~Winter Day~

I seems to me winter is in a rush to get
here. Today is a cold, rainy and damp
day with some high winds at times. I
know it wont be long before it snows.
I already ache from this weather.
I woke up sneezing and had a bout with
a coughing seizure that took my breath
and I couldn't breathe and that scared
me big time. The cats panicked and LB
was crawling all over me whining like he
was trying to calm me down so I could
breathe.
I have already started worrying about
the outsiders. Dinky and Graybelle are
here all the time but they refuse to go
back into the cat house. Penny has
checked it out to see if there was any
thing wrong and its fine, has a nice warm
blanket in there even. Donnie may as well
take it home.


Time for lunch and then a nap, maybe I
can get rid of this headache. I'm still
a most GORGEOUS WEEBLE, 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,
until I write again.....

~Good Chili~


Penny made the best pot of chili when
she was here yesterday, it was just
excelllent. I gave some to Dinky, my
outsider. He loves people food. When
I put cat food out there he looks at me
like I am totally nuts giving that to him.
He gets most indignant :-) He loved the
chili, but not the beans.
I let him eat and after he was done I
asked him if he liked the chili, you see
his face, I think he did ...
I looked out the door last night and I
saw a possum eating the cat food. The
kittie that looks like Dutch was off to
the side watching it then hid behind
the plant. I tried to get a photo but
he was too close and I couldn't get it.
I was surprised to see it.
behind the flower pot on the right, just see her face,,.

Today is a dark gloomy cold rainy day. I am
pure d miserable. I ache so bad.. I had a hard
start this morning again. I got so nauseated for
a while I thought I was gonna have to go back
to bed. I didn't and I feel ok other than this
damp achey,, I said Damp... :-)

Time for the leftover chili, I did save some for
me. This GORGEOUS WEEBLE needs nourishing
chili.. Penny has outdone herself.. I am so glad
she is such a good cook, she will be the first to
tell you that she learned from me :-) Time to
go, keep well and God Bless..

~New Visitor~


This is gonna be short today as its been
quite hetic and I have stuff I want to
get done while Penny is here. Travis
was here for 2 hours and we had a most
unexpected visitor this morning.
Penny looked out on the deck when she
saw something out on there that was
quite out of place. A DOG ! She was
very sweet and came right up to the door.
She ate some of the dry food , then got
the bowl of can food and carried it out
to the yard and licked it clean.
Dutch was beside himself when he saw the
dog, hes only seen the black lab next door.
He slapped the glass and growled.. The dog
kept on eating. I don't know who she does
belong to Ive not seen her before but she
looks like shes had babies. She filled up and
wandered off, I kept watch till she was
gone, soon as she left Dinky came out from
under the deck. :-)

Rainy, dull drab day and I ache. Chili for
lunch and I'm hungry, but then this
GORGEOUS WEEBLE stays that way it
seems :-) I'm off to find food, keep
well and God Bless...

Always, Lois ****

~Bad Birds`


There is what I saw when I looked outside
this morning. The birdbathfeeder was on
the ground! And if you look at the ones
next, you will see it looks broken! I hope
not, Penny had a hard time finding those-
those birds are so bad! :-) .
Theyre only plastic and I have the 2, one
with water and one with birdseed, but they
cost about $12.00. I don't think we could
one now, maybe on ebay. I don't buy online,
I don't have a credit card, but sometimes
I wish I did, but then again.... I don't like
to charge stuff. I'm used to just paying
for it, then its not a bill.. I get enough
of them as it is!
The honeysuckle looks so pretty right
in the window. The outsiders love the
deck and one of them is always here.
I think of winter coming and these
poor cats, id like to let Graybelle and
Dinky in, but I cant. They slap and
hiss at each other now thru the glass
and I KNOW they all would fight.

Dutch is awful when I have company.
He gets up on my desk, walks around
the monitor 2 or 3 times, then sits
next to the keyboard, then he starts
to hit stuff till it falls on the floor.
He does this in front of everyone. My
nurse , well everybody, laughs at him,
he then gets worse! I tell them DONT
LAUGH! You laugh and then YOU
pick up all the stuff he knocks off! :-)

Ive not decided what I'm gonna have for
lunch. But you know this GORGEOUS
WEEBLE always finds something.... Keep
well and God Bless,,.

~Honeysuckle is Bloomin Again~

My honeysuckle is blooming again. I didn't
know it bloomed twice a year, considering
it blooms for a long time. I was giving the
outsiders their breakfast and happened
to look over to see how the sunflowers
were doing, which they are all done. The
two little ones in the flower pot are still
ok.
The honeysuckle is so pretty and the
smell is wonderful. I can see the fall
coming, one of the trees across the
street is changing. I'm not ready for
winter. I ache more then than I do
in the summer. I stay the same constant
temperature tho I guess with air in
the summer and heat in the winter,
but it just seems that winter is worse.
My nurse came yesterday and I am ok.
She checked me over and we are both
glad that the increase in my BP med is
working at keeping me at an even level.
I notice I get really tired in the after
noons and some days have no choice but
to take a nap.. Usually I try to stay up
and then just close down at 9 or so. I
have a hard time staying awake if I
don't take a nap.

Penny is making a roast chicken with
cornbread dressing. I share with the
outsiders. They would rather eat
people food than cat food. My 2 in here
don't like people food, only a taste.
Dutch HAS to taste or smell everything
I eat. Ive learned over the years that I
might as well let him go first or I will NOT
enjoy my food. He will pester me to death
till I give him a taste. LB- he only likes
graham crackers or pringles. He will come
as soon as I open them. :-)

I hope you have a nice weekend. I have
no plans other than to just be my
GORGEOUS WEEBLE self :-) Keep
well and God bless...

~Missed Again~

Sorry I missed some days again, and
the bad thing is I have no good excuse,
other than just pure d lazy.. I would
think about it then my mind would go to
something else and by the time I thought
about it again it was way late, but I will
try to do better, but then that's what
I said last time too.. Joys of getting old,
you fergit .. :-)
It was horrible foggy the other morning.
I couldn't even see across the street.
They delayed school opening for 2 hours
and it wasn't even gone totally by then.
Quite a few accidents because of it tho
I ve been making calendars. I love making
these things. If the site I use ever goes
down I would be in big trouble. I wish I
had a program did it all, then Id have no
worries at all.. Everyone seems to like
them, they write and tell me so, its
always nice to know your work is
appreciated.

Ive not heard from Donnie so I don't know
how his back is. I will call him later today,
when hes off work. He never misses work,
he goes no matter how he feels.

This GORGEOUS WEEBLE is hungry so I
am gonna post this and eat. Again, my
apologies , Ill be back tomorrow. Keep
well and God Bless...

~The Best Calendar of ALL!~

No plans for today and I'm not expecting
any company, with this cool weather its
nice to sit out on my deck, its not quite
done, just some spindles need put in. With
Donnies back so sore I don't expect him
to feel like doing it. Which is ok, I can
still go out there :-)

Penny made a meat pie yesterday and it
will be even better today. Its kinda like
a pasty but bigger. It was so cool I didn't
mind having the oven on, in fact it kinda
took the chill off. Ive had a sweater on
for 2 days. Fall is coming very fast.

Ive been making more calendars. Gives
me something to do, which is a good thing,
I did order some caramels, I had to, they
are so good. Susan will ship them anywhere
and they are a nice gift, "sweets for the
sweet" so to say,, :-)

Not a lot to write about, but I thought
id better write a little something so
y'all don't worry bout me :-) I'm feeling
pretty good, no 'spells' for awhile, I'm
very glad, they scare me...
I'm gonna post this and heat up my
leftover pie. This GORGEOUS WEEBLE
woke up a tad hungry :-) Y'all have a
great weekend , keep well, God Bless,,

~Making Calendars~


Ive been busy making calendars for email. Its
a lot of fun and I have the best time doing this,
I don't have much that I have to do other than
come here and write to all of you about my most
wonderful exciting life. :-) Which I enjoy doing.
But it dont take a whole lotta time and that gives
lotsa spare time! SO,,,,,,,


I make one for every day of the month out
of anything I find. That's my boys in the one
up there. I wasn't sure they would let me put
it here since its not a photo..
Anyhoway, the link to Susan's site is here,
http://www.2011susansdailydose.yolasite.com


click on the link and up on the top left, it says
September 2011 calendar and yesterday the
16th, is when the first one was put on. Its a
very nice site and made with extreme care.
Plus notice the caramels she sells that are
very good! Highly recommended.. I do think
men or women enjoy her daily dose as its
called... and she will send you a note to tell
you when its there, which is really great..
If you go please sign her guestbook and let
my good friend Susan know I sent you.
http://www.2011susansdailydose.yolasite.com


I didnt write yesterday cuz it was so noisey,
about drove me insane! The city left a note
on the door telling us not to park in the street,
which Penny parks in back in the driveway,
They repaved the streets. And I bet there
were a dozen trucks, graders and tar putter
downers! A truck put the black tar down,
then a truck behind put a special kind of
sand looking stuff on top of it. I have a
street on 2 sides, north and west so I
got a double dose of it! The noise that is.


Penny is here got us all set for the weekend.
Lunch hasnt been decided, but this GORGEOUS
WEEBLE always has something.. Keep well and
God Bless, happy weekend...

~Happy Birthday Honeyboy~

My favorite photos of Donnie and Kelli, Kelli was 4
Then and now..

Today is my boys birthday, Donnie, hes 49
today. I called and sang happy birthday to
him... he laughed. Hes not doing real good,
his back is hurting him just awful. Hes been
to the Dr for it and nothing is working, so
hes decided to go to a choirpractor that's
the wrong spelling but my spel chekr is
broke :-)

Cable guy showed up right on time, I was
waiting for him. He got everything fixed ,
took him at least 2 hours to get it all done.
He said I wasn't getting a strong signal and
now hopefully it will be better, I know my
Internet is faster which is VERY good...

Its a nice day here today and I almost was
gonna have a busy day, my Dr and Travis all
wanted to come by today and that's just too
much for me all in one day. So Travis will
come next week and the Dr will let me know
when he will be coming, I have a feeling I
wont see him till next month. Which is ok. :-)

Other than that I hope the rest of today is
quiet, for some reason I'm sneezing and
coughing and my head feels like I'm getting
hit between the eyes with a hammer.. I my
self think its allergies..

I took, well no, Penny took, some pictures of
me out on my deck yesterday but sadly I am
not going to put them here. Its so sad that
I feel I cant trust anyone with my photos here,
but if you would like one write to me and I
will send them you. Use this addy:
right to punish everyone for the deeds of
one, but I have to do this, I don't want my
photos all over the net. Sorry..

Post time and this GORGEOUS WEEBLE
is hungry and she needs food. Might help
get rid of this headache... Keep well and
God Bless

~Charter Cable Sucks~

Graybelle is sticking her tongue out at Dutch

Well today has started off crappy.
Besides not feeling the greatest I
am totally mad at CHARTER CABLE
AGAIN! They were sposta come
yesterday and didn't, so I called and
the guy says TOMORROW.. ok, well
today is yesterdays tomorrow and at
10 am when the guy wasn't here I
called CHARTER again.
Dutch loves bags too
The guy meant tomorrow as in Tuesday!
This is so aggravating and yet there is
not one thing I can do.. The girl this
morning said I could have someone come
between 5 and 7 tonite.. That time of
day I am OUT of this chair and the only
reason I will get back in it is to go to the
potty. SO its on the books for tomorrow
being Tuesday between 8 and 10.. lets see
if they show up. I am so fed up with this
company and if I could afford it I would
get the dish.

Other than this all is well, no damage from
the storm yesterday we all survived. The
hail wasn't big enough to do any damage
anyway. We 3 scaredy casts that live here
are such big chickens when it comes to a
storm. LB hides under the couch and Dutch
gets on the back of my chair or in my lap.
Poor mom here aint got no one to comfort me!
My prince I have given up on, he either fell
off his horse or the horse died :-( hes a no-
show like the cable guy...

Penny is here and we are all clean and ready
for another week. We havent decided yet
what shes gonna make for lunch. She IS
gonna make that apple loaf for sure!
Post time and this GORGEOUS WEEBLE
has a few emails to write. Hope you had
a great weekend, keep well and God Bless

~I Remember~

Dinky on the deck railing

Todays date, we in America will never forget.
My heart goes out to the family and friends
of those that were lost that awful day, It
is such a horrible tragedy that was deliberately
caused. Its not like a flood or tornado, we as
people didn't cause those acts of nature. I
think of all the thousands lost in that tsunami
in Japan, its different. Hateful people didn't
cause that. Its so sad and I for one don't need
to be reminded to remember, I remember.
Dutch sees Dinky, neither cat is happy.
That awful day I was in the hell home. I do
remember seeing it on TV but that's all. I
was still in a bad mental state and perhaps
I should be glad I don't remember all the
TV coverage, that my mind was off thinking
of ways to get out of there. Which happened
only 4 months later, thank you Lord..
Today I'm waiting for my favorite cable
company to come and fix my cable. it went
out Friday. All my premium channels don't
come in.. SO, needless to say you KNOW
what I did, called and complained as I
always do. I have never had so much
trouble with a cable company as CHARTER
CABLE !! The bad part is there is no other
cable company here in this area..


I don't like when these cable guys come to
my house. In fact I don't like ANY strangers
coming here ! Just being safe. What gets me,
that I don't understand is this... I have 2 tvs
one in the livingroom and one in my bedroom.
Only the one in the living room is acting up!
How can 1 work and 1 not, when they are both
on the same cable? It upsets me when this
cable goes out.


I don't know what is on the menu today as
nothing really sounds good, plus I have to
make it and I really am not up to it. I had
a rough night, I didn't sleep well at all, a
nap may be on the menu!

Hope your're having a good weekend, Keep
well and God Bless..

~Birds Are Back ~

see the little sunflower...
It is a totally gloomy Saturday. Its so dark
out that the yard light is staying on. Its wet
from the rain that's been coming down since
yesterday, which makes it damp and then I
ache. I can feel the change in the weather
already. Fall is coming soon, then the snow.
I am already worrying about the outside cats,
but its 3 winters ive been here and they have
survived,.
I have been worried about not seeing any
birds at all lately. But I was so glad to see
them back. Saves me on birdseed, but Id
rather see the birds. Even the finches havent
been by the sunflowers like last year. The
seed that are in the planter out by the bird
bath has bloomed! I was so surprised to see
that.
I got some news from Donnie that Amber's
baby boy had a seizure of some kind, they
had to fly him up to Borgess in Kalamazoo.
Hes only a few months old, poor little guy.
Donnie said he would be home today. I
sure hope hes ok.
I have no idea what is on the menu for
today as I didn't have Penny make any
thing ahead for me. The pot of beans
she made Wednesday sure were good.
I'm sure this GORGEOUS WEEBLE
will find something. COA brought some
fresh apples and peaches yesterday
and I got a good recipe for apple bread!
3 guesses what will be made Monday.. :-)
Keep well, have a good weekend and
God Bless...

~Nurse Visit~

I'm late today but Fanesse came by. Its her
usual day, shes my nurse. I told her about these
spells, and she thinks it may be a heart attack.
I do too. But to have 2 in a week is NOT good.

I had a bad night last night, my chest kept
hurting so I had to keep changing positions. I
will tell my Dr when he comes. I expect him to
come by soon.

Its a rainy day today and I am sneezing and
my nose is runny and I have a head ache, I
just cant win can I,,, :-)

I talked to Donnie yesterday and asked him
what he wanted for his birthday on the 13th.
He said he would let me know. I have NO
idea what to get him. He plans to come up
and finish the dec soon. Hes had a job with
Gerry that they have to finish.

We put on a pot of beans yesterday and it
smells wonderful in here. Small navy beans
in the crock pot. We havent made them in
a long time. I wish I had some cornbread
to go with them! :-)


Time for this GORGEOUS WEEBLE to
post this and eat.. Keep well and God Bless

~I'm Here~

I just looked and I cant believe I havent
posted since the 1st.. I KNOW I wrote on
Saturday... I must be really losing it~! I
apologize for being so lax.. Its not like ive
been busy or anything! Don't worry I'm here.
Ive had a rough start today too. My BP was
171/97. I was nauseated and my chest hurt
and I'm sneezing my head off!!! I think I
have alergies,
I had the best day Monday. Penny brought
one of her kitties, It is the most beautiful
kittie. Long hair and just a great personality,
We put her down on the floor and she found
the cat food and ate like a little piggy! SO!
I named her Petunia..

I enjoyed having that kittie here. Dutch was
totally mad and LB he looked at her and gave
me a awful look and went under the couch all
day. Dutch hissed and spit and looked like he
wanted to just hurt that kittie ... I sure would
love to keep her, but my boys come first and
I would feel awful if I got a kittie and it got
hurt cuz of the boys...

I havent seen that first bird in over a week
and I have no idea whats wrong. I did see
a flock of geese in the V formation flying,
but they were headed northl. I think it was
just a practice run..

Time for lunch, this GORGEOUS WEEBLE
needs food, and again, my apologies for not
writing, Keep well and God Bless..

~Rough Start~

I woke up at 7 and got deathly sick so badly
that I had to go back to bed.. Just between us
it sure felt like a heart attack. I got some bad
chest pains, not my arms, then I started to throw
up and that went on for a while, when it did
finally quit I went back to bed and went right
back to sleep for just over an hour.

I laid there for awhile cuz I didnt want the same
thing to happen again. I slowly got up and I
was so glad I felt better. I will tell my nurse
about it next week when she calls unless this
happens again, which I sure hope it doesnt
cuz it scared me..

My chair needs charged so that is gonna be
my excuse for going back to bed again. I
forgot to charge it last night, which at night
is usually when I plug it in..

Penny came yesterday and was a tad late,
but she had good reason, when she went
out to her car she found one of her cats
had 5 babies under it, she took them in
side and got them settled in a nice box.
Beautiful kitties too.. One looks polka
dot. I will put their photos here tomorrow,.

Right now this GORGEOUS WEEBLE
is gonna post this and charge my chair.
Keep well and God Bless...
