JUNE 25, 2013
THIS IS GETTING EERIE- IN SUNDAYS DD I SAID I HOPED SOMEONE WOULD COME TO THE STEW WHO COULD CUT MY HAIR- AND SOMEONE DID-- NEVER MET HER BEFORE. SHE JUST HEARD ABOUT US ND ARRIVED... YESTERDAY I MENTIONED TO GWEN THAT I WAS NOT THRILLED WITH THOSE FLAT "BOAT" SHOES AND SHOULD GO GET SOME SNEAKERS

 HANG ON-- THIS IS GOING TO GET INTERESTING-- I THINK....

 LAST NIGHT GWEN ( BLUE GWEN) CAME DOWN FROM UPSTAIRS WITH A BRAND NEW-- IN THE BOX -- SNEAKERS THAT FIT ME. PERFECTLY

I GUARENTEE I DID NOT BUY THESE- BECAUSE FOR YEARS I HAVE BOUGHT ONLY NEW BALANCE AT THE OUTLET STORE IN LAWRENCE (UNDER THE CLOCK TOWER IF YOU NEED THAT INFO) I BUY 4 OR 5 PAIRS AT A TIME- AND HAVE NEVER... IN 20 YERS BOUGHT ANY OTHER SNEAKERS.. THESE WERE NOT NEW BALANCE SNEAKERS.

 SO I DIDN'T BUY THEM AND FORGET..

AND THIS IS NOT THE FIRST "EPISODE"

 I WISHED I COULD GET UP A BETTER FENCE AROUND THE CHICKENS AND 15 PEOPLE FROM J&J SHOW UP AND WORK LIKE CRAZY PEOPLOE FOR 5 HOURS-- BEAUTIFUL JOB !!

IF I HAD A BETTER MEMORY I WOULD REMEMBER DOZENS MORE..

****

DO YOU KNOW OF ANOTHER CHARITY THAT HAS AS THIER 2 PRIMARY VOLUNTEERS A LICENSED PLUMBER AND LICENSED ELECTITIAN?- ADD TO THAT AN AMAZING VOLUNTEER COLLECTION OF TALENTS.

FOR THIS CRAZY BOOK, I STARTED MAKING A LIST..IT GOES FROM PASTRY CHEF TO TUGBOAT CAPTAIN

THERE IS A MORE VARRIED VOLUNTEER COLLECTION ????

***

AS FOR OUR "PAID STAFF" TAKE THERESA-- THERE IS NOT A MORE PLEASENT PERSON AROUND-- I CAN GET A SKATHING EMAIL FROM SOME IRATE PERSON, AND WRITE ON IT "TELL THIS SOB TO GO TO H#LL" AND SHE WRITES THE MOST PLEASENT TIDY LETTER WISHING HIM WELL ... ALL SPELL CHECKED AND ALL.

MEGAN MARIA TRACY -- ALL DO A FANTASTIC JOB-- HOW DID WE INHERIT THEM???

( COUPLE PROBLEMS WITHTHE TEENAGERS WHO DO THE NIGHT FEEDING-WE ARE WORKING ON THAT )

WELL,... I ... FOR ONE, AM BEFUDDLED.

 I ALSO SAY IF YOU HAVE A CHOICE BETWEEN SMART AND LUCKY... TAKE LUCKY

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

I HOPE I HAVE HAD THE PROBLEM OF THE DAY

I LIKE TO GET THAT OUT OF THE WAY EARLY....

I THREW MY CLOTHES INTHE WASHER-- IT IS ONE OF THOSE FRONT LOADERS WHERE THE DOOR LOCKS.... I START TO GET IN THE SHOWER AND THE "I HAVE FALLEN AND I CAN'T GET UP" MACHINE IS SAYING "WE ARE CALLING FOR EMERGENCY HELP".

I REALIZED THE BUTTON THING MUST BE TANGLED IN MY SHIRT THAT IS IN THE WASHER-- DOOR LOCKED SHUT-- I NEED TO GO VERY QUICKLY GO AND PUSH THE OTHER BUTTON AND TELL THEM IT IS NOT AN EMERGENCY .. IF I FAIL TO DO THAT, THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WILL BE UP THE DRIVEWAY SIRENS BLARING.

THAT BUTTON IS OVER BY THE COFFEE MAKER -- I DON'T HAVE ON A STITCH.

NOW..... WHICH WAY IS THE EXPLORE CAMERA FACING..???

******

 PEOPLE JUST DON'T REALIZE THE PROBLEMS I FACE ON A DAILY BASIS..
****************

MERLOW AND PI ARE ON SPEAKING TERMS-- MAKING THE NEXT MONTH ALOT EASIER- MERLOW IS LOOKING SLIGHTLY MORE CONCERNED-- I STILL DON'T THINK "TODAY" -- IF I HAD TO BET I WOULD GUESS THURS/FRIDAY

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

WE ARE DOING WELL WITH ALL THE "MISTERS" WHICH THE CAMERA PEOPLE HAVE DONATED-- THE PLACE IS LIKE A RAIN FOREST- BUT T LEAST IT IS A COOLER RAIN FOREST... THOSE 24 "BOX FANS DO A GREAT JOB WITH A MISTER.

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

SPEAKING OF FANS-- AND HOW I MENTIONED INTHE PAST FEW DAYS... NOT MANY BUGS-

I HAVE ONE FAN SET UP TO BLOW OUT OF THE DEAGLE HOUSE INTO A NET-- AND IT IS BEGINNING TO CATCH MOSQUITOS ABOUT 1/4 A CUP YESTERDAY-- THAT IF FAR MORE THAN THAT $500 MOSQUITO MAGNET EVER THOUGHT OF CATCHING.
*************************

BLUE GWEN AND THERESA PERFOPRMED THE DUTIES OF THE SHIPPING DEPARTMENT LAST NIGHT.. WE NEED TO HAVE TH EPUZZLE ORDER ARRIVE SOON... I THINK TH E WORD IS "BACKORDERED??"

AN OLIVER REPORT !!!

Thanks so much for you advice yesterday morning. We took your advice on how to get our three dogs settled down and worked yesterday to "achieve boredom". Its really gone well. Right now Isabelle our 11 lb mini poodle is sitting on my left, Chloe our 18 lb mini labradoodle is asleep across from me and Oliver is comfortably spread out on the floor sound asleep. I took a walk with all three dogs in the woods, and they all had a great time exploring and sniffing. Oliver met several people today and was quick to warm to everyone. Most importantly,Peter. Oliver and I walked half way down our road and Peter did really well. He was tuckered out but pleased. It's the first time he has walked on this road in several years! Oliver is a terrific dog with a very good disposition--he is a credit to the way you raise and socialize your pups .
I will send you updates.....thanks so much

ONE OF THE CAMERA PEOPLE SUGGESTED WE GET ONT OF THOSE CELL PHOES YOU PAY FOR BY THE MONTH AND GIVE THAT NUMBER TO THE CAMERA PEOPLE FOR THEM TO USE IF THEY SEE AN EMERGENCY DEVELOPING. SOUNDS PERFECT -- EXCEPT THERE ARE SOME OF THESE PEOPLE TO WHOM A FEW FLYS ARE AN EMERGENCY
HOWEVER -- THEY HAVE PROVIDED THE FUNDS TO BE ABLE TO AFFORD IT --- IN THE FUN FUND JAR-- SO I WILL GO AHEAD .. PAUL'S IMMEDIATE COMMENT WAS "THEY WILL ALL CALL JUST TO SPEAK TO EARLENE"
THEY WILL HAVE TO BE EDUCATED-- BECAUSE I AM VERY CAPABLE OF PUTTINIG IN OUR AMBULANCE.
THAT FUN FUND JAR-- THAT IS CONNECTED TO THE 5PM MAILOPENING - WE TRY AND GET IN THE HOUSE WITH LETTER OPENER IN HAND BY 5PM
DOESN'T ALWAYS WORK AT 5-- BUT EVENTUALLY WE HAVE TO OPEN THEM SO IF WE ARE LATE/// WE WILL GET THERE
MUST RUN--
STAY TUNED RE PREGOS
