~SNOW!!!!!~

SNOW....

Well, we have about 10 inches of snow outside. I

called Donnie and Kelli to make sure they were ok.

Bad roads but they both made it to work. Penny

called and of course shes not coming. Shes not

only snowed in, but she has no electricity.. which

means no heat. I told her not to worry about

coming here today, I'm fine and snowed in. I sent

a email to Joe, my landlord and asked him if the

plow guy was coming... Right now with the sun I can

see the snow melting. Its falling off the tree

branches and drips from the roof...
Carl plowing

I did learn a good lesson last night though.. I was

in watching TV went out to the kitchen to get a

soda and the power went out.. I was in total black

ness.. I just sat there! I know where everything is,

but I'm not a good driver in this chair when theres

light, and dark? Well after I ran into the fridge,

I decided it probly was best to just sit.. I have

thusly learned to carry a flashlight in my bag. I

have my cell phone and nitro in that, it hangs on the

push handle of my chair....
see the kittie head and ear? Next to the big post..

SO.. after sitting there for awhile in the dark, I

was at a loss to think of a light and a way to get to

my bedroom where I keep my flashlights. My mom

kept one in every room and now I know why..So,

Guess what I did? :-)

My laptop was on the kitchen table, and I KNOW

where the table was cuz I'd run into it! .. My laptop

is also battery operated.. :-) I turned that puppy
on and lit up the whole kitchen.. I carefully put

it on my left arm rest and proceeded to go into

the bedroom and get 1 of the 3 flashlights I keep

in there... :-) Don't say it, Ive already said it to

myself a dozen times, "why do I keep all 3 in one

room?" The answer is cuz I'm not perfect :-)

SO.. NOW I have a flashlight in EVERY ROOM,

bathroom , kitchen, everywhere, plus as a backup

I have one in my bag.. This whole amputee thing is

a daily learning experience .. I KNOW!! Thankfully

by the time I got my flashlights distributed the

power came back on.. it flashed off and on 3 more

times, but didn't stay off, I think it knew I was

prepared THIS time :-)

Dinky left when the snow started and hasnt been

back YET.. I looked for him and when I was putting

his food out I looked by the cathouse.. I saw a

black head and an ear.. I panicked and came so close

to just going out the door, snow and all and plow it

if I had to, to help the cat! I finally got my camera

out, hey, I'm gonna think of a way to solve a problem,

let me tell ya.. :-) I zoomed in and looked.. It was a

flower pot by the side of the cathouse.. I was SO

relieved...that would be all I need to have a dead cat

outside.. I don't think I could handle that...

Ok, I'm gonna post this and try to make some kind

of arrangements to get plowed...Joe seems to not

be in a hurry and I watched Carl with his snow

blower and it broke down , he had to go home and

get his truck and tow it home.... what a day.. I hope

it gets better!!! Suns out it will :-) Color this

GORGEOUS WEEBLE gone for today, 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,

~Mailbox Snowman~

Penny is here today and is getting us all clean.

We did good and werent too messy. She put

my snowman out on the mailbox and I watched

the mail lady when she saw it.. She smiled and

that's good when something makes you smile.

She thought he was really cute... I think so too!

I don't know what I'm gonna do about Dinky.

He is getting so bad. He went after Graybelle

twice this morning and just slapped the daylights

out of her.. Shes afraid to come up on the deck

now.. I held her for a while this morning and she

is so skinny. I worry for her. Dinky I'm glad I

fattened him up.. he was so skinny but not any
more, I think hes close to the same size as LB

and LB is a BIG cat. Penny and I laff at how

mean Dinky is, and its cute, but I don't think

I will ever be able to let him in. I have GOT

to come up with an idea for a better shelter

for him...

My left scar is giving me fits.. That scar has

been a bother since day 1.. I honestly think the

doctors botched the job.. My right stump and

scar give me no problems at all.. but the left,

well I think they could have done a better job.

I'm using my same technique I used when I had

that awful infection, just keeping it dry and clean.

I hope it works,, all Id need is for that to get worse.

My sis is home and doing good.. I talked to her

yesterday...My granddaughter is having some really

hard times dealing with the loss of this baby. She

needs time, when Amber gets too upset she goes

and hugs Kirsten, her 6 yr old.. Death is so hard on

a child, they don't understand that death is for

ever, she expects them to bring "BooBoo" back

home and steady asks her mom and Donnie her

grandpa. Donnie says he looks in to her big blue

eyes all sad and he just picks her up and holds

her tight. when she asks. "Papaw, go bring Boo

back home"... heartbreaking....

Well I need to go and check on the outsiders.

I held Graybelle and now my 2 insiders are in

a snit, cuz I did! Jealous kids ill tell ya :-)

This GORGEOUS WEEBLE needs to post this

and check on lunch.. Dunno what its gonna be

YET... Keep well and God bless....

Always, Lois ****

 "God Bless You", is my prayer today,

~Cats~

Scratched and dirty faced Dinky..

Almost had a fight on my hands this morning. I had

opened the door to check on Dinky.. He was out

prowling last night. The boy has been in a fight! He

has marks on his face ... I had the door open and of

course nosey Dutch has to be in on everything I do..
Dutch almost got outside, till he spotted Dinky. I

heard Dinky growl and you see the look on his face,

he is not liking Dutch very much, probly cuz hes all

dry and poor Dinky is out in the rain and cold... I

HAVE to think of something to protect these cats.

Poor Graybelle wasn't in her house, but she still

came by to eat, she was soaking wet...these cats

drive me nuts worrying....

It has rained all weekend and I sure can tell.. My

left invisible foot is killing me.. Feels like someone

is stabbing me in my heel and big toe.. amazing still

yet that I can feel my long gone feet. My right once

in a great while, but its mostly my left that gets

those killer stabs of pain... and this ickky weather

sure doesn't help....

I have no plans other than to play on this computer..

as usual.. I have no idea what to fix for lunch.. I'm

not really hungry...But you know this GORGEOUS
WEEBLE has to eat, I cant take my meds if I don't.

So... y'all have a nice Sunday, keep well and God bless.

Always, Lois ****

~Happy Thanksgiving~

Turkey day a long time ago was a great day. Full of

watching the parades and eating some of the best

food ever. A great day... That photo you see me on

the left of my dad.. That was my seat at every dinner.

My sister was in college then. I'm not sure how old

I was Id say probly 13 or 14. My grandma(dads mom)

is next to me and her helper, Mrs. Fansher, is next..

To the right of my dad of course is my mom.
Next to her is my Aunt Dorothy, wife of my

dads brother Lawrence.. Hes probly the one that

took the photo!.. Next to her is my dads sister,

my Aunt Helen. She was secretary for one of the

presidents at one time, worked in DC. Whats sad

is that every person in that photo except for me

is gone.. Nice to have photos to jog your memory.

My team plays in half an hour.. Of course the

Packers... Theyre gonna win, trust me :-) I'm
gonna watch the game and have a piece of the

pumpkin pie that my nurse Fanesse brought for

me yesterday..

Id write more but I got to get set up to watch

the Packers win :-) This GORGEOUS WEEBLE

will be back, in the meantime, enjoy your turkey

and please include me in your prayers.. When I

count my blessings I count every one of you...

Keep well and God Bless...

~Things Go Bad~

Well it seems when one thing goes bad everything

else falls apart too. My computer speakers are

shot, but they are 11 years old, my TV, is 12 and

its on its last legs. The phone in my bedroom has
quit working. But that's not the worst of it...

My sister called me Saturday, she had just gotten

out of hosptial. Been in since Sunday... Saturday

about 3 am in the morning they rushed her back

to hospital they think she had a heart attack. She

was in last week for colitis . Please put her on your

prayer list, needless to say we are very worried.

Shirley is my best friend besides being my sister.

Shes stuck by me through all my amputations, she

has been by my side...

Penny is here and got us all clean, we werent too

messy over the weekend... Shes frying some potatoes,

sliced with onion and kolbassi slices.. Very good.

This GORGEOUS SAD WEEBLE is hungry... Keep well

and God Bless you and my sister...

Always , Lois ****

~Calendars for Email~

This calendar is animated..its a slide show..dont work here.

I'm running late today and its cuz ive been

playing on this computer making my calendars.

They are quite popular and I'm really glad cuz

I love making them. I joined a yahoo group and

send the stationery I make for incredimail. If

you just have a plain email account like gmail,

incredimail is wonderful.. You don't know how

good a email can be till you use this..


Its free and very easy to use. Its not a email provider

itself you need a pop3 like gmail to use it.. I have 4

email accounts and they all come to incredimail so I

don't have to go from one to the other to check mail.

Plus the biggie is the music. It has a style box that

you can keep graphics and the stationery but most

of all music... which I love. If you don't have it and

you get a mail from me you wont hear the song I'm

sending :-) .... its free, try it... :-)

Anyhoway, my friend Aud sent me a dog. Yup.. He is on

my desktop.. Chudleigh. It is so cute... He wanders around

down there and runs, brings his dish, all sorts of stuff.. He

sleeps then wanders off...Its a black lab with a red collar.

Hes just the cutest thing... I'm really enjoying him.. now I

have a dog!

My insiders and outsiders are ok..Dutch has been super

lovey and sticking to me like glue. Ive almost run over

him a dozen times.. When I go down the hall he has the

very bad habit of SLOWLY walking in front of me.. Drives

me nuts, cuz hes deliberately walking slow... and I have

to drag behind him.. He absolutely refuses to believe

the fact that I am old enough to go to the potty all by

my self.. He sits on the back of the potty and watches.

What a perverted cat.. At least LB has the courtesy

to sit on the sink and watch :-)

No plans for today but I need to charge my chair. I

know the Packers are playing but I don't know if it

will be on any of my channels.. I hope so.. Ill charge

my chair while I'm watching the game. In the mean

time this GORGEOUS WEEBLE is in need of food.

Keep well and warm, and God Bless...

~Nothing To Do Day~

Beautiful day today. Sunny, but not real warm.

Ive been trying to think of some way to make

a warm spot for the outsiders. With Carl closing
up the garage so the cats cant get in there, what

are they gonna do now, where will they go. I wish
they would go in the dog house. I'm wondering

what if I put that up on the deck, maybe then
they will use it again...
Graybelle loved that house and so did Dinky. As

bad an attitude that he has its probly him that
got mad and now wont let anyone in there. I
watch him out on the deck when one of the other

cats comes to eat.. He doesn't let them get past

the ramp, then he runs them off by chasing them
away but following them to make sure theyre gone!

Hes got such an attitude, but so loving to people..

Kids, just never can figure them out.. These cats
will drive me nuts.. ok ok.. nuttieRRRR :-)
new bird....

My nurse was due to come today but Fanesse called
and shes sick. Postponed till tomorrow.. I told her
if she still has the slightest tad of anything to stay
away from me.. When I get the flu or cold or anything
I get it a dozen times worse than the average person.
My sister is the same way, so we have to take precautions.

So, I have no plans for today other than to do what I
do everyday, eat and play on this computer.. I joined a

great group for jigsaw puzzles.. I LOVE doing them. It
gives me something to do besides bugging everyone on
my email list with stuff... I send good things tho, I'm

very picky what I will forward on to others.. What I
don't like I just hit that red X which is such a handy

thing..

Anyhoway, I'm gonna go do nuthin, just sit around and

be my GORGEOUS WEEBLE self.. y'all have a good day,

keep well, safe and warm...and God Bless....

Always, Lois ****

~Packers Are The Best~

How 'bout them Packers hey? That team has not
lost a game this season... I hope they go to the
super bowl again..The sports people all said that
the Packers will not be as good a team when that
Farve left.. they got better once they got rid of
him! Ive been a Packer fan always. I remember
my dad watching the games.. Most everyone in
the Upper Penninsula and Wisconsin are fans.


I lived in Green Bay for over 3 years and I did
love it there. I had a great job with EDS and
David had a good job too. Its one of the nicest
towns I have ever lived in. I never saw a run
down car or a trashy area, its one of the easiest
towns to navigate as well..and LOTS of stuff to
do, specially if your're an outside person...


Green Bay is on Lake Michigan and the Fox river
runs right thru it. Some great things to do there.
On home game days for the Packers the whole town
caters to the game.. most of the main streets they
turn into one way to make the traffic flow better. I
made the mistake of leaving a friends house just as
a game ended... took me over an hour to go 3 blocks.
I never went to a Packer game, its too hectic, but we
lived so close we could walk to the stadium,, many times
we were asked to rent out our spare bedroom to people
coming for the game.. The town loves the team...


Travis came today.. hes such a nice guy... he usually stays
about 2 hours .. all we do is talk... he will be back on the
7th, my nurse comes Thursday .. Penny might bring one of
her other babies tomorrow, the white one.. I hope so...


I'm kinda hungry and I have NO idea what I'm going
to have...I will have to make something as there are
no leftovers.. so..this GORGEOUS WEEBLE will have
to go and search for food :-) keep well and God bless...

~Hard Starting~

Rough getting started this morning. These mini

attacks are getting to be major. I hadnt even

done anything and got so sick so fast, I just

had to sit for a few minutes till it passed, which

its taking longer for them to ease up... I worry
for when one of these mornings this spell doesn't
ease ...

I think I have allergies, I am sneezing just awful.

I bet I go thru 2 boxes of Kleenex a week.. Once

I start to sneeze it goes into coughing. Ive never
had allergies before, but I do now, unless its a

lingering cold.. I dunno but I bet my nose is as
red as rudolphs :-)

I'm steady making calendars and am so pleased
at how well liked they are. I enjoy it.. I have them
made all the way ahead to January. :-) The one up
top of me will only be on this post till tonite when
I log off.. Its such a shame that it has to be like

that because of photo theives.. but that's how it

has to be... if you want one made just send me a

email and attach the photo or whatever you want
on it...


Fried potatoes with kolbasa today with onions. I

don't have any cabbage or Penny would add that

to it.. fried cabbage is so good... After the rough
start this GORGEOUS WEEBLE is feeling ok..

Hope you had a good weekend.. Keep well and

God bless...

~4 Letter Word~

Its begun... we have that 4 letter word..SNOW.

Started yesterday afternoon and was quite

heavy at times. When I finally shut down I
checked the kids outside, Dinky is in his new

house, well box. He wouldn't go in it at first,

but I guess he tried it and liked it. I'm trying

to think of something to protect them when
its really bad.. What I worry most about is the

cold, and it goes below zero, which it will.. I

don't know how I'm going to keep Dinky warm.
Ive debated and thought and worried so much

about that cat.. Hes so beautiful and very lovey.

But hes not neutered..and even if he was I'm

afraid he wont get along with LB and Dutch.. He

went after Graybelle this morning, which he

usually tolerates her. He actually attacked and

surprised me ! Bad thing was I could do nothing,

and Penny wasn't here yet. Shes ok but is

afraid to come on the deck now.. I just think

Dinky is a brat.. I wish I could find him a good

home.
I'm not writing a lot today as I'm helping to

clean up my closet and that's a major job...
So hi ho, hi ho, its off to work this GORGEOUS

WEEBLE goes... Keep well.. God Bless...

~Meet Wendy~

What a glorious fun happy morning yesterday.

Penny brought one of her precious babies to
spend the morning with me.. What a treat to

have that kittie here. She is the sweetest little
thing and loves to be held and LOVES to play.
We named her Wendy. She just looks like one..:-)
I called her that all morning and she answered,

well came to me...:-)
I was holding her and made the mistake of showing
her to LB and Dutch.. LB was so MAD~!! He growled

and hissed and acted like he was gonna attack. He

even gave me cause for concern. Dutch hissed and

spit at her and when I scolded him for being so
mean he looked so guilty, put his head down even. I
had to laugh...
I downloaded my camera and I had taken 81 photos..

I am so bad! I did delete some of them.. But I enjoyed

that baby kittie and I wanted to keep her so bad.. Shes

long haired kinda but has the cutest curled tail ! The

boys tails arent like that .. When Wendy walks her

little tail taps her on her back and as little as she
is, she chases her tail.. she, well Wendy could be a
Wendell :-) was such a treat for me.. But with the

same reaction from my boys, I cant have her.. I may

just get Dinky fixed and let him in, LB and Dutch will

have met their match with Dinky, he doesn't like other

cats unless he wants to.. but I know id be doing nothing

but breaking up cat fights... :-)
I'm waiting for Fanesse, my nurse. With all this stuff

going on my BP is not controlling at all. I'm trying to

count to 10 before she gets here and takes my BP.. ;-)
We are sposta get that 4 letter word today SNOW.

What the TV weather says, but Michigan weather? Best

forcast is just looking out the window.. This very most

GORGEOUS WEEBLE says, "keep well and God Bless."

Always, Lois ****

~Time Goes On~

I'm so glad its Tuesday and the funeral is over.
I talked to Donnie, his words, "Gran, ive never
cried so much in all my life when I saw that baby
in that casket, his little bonnet on, he looked
asleep." There were tons of people at the visitation
and the funeral procession to the cemetery was
huge.


Elijah was buried in a small cemetery in Union. It
was all set up when they got there. However Donnie
and the other grandpa and Elijahs daddy buried him.
They all filled the grave with the dirt. The coffin
wasn't even put into a vault. when Donnie
said how sad it was to see the daddy and grandpas
carrying this precious baby to his grave, I could
just see it and about cried. I'm glad its over,
time stops for nothing.


Ive not done too much of anything, and this week
is gonna be a nice quiet one.. I cant wait for tomorrow
when Penny comes.. shes bringing one of her babies
to spend the time with me while shes here. Penny
has to give some of these babies away which she hates
to do.. but 9 kittie babies, just too much.. There is a
shelter in Coldwater that will take them, but you have
to pay so much per cat. But they don't put them to sleep.
Penny has all her female cats spaded now...thank goodness.


All my kids are doing good. I was so worried about Fuzz.
Hes not been here for ages, but turned up this morning.
Poor guy, he was filthy.. Since Carl boarded up the garage
the cats cant get in it now, so I worry what will they do
this winter? I cant buy a garage for them :-) if I could
I would!


I have left over roast chicken and baked corn.. So
very good.. and that's what this GORGEOUS WEEBLE
is having for lunch.. I'm hungry, keep well and
God Bless..

~Leaves everywhere~

I just talked to Donnie and bless his heart he

is so devastated by all this. But what could be
worse than to lose a precious grandbaby. The
visitation is tomorrow and Elijahs funeral is

on Monday. Amber still has not returned home,

shes at her sisters. The obituary is in the

Sturgis Journal. Sad times, our hearts are
very heavy. Donnie is at home and plans to
spend the day in bed. His house is so quiet

now with everyone gone.
There is really nothing I can do to help.. I
did tell Donnie that he can come here for a
few days, just to get away, but I think he

plans to go home to Racine and spend some

time with his folks.. His mom is not doing
very good. She is on chemo. The cancer has

come back. Please put Barb in your prayers.
I watched Carl yesterday, he was using the
leaf blower to pile up the leaves by the edge
of the road, then the leaf vacuum upper will
come by and get them. It got really windy and
all his efforts were in vain, specially since there

are still a ton of leaves on the tree. You can

see all the leaves are back and all the ones still

on the tree... :-)
I have no plans today and I have no idea what I
will eat. This GORGEOUS WEEBLE just doesn't
have much of an appetite. I'm sure you can
understand why... Hope you have a good weekend,
keep well and God bless...

Always, Lois ****

~Sad Day~

Today is a sad day for me. I just found out that
my greatgrandson Elijah, he was only 4 months old,
passed away yesterday.. He never woke up from a
nap. Bless his heart.. Donnie is very upset and Amber,
mom, is devastated. we all are.


I wont be writing much today my heart is not in it.
I know you understand. To lose any member of your
family is heartbreaking but when its an infant, its
even worse. Elijah is in a better place...


I am a sad GORGEOUS WEEBLE today,, keep well
and God bless...

~Lemon Pie~

Pennys granddaughter

Penny is here today and got us all clean. We
are having meat loaf for lunch. Penny is a
very good cook. And we are having lemon bars
for desert. I love lemon anything. My dads
favorite desert was lemon pie, of course my
mom made the best in the state. :-)
Andrea as a skunk :-)

Penny brought photos of her grands getting
ready for Halloween. Kelli sent photos of
my grands as well.. I remember the fun I had
when I trick or treated...No kids have ever
come by here, but in a way I'm glad as I would
run myself ragged answering the door... There
was a Halloween parade in coldwater, I used to
love to see all the kids in their costumes...
Alex, Kelli & Andrea
Lovely day today, sunny and almost warm. I

smell my lunch and of course this GORGEOUS
WEEBLE is hungry.. Keep well and God Bless.
