~Happy New Year~

This is my newest calendar design.. I have a set

made for next year if you would like the rest....just write...

Do you remember where I was last year at this time?

I was in hospital... and I didn't get back home till the

end of February.. What a way to start the year....BUT

that was last year and look at me now.. I'm STILL

sitting here at this computer writing this.. now, is

THAT a good way to start off THIS new year???

I think so.. I say "THANK YOU LORD!"... Last year

was a doozy and yet I made it through but I HAVE

to add, I didn't get through this past year by my

self... If it werent for my dear loyal friends, It

would have been a lot harder.. This year is going

to be a good one...

AND, now I get to remind you every time I post

here of why THIS month starting tomorrow is

special.. Remember??? NO NO.. no going back

to look at last years post... :-) The 20th.. is our

Inauguration day, BUT..its also my birthday... !!!
So, plenty of warning and I expect TONS of

cards n gifts n all sorts of stuff :-) Nooo.. just

be my friend and love me... That's plenty....

Had a wonderful chat with my honeyboy Mark.

Hes finally getting to feel better, hes had some

health issues that had to be fixed. He is ok and

my little honeyboy, Tyler, is well... Wish they were

closer, I keep threatening to move to the UK

since I have so many dear friends there...might

be interesting way for this last leg of my life...

New year, new country...hmmmm might be fun...

Until then, this GORGEOUS WEEBLE wishes you

a most prosperous and healthy new year.. 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.....

~We Got SNOW~

You see what we woke up to this morning.. No one

told us this! I checked the wunderground weather

today and its sposta snow for 3 days! When I first

rolled into the livingroom to turn on my computer

this morning I glanced out the window and it looked

like it was foggy out... which we get that a lot.. I

rolled into the kitchen and up to the door like I

always do , to check the outsiders.. It must have

been snowing for a while! Dinky was in his house

and came out when I put his food down.. he was nice

and warm.. I was glad...
Graybelle showed up a bit later and what a picky kittie.

She was actually tip toeing thru the snow! With every

step she would look at me and cry.. She would pick up

each foot after she stepped and lick it off.. she does

NOT like snow.. Dinky don't care he can plow thru anything.

This is short as I have stuff to do, I just got a call

from Donnie and he is on his way up here to get the kids

gifts.. He has 4 wheel drive so I don't worry about him

on the roads.. Plus the plows have already gone thru here,

so I know they've done the other main roads. I got Alex

a race car set.. I'm anxious to find out how he likes it.. If

hes like his grandpa, he loves racing too.. :-)

I'm still a GORGEOUS WEEBLE and I'm holding my own

today, I'm glad... Keep well and God bless...

~Merry Merry~

First, Merry Christmas...I hope Santa was good
to you.. Its a quiet day for me.. I'm by myself, but

I have the company of my boys.. I thought I was

giving them a Christmas treat by opening a can of

tuna fish, well no, wasn't a treat to them, they just

walked away.. So I gave it to my outsiders, Dinky

and Graybelle, that wait for me every morning...

It just doesn't seem like Christmas at all to me. I

have my tree and gifts for the kids under it, but I

guess being by yourself its really just another day,

and me, I'm grateful for every day I have.

I Know the packers play today and maybe they might

be on my TV.. I know I have to charge my chair, its

getting low.. We have no snow ,, maybe that's why It

doesn't feel like Christmas. This GORGEOUS
WEEBLE needs some lunch.. my favorite today.. Keep

well and God Bless...

~X Ray Day~

I had a post all written out and I dunno but I think

I might be in the early stages of altzheimers or

something.. and I think Penny is worse than me and

shes 10 years younger~!!! I wrote the post and I

got side tracked by Penny leaving, the phone ringing

and the Xray guy calling...

My doctor ordered an Xray today.. They will come

here to me to take it.. they'll be coming from Grand

Rapids.. I'm not sure how long, maybe an hour? I

dunno.. I had to call them to find out WHEN he was

gonna be here.. any time now.. that was an hour ago...

Well .. I shoulda realize before all it would take is

writing and tada the x ray guy is out unloading the

machine.. Got to go... This GORGEOUS WEEBLE

is busy again.. Keep well and God Bless.

~Busy Day~

What a day.. Ive not stopped since I got up..

Ryan got here a little after 9 and didn't leave

till 10:30. Travis called and we decided to

change his day.. Rebecca I'm not sure if she

is coming or not.. Lots of times shes said she

was coming by and I never see her...

My doctor, Dr Hyde, he came yesterday with

his nurse.. They tried to draw blood..and after

4 tries I told them to stop. It can wait.. He was

concerned about that bad episode I had and

is scheduling a EKG or something.. They will

bring the machine here. My blood pressure

wasn't too bad, 143/101 .. that bottom number

is refusing to slow down...which means my

heart is not resting between beats.. that

could be my problem... So other than that I'm

ok.. :-)

Dinky is limping and I about cried.. This cat is

so sweet and that someone could hurt him is

just not acceptable... I wish I could follow that

cat when he leaves here to see where he goes.

I made a better bed for Graybelle.. its bigger

and she loves it and hasnt left since we put it

out there...

Penny brought cookies.. She is so happy finally

having the best cookie recipe in the world.. She

had her grands come over on Saturday, they

baked cookies and the kids decorated them..

Penny said they did a good job, but everytime

they finished 1 cookie they ate 2~~ ! Penny

said she had to hide them from her guys, they

were worse than the kids for cookie eating :-)

Lunch time and I'm hungry, what I'm having

I have no idea.. This GORGEOUS WEEBLE

always finds something.. Keep well and God

Bless...

~Snowed~

My boy Dutch...:-)

Woke to snow this morning, and its 11 now and its

not stopped.. Its not a heavy big flake snow... Dinky

was sitting in the middle of the deck and either he

melted the snow around him or he was there before

it started... He was soaked.. For some reason he wont

go into his box.. Ive changed the blanket but he just

refuses... kids...
The birds are out there just eating up a storm.. They

all were, the jays, a female cardinal, which I'm sure the

male was probly up in the tree, and the chickies, tons of

those little guys.. I like when I catch them mid air.. :-)
I feel pretty good today.. I'm still sneezing and coughing

like crazy, I don't know if its a cold or what, maybe I'm

alergic to my spoiled cats! Wouldn't that be awful.. Well

if so, id just give up the idea of this going away.. accept

it and roll on :-)
the white snow its hard to see the post :-)

Leftover Calico Beans. I gave Penny my Christmas cookie

recipe.. She made some and brought about 12 to me.. I

hate to admit it, but I only have 2 left ... these are the

best cookies EVER~!! trust me... they rise, like bread

almost.. the thickness you put on the cookie sheet will

double.. then frosting? MMMM I'm surprised I left

2~!~ The beans are what I'm having for lunch.. I tend

to wander :-)

Food and I'm going to make some calendars.. I'm still

a GORGEOUS WEEBLE, have a good weekend.. Keep

well and God Bless...

~Gloomy Day~

gloomy day

I am so sad its raining but I feel pretty good and I'm

gonna take advantage, who knows what tomorrow will

bring, so I have to do stuff when I can.. I have gifts

to wrap for the grands and great grands... I didn't get

a lot but things I thought were needed.. I got the

little grands talking books.. and the big grands I got

them some special travel glasses..that you drink out

of...They all carry drinks with them so this will be

handy for them.. QVC... where I did my shopping...

Its a great channel and I have to say anything and

everything Ive ever ordered from them has been

of the highest quality.. They make you feel good

about buying, once you do, they know you and all

you have to do is tell them what you want and the

next words are" It will be shipped tomorrow"..

Easy Peasy...

Penny made me the best meatloaf yesterday and

I mean GOOD! I ate half of it.. It wasn't that big

but.. I made 2 sandwiches.. not on bread, in a bun,

then I warmed it.. MMM...then of course I offered

a taste to Dutch, cuz he was right there watching

me..he smelled it.. sniffed and walked away.. So..

fooey on him. I gave some to Dinky.. that boy hunkered

down and cleaned out the bowl!!!.. Now, my old man,

LB, he was laying there on the floor watching too, I

offered him a bite, he didn't even get up, just rolled

over, his back to me as if to say, "how dare you wake

me up"...

Penny saw LittleBoy laying on the couch yesterday and

went up to pet him.. he usually likes when she rubs his

belly... she reached out to touch him, while talking to

him.. and apparently he didn't like what she said or her

hands were cold.. he slapped at her and was showing his

teeth.. he was MAD!.. Penny backed up... LB is a total brat

when hes mad.. I told her, DONT wake him up by touching

him...call his name first.. cats are worse than kids...

Ok, time to get something done today.. Donnie is coming to

get the stuff but I don't know what day, so I have to have

this stuff ready.. Kirsten, shes 5, if her gifts arent wrapped

she gets mad.. she loves to tear them open..I put 2 sheets

of paper and tape it really good so she will have big fun

opening her books .. Came with a Dora doll.. she will love it..

I'm still a GORGEOUS WEEBLE and I say "thank you Lord,

for all my friends and for giving me this day".. Keep well

and God Bless....

~Joys of a Small Town~

Carls house in back

The joys of a small town. Its great.. I was

so sick Sunday night and I had forced my

self to go into the kitchen to get something

to drink.. I went back to bed, as soon as I

got in my spot, I looked back towards the

hall and I saw that I had forgotten to turn

off the light.. RATZZZ... Well I was NOT

in any mood to drag my butt back into my

chair just to go out and turn the light off.

I can sleep lights on, off or whatever.. I

left it on, turned over and went to sleep..

Yesterday morning at 7:10, I looked at the

time. My phone rang, no one calls me at that

time of the day... I said hello, it was Joe, my

landlord.. He says "Lois, are you ok? Your

neighbor saw your light on all night"... I told

him why it was on and thanked him for being

concerned. He said, "Joys of a small town, we

watch out for each other".

I felt so good after that.. Ill be honest.. When

I'm really sick, its scarey to be alone. Anyone

that could help me, even Penny is 30 minutes

away. The neighbor, of course, was Joyce and

Carl, the yard people , their house is in most of

my photos :-) I can see their light on in the

kitchen I guess, Ive never been there, but I

notice if there is something different, and my

light being on, which it very seldom is, was a

difference for them and they called Joe.. I

feel better being by myself now, I know if I

leave that light on , they will come.. :-)

I feel pretty good today and all I can say to that

is "Thank you Lord". I'm gonna go and work on a

new idea for a calendar.. I'm still a GORGEOUS
WEEBLE, keep well and God Bless...

~BAD Start~

I woke up at 5:30 this morning having one of the

worst attacks ive had. I was in such pain in my

chest, and the nausea was awful.. I broke out in

a sweat, and just kept trying to find a comfortable

position. I was praying so hard, that this wasn't IT.

I hurt and felt that bad..

about 8:30 I got up and fed the kids, opened my

computer,looked at my mail and went back to bed.

I felt horrible.. besides this cold isnt helping. I

took one of my nitros and decided I was going

back to bed . I did and got up at 11:30.. Not a

good start to my day... The doctor told me these

are heart attacks and as my heart continues to

block they will get worse.. made me feel great...

So, I decided to come here to post so you knew

I'm still here, thank God, I sure had my doubts

this morning.. Now, I'm gonna go back to bed

and wait for the Packer game.. I'm still a most

GORGEOUS WEEBLE, keep well, keep me in

your prayers, and God Bless...

~I Hab A Toad~ :-)

I will apologize first off for this short post.

I started feeling bad yesterday afternoon.

As the time has gone by I feel worse.. I think

I have a horrible cold.. I'm sneezing and my

nose is running faster than me... Ive sneezed

so much my nose is redder than Rudolphs.. :-)
It came with lights and decorations on it..

My nurse came this morning, and I told her I

wasn't feeling well.. On top of this cold my BP

is extremely high.. 173/103.. not good.. She is

calling again later to check on me.. I think its

just a lot of stress.. worrying about Christmas

and the run-in I had with Rebecca.. She wanted

me to sign a bunch of release papers for Keystone,

which, if you know me I'm a VERY private person.

And I refused to sign them. Keystone has NO need

for those kind of papers from my doctor etc.. I

wont sign. So we went round and round and I got

upset about it, finally she left. But I think all this

is making my pressure go up, plus this cold..
Dutch has to be in the picture ~

I'm closing this post and I'm going back to bed,

I have a horrible headache. I did put my tree up

and of course I found it on the floor this morning

when I got up.. 3 guesses why it was on the floor.

This GORGEOUS WEEBLE needs a 5... Keep well

and God Bless...

~Christmas Mood~

I have no plans for today and after the busy

day yesterday I'm ready for a nothin tododay.

Ive been on a Christmas kick, and I want to

decorate here, but then I think about taking

it all down again, I get tired just thinking about

it :-) Even though honestly, I wouldn't have to

really do a lot if Id let Penny do it :-) Id like

to put a garland on the deck.. I'm so pleased

with it.. I told Penny yesterday that she can

take the pumpkins.. she forgot and walked

so close to them they coulda slapped her...

She will take them tomorrow...
Ive been making calendars for my friends.. I

use one of their photos like I do for my new

one up top.. I didn't have another one that I

had something Christmasy on.. like red.. I know

I could take one :-) I will ask Penny , maybe I

can get one with the boys.. I have the hardest

time to get a photo of LB and Dutch by each

other when they arent fighting.. They have had

a fight every day now for a week!.. I got that

one just by chance... If you want me to make a

calendar for you, just send me a email.. use this

addy: loiscalendar@gmail.com

Rebecca was here yesterday, tomorrow Travis

and Penny will be here... I'm glad I have today

to catch up on stuff... I might put up my tree,

its fiber optic all decorated , I just have to put

it in the stand and plug it in ... I would like to have

a wreath on my door.. I see where they have

lights that are on timers now... that would work...

I have to see what I can find...be nice to have

lights outside like I used to.. I almost would

OVER decorate years ago... when I got in the

Christmas mood, I was off and running... :-)

Time for lunch and to find my tree...I will take

a photo when I'm done putting it up... I'm going

to put it on the table here by my desk , in front

of the window, I will find out after its up if its

a good place.. might not be cuz the kids like to

sit in that window.... This GORGEOUS WEEBLE
is gonna post this.. and get busy..food first :-)
Keep well and God bless...

~Snows Meltin~

This weather- now its RAINING!.. and cold!.. I

had to change the blanket in Dinkys box it was

soaked.. I have thought and thought of what to

do for this cat and I just have no ideas.. I feel

so sorry for him and wish I could find someone

that would love him as much as I do.. This poor

animal deserves more than what hes been dealt.

Same with Graybelle.. she was here for breakfast,

but left, cuz her blanket is all wet I'm sure, and

I just don't want to go out there in the rain and

change it.. I wish I knew who let these cats loose

like this, I hope the same thing happens to them.

I worry for these kitties, they deserve better..
Woody is back...

I cant write much cuz I forgot to charge my chair

last night and with this crap weather theres no

telling if the power goes out.. I didn't mind the

power out when I lived in 3 Rivers.. I was a block

away from the hospital and that was the first place

to get power back, and so that included me ! When

the weather is bad I like to keep my chair on full

charge. just being safe...
I havent had my favorite fries n gravy for a long time

and I think that's what I'm gonna make.. Penny cut the

potatoes up for me so all I gotta do is turn on my deep

fryer.. If that thing ever stops working I would be so

very upset, Its a nice one with a lid, so no splashes

anywhere.

I hope your day is nicer than here and that your having

a good weekend.. I havent checked the schedule yet but

I think my team is playing today.. so, if true, you KNOW

what this GORGEOUS WEEBLE will be doing.. Keep well

and God Bless...

~Snow, snow, snow~

Yesterday was a rough day.. I had one of my

spells as I call them, which they are mini heart

attacks according to my doctor. Was a really bad

start and by the time Fanesse, my nurse, got here,

I had a raging headache. My blood pressure was

extremely high, 160/101.. That's explosive. I just

have to avoid stress but in these days and times

its next to impossible..

Its Christmas, so naturally I'm worried about a

gift for my grands and great grands.. Besides

not being able to afford much, I just have NO

idea what to get anyone.. Alex is 4, Kirsten 6,

Andrea is 1.. Id like to send something to Tyler

in the UK, but to mail a package, it has to be

in the mail very soon but the cost to send over

there is outrageous.. Danny in PA, Id like to

send something to him as well.. but I'm not

sure if it would be accepted.

We've had sun the last 2 days so the snow is

melting. Poor Penny when she got here yesterday

she had to shovel the end of the driveway to be

able to get in, then had to shovel from the driveway

to the house, THEN from the front door to the

mailbox.. This isnt her job and I feel bad when I see

her out there working so hard.. My landlord is sposta

take care of that, but, he didn't.

Whomever bought the ramp guys house built a snow

man out front.. I wish he'd come over here and make

one in my yard.. I love snowmen.. First thing I did with

the first big snow, was make a snowman... :-)

Penny is making a nice hamburger for me today with

sauteed onions and ketchup.. I can smell it and it sure

smells good.. She made a pot of chili for me too, for

tomorrow or Sunday, probly both, its a big pot! Any

howway, this GORGEOUS WEEBLE is hungry, so I am

gonna hit publish and go and eat.. Keep well, God bless.
