EXCUSE,EXCUSES

Yesterday flew by like a bird, after I walked the dogs,I watched
The Believers Voice Of Victory on TV Jeremy Pearsons had an
author named John Beveres on he's the author of a book called
"Honor's Reward". Jesus COULD do no healing in His hometown
because of lack of Honor, Pople said,"ISN'T THIS the carpenter'sson?"
"Doesn't his Mother,Brothers and Sisters live here among us?"
(In other words who does he think he is?) For lack of Honor He COULD
do NOTHING. It's the same today.
Hi Everyone,

When I went passed Pat The Poet's house she asked me if I still
wanted her grape vines for a wreath,so after I got home I went down
with a cart with wheels and cut down the vines,also we exchanged
books, (just loaners) she has about 188 pages of poems,while MY
book is only 10 chapters long. Pat was a W.A.V.E. in WW2. I run
into so many interesting people don't you think?

Today I must strip the vines and put the leaves in the garbage can
also Dad thinks we should throw away Earl's old picnic table and
benches. (Good Idea).

The dogs are whining,no doubt wondering why they aren't on their
way,on their daily jaunt.(insert YESTERDAY after house ^ above)
I could have done it on the computer,but the paragraph was so neat.
I didn't want to mess it up.Love,Mom~Gramma~GRgramma~Thelma.

THE END...

Hi Everyone,

Trina was Melva the one and same from"THE WORD CENTER"?
WHO I remember from "THE WORD CENTER' was Al Vieu,who
I saw in the lobby of a theater where Dad and I went to see the
story of Mathew,(The Mathew of Mark,Luke and John.Mathew) I
was just a new Born-Again Christian and this man(I didn't know
his name at the time)came up to me and said,"the Lord said,
YOUwill never be without money."
Later I saw him at "THE WORD CENTER"And heard his name,
He was also a friend of John Piel.(It's a smallworld).

Today Flynn and Tess are not coming over,Jen is picking them up and
going somewhere(?)right from school.

I have so many plans for today,most involves buying somethings from
our NEW Hardware Store. I Love Hardwares Stores,Actually you see
more women in hardwares stores looking for stuff. The house down
the block is putting new siding on.It's called Dutch Siding,it's grey,but
looks kind of greenish,it looks like logs. HIs wife picked it out,when it
comes to decorating Men SHOULD always listen to their wives.

See you next week be The Good Lord willing,Love,M~G~GrG~T.

so,sew,sow.

So sorry I missed yesterday,it was a day of forgetfulness.
We forgot that on Wednesday,Flynn and Tess get out of
school at 2:28 instead of 3:28,we were an hour late,but
there they were waiting for an hour,playing on the playground.
Flynn playing 4 square and Tess hanging around and
riding someone's bike and swinging on the Monkey Bars.
there were about a dozen kids,still there and we noticed
other parents coming late also,we were one of the early
late ones.

Tess went to The Lutheran Nursing Home on Monday her
partner was Margaret who was 89,"She's older than YOU
Gramma."(It was a field-trip.) Tess wheeled her back to
her room,I bet that was SOME trip with Tess at the helm,

I've decided to start eating healthy,no need to buy another
"Eat Healthy" recipe book,I have dozens of them,practically
brand new. I'll just crack one of them open and DO what it
says to do. I noticed that most of the people at Manor Park
where Aunt Davida resides have a fat belly. If that's what it
takes to end up in a nursing home,well I don't want it.

started writing early before I take Lily and Daisy for their
daily trek. We'll see if that works out better. Today is of
course Aunt Davida Day, Washing Day and Shopping Day
WHY,I wonder does it all fall on THURSDAY? I dunno?
Love~Mom~Gramma~GrGramma~Thelma.

A short note.

HI,
Since I have no letters to reply to, and not much is happening
around here,PRAISE THE LORD for that too. and since I have
only 4 minutes till My TV show, I'll have to sign off,Love,ME.

The Partys Over.

Hi Everyone,
Dad made it to the party(he reluctantly came inside to eat, at Dorothy
Pospisils urging)
He had a lingering cough,but not too bad. I was glad Dorothy insisted.
We had a good
time. I guess there will be one again next year.WE took the '48 Dodge
over,All the oldguys swarmed around it,Dad honked the horn for them.(r&n together looks
like an m: rn)

I think I'm over being a FOOTBALL FAN, That game is just too rough for me
to watch.
I went to bed early and woke up at 1:49AM, Woe is me. I did do some extra
praying.

I need to get busy this morning, I got 2 magazines in the mail
Saturday,which were
still in the mailbox this morning, I put a letter in the Mailbox to Ben
Schoenborn
who couldn't make it to the party because he had a cancerous lump rmoved
fromhis face,We all signed a card to send to him.(anyway what I was going to
say was)
I looked through the magazines so I'm behind schedule.

I haven't walked Lily and Daisy yet either, YOU all may think, WHAT does
she HAVEto do? There's always something,you know,Even us retired people,
Something always
pops up believe me, those of you approaching "The Golden Years".

That's about it from these parts.Love,Mom~Gramma~GrGramma~Thelma.

No Fish Today.

TOMORROW is the big day,WELL semi-big, THE -UP-NORTH-PARTY.
Pray thet the cough that's lingering on, on Dad will leave. I don't think
I
like going to parties alone.

HI Everyone,
Friday,this week has sped by as they seem to be doing lately, not just
for old people either, school kids notice the time flying by too.


Flynn read the E-Mail about the kind and merciful Gramma that felt like
punching his little face in. He crumpled it up and threw it in the
garbage.
KIds are so sensitive nowadays.

Can't think of anything to write about,SSSOOOOO have a nice week-end.
Love Mom,Gramma~GrGramma~Thelma.

read~reed~red~read..

Hi,ho,hi,ho,It's off to work we go.
Just think about this,Flynn would not eat but a teaspoon full of
Weinnie,Beanies and American-style fried potatoes,and that
with a wrinkled up nose and a snear on his face. I, as a loving
merciful Gramma resisted the temptation to smash his little
face in.
I just read the Subject-line , it sounds like it would make a cute poem.
Read,Reed,Red,Read, Time for you to go to bed. Get the drift?

Shopping today ! Washing clothes today ! Aunt Davida night,(today)!

Thanks for the Bible reading program, maybe I'll do the same after I
finish
2nd Chronicals today, Craig did you get the message from John,telling
you where to go to get information on the meaning of names in the
Old Testament?,Veddy Intahresting...Isaiah means:: Wrestle with God.

::Wrestle with Man.

That's about all my busy schedule will allow,plus you all know that I AM
81,
Albeit in excellent health and Blessed Without Measure.Phil Driscole (SP)
wrote this little ditty,(you can figure out the music to it,it's very
simple) If not
call me and I will sing it out loud to you.
"Oh, The Blessing of Abrahams on me,
Oh, The Blessing of Abrahams on me,
Oh, the Blessing is for me,
And The Blessings flowing through me,
Oh, The Blessing of Abrahams on me." Love,Mom~Gramma~GrGramma~T.

flower,flour,floure'

GOOD MORNING,
Floure':French,to recline in a lazy manner.(I just made that up.)
We took Flynn and Tess to their home yesterday after School
because it is their Slovak Dance Night and it's too far from
here to Menominee Falls,they're always late. I walked Hope
about a mile up and down the block,then Hannah about four times
up and down the block,when Jen came home.

What to make for supper tonight? I believe if I lived by myself,
Iwould eat beans and rice for every meal, with perhaps different
types of beans,with perhaps different spices and sauces. I love
the Bar-B-Q sauce "SWEET BABY RAY" It was Mike Janik's
favorite. One day while at Jen's house I tried it,
and have been
hooked on it ever since. Just one of my tid-bits that I throw in
once-in-a-while.

The Biggest Loser is back on for another season, They say you
can log on to biggestloser.com and join in and lose along with
the people on the show,eating and exercising the same as they.
Boe or someone else will have to do it to include me, I don't
seem to log on to things like that too well,But then I know what
to do. Take this round stone heat it to a moderate temperature,
rub in on the Appestat nerve and with proper diet and excercise.Viola.
The pounds will just melt away. ( I just made that up too)

That's the scoop from these parts.Love,M~g~GrG~T.

prey~Prays~PRAISE.

I just wrote a long letter and got stuck in the spell-check on the
word scoliosis, I'm not about to check it out again, so here goes once
more,"you have no messages in your Outbox" so I'll start all over again,
Hi Everyone,
I walked the dogs this morning one-dog-at-a-time then I went to The Bible
-
Study at Church,but no one showed up,I'm not a regular anymore so perhaps
they are meeting at peoples homes again because of all the little Babies
that
are showing up at Church. Anyway I read Ezekiel 38 & 39, (If I were Gog
and Magog I would be shivering in my boots)While waiting for someone
to arrive.Then I read the last book of the Bible I am reading outloud
I've
read all of them aloud,(Faith comes by hearing and hearing by The Word)
That's why I decided to do it. I left 1st and 2nd Chronicles till
last,(should have
read them first.I READ EVERY name in 1st Chron. )

Then I wrote Did anyone happen to see "The Doctors" on channel 58?
It was about plastic surgery on a 15 year old Vietnams girl with a 12 lb
tumor on her face, It was benign and could have been removed when
it was small,but she lived in a remote part of the country and Doctors
there said nothing could be done. A Missionary contacted a Doctor in
The States and they preformed an 11 hour surgery they had to make a new
jaw for her and attach all the muscles to make the jaw work. they brought

her out on TV 3 months after the operation she is a cute little girl
But needs several more surgerys, She will need teeth implants too.
She had a sweet smile. The Main Doctor said,(her name is Lai) Changed
my life I no LONGER get upset with slow traffic or any other minor
problem thinking of all the problems Lai had for 12 years. They showed
the actual operation on TV after it was over the Doctors and The Nurses
wept.
Tonight is another episode about a 56 year old Mother who is carrying
triplets
for her daughter who can not complete a pregnancy.

I wrote something else,but I forgot what it was.Love,M~G~GrG~T.

Here I am Bright and Early

Good Morning Everybody,
First of all,the weather report, Another Beautiful Gloomy Day.
It rained all week-end here,we needed the rain,The Latter Day Rain.
Dad is getting over the cough that attaches to this virus or cold
whatever it is. He said last night to himself(I only heard it this
morning)
"If I could only sleep for 6 hours without coughing" and He did.
Praise The Lord

I'm in a stenciling mood,Heaven help the bare surfaces around the house.
I found some (actually I was looking for them) I found some Folk ArtStencils.
Some Homespun Stencils and some run-of-the-mill stencils. I may have to
pray about this as once you get started stenciling, it's hard to
stop.All you
stencilers out there, you know what I mean. You become addicted,
Moderation in ALL things is what THEY say. Whoever THEY are.
What do They Know? Is it in Moderation that we Love one another, Is it
moderation to be kind and gentle, not doing too much for others?
That Reminds me We never sent a THANK YOU CARD to Kermit
and Shelley thanking them for the two piece Living Room set Davenport
and Love -seat. we have rearranged it again and they really look nice in
their new location. Thank you Kermit and Shelley ! !

Last week I was cleaning the bathtub around the faucet and the metal ring
fell off,I should say the rusted metal ring fell off in my hand,What to
do?
Dad was sick, Dad doesn't just patch things up he digs down to the
bottom of the problem,while I on-the-other-hand patch things up, as long
as the tear is halted and the leak stops I figure it's fixed, so I got
out
The-Plaster-Of-Paris,mixed it up,applied it to the bare spot around the
faucet,
when it was dry I applied 2 coats of mod-podge.(No leak,FIXED)I usually I
write Viola instead of voilas,but no one seemed to think it was funny
except me,and maybe Trina.(maybe voilas is not the correct spelling but when I
wrote as I
usually do voila the stupid spell-check spelled out viola)

That's about it from here,Ross started work today,he was off for a couple
of
weeks after his Pace-Maker was installed. All of UPS in Phoenix is
rejoicing.
Love,Mom~Gramma~Great Gramma~Thelma

I think I've licked the prob.

If not I'll conact Erin.Kevin or Mariah for help.

Hi Everyone,
Sorry about yesterday,I thought it was Juno's fault,but it turned out
to be mine. I was all set to cancel Juno and try Yahoo or some other
well-known server.

Thanks Ross for the interest, Yesterday I pulled up all the Marigolds
along side of the house(Not my favorite flower,it smells bad and
look sort of like weeds,long legged dandelions) I think I may just put
down some type of mulch,then next spring I'll add some lights that get
their power from the sun,(they don't need watering).

The weather is cooling off,FALL my favorite season of the year.
no bugs,no hot sun beating down on my head. I love working
outside in the fall,unfortunely the planting season is over,but that's
a small price to pay, we'll just get our fresh veggies from the
Pick'nSave.

I haven't been able to get The Woo's wedding pictures. Probably my fault
too.

Dad has contacted the sore throat (that's over with) now only the cough
remains.
but that too will go away in a bit. We are a healthy pair,Praise The Lord

I wasn't prepared to write this morning only trying to boot my computer
back into
working order,thus the lame letter.Love,Mom~Gramma~GrGramma~Thelma

Big problem

I'm not sure I'll be able to send out this message,
Juno hasgiven me only one 414 number I tapped that in,but Juno said
you have not selected a#.

Right on time,

A big HELLO,

Walked the dogs,stopped and visited with Betty Townsend, Sophie,
her Cocker Spaniel is bigger than Daisy and she's only 6 months old.
Sophie wanted to play with Daisy,but Daisy growled and let Sophie
know she doesn't like rough playing,Sophie is a teen-ager while
Daisy on-the-other-hand- is an adult.

What to make for lunch or whatever meal we call it when Flynn and Tess
are hungry. I remember growing boys at our house, about a half-hour
after the dishes were done I'd hear the refigerator door open or the
cookie
jar being raided.
Sept. 20th is our Up-North-Party at Benny's Restaurant on south 27th
street.
I just called Aunt Lorraine to see if she could make it,but she can't.
Aunt Lorraine said to tell Trina she finished the book The 23rd Psalm by
Philip Keller and she loved it. and Thank you.

It's now almost 1PM, so must Skidoo.Love,M~G~GrG~T.

Sorry I';m soooo late.

HI Everyone,
Trina just called and said she hadn't received my daily letter.
That was because I hadn't written it yet. THIS IS WHY.
I cut down 5 count them 5 small trees and made them into
bushes,not exactly Bonsai,but they will never grow above
three feet,for as long as I love here that's for sure,they were
hiding all the flowers out ther,plus the painted flowers on the
fence.

Then I mad Chili for tonights supper, I also made some muffins.
I took out the garbage, cleaned up some stuff in the yard(we have
2 dogs you know).

Today we take Flynn and Tess over to their house,because they have
Slovak dancing tonight. We're also taking some of our Chil over to
Jen, so she won't have to cook for herself tonight. Flynn and Tess will
come over here. till about 5PM. I thought we could take them over to
The HUman Society (Mabye they could pick up a rabbit as they don't
have one of those)they have 2 dogs,2 cats,2 birds.
Dad said we have to leave in 10 minutes so will say Adios.
This letter is not edited...

Oppsey I almost forgot to write.

Hi Everyone,
I've been so busy,and worn out after watching all the tennis matches,and football games, I must be getting too old for all that exercise.

Because of the time lapses I must just apologies for the lateness.and again tonight Roger and Andy Murry will be battleing it out,plusThe Packers and The Vikings, always a royal battle.

I promise tomorrow I will write bright and early, love Me

no substitutes.

Hi Everyone,
I know I'll have to make out another Address Book for my E-Mails,as Lori
has
has a new job, Annie has a new name and probably a new E-Mail address
too.

The reason the subject line is what it is,is that Jen was over a couple
of nights
ago and made me laugh so hard. Jen was saying she was going to make
Macaroni and Cheese,she had boiled the macaroni ,then realized she didn't
have any milk, so she used a box of vanilla pudding instead,it was okay
just a
little sweeter tha usual,she said to me," I am my mother's child.: then
.............
(in the voice that people think is mine.)She said"I don't know why my
reciple didn't turn
out,it called for chicken,I didn't have any,so I substitued baloney
instead,it also called for
vanilla,but the bottle was empty so I substitued red food coloring
instead, it called for
lettuce,which I thought I had,but didn't so I substitued rhubarb
instead.I don't know
WHY it didn't turn out." Perhaps it isn't so funny written,BUT using the
voice that
they all THINK is the way I sound, YOU would have laughed too. I think
she even
used more ingredients than I used.

Our schedule is a little different this year from last year, Jen isworking from 9 to 5.
she takes Flynn and Tess to school ,Dad and I pick them up fromschool,bring them
to our house,Jen picks them up at around 6PM. The kids like it better as
they don't
have to get up so early. they eat supper here. It will work out better
when I get into
the swing of things.
I was a bit timid about waking this computer up, I deleted out all theold mail,I haven't
gotten into the NEW mail,I'm hoping The Wedding pictures will turn upokay,Dad,
(Grampa, saw them at Boe's house,I wasn't available to go along at that
time)
Love,Mom,Gramma,GrGramma,Thelma.
