YESTERDAY WAS A GREAT EXAMPLE OF
FOR WANT OF A NAIL THE SHOE WAS
LOST--
(THEN THE HORSE-- THEN THE GENERAL-- THEN THE
BATTLE,KINGDOM AND A FEW OTHER THINGS I AM SURE)
EVERYBODY WORKED VERY HARD HERE YESTERDAY-- BUT IT
GOT OUT OF SEQUENCE- AND I ENDED UP SITTING AT THE COMPUTER WITH ALL THE CAMERA
PEOPLE TELLING ME I LOOKED TIRED AND IN NEED OF A
VACATION...
AFTER THINKING ABOUT IT--- WELL----- AFTER GETTING
MAD, ANNOYED AND THEN PENSIVE......
THE BASIC PROBLEM WAS.... THE
HAWK..NOT SOMETHING WHICH COULD BE IGNORED...
THESE SMALL PUPS ARE NOT ANY BIGGER THAN THE CHICKEN HE-- OR SHE -- KILLED
YESTERDAY
WORKING BACKWARDS FROM ME SITTING AT THE DESK
LOOKING EXHAUSTED... I WAS DOING THE PAPERWORK I NEEDED TO THINK ABOUT QUICKLY
BECAUSE TOWER OF HOPE HAS ASKED US TO SUBMIT RECIPIENTS
AGAIN...
I NEEDED SOME PAPERWORK FROM THERESA- WHICH SHE
HAD NOT COMPLETED BECAUSE THE HUNGRY PUPPIES NEEDED IMMEDIATE ATTENTION-- SO
SHE-- QUITE RIGHTLY -- FED THEM--
WHICH IS PAULA'S JOB-- EXCEPT SHE WAS DIDDLING
WITHTHE TEA TENT COVER--
WHICH WAS RON'S-- OR MY JOB-
-SO WHEN MEGAN BROUGHT DOWN THE 3 PUPS TO THE V PEN
-- PAULA GOT CONNED INTO WATCHING OUT FOR THE HAWK-
WHICH SHOULD HAVE BEEN ANYBODY'S JOB EXCEPT HERS-
AND PUT HER CLEAN/ORGANIZE/FEED BEHIND SCHEDULE...
AND I BEGAN TO SLIDE SIDEWAYS INTO
MANIC/PANIC.
*****
AND THEN TTHERE WAS THE BACK HOE-- I WAS
LOOKING FORWARD TO HAVING IT ON-- I AM NOT SURE WHY-- RON HAS DONE A WONDERFUL
JOB OF CLEANING US UP FOR FILM CREWS ON TUESDAY-- PUTTING MONSTER BOULDERS TO
KEEP PEOPLE ON THE DRIVEWAY.. AND CONVINCING THE DUMPSTER GUY TO TAKE THE 368
SOFA'S THAT HAVE ACCUMULATED NEXT TO THE DUMPSTER..--
BUT MY 6TH SENSE KNOWS THAT WHEN SPRING
THAW COMES-- THERE WILL BE THINGS THAT NEED TO BE IN THE BOTTOM OF SOME HOLE FOR
NATURE TO FEAST ON.. AND IN THIS CASE-- THERE WERE A COUPLE CASES OF MEAT THAT
DID NOT GET PUT IN THE FREEZERS- SO THE ONLY THING TO DO WITHTHEM IS TO PUT THE
MEAT INTHE BOTTOM OF A HOLE AND LET THE WORMS HAVE AT IT... OR FREEZE IT UNTIL
YOU COULD DIG-- OTHERWISE YOU WOULD HAVE A VERY SMELLY MESS. - SO THERE ARE A
COUPLE BOXES OF SHREADED MEAT THAT ARE FROZEN AND LABELED BAD..... AWAITING THE TRACTOR'S
CONVERSION TO A BACK HOE..
MEANWHILE THE NEXT WEEK'S BEEF HAS
ARRIVED AND IS READY FOR THE CHIPPER WHICH HAS MOVED FROM GARAGE-- TO MY
SHOWERSTALL --TO THE OVERFLOW ROOM.
THIS IS LIKE SOME BALLET- HARDLY SWAN
LAKE
MAYBE SWAN PUDDLE.
SPEAKING OF WHICH BUD SAID HE WOULD TRY
AND GET THE FOUNTAINS IN THE POND BY SUNDAY NIGHT-- AGAIN IN PREP FOR FILMING.--
THEY DID A GREAT JOB LAST YEAR AT KEEPING THE POND CLEAN AND
LOVELY.
AND SUNDAY WILL BE SH#TTING SUNDAY-
APPARENTLY SOMEONE HAS SENT US A SUPPLY OF OMAHA STEAK AND HAMBERGERS DUE TO
ARRIVE SATURDAY FOR CAMERA MARK TO GRILL- HE DOES A HISTORIC JOB ON THE GRILL
ALSO
SDP-- LIKE THE ARMY--- MOVES ON IT'S
BELLY-- SO WITH SOME POTLUCK CONTRIBUTIONS WE SHOU LD SURVIVE...
ACTUALLY A PRACTICE FOR TH E OCTOBERFEST
WHEN HEAVEN KNOWS HOW MANY PEOPLE WILL BE ARRIVING (OCT 6TH)
SOMEBODY SHOHLD GET HOLD OF OMAHA STEAKS
AND SEE IF THEY WILL DONATE..... WE SHOULD ALSO HAVE A CLAMBAKE ( THIS IS
IPSWICH YOU REALIZE)- AND ANOTHER MEAL OF BUSHELLS OF MARINI'S CORN --- WE
SHOULD LIVE THRU THAT.
SO TODAY SCHEDULE--
I DUNNO
PRISCILLA IS HERE AND EVRYTHING IS CLEAN
AND TIDY SO WE ARE STARTING WELL.. SHE BROUGHT A NEW MOP... I CAN NOT COUNT
THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE BOUGHT A NEW MOP LATELY..I KNOW IT IS AT LEAST 4
PEOPLE THIS PAST WEEK.
THEY AR TELLING ME
SOMETHING-
LIKE SPRING IS HERE-- TIME TO GET THE
PUPS OUTSIDE
EXCEPT FOR THE ##$^&*(*&
HAWK.
MAYBE---- IF ALL YOU FOLK WOULD FIND SOME
REALLY LIGHT
RIBBON -- OF ANY KIND OR COLOR - IN
ABOUT 6' STRANDS I COULD TRY TYING THEM TO THE OVERHEAD ROPES AND LET THEM BLOW
IN THE BREEZES
IT WOULD LOOK MUCH BETTER THAN THE
PLASTIC BAGS, OLD CD'S AND PIE PLATES THAT I HAVE THERE NOW-- AND AS THEY BLOW
IT MIGHT COVER MORE OF THE AREA.
LIKE THE PINK ENVELOPE CAMPAIGN-- THIS
CALL IS FOR RIBBONS
