Good Early Evening!!!  This has been a very l-o-n-g day - and it isn't over yet.  (Just fixed a cuppa hot  chocolate with marshmallows.!! ) I used to have marshmallows with hot chocolate - Swiss Miss now.  Gave Nikki some too. She likes everything I like.  On sleepless nights I come up with many things to write to you.  Then I sit down here and become "key-tied"

Have you ever had  Kirby demonstration??   I have had several and the most recent was Thursday afternoon.  When they come to the door I tell them "I can't buy so you might as well not bother"  but they always assure me that they get 25$  for every demonstration  and they are working for some prize and tis demonstration will halp them win.    Soooooooin they come with all their boxes and hoses and start putting them to gether so the can do their thing.  Sid you know they have to use 100 of those white discs to furfill the demonsstration requirements??  Well he had little white circles with varying degrees of grayness he had accumulated from my rugs arranged all voer every flat space.  i have a Dirt Devil and he was comparing whatr the Dirt Devil had been doing and what the KIRBY could  do!  No comparison, of course!  My Dirt Devil wasn't as shiny as his KIRBY.  Then he used black discs to vacuum my comfortable lounger and got little white tacings on the black disc.  He announced these to be  dead dust-mites.  He figured this would make the sale, I guess.  But I said  " we have been livinng in peaceful coexistence for a long time"  You know all this "demonstrating" went on for four long hours.!!  Oh yes, he also shampooed my living room rug - so I guess it was worth all the revelations.  Nex time I will REALLY put my foot down.    'Xscuse all the typos --  I think I may have a "short" somewhere              We are certainly seeing evidences of  "Gorebal Warming  - aren't we.  Keep on top of the weather                   God bless you ALL the time----                                                                                                                                                    

Yippee!!!  Maybe this post will "take" - hope so. I get a mite depressed when I invest  time in something I can't see - I know, the definition of Faith does not depend on -----sight//////   (and now my "delete " key is on strike!!)oh well, so be it.  I guess I need private lessons.......but I did want to tell you about my car battery which stopped dead sometime last weekend - just went clickety-click really fast - not good -- So I  phoned a man, Russ, from my Church.  He came a while later and took the battery out to take to Auto Zone to be charged overnight.  The batt ery came from Auto Zone originally.   When he came back he was all smiles - said Auto Zone said they didn't haave the time for all the paper  work so they gave me a new battery!!!! The warrenty for the one that quit  was up next month.  God's timing again.............................

Now - I will see if this is "seeable" -Happy New Years - we have had numerous celebrations for Christmas - it has been a joyous time

but quite wearying - usetobee
