Hi, I am finally able to sit down here again on a Friday and chat to you all. And yes it is over coffee. I have recovered form my 32ozer. Speaking of coffee, yesterday on my way home from Missoula , I stopped at the coffee shack and order a 20 oz, latte with low fat milk and only 3 shots, oh and a little sugar free Butter Rum, YUMMY. Had a coupon for buy 1 get 1 free. What a deal, Wait 20+20=40 Oz's.
No really I learned my lesson. One was moms.
Took Mom yesterday to a new hearing aids place. Nice man. Mom has hearing aids now, but the lady she was seeing, keeps her waiting for over an hour each time, just to see her. The last 3 appointments she waited over an hour Mom just got up and left. That is why we went to a new place. Mom is taking back the ones she has now, for various reason. Getting new one that fit inside the ear. I know when Mom doesn't have them on.
Me. " Mom come and eat."
Mom gets up and goes to the window and looks out.
Me." Mom what are you doing?"
Mom . " I don't see any sheep in the yard."
I have plenty of days like that. She doesn't like to wear them , they make her ears itch. So back to the Hearing place we go.
Mom and I stopped at a Mexican restaurant in Lolo. Named Heraldo's. Very good place , if you are ever in Lolo stop by. Anyway after a great meal, I decided to stop for the coffee. I thought I did good by just getting the 20ozer. It was like dessert. Hey does anyone know what Mexican Flan is? I thought about it. Was going to ask, but didn't want to find out then not order it. So I had coffee instead.
Happy Wedding day Saturday to my niece Cheyenne, Wish I could be there with you. Much happiness and love to you and David. Send me pictures.
Here is my advice for what its worth. When you have a grey haired elder living with you and you have to take them anywhere , where you have to wait out in a waiting room for them , DRESS them in something bright. Like Orange, I take her in and wait for her and I don't know how many times I look up from my book because I see some grey haired old lady and think it is mine , but it isn't. I never knew there were so many Elders around.
Advise for the ladies, go out and buy yourself the bath washing gloves. They are great. They lather well, they even fit my big old hand. Best thing I have found other then shower body scrub for removing the top layer of skin. Come on ladies I know you all know what I am talking about. I was so smooth after I used those gloves. Well worth the 2 bucks at Walmart.
Question of the week. What shoes do you have from 1979?
I have a pair of Dr. Schols. the originals wooden ones with the leather strap, I still wear them.
My dad was badly hurt in a truck accident in 1979 and was in the hospital . My brother Fran came home on leave from the Navy and I was walking { Clomping ) around the hospital in them. Next thing I know is my brother taking me to the store and buying me my first pair of Nike's. Nice wish I still had them too.
Saw on EBay a pair of Dr. Schols going for $ 80.00 the original Mine not for sale.
Till my next talking, Peace and Happiness

FAT HAT TUESDAY
Wow it has been a busy week for me , so be sure to check out Chatting Over Coffee Friday.
So Fat Hat Tuesday, is on Thursday this week. This cute little fireman hat I made for my grandson's birthday. I crocheted it in about 3 hours. I did pull it out twice, the first time it looked way to big, It fit my hubby's fat head. The next time it was to small , looked newborn. The 3rd time just right, well it was his 3rd birthday. So I guess it was fitting..
The two red things on the yellow patch were to be axes, my daughter thought they were shovels. My grandson thought that this was the greatest hat ever. I also sent him a fire truck, and a kids bag of fire stuff . My Hubby is a fireman here MT. so he brought it home to put in the box.
My daughter said he was very happy with it all, and he put the hat on right away. It made him happy, and that is what Granny's are for. So I am happy too.
So till next talking , Peace and Happiness to you.

FAT HAT TUESDAY
Hi, here's a new one I thought I would try. I love hats , big hats, little hats, paper hats, hats that I made.
I love to crochet so a lot of my hats will end up on this Fat Hat Tuesday. This hat my BFF got for me to go along with her Buffalo Hat. This is one of my favorites. My bear hat, never wear this one while hunting in MT.
I was going to do a fat fashion Tuesday ,but figured you all didn't need to see that. So that is why I am doing hats. Hang with me I have a lot of hats.
I am just learning how to add pictures , soon maybe I will be able to do links.
Till my next Talking, Peace and Happiness

OMG, I went to a well known coffee shack around here to get a latte. You all know how I love my coffee.
I could drink it in the Morin, afternoon ,dessert, and before bed. I am talking I love my coffee!!!
I am looking at the menu for the favor' s of their sugar free syrups. Okay I have a choice of 12 favors. With nuts, without that nutty taste, white, chocolate, white chocolate. Rum, English toffee, etc. I decided on the English toffee . Okay that done and it only took to 5 minutes to decide that.
Now the size , you got 6 oz,8 oz, 12oz, 22 oz, and hold your hat batman, 32 Oz's , guaranteed to keep you going for two days . Guess which one I got. That's right 32ozer. I figured I would be sipping on that thing all day.That only took five minutes to decide that one.
32ozer , sugar free English toffee, LOW FAT milk ( got to watch the cals) with five shots, Latte please.
12 smakaroos later and 8 minutes waiting time. I got the two handed coffee.It barely fit in my cars drink holder. Now for the drive home , I did get it with the little slipping straws. Must maintain my lady like status. Okay their is straight away , and no other cars are coming in my direction, hands off wheel and slip. Back down, Spit it on widow shield cause that monster is HOT!!! Where was the fricking warning? I ask you "How was I know to know that it takes at least two hours to cool that thing down."
Pull over and put it in park , dig around under the mounds of stuff on backseat, aha I find a half full water bottle. (notice how I said half full) . I know I have paper towels I never leave home without them. Clean off inside of window and dashboard. I open lid off monster cup , blow , stir, blow, a touch of water. Lid back on , small sip. Still hot.
Arrive home, take the lid off stir, sip , alright I can drink it now. I drink, and drink some more, nowIcangaranteethat , thatistheBESTcoffeeever,and whatdayisitTIMEigotplentyarrrggggggggg..............
* Missing my wife , last seen wearing pink PJ's , one brown slipper, may have lost it by now.
If found please do not approach on foot , she may be dangerous. Call Victor Fire Department.*

Chatting Over Coffee Friday
Well it is finally chatting over coffee Friday, so that means pj's all day and coffee.
This has been a quiet week for me , someone I know told her cold to pack up their stuffy nose and cough and get out, well it did it moved to Victor MT. You guessed it , it came to my house snotty , stuffy , cough and all . I feel like I have a cold. {Thanks Julie}.
I did take my mom for a hearing test yesterday and just as I have known all a long ,and the Doctor confirmed it , She is very hard of hearing. They tried hearing aids on her, and I talking in a normal voice ask her if she could her me? Mom " Quit yelling at me!". Glory be she can hear. So we got her hearing aids, will be here next week. Mom and I was hoping they would just give her some then , but they didn't. Long ride home. I have to repeat everything I say . It's a wonder that I don't type that way.
Marty went back to work last week. Thursday, so he has been at it for 7 days, I think he wants to take a week off now after a year of not working, he is not use to it. I think the only reason he went in today was cause it's PAY DAY. Money to spend!!!!
Lets see, there is the light bill , phone bill, gas bill, I am sure you all know this story.
I did spend one day patching 7 pairs of work jeans, never thought I would be doing that . But the hubby comes to me and says" I got nothing to wear to work." I knew that couldn't be true he has a dresser full of jeans, so I took him by his huge hand and showed him the jeans, and he showed me the holes in the pockets and the place where his knees shouldn't be seen. You could see skin. Hubby" sawdust gets in through these holes and into my boots". So patching I did.
That brings up to Friday.So here I am . I have no advise for you really, except when a cold comes a knocking " Don't open the door.
This weeks question. Did I really work at a topless bar?
Answer is. It was hard time for me , I was starving! It was during my first marriage, and we were poor. My husband ate on base and my friend and I got to eat rotten fruit he brought home to us. It was so bad , that B. and I would tear the house apart looking for change, we lived with a bunch of Marines, so there was always plenty to drink , and we cold usually scrape up enough to go get two small fries at BK. So off we would go , order two small fries and the lady behind the counter always gave us two large fries. She knew what was up. And between B and I we would get about 30 packages of ketchup.
Then we would stop at Jacks, and tell them we didn't get fries in our drive through order, we would get fries, and about 30 more packages of ketchup. We would use the ketchup for soup later in the week.
Sometimes we would take the neighbors paper for the crossword puzzle, and read Dear Abby, go through the want ads. There it was "needed topless waitress." I said I could get the job , B. said no I couldn't I was too young. I was too young. I dressed up , put on some makeup, and away we went. I told them that I had just turned 21 and was ready to go to work. We needed to eat. B got the job of cleaning up and well my job, lets just say involved pasties and tray.
B and I earned enough money in two weeks through payday and tips. That we caught a bus home. We both gained 15lbs from moms good cooking. Although we had both lost weigh about 25lbs,before coming home.
First hubby sent money for us to come home on , we flew on a military plane . First time flying and bolts were popping out and the seats were shaking so bad that I never got over the thought I was going to die.
Any way I never went back to that job, I started my own baking pies and cakes and selling them for $5.00 a piece to the marines that we knew, they told their buddies and so on., that was a good business for me. B. and I did at least 3 pies a day, so we were in the food .I can't say I never went hungry again because I did . Till I married my Marty. He has always taken care of me.
So now Lisa you know the rest of the story and why I don't like flying. Smiley face.
Till my next talking , Peace and Happiness.

Chatting Over Coffee Friday
Well, today is Friday is I have decided that my Fridays was " Chatting over coffee Friday" . I will give unwanted advice, and answer your questions to me. If you want just email me a question you want me to answer, about me, life, anything and I will try my best to answer as truthfully as I can.
On Friday's I usually stay in my Jammie's as long as I can. I mean if you want honesty , whats more honest then that . I can't hide in Jammie's. Coffee refuels my brain so I should be at the top of my game.
So OK advise first; I know this to be a fact, for I have done this myself. Never ever, ever have a mirror any where near your bed, so that it is the first thing you look into in the Morin. I have one at the foot of my bed on the closet door. Now that my hubby is back to work he leaves the hall light on and now just enough light comes into the bedroom that it shines on the mirror. So this Morin I sit up and turn my head towards the foot of the bed where my little dog was sitting and all I saw us ME!!! Yikes,now that my friends was scary. I closed my eyes and laid back down for an hour or so till my mom got up and turned the hall light off. I love darkness, it is my friend.
Now the question to me.
If I could be anywhere in the world right now, where would I be?
I have thought of this and I have to say I would be right where I am now. I love my house and Montana is a great place to live. I can look out my window and see the Bitterroot mountains, the other window looks out onto the Sapphire mountains. So I am happy here. But I would have my daughter and son-in-law and my grand kids here with me. My friends would all live down the street form me. That's where I would be. Surrounded by love.
If you got a question for me email me or post it here. If I get no questions I will just make things up. Oh check out my blog about "25 things you didn't know about me."
Till my next talking, Peace and happiness
