~Calendar~

this is one of my calendars on my photo

Ive not done one thing yesterday and since the
Packers arent playing I don't plan to do too much
today either. Tomorrow my visiting doctor is
coming. They couldn't give me a set time which I
hate when they do that, I guess theyre a doctor
short or something. I will know more tomorrow
they will phone first.


I am so glad we were spared that snow storm!
Lots without power, its awful.. Ive been hearing
that whoever does the predicting says we are
gonna have a bad winter...ill just sit it out like
I do every year :-)


Ive been making my calendars they are very
well liked. Ive gotten some requests to make
special ones like I do for myself..


Food time and this GORGEOUS WEEBLE is not
really hungry. I have some leftover goulash and
I may have that. Boring with no football game on.
I only watch the Packers. No need to watch any
other teams, the Pack is the best. They got
better without big mouth Farve... Keep well and
God Bless...


Always, Lois ****

~Not Much News~

Ive not written in a few days and no excuse as
to why not, other than ive not had a lot to write
about. My life is so NOT exciting that I got
nuthin to tell about :-)
The leaves are steady coming down and poor
Carl and Joyce have their work cut out for
them with all the leaves. Its been windy and
lucky me all my leaves blew into the neighbor
across the street! Carl should just wait till they
are all down. Theyre gonna be busy for days.
Its a busy week this week, Travis was here
yesterday and today Ryan, tomorrow Rebecca
and Friday, Fanesse(nurse).. By the time this
week is done I will be ready for a nice quiet
weekend.

Penny has been busy, we are trying to figure
out what to do about Dinky. He and Graybelle
stay here all the time now. She has that crate
thing and just loves it, specially when the
blanket is just washed and smells good. Dinkys
spot is next to the door, but I guess that's where
a guard should be. He keeps an eye out and WILL
attack.

Lunch time and of course this GORGEOUS WEEBLE
is hungry. I don't know what Penny made I told her
to surprise me.. Watch, shes gonna come in and tell
me she didn't make nuthin! THATS the surprise! :-)
She wouldn't do me that way.. So, keep well and
warm , God Bless...

~Calendar For Email~

Penny brought a pumpkin for out on the
deck. I took a photo of it when Dinky
was sitting there by it and made a calendar.
These calendars are for email and you can
put them as a desktop too. I have fun making
them specially when I have a great photo..
Penny fed the birds as usual and I noticed
when I was taking a photo of the deck that
the birds were flying in bunches back and
forth. I got a few great photos.
I sent an email to a friend to see if she can
help with Dinky. I love that cat and he wants
to come in so badly but he cant till hes neutered.
I wouldn't want to have it done and him be out
side and as bad an attitude that he has he would
be in a bad mood with the surgery and he and
my boys, I know, would fight.
Fuzz tried to sneak and eat yesterday while Penny
was outside keeping Dinky occupied following her
around. Well he spotted Fuzz came running up onto
the deck and slapped Fuzz so hard he fell over. I
cant have that kind of attitude in here. Dinky is
such a lovey boy,, to people.. other cats, hes not
good, he doesn't play well with others :-)


Beautiful day and I am enjoying it. I may sit out on
the deck once it really warms up.. I covered a box
and put a blanket in it for Dinky since he stays here
all the time. Well Graybelle has taken it over so I
will have to find something else for Dinky...


Lunch time and naturally I'm hungry... This most
GORGEOUS WEEBLE hopes you have a great
weekend.. Keep well and God bless..

~BRRRRRRR~


My deck is officially finished. I'm really glad.
Its wonderful out there. Now its finally finished
and I wont have that much time to go out there.
As cold as it is I'm NOT going out there. Its
so hard and just breaks my heart to see Dinky
and Graybelle and the others out there in this
cold damp and rainy weather.
I am gonna have a super good week as I don't have
that first appointment with anyone! My nurse is off
this week and so the only person I have to see is
Penny. I am gonna enjoy this. I like when I have no
one scheduled to come here. I have a lot of people
that come by and I am grateful they do, but I still
am gonna enjoy this week, its like my vacation..
Penny had to turn the heat on when she got here to
day. It was so cold in here yesterday I turned the
oven on for about an hour. So.. first thing she did
was turn the heat on, I'm not happy about knowing
my gas bill is gonna go sky high..But I cant handle
the cold any more than I can the heat. Feels good
in here now... :-)
I was so surprised to see all the birds back. The
woodpecker was here even.. Ive not seen him in
a super long time. He was having a treat with that
corn. Oh, I did find out that bait piles for deer
are illegal.. Penny told me. She sees a lot of them
specially now since they cut the corn fields.

Spaghetti for lunch and of course this GORGEOUS
WEEBLE is hungry.. stay warm, keep well and
God Bless...

~COLD!!!~

Penny is here today and we are trying to
decide what to cook. She has to plan a
menu for her house every day for the
5 guys she feeds and then for me; she
runs out of ideas. The price of groceries
is killing me. I get food stamps and I
used to last the month. Not any more. I
run out of them, then I have to pay cash,
which goes into my extras that I have to
pay cash for, like cleaning stuff. Then when
I need money for extra extras like ink for
my printer, I don't have it.


Its so cold in here today and its cold outside!
But I think its colder in here. I am just going
to have to break down and turn on the heat.
Dutch snuggled right up next to me all night
on my right side and LB was on the left, they
were cold, I had the woolby. :-)


This GORGEOUS WEEBLE, is closing as I
have to help make the list. My stamps come
in on the 16th, so time to restock. Hope you
had a good weekend, keep well and God bless.

~Windy Windy~


The doctor with southern care came by
yesterday, hes really nice. He is worried
about these "spells" ive been having, and
he agrees they are small heart attacks. He
increased the dosage on one of my pills in
hopes it will help. My BP is still high even
though I am taking my pills so he says this
med increase should help that too.

It is cold today and so windy that at times it
looks like a whirlwind of leaves all over flying
around. This will sure take the leaves off the
trees. Whats good about this wind is that then
everyone gets leaves in their yards, even those
with no trees :-)

Dutch is glued to the window watching the leaves
fly around. He gets so excited and taps at the
window trying to catch them. The outsiders are
used to it and are staying in the corner. Dinky
always stays here so I put a blanket in the corner.
We took it out of the cat house, washed it and
just put it on the deck since they wont go in the
cat house anymore and I have NO idea why.

Penny made meatloaf yesterday and it is so good,
you KNOW its gonna make a great sandwich today.
Of course, as usual, this GORGEOUS WEEBLE is
hungry. Hope you have a nice weekend...Keep well
and God Bless...

~Sheddy Tree~


I'm late today, and I really don't have a good
excuse. My nurse was here and the Doctor from
there was supposed to come by but got tied up
at the hospital so he is coming tomorrow. I'm
thrilled. NOT. I don't see a need but then its
their rules.
I hadnt taken my pills yet when Fanesse was here
and my BP is a tad high. 189/105. I immediately took
my pills. I kinda figured it was high since I woke up
with a bad headache. Ive not taken it again so I'm
guessing its ok, I will take it again later.

That pine tree out back, the long needle one is dropping
those needles so fast that the ground is covered. If this
was my place the first thing I'd do is take down that tree.
If its not these needles its the pine cones. Some pine
trees arent shedders like this one and are really pretty.
The one next to it is a beautiful pine, I had never seen
one like it before, almost like a willow tree.

We are expecting storms so I have to charge my chair.
Its making weird sounds. It used to be a silent runner
but the back tires are squeeking. I'm late here and
late for lunch, and..... this GORGEOUS WEEBLE of
course, is hungry! Keep well and God Bless

~Busyness~

Graybelle in the box

Penny is here and we are busy busy, seems
there is always something to do. My kitchen
and bedrooms both need makeovers. Ive
been in this apartment for 3 years and have
not done anything , not changed a thing and
its time.


tongue sticking out ..

This is short but I wanted to check in and
give a "hey", so y'all don't worry. Rebecca
was here this morning and threw us behind
schedule. She is doing ok, it was nice to
see her, its been awhile. I want to get stuff
done today cuz the rest of the week is gonna
be busy with company.


Anyhoway, hope you had a good weekend
and your week ahead is a good one, I'm
still a GORGEOUS WEEBLE, keep well
and God bless...

~Stuff Breaks~

2 jays
Wonder why it is when one thing acts up
everything else does too. Every so often,
every few days, my mouse will not turn on.
I have to unplug it from the back and put
it back in. pain in the butt, its not easy to
reach around back of this computer. Some
times I wonder why we have to have these
big boxes when a laptop can do the same
thing I'm doing with this. Well anyway,
my keyboard didn't work this morning.
jay up there eating, Dinky just looks, good boy....

My mouse, my keyboard, and my monitor ate
a image I had downloaded, well 3 images to
be exact. There was too much on my desktop
and I wasn't paying attention so they still
downloaded but into neverneverland. I know
they were here, cuz I was attaching something
in a mail and I saw them listed, but I didn't see
them when I looked at my desktop. Theyre some
where in a hidden desktop spare or something.
I tried moving the screen and I still didn't see
them. I hate when stuff happens and I don't
know how to fix it.
I have those 2 dummy books for the net and
computers, best thing I did, they are my reference
books, otherwise I ask Google, he knows everything.
I depend on Google for lots of stuff.

Beautiful sunny fall day, the trees are just great.
My yard is so pretty, specially now since all the
birds are back, I saw a robin and dovey is here
and today 3 bluejays. Dinky was right below and
the birds don't care. Dinky doesn't bother them
at all, no need, hes well fed. All my critters eat
better than I do :-)
I have no plans for today so this GORGEOUS
WEEBLE is not gonna do nuthin, just be lazy,
or should I say lazy.ER. :-) Keep well and
God Bless, happy weekend :-)

~Nurse Day~


I'm sitting here waiting for my nurse to
come. I don't remember what time she
said shed be here when she phoned on
yesterday. She knows to be here before
noon. I have a date with the evaluators
from Southern Care tomorrow. I'm not
looking forward to seeing them, theyre
very discouraging to me. They come every
3 months to see if I have gotten worse,
in other words, to me, they wanna know
how much longer I'm going to make it. I
feel like theyre on the sidelines like vultures
waiting for the corpse.
Nice day today, sunny and warm. The trees are
changing rapidly. Everywhere I can see all the
colors. I can only imagine how beautiful it is
all over this state right now. The leaves are
so vibrant. Its a nice time of year. My sister
usually makes a trip north this time of year.
I have a sore spot right in my right groin, Its
from sitting all the time. It gets really irritated
and red and sore, happens a lot and the only
real solution is to lose some weight. I don't
think I'm overweight, I didn't gain much back
from the 30 I lost but the constant sitting is
the cause. I showed it to Fanesse (nurse) and
she is bringing some good creme for it.


I see her pulling into the driveway so its time
to close. I'm still a GORGEOUS WEEBLE tho,
keep well and God Bless...

~Jays Are Back~


It is so nice to see the bluejays back.
Penny put4 new ears of corn out there
yesterday, and you can see in these
photos they're almost bare. Penny is
getting some more corn today. It will
probly go up in price now with hunting
season coming. I don't know if the
hunters are allowed to have bait piles
here in Michigan, but I think you can
in Indiana.
We, well mostly Penny, had to break up
a serious cat fight between Dinky and
Fuzz. Fuzz sneaked up to the food dish
while Dinky was over by the garage. Well
poor Fuzz got spotted and I sat in the
door and watched it go down.
Dinky got up to the ramp, and he started
shaking his head, side to side, while he
put out the most awful growl. He took
slow deliberate steps in time with his
head, ears flat on his head, then he
started to walk kinda sideways as if he
wasn't looking at Fuzz. He was,. :-)


This whole time I want to go out there
and try to stop what I know is coming,
if I wasn't in this chair I would have.
So, I'm telling Penny, "go out there and
break it up!" Penny gives me this 'are
you crazy' look and says, "I'm NOT
going out there!"


While Penny and I are going back and
forth Dinky is slowly stalking Fuzz ,
he makes one lunge and grabs Fuzz
by the neck and the fur started to
fly, the growling, screaming and rolling
all over the deck was amazing. I was
so worried I never did get my camera
out, Fuzz escaped Dinky's wrath and
ran off, he probly wont be back. Dinky
ran Tigger and Adolph off and they
havent come back. Earie and Graybelle
arent afraid of Dinky. What a cat :-)


We cooked a pork roast yesterday and
it will be even better today. I'm still
my GORGEOUS WEEBLE self, keep
well and God Bless...

~COLD Day~

I want you to know its COLD here
today. Its a beautiful sunny one but
BRRRRR, its a bit nipply. I am NOT
gonna explain that word, you figure
it out :-)

I joined Facebook and said I never would
but I had no choice, I have a friend that
wanted to join and so to help I had to join.
I may not stay. Ive heard lots of bad bad
stories about it and I have enuff crap, I
don't need more.

My stumps, lovelylittlelegs, or what ever you
call them, they HURT today and are making
me miserable. Its this weather changing. I
debated all morning should I turn the heat
on and I just cant, I don't want my bills
to go up. I'm still paying off that huge
electric bill I had. I turn the furnace on
I know my gas will go way up. I am thinking
of getting a space heater, or one that
just heats where you are, I'm only in 2
places here at this desk or on my bed. So
it might be cheaper for me.

Well I'm gonna go find some lunch and I
have to charge my chair.. I'm still a most
GORGEOUS WEEBLE, keep well and God
Bless.
