~Post Number 1940~

I saw Carl outside on his rider. He had a

wagon hooked up to it filled with dirt that he

was putting on bare spots in his lawn. Hes

over 70 and just stays so active. I watched

him for quite awhile. He and the lady I call

Gramma, across the street, are both very

active. She still drives too. They remind me

of my parents that stayed active up till the

day they died..

I think if they hadnt they probly would have

died sooner. They enjoyed their yard and

garden, my dad still worked up till the day

he was taken to hospital. He went fishing

every chance he had. My mom was the

same way, busy busy. I think that's part

of my problem. I'm not busy busy anymore.

I look out the door and see things that need

done in my yard and I would LOVE to get

out there and do it. I loved working in my

yard and tending my flowers. It was a daily

pleasure for me. I miss that.. I don't have

enough to keep me busy and that is a lot of

my problem. I want to do stuff but I just

cant and I think that's the problem with a lot

of people. We cant do what we did and it

gets us down and makes us feel bad...I wish

it was different...

I think once I get my deck and get outside better

that may make a big difference. Donnie said that

maybe next week he and Gary will start on my

deck...Ive been looking at catalogs of all the neat

stuff I can get for it..I think my only problem will

be trying to figure out a way to get out without

my 2 shadows following me.. be nice if it was all

screened then the boys could come out there too.

That isnt possible though.

Penny came today and got us all clean for the

weekend. Heidi did show up yesterday and checked

me over and I'm doing good. My blood pressure is

fine and my oxygen level is good too. I feel fine.

The only problem is that spot on my tailbone. If

that would go away I would feel great. I didn't sleep

the greatest last night. I woke up about 2 and was

wide awake till 4. I just went and got on my puter

for a while.. at that time of night nothing good is

on TV at all...but I fell back to sleep and the boys

woke me at 6.. LB decided it was his turn to wake

me.. he laid on my chest saying "MOM!" till I sat

up.. :-)

Time for lunch and to post this for today.. Hope

y'all have a good weekend..Ours is gonna be

rainy it says.. I'm still a most GORGEOUS
WEEBLE .!. 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...
