~Calendars For You~

                                    

My good friend Susan lost her dad... We say
lost, but hes still there with her and she has
wonderful memories, so maybe passed on is
the best wording... I know how she feels, my
dad passed in '89...and I miss him to this day.

As these years have gone on, its been easier
to accept his absent from my life, but at
first it was so very hard.. My dad was such
a wonderful man and a huge influence on me
that I really didn't realize till now ... But he
made me the strong person I am, so did my
mom, they made me independent and taught
me that the very best person I KNOW I can
rely on is ME...

I remember when I found out my dad had
passed, I phoned home to tell them I would
be arriving earlier than expected it was
then my mother told me  "you don't have to
hurry now dear, daddy is gone".... The 6
hour ride home was awful... I was travelling
by bus from Buffalo  NY to Upper Michigan,
that was the longest ride of my life. It took
me 3 years before I could give away his things.
I wore his watch most of the time until I gave
it to my son....

We have snow, then we have snow, AND THEN
we have MORE snow... For the past week it has
snowed every day.. and the storm we just had
yesterday about snowed me in... I learned the
hard way about staying stocked up.. I keep
enuff food for the cats for 2 weeks, me I
always can find something and I have a nice
supply of groceries and I even have one of
those old hand turn can openers, Penny still
wants an electric one, but I have to much on
my counter now... :) and I just got a mail about
the outdoor solar lights will work indoors if
you need them so you don't have to worry
about batteries.. :)

I put a couple of my calendars up there for
y'all but specially for you Mary :)  Y'all stay
safe and warm, and this GORGEOUS
WEEBLE will be back soon...

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.....



 

~New Arms?~

I saw a show on TV a few nights ago that has
stuck in my head.. The show was about a
soldier that came back a quad.. no arms or
legs. A man died, they cut off his arms and
attached them to the soldier.... AND he sat
there, moving the fingers and arms, he was
above elbow too!  He was doing great...

I couldn't help but watch him, they didn't
attach legs, which I think since they have
to carry so much weight a transplant wouldn't
work... maybe... This is just so interesting but
scarey.....

Pennys words when I told her were "This is
Frankenstein stuff!"  And it is really.. But then
things I remember when I was young that was
considered science fiction now are happening!
We can talk out of our shoes :) That show
Get Smart, all he did was made up, but not now.

I think this replacing body parts is wonderful,
If a heart transplant would work I would do my
best to try to get one, but it wont help me, all
my arteries and veins are useless and they cant
replace all those.. So no transplant for me... :(

We are having a massive snow storm. It has
been snowing here for 3 days... I bet we have
at least 6 to 8 inches if not more out there.
Penny said the roads are terrible, the snow
is coming down so hard the plows cant keep
up with the city streets let alone out in the
country... Carl plowed my driveway yesterday
but you cant tell today. Penny was here this
morning, cleared a path to the house and out
front, which Steve cleared yesterday.. By
the time Penny left 3 hours later, you could
not tell she had shoveled at all... Its SNOWIN,,
Ive not seen a storm this bad in awhile, plus
its so flippin cold! My furnace is steady
running , my bill for last month was almost 80
dollars so I can imagine what this one will be.

Well, I'm gonna go watch it snow, I sure wish
that kid good luck with those arms...This
GORGEOUS WEEBLE hasnt had lunch yet
either :) So.. y'all keep well and God Bless...

Always, Lois ****
