APRIL 8

FIRSTLY----- ALL THESE PEOPLE PLANNING TO COME HERE IN OCTOBER.. DON'T MAKE A RESERVATION YET UNTIL I GET A LINE ON POSSIBLE ACITIVITIES-- IT MIGHT MAKE SENSE TO COME IN ON FRIDAY NIGHT.-- SO GIVE ME A DAY OR SO TO THINK.

BECKY AND I HAVE HAD A BRAINSTORM...ALL THAT CRAP IN THE WOOD SHED-- I KNEW I SAVEDD IT FOR SOMETHING.

 ******************

ALSO SOMEONE SUGGESTED INSTEAD OF GOING TO HOTEL;S THAT ALL THE PEOPLE WHO ENJOY SUNDAY STEWS HERE PROVIDE A BED AND BREAKFAST DEAL FOR A PERSON OR TWO AND THE MONEY WOULD BE DONATED TO SDP. MOST EVERYON E I KNOW HAS AN EXTRA BEDROOM OR A COUCH !! NOBODY SAID THIS WAS GOING TO BE FANCY... WARM AND DRY IS ALL THAT IS REQUIRED.

 THERE WILL BE A FURTHERE DISCUSSION WITH "THE BOARD" STAY TUNED--

 ******************

MEANWHILE..

 HAWKEYE SPENT THE NIGHT ON THE COUCH-- ABSOLUTELY DISTRAUGHT THAT HIS MOMMY- HAS LEFT HIM HERE WITH ALLTHESE TINY FLEA SIZE PUPPIES.----- SOMETIMES HE WON'T EVEN LOOK AT US- BUT JUST STARES AT THE WALL-- LUCKILY WE DISCOVERED HE WON'T DRINK WATER UNLESS YOU HOLD IT UP FOR HIM-- HE IS WIERD DOG #1 -- ALWAYS HAS BEEN- HALF THE STATE OF MAIINE SEEMS TO KNOW HIM AS CAROL TAKES HIM OUT AND AROUND OFTEN-- MEGAN WAS IN LLBEAN AND HAD SOMEONE SAY "THAT'S NOT HAWKEYE"

THIS IS ALSO THE DOG THAT I HAD TO DRIVE TO MAINE THE FIRST DAY CAROL HAD HIM BECAUSE HE WAS STUCK UPSTAIRS TERRIFIED...ONCE I HELPOD HIM DOWN AND UPA AND DOWN A COUPLE TIMES HE WAS FINE... HE IS NOT WHAT YOU WOULD CALL PHYSICALLY COURAGEOUS

BUT HE IS LOVELY AND DEVOTED-- SHE IS PICKING HIM UP THIS MORNING-- HE WILL BE VERY RELIEVED.

-************

TEAL... WHAT A GEORGEOUS DOG-- AND DEVOTED TO 57-- SHE WAS HERE FOR THE STEW.. AND WE TRIED A NEW HEAD COLLAR (ggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggrrrrrrrrrrrhhhhhhhhh) ON HIM AND SHE SEEMED TO BE FINE WITH\IT-- BUT HE WAS NOT IN SCHOOL-- AT ANY RATE -- C\JOCELYN WALKED TO THE BARN WHERE SHE FELL-- AND TEA L STOOD RIGHT THERE WITH HER WHILD\E SHE CLIMBED UP USING HIS BULK TO GET BACK ON HER FEET. HE WAS TERRIFFIC.

THE NEXT DIISCUSSION WAS THE AWFUL HIGH SCHOOL LUNCH-- IMOPOSSIBLE FOR HER TO EAT - NOT ONLY BECAUSE OF THE SIZE AND SHAPE ONE LOVELY APPLE THAT WAS NOT CUT FOR HER- TO THE BILIOUS CREAMED BROCOLLI WHICH I COULD BARELY LOOK AT -- LET ALONE EAT. I HIGHLY SUGGESTED HER PARENTS SEND SOMETING NUTRIOUS WITH HER BECAUSE THAT SCHOOL LUNCH WAS TERRIBLE. HOW ABOUT ENSURE-- OR PEDIASURE-- FOR A DRINK... WHATEVER..

****************

THE SH#TTING WENT PERFECTLY MAYBE SLIGHTLY AFTER 3:00 LIKE 3:10 ---- WITH EACH NUMBER PLACED ON THE TABLE TWICE _ THAT WAS 2100 LITTLE STICKERS WHICH WE DUTIFULLY PICKED OFF AGAIN... IT IS GETTTING TO BE TRADITION-- AND WE CAN NOT LEAVE THEM ON-- IF WE DID AND DID NOT SELL OUT IT WOULD MAKE FOR A BIG MESS WITH A TIME FRAME-- I DO NOT DO HURRY WELL-- ... SO PICK AWAY... #683 WAS THE SHATUPON OF THE DAY... I HAV TO REPEAT WHAT A HUGE HELP THAT BOARD IS.

STAYING AWAY FROM THE WORD "BINGO" IT COULD BE RIGHTLY CALLED THE SHATUPON BOARD.
