

light which works ok too..

Other than that, life here is dull..I'm not

doing too much of anything but watching

TV.. Tomorrow Heidi comes for my check

up.. Ive been using my oxygen so I hope

fully my count will be up..

Time to close for today and try some of

this meat pie.. Mary, I'm so glad you did

ok with your surgery..NO heavy lifting

now..I have a hernia about the size of a

grapefruit on my right side, but Dr said

unless it gives me trouble not to worry

about it.. It doesn't hurt, so I don't :-)

Remember I am still a GORGEOUS
WEEBLE, keep well and God Bless.

~Not Lots Happening ~

Not a lot to write about today. Penny came

and got us all clean and even made some

spaghetti sauce for me. I am gonna cook

some rotini later. I like those noodles.

Its a gloomy dark rainy day today and I,

well my stumps sure can tell.. They are

so achey it drives me nuts, but nothing I

can do about them. I talked to my new

Dr. about the phantoms and he said too

that they will never go away, since its

really in my head...If they could remove

that part of my brain that says I have legs

then I wouldn't have the phantoms. Some

days they are really severe then others

I don't have any. I can always tell where

my feet and legs are and I can even move

my toes one by one. I can move my legs

side to side, well invisible legs that is,

but I cant kick forward..strange...But I

wish they would go away..

Ive been using my oxygen and my head

ache seems to be easing up..My nurse

said that could be why I have one, with

my oxygen level so low.

Well I'm gonna go eat..I hope y'all had

a good week end. Remember I am still

a GORGEOUS WEEBLE .. Keep well

and God Bless....

~Nice Visit~ :-)

I had the nicest surprise yesterday ! My

sister and Stanley came by..We had such

a nice visit..It had been awhile since I had

seen her, they came when I was in hospital.

Shes been sick with bronchitis and didn't

want to give it to me. I sure didn't need it!

They are both ok, although my sister is

having a lot of trouble with her legs. She

cant stand very long. She has nuropsy.

Or however you spell it..

Her son, Steamer, as we call him,. hes

really Stanley Jr. he got frost bite on his

toes and is in the process of losing them

all. Hes in so much pain. I feel so sorry

for him. They want to amputate part of

his feet, hes very depressed. I sure can

understand how he feels..

Its been so nice the past few days but we

are sposta have thunderstorms this afternoon.

That's the only thing I hate about summer are

the storms..

My nurse came Thursday and did a oxygen test,

that thing they put on your finger to test it..Mine

is very bad..Normal is in the 90s..mine was 72.

I will have to use my oxygen all the time for

awhile.. I hate to use it at night and that's when

I really need it cuz of the sleep apnea, but this

machine is so noisy I cant stand it..My other

one wasn't as noisy as this one..when I got on

with the hospice they use a different company,

so I had to switch machines..

No plans for today but I feel pretty good.. They

changed my sleeping pills to zanax so I am

sleeping a tad better..I'm very glad.. Time to

close this and make some lunch..what, I have

no idea, maybe some pasta roni, its really good.

specially the angel hair pasta..

Remember I am still a most GORGEOUS
WEEBLE and I'll be back.. Keep well and

God Bless...

~Nothing To Do~

Its another beautiful day here and I have

no plans at all.. I sat and watched all the

birds while I had a cuppa tea this morning.

They all came by, even the cardinal, who

doesn't come here as often as he used to.

There are tons of robins out there, more

than Ive ever seen. The chickadees are

steady going in and out of the birdhouses.

The starlings are being really mean and

take the nesting stuff out of the birdhouses

and fly off with it. The chickadees get real

mad and dive bomb them. The doves are

here as well.. I counted 6 out there this

morning. Its surprising these birds come

by even when the cats are out there. I got

up at 6 this morning and Fuzz was waiting

for his breakfast..Hes such a beautiful cat,

he would be just gorgeous if he was brushed.

Other than writing this I plan to do nothing.I

cant watch any more of the films of those

poor people in Japan. I give them so much

credit. The way the people in New Orleans

acted after that hurricane compared to how

the people in Japan are is amazing. All they

did in New Orleans was cry and whine for

everyone to help them; the people of Japan

don't say anything and are already cleaning

up their towns, those that survived are not

waiting for anyone to help. Wonderful, proud

people. They are to be commended.

I feel pretty good today, not the greatest but

not bad either. I wish I could get even a small

dose of energy so I could do the things I want

and need to do. My kitchen is in need of a

good cleaning and stuff put where it goes.

Penny doesn't have enough time to do a lot

of extras with all she does already. One of

these days hopefully I will have some energy

and ambition.

Guess I'm done for today, I don't know what

I'm going to cook, Penny had too much to do

yesterday to cook anything. She is feeling

much better and I'm so glad, she was really

sick. She still has a cough but she feels ok.

I have some ground meat and I may make

a nice hamburger with sauteed onions. That

sounds good. Other than that I am still a

most GORGEOUS WEEBLE, sorry I missed

yesterday but I'm back and hopefully will be

back tomorrow. Yesterday I just didn't feel

good at all.. But anyhoway, keep well and

God Bless... Jesus loves you and so do I..

~Beautiful Day ~

Its a beautiful day here today. The temp

is sposta get up in the high 60's I have my

door open and the bench by it and of course

the cats love it. Dutch stays up there most

of the time. He likes watching the birds.
That pine tree out there has been dropping

pine cones like crazy and I thought they only

did that certain times of the year, not ALL

the time. Its such a messy tree to have in

your yard.. If this was my yard Id cut it down.

It belongs out in the woods. The other pine

out there with the long drapey limbs doesn't

shed at all.. In fact its a really pretty tree, I

like how the branches are..

Heidi is due today about 2. She goes over to

Fairview before she comes here. That's where

I was in rehab. I feel pretty good today except

for the fact my chest is hurting off and on.. I

had to take a nitro a while ago and its eased

up now. My cold is still lingering but I don't

sneeze near as much as I did before. My nose

is most grateful.. :-)

I don't know what I'm gonna make for lunch. I'm

not really hungry so maybe later I may make one

of those steakum sandwiches. Theyre pretty good

I like them with fried onions. So other that this I

have no plans for today..I might take a nap after

Heidi leaves, I didn't sleep good last nite, I think

I looked at the time every 2 hours... BUT I am

still a GORGEOUS WEEBLE and I'll be back!
Keep well and God Bless...

~My Cold is Worse~

I feel totally miserable today. My cold is

super bad. All I do is sneeze. I woke up

about 4am sneezing like crazy and could

not go back to sleep. As soon as I would

doze off I would sneeze.. I don't know if I

got a second dose of this from Penny

yesterday or not. Hers was more chest

congestion and coughing. I HOPE I don't

get that too! If shes not better tomorrow

she isnt coming. I don't think I could stand

feeling worse than what I do now!

I have some chicken soup in the pantry and

I'm gonna eat that and go and crawl up on my

bed for the rest of the day and hopefully feel

better.

So this is a short post for today. But, even tho

I have this cold I am still a GORGEOUS
WEEBLE and I will be back..Keep well and

God Bless...

~Dinkys Back~

Dinky is back. Hes been gone for a

month. I'm sure glad to see him.. Hes

such a sweet cat and so pretty. I wish

I could let him in and really take care

of him. I make sure he eats good when

hes here. Penny likes him too. Shes

afraid to take him home for fear he will

run off like Stinky did. He was such a

love. All of my outside kitties are sweet

cats. I wish I had my deck outside then

I could go out and spend some time

with them and watch the birds. They

are going crazy over the bird houses

They love them. Donnies gonna make

one for Penny too...
I was talking to a friend today and I was

telling them about my hearts desires.

I know they probly will never come true

but I still can wish and hope. One of

course, is to live on the water, a lake or

river will do.. The other is to ride the train.

Ive never ridden a train and I think to take

one would be fun. Id like to ride out west

and then just turn around and come back.

It takes 3 days by train to go to Seattle.

I think that would be so wonderful.. My

newest hearts desire is to have a deck

out back.. Donnie said he would build it,

all I would have to pay for is the wood,

which would run about 300 dollars..So

unless I win the lottery NONE of my

hearts desires will come true I think..
Its sposta go up to 60 degrees by this

Thursday. Maybe spring is really here.

We just had to change our clocks. I

always get so confused on that..

Penny came today even though she

doesn't feel very good. Shes making

some of those delicious calico beans.

Its been quite awhile since we had

them and I cant wait till theyre done.

I feel pretty good today, my cold is still

there, but not as bad. I didn't sleep very

good last night even with a sleeping pill.

Ive been watching too much of the

horrible conditions in Japan and its giving

me nightmares.. Those poor people..

Well I'm closing for today and try some

of these beans. I'm still a GORGEOUS
WEEBLE and I shall return.. Keep well

and God Bless...

~My Heart Goes Out To People of Japan~

Ive been watching the coverage about the

earthquake in Japan. How awful for the

people and the animals. Its not bad enough

to suffer with such a huge earthquake and

then the tsunami but now the nuclear and

possible radiation. Those poor people.. I

wish I could help... To lose everything in

just a matter of seconds has to be so

devastating especially to the children

and the elders to see all they spent their

life to build and its all gone..How sad.

My heart goes out to all of them.

I got a wonderful phone call last night

which I desperately needed after watching

all the devastation in Japan, my little

honeygirl, Kirsten, phoned..Just the sound

of her sweet voice just makes me feel so

much better. When I say hello to hear that

wonderful "What ya doin?" just makes me

smile.

A dear special friend of mine sent me a

video of Yogi Bear that I sent on to her. She

hadnt even looked at it yet but pestered

her papaw to phone Gran. She would

have it no other way, Donnie said, but to

call and tell her Gran thank you. Isnt

that just special? Shes so smart for such

a little girl. Only 4.. I told my friend how

his wonderful gift made Kirsten AND me

very happy.. We are trying to think of

another movie she would like.. I think

either Bambi or Cinderella.. What do

you think? All suggestions will be

considered.. We need to keep this

special girl happy :-) And if her Gran

has anything to do with it she will

be happy as a lark.. :-)

Every time Kirsten phones which is

just about every night she asks me

"How do you feel Gran, are you ok?"

She wants me to get better so I can

make some clothes for her dolly. :-)

So, needless to say this Gran is gonna

do her best to try to do some sewing.

I feel pretty good today, I am just about

over my cold. I sneeze once in a while,

but not as bad as awhile ago, thank God,

Its a gloomy dark cold day today and we

are sposta get snow again. I saw on TV

that Chicago is gonna get about 6 inches

a huge storm front is coming, so it will go

right across the lake and head right at us.

Well I am gonna close for today, I hope

y'all have a great week end and don't forget

I am still a GORGEOUS WEEBLE.!. Keep

well and God Bless...

~Snowy Day ~

Today is a snowy day. Light snow is falling but not

sticking. There are robins out there I hope they don't

catch cold :-) I feel pretty good today and I sure am

glad. I think my resting in the afternoons is helping.

I still am drinking the pomegranate juice so that

might be why I feel better too..

Graybelle is outside in this weather.. I try to keep

food and milk out there for her. I worry she may

get pregnant and I wont know where she would

have babies since she doesn't stay here all the

time..The orange tiger has been sticking right

with her so I worry.. I wish I knew someone that

wanted a nice cat..shes so sweet and to see

her out there all alone breaks my heart.. I keep

thinking I might get brave and let her in, but I

worry about my boys and how they would treat

her. They come first , and I would hate to give

Graybelle a taste of warm and inside and have

to put her back out..that would be cruel.. Penny

has 5 cats or she would take her, In fact shes

worried one of her females might be expecting.

She never did get them fixed... I wish I could

follow Graybelle when she leaves here just to

see where she goes..she belonged to some

one cuz she has a collar on...

My sis called last night just to say hi and see

how I was.. she made Italian spaghetti for

supper and I KNOW how good it was..She

is having a lot of pain in her legs and feet

but none of her doctors seem to know whats

wrong..They say its neuropsy. Just doesn't

seem it would be that painful..I had it but

the vascular disease took over..and when

mine started the pain was in the calf and

then my feet turned white and hurt really

bad ... I hope she can find a doctor that

knows what hes doing...

I'm having some beans that we put into the

new crock pot yesterday. I am so hungry for

them.. Heidi my nurse was due this morning

but called to change it to 2 . I usually don't

like to have appts at that itme of day but it

was the best time for her. I asked to just

wait till next week, but she feels I need to

be seen at least once a week..so..I will

wait for her..

Well I'm gonna go eat and rest till Heidi

gets here. I got up about 6:45 to a strange

truck in my driveway , scared me, but I

guess it was company for next door..I

wish they woulda told me.. I am still a

MOST GORGEOUS WEEBLE and I

will be back.. Keep well and God Bless.

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...

~Rainy Day ~

Rainy day today and I sure can tell it..my stumps are aching.

Other than that I feel pretty good. Kinda tired but that's partly

due to the crappy weather. This type of day would make

even a healthy person feel yukky :-)

Travis was here today, he such a nice kid. He was sposta

come last week but I cancelled, it was too hectic a day

and I didn't want to contend with more company. He made

it through the rain :-) Tomorrow Heidi and Katrina are due

to come by and Friday Rebecca is due. Another busy week.

Penny got me a new crock pot. smaller than the one I have

and it will be just right for me. We are, well Penny are

making a pot of beans for me in it and I cant wait till theyre

done. This is a good day for a pot of beans..She put

some sausage in it for flavoring..My mouth is watering,

its been ages since we had beans.. :-)

Other than that I have no plans for today other than to

watch TV later. I take my sleeping pill about 8:30 and

by 9 I'm down for the count but I am up by 5. and if I

am not out of bed by 6, my boys make SURE I'm up.

Dutch will lay on my chest and start patting my face,

then LB will walk right up me till he hovers over my

face and starts his MOM ,,, MOM...MOM.. he really

does say mom..Lots of people have heard him. :-)

So I get up and come out here and have a cuppa

tea. I don't drink coffee any more, just doesn't taste

good, and I used to love coffee.. tea is good tho.

Well its lunch time and I'm having some left over

chili. Its always better the next day...I'm still a

MOST GORGEOUS WEEBLE.. and I will be

back..maybe tomorrow, maybe not..I'll try..

Keep well and God Bless...

~Its Best~

Every time my chest hurts I worry and

wonder if 'this is it'. I doubt when my

heart stops I'll have any warning, and

most of all I hope I don't suffer and

linger on. I do have a DNR..which is

do not resuscitate. If there was even

a slight chance I could recover I would

reconsider, but having all the health

problems I have I don't think I would

have a good quality of life if they did

revive me...so I think this is the best.

Southern Care is very good.. I have a

great nurse that will come as often as

I need her, which now I think once a

week is plenty. My bath lady, Katrina

comes on Tuesday and Thursday so

I'm staying clean and fresh smellin :-)

I have noticed I am extremely tired

lately and most of my afternoons I

spend on my bed watching animal

planet or napping...

There was a young boy that collapsed

and died after making the winning

basket at a basketball game. He was

only 17.. Saddened everyone that heard.

Penny and I talked about it today and I

told her that if it was his time to die he

died doing what he loved most and that

was playing basket ball..Its a tragedy

but I believe we all have a set time to die,

and the Lord knew how much that boy

loved to play ball and what better time

to take him. I feel so sorry for his family.

He made the winning basket to win a

spot in the championship playoffs, which

is tonite, the team is playing, and tomorrow

they will all go to his funeral..So sad..but

life goes on. Time stops for no one.

Penny is here today and we are all clean,

I'm hungry for chili..she made some killer

stuffed green peppers Friday, 3 of them

and this GORGEOUS WEEBLE ate ALL

3 of them, they were so good..:-) shall I

say "oink oink oink?" :-)

I will say though I will be back, maybe

tomorrow, maybe not, busy day..so it

depends on my tired :-) I'll try.. in the

meantime keep well and God Bless...

~I Wanna Sew~

Yesterday was a lazy day just like this

one is turning out to be. I have so many

things I would love to do but I wear out

so quickly that I end up doing nothing.

I pray every day, 6 times a day, for just

a little energy so I can at least sew and

make some things for Kirstens babydoll.

That sweet baby calls me every night

just to ask how I'm feeling and when

will I make some things for her baby.

It just about kills me that I cant sew

for her...I keep hoping that I will wake

up one day and have some strength

to sew..

My sewing machine is right here under

my table, if I had legs I could kick it, its

so close. I tried to pick it up and I cant,

and its too risky to lean forward and

try to lift it with both hands..That would

not be good if I fell out of my chair just

trying to reach that machine...But I sure

would love to, I have some of the nicest

and prettiest material that would make

some cute baby doll dresses..The doll

is only 12 inches long so it sure wouldn't

take much...

Today, I do feel pretty good and I may

make a nice hamburger for lunch.. I'm

not sure if Penny is coming today or

not, she'll call first... she knows the

rules.. She got her income tax back

and is sure happy, now she can get

her car fixed...

Thanks for understanding about my not

posting every day, some days my hands

just hurt and I have no energy. The off

days of doing nothing help a lot.. This

week may be a busy one with Travis,

Heidi, Katrina and Rebecca coming by.

Heidi will only be coming once on Tues.

but Katrina will come on Tues and Thurs.

Travis is sposta come on Tuesday but I

may have to change it to wed. I have no

one but Penny coming on wed..

Our snow all melted with the rain, then it

started to snow yesterday again and the

ground is covered. I'm so ready for spring

so I can open my door. Otherwise I feel

ok today, I still have this sneezy runny

nose and I will be so glad when its gone.

I'm still a GORGEOUS WEEBLE and I'll

be back..Keep well and God Bless...

Always, Lois ****

~I Needed A Quiet Day~

I apologize for not writing yesterday, but

I had to have one day to do nothing, no

company, and be by myself.. I didn't do

anything but what I usually do, look out

my window at the birds and cats. But it

was nice.. When I know I am going to

have company I worry with it all night.

I don't have an alarm so I keep waking

up to make sure I am up in time.. Which

usually I am up by 7:30, very seldom,

unless I'm sick, do I sleep past then.

I just laid around all afternoon and I did

take a little nap for about an hour. A couple

of dear friends phoned as well as my girl

Kirsten..shes such a little doll..and sounds

so sweet on the phone..When I pick it up

and say hello the first thing I hear is "What

ya doin?" then she laughs.. I had sent her

a Yogi Bear video and Donnie said the first

thing she said was "I havta call Gran and

say thank you!!" For a 4 year old to think of

saying thank you before she even watched

the video, shes a pretty special girl.. I know

some grown children that get a lot more than

a 2.98 video and don't say thank you..I need

to get a photo of her.. Donnie promises but

never sends one.. Kirsten asks every day if

I am better so I can make some stuff for her

baby.. Now, if that isnt Incentive to get better

I don't know what is...

Right now its 8:30 am and I just fed Earie and

Graybelle and Orngy..They were hungry..Its

started to rain and I hate seeing them out in it.

I would love to let Graybelle in but I just worry

how Dutch especially will react and I don't want

my boys upset..But she sure needs someone to

love her shes a sweet cat...

Penny is due today and other than that it will be

quiet.. I think she is going to make stuffed green

peppers today.. Momar you can bring me some

of your good soup! :-) So, until tomorrow I'm

still a GORGEOUS WEEBLE and I'm hangin on..
