~THEIF !! ~

Well I am totally upset AGAIN. I put photos of my
self here last wednesday and someone has taken
them and posted them, anonomously of course. I
dont know the name of the site just yet, but I will
have to write again to this group owner to ask that
my photos be removed.

EVERYONE that knows me knows how upset I
get when this happens. I am so sick of it. Its as
if I have no rights and whomever it was felt they
could take MY photos that I or Penny took and
put them where ever they want,.

I wonder and I say this every time this happens,
how they would feel if someone took one of their
photos and put it somewhere it didnt belong..

I have been debating to perhaps close this blog
and that way I wont have to worry about my photos,
I know some have stuck with me from the start but
when someone disrespects me like this I feel so
violated... this isnt right to do..

Im gonna post this now and think about what to
do.. Im still a GORGEOUS WEEBLE tho...
Keep well and God Bless

Always. Lois ****


God Bless You, is my prayer today,
I'm so honored to call you "friend"
I pray the Lord will keep you safe,

~Graybelle Likes The Deck~



My nurse came yesterday and my BP has
been pretty good with this increase of
my medication. I'm really glad. Fanesse
is really nice. I was telling her I am
wanting some doughnuts. She lives in
Sturgis and said there is a REAL bakery
there! They are so hard to find now. The
big grocery stores has them but not like
Dixie cream or dunkin . She promised
next week that she would bring some!
The kitties are enjoying the deck. Dinky
acts like he owns it and so does Graybelle.
She found the railing and sunned herself
all day till it got too hot for her and she
curled up down below,,
So cute with her hands over her eyes.
Well, not hands, :-) feet. She and Dinky
stay here all the time and sleep under
the deck.

Penny came today with a fresh supply
of birdseed. The birds will be happy.
Ive trying to figure out where to put
stuff on the deck and out by the post.
I hope Pennys guy will come and do my
yard for me. Just the sidewalk edged
and that concrete out there by the post.
Its covered with weeds and grass, I
cant wait to get everything fixed. I'm
giving Donnie the cat house back since
the cats wont go in it anymore.

Beautiful day today and its time to fix
lunch, what I don't know. But this
GORGEOUS WEEBLE is hungry. Keep
well and God Bless..

Always, Lois ****

~Travis Was Here~



Travis came today. Hes a nice kid. The
boy, Dutch behaves so badly when I
have company and today was no exception.
There was something in the waste basket
under my desk that was driving him nuts.
He kept trying to dig in it, knocked it over
twice. I bet I shooed him away from it a
dozen times! He kept going back, and then
when he did stop, he ran around like he
was on drugs! Just going nuts. We had to
laugh at him, he is so persistent in any
thing he does. He always seems more of a
pest when I have company. :-)
Penny took photos of her kitties and she
was right when she said they were the
prettiest kitties ever. One looks just like
LB when he was a baby, and one has gold
under his eyes. Penny is attached to these
kitties and shes gonna have a hard time
getting rid of them. :-)
Donnie and David came up last night and
worked on the deck. David was being an 8
year old yesterday and got in trouble. He
went in to his moms car and was playing
with the seat belts. He wrapped them
around his legs and from moving around
they tightened up. His feet were turning
blue by the time someone heard him yelling.
They had to cut the belt off, he was very
lucky someone came outside to check on
him. Kids just don't realize how dangerous
some things are.
I keep cat food,dry kind, out on the deck
for the cats. Well it draws bees, those small
honey bees. David is very afraid of them. He
got stung once and knows they hurt. The ones
out side here are not stinger kind and Donnie
tried to tell David that.
Donnie asked David to hold a board for him and
David kept saying "I'm NOT going up by there,
those bees are there!" Donnie asked him 3 times,
really nice but he still refused. All of a sudden
Donnie rushes up to the dish swats at the bees
and turns back, grabs David by the arm and
moves him up by the board saying "The Bees
are GONE!" David laughed and said, "I don't like
bees"..as hes on his tiptoes with Donnies help.. :-)

I don't know what I'm having for lunch, I do know
I am so hungry for doughnuts! I would LOVE
some Krispie Creme or Dunkins! They have
both in Elkhart.. This GORGEOUS WEEBLE
needs food and I think a nap, I didn't sleep
good last night.. K eep well and God Bless!

~Nicest Day~



What a nice day yesterday. I met David. He
came with Donnie to help. And believe me
this boy really did! He carried wood and
took it back and forth after Donnie cut it.
Saved Donnie a lot of walking! David is the
son of Missy, Donnies girlfriend. What a
sweet kid. David is 8.
He really likes Donnie, you can see it in his
face when he looks at him. Donnie let him
use the drill and I think Donnie enjoyed
being with David, mutual feelings I think.
Donnie kept telling him what a good worker
and helper he was, which kids need to know
that they are valued.
David came inside and spent time with me,
which I thoroughly enjoyed. He loved the
cats , which made Dutch happy. They had a
good time playing with the lazer. Then he
went out and checked my mail for me and
Steve was out there with the dogs, so
David got a chance to play with Bailey for
a few minutes which David really liked. He
sat here in the kitchen and we talked a
little. He said he really likes my house ,
"its nice and big he said... I would like to
come back !" I would kinda like that too!
His mom had to work so he got to spend
the day with Donnie and come up here,
with all the pets and Donnie was going to
take him to lunch on the way back to
Donnies. I think David had a good day.
After they left, my sister and Stanley
came by. She is still having trouble with
that wrist she had the surgery on. Its
not healing like it should, quite painful.
Other than that she is doing ok. Stan
is fine, he always just takes a nap when
they come so Shirley and I can catch
up on everything, she keeps me up to
date on her kids and what shes been
making, she sews a lot, I wish I could
sew again, but its just not possible.
Well I need to find some lunch. I may
have some chicken , ive not had that
in a long time, with some yellow rice.
Time for this GORGEOUS WEEBLE
to post, keep well and God Bless

~BP Is OK~



Fanesse, my nurse came yesterday
and I'm ok, my blood pressure seems
to be better. The raising of the dose
seems to help. Shes really nice and
very easy to talk to.
Penny is here and we have been deciding
what to eat today. I'm kinda hungry for
chicken. I had her pick some up at the
store that I might cook over the weekend.
I don't know when Donald is coming again,
I'm hoping tonight. I want this deck done!

Other than that I have no plans to do any
thing special. Be nice to go to the lake,
sit by the water, and if no one was around
I might consider going for a swim. Donnie
is so fortunate to live on a lake. When he
gets home he walks in the door, thru the
house all the while dropping clothes and
grabbing his swim suit before going out
the back door and to the lake.. what a
great life :-) He doesn't get to enjoy it
as much as hed like to.

Time to help cook , I'm still a most
GORGEOUS WEEBLE, keep well
and God Bless

~Deck Works~


Donnie phoned and came by Monday
night. He apologized for making me
upset. He worked on the deck and as
you see I have been out on it. I wish
the door opened the other way. With
my joy stick on the right, my door opens
left to right, so I have to use my left
hand to run my chair or reach across and
push the door open...


Dinky and Graybelle were both out there
and Dinky was very leary of my chair. He
didn't come right to me and when I moved
my chair he ran. Graybelle didn't care as
long as she was being petted...

Its a nice day today, not real hot, Donnies
coming up tonight. He had to babysit last
night for Amber, she and her hubby had to
go to see his dad and brother, they both
got seriously hurt in a truck accident. A
tree was across the road, as they came
over a hill and by the time his dad saw
it, was too late and they hit it. I hope
they are ok. Theyre seriously hurt.

Penny is here today and did laundry
and we are all clean. She took the
photos of this GORGEOUS WEEBLE.
Keep well and God Bless.. time for
some lunch~!

~Didnt Get Done~


Stormy weather
I didn't see Donnie all weekend so my
deck is not finished and I am VERY
upset about it. I called him 3 times
yesterday to find out when or IF he
planned to come over. Finally at 6pm
I phoned and told him how upset I
was that I couldn't depend on him
and hung up.
2 boxes- but havta be in the same one,.. lol
My caseworker from COA comes this
morning and I'm going to ask her for
help in finding someone else to finish
it for me. The stress from this has
gotten out of hand. I was up most of
the night I was so upset. I HAVE to
get this settled.
Dutch aint too happy sharing lol
Saturday. No warning at all. It got
so dark the street lights came on. I
was sitting in the front doorway with
Dutch and a bolt of lightening looked
like it hit across the street, scared us
both really bad :-) There a branches
and leaves all over the street and yard.

Lunch time and time to post this, this
GORGEOUS WEEBLE is hungry and I
am gonna take a nap after Penny leaves,
hope you had a good weekend.. Keep
well and God bless..

~Good Day~



Pretty nice day today so far. We are
sposta have rain which is great, my lawn
really needs it. I keep saying I'm going
to get a sprinkler but I don't have to pay
for water and without Joe's permission
I don't want to do that, even though its
really HIS yard I'm taking care of.
Dinky is sitting on one of the posts with
his one leg hanging, I HAD to take a picture.
He stays here 90% of the time and the rest
of it hes over in the garage. Hes such a
sweet boy I wish I could let him in. BUT hes
not neutered and that would be a disaster.
Plus I see how hes got such an attitude with
the other outsiders that I KNOW he and
Dutch would surely clash and there is no
way I could break up 2 armed cats Id be
crazy to try! But I sure would like to let
him in. I sent Becky a mail and hopefully
she can come up with a solution to help
him. Hes so skinny and that worries me.
We wormed him but its not made any
changes that we can see. He and Graybelle
are my 2 steady, always here, outsiders...
My blood pressure pills have been upped to
10 mg a day. Instead of taking the extra
when it goes up the Dr seems to think that
if the dose is raised that maybe my pressure
will stabilize. I'm to take it every afternoon
to see what it is and keep a record.

I need y'all to pray there is NO rain for
tomorrow and that my boy will show up to
finish my deck. I sure want it done, plus I
know Joyce will be glad, one less thing for
her to be upset about with the yard.

I have no plans for today so it hopefully
will be a nice quiet day.. I don't know yet
what lunch is gonna be but this GORGEOUS
WEEBLE never seems to have any problem
finding something :-) Y'all have a great
weekend, keep well and God Bless,..

~What Day Is It:?~ :-)


Dutch in one of his favorite things, a box :)
I don't know what my problem is today
but all morning I thought today was
Friday! I even sent a mail to Kelli and
said I wasn't sure if she was at work
or not cuz some Fridays shes off! When
she reads that she is gonna think I 've
lost it! :-)
Fanesse, my nurse came this morning
and she was the one that made me
take note that its THURSDAY! She
laughed and put her hand on my
shoulder and asked "are you ok?"
I told her I just get confused some
days. I think its cuz I want it to hurry
up and be Sunday...

I talked to Donnie last night and he
checked his busy schedule and has put
me down for Sunday to come and finish
my deck! I am so glad and trust me I'm
praying every day that nothing happens
that he cant come.. I want this deck DONE!

My blood pressure pills have been increased
to try to stabilize it. Its so radical going up
and down so much the Dr thinks this would
be the wise thing to do. I agree, the head
aches I get when it goes up are enough to
make me cross eyed :-)


This GORGEOUS WEEBLE has no left
overs for lunch so I have to find some
thing. I have some meatballs in the
freezer and I might make a sandwich
with them.. These meatballs are very
very good, lots of flavor. I put them
in sauce sometimes too. Try them.
These are made by Armour.

Time to post and eat, keep well and
God Bless...

~Doc Visits~



On Monday, Dr Dallas from Southern Care
came to see me and do a evaluation. He does
agree that I should their services. He
and a nurse came. Hes very nice.

LittleBoy and Dutch
Yesterday, my Dr Hyde with Visiting Physicians
came for his monthly visit. He warned me that
next month they will draw blood again. Just
between us, I may cancel their visit! The
nurse is just not good at drawing blood! He
did say my vitamin d is extremely low and I
have to make sure I take my pill. I would
imagine it would be low, with not being out
in the sun at all.

Penny is here and we are all clean. We are
not cooking today as I'm very stressed out.
Too many things going on that have me a
tad upset, my deck taking forever to get
done is a big stresser. Plus the electric.

So, I'm gonna close this and make some
phone calls to try to undo some of these
stressers. I'm still a GORGEOUS WEEBLE
always will be :-) Keep well and God
Bless..

~Nothing Doing~


Its an overcast day with the forecast
saying rain, I looked on the weather
site and it says its 66 degrees out,
yet my ac is running. Its very humid.
I got my electric bill and its $125.oo.
I am NOT happy. But I have no choice
but to pay it.

Nothing exciting today other than I had
to take an extra blood pressure pill. I hate
when I have to, but if I don't I will keep
this headache and that's most aggravating.
I cant seem to win! :-)

Other than that I have no plans other than
to make some lunch and reply to some mail.
I did write out my bills and they are ready
to send tomorrow when Penny gets here.

Its been a quiet weekend and I'm glad, Its
hectic during the week when I have a steady
stream of people. My outside kitties have
been real stinkers, Graybelle sticking her
tongue out and Orngy growling showing his
teeth, Dinky worrys me hes gotten so mean.

Well this GORGEOUS WEEBLE is gonna
close this for today, keep well and God
Bless...

~Deck~

Its a kinda gloomy day, and not real hot
YET. I had hoped Donnie would come up
and fix my deck today, but he had other
things to do. Maybe tomorrow. You can
see how nice the deck looks though. I
cant go out on it yet as the last 3 floor
boards arent nailed down. The step is
under there and he has to fix that.

There were fireworks last night over
here at the high school. They were so
loud they rattled my windows, just
beautiful.. Scared the boys, they ran
and hid, too much noise for them, theyre
used to quietness .. :-)

Not a whole lot to write about today, I
slept a little later, to 6:30! But I don't
feel real well.. I had to take an extra
blood pressure pill as it was up again. It
makes me feel bad and I get a headache
when it goes too high.

I'm gonna go and find something for lunch,
what, I don't know, but this GORGEOUS
WEEBLE always finds something.. :-)
Keep well and God Bless...

~Lots of Action~

Fuzz and I say Phooey!
Its so hectic around here its amazing.
This is magic week and the town is full
of people. Cars are parked all by me cuz
most of the free magic shows are over
here in the high school... Lots of people
are attending by the amount of cars.
There were big doings with the city and
the electric company and the neighbors
yesterday too. 3 trucks were parked on
the side street and one was blocking my
driveway, so I motioned to one of the
men to come here and I asked him what
was going on.
He said they had to stabilized the pole
out there so we didn't lose power, the
neighbors had a broken sewer line and
had to dig it up and I guess they worried
one of their machines would hit the pole,
I don't know, but he was a nice guy and
cute too!

One of Pennys cats had kittens. AGAIN.
She has about 6 cats. This time she has
4 babies that are just precious. She gave
away all of the other litter, even the one
she brought to visit me. These she has
now are so pretty. I cant hardly wait for
enough time to go by so she can bring one
here. :-)

Fanesse, my nurse was here, my BP is up,
174/97,. It will go down. She is so nice.
She is going to pick up my meds for me
so Penny wont have to do it.

Ive been up since 3am and of course I
looked outside. I saw a HUGE DEER
standing there eating that corn off the
feeder! I turned on the porch light and
he ran off I was gonna try to get a pic.

I have some left over stuffed green
peppers, 5 of them, that Penny brought
from her garden. I ate one last night,
delicious!

This GORGEOUS WEEBLE is hungry.
Food then a nap. its cool today so I'm
hoping I hear from Donnie :-) Keep
well and God Bless...

~I Been Busy~


This is short today as I'm tired. Its been
a hectic morning. I got up at 5, wide awake
and then at 930 Travis came, stayed for
awhile, he will be back in 2 weeks.. Then
as he was going out the door, Rebecca
and a co worker came by for a visit. Talk
about busy..
See the fly:?
Thank God, the Dr didn't come today, he
was supposed to come about 1.. The one
from Southern Care. I don't really under
stand whyI have to see their doctor when
I have my own. But its their policy and
I have to play by their rules.. They will
re schedule and call me..

Anyhoway, this GORGEOUS WEEBLE
is hungry and tired, so food then a
nap. Keep well and God Bless.

Always, Lois ****
