YOU KNOW WHAT KIND OF DAY IT WILL BE.......WNHEN
YOU SET THE BOTTLE OF EXCEDRINE ON YOUR DESK BEFORE COFFEE.
LOTTS OF CUT AND PASTE REPORTS TODAY SO I WILL GET RIGHT TO
THE PLANS OF THE DAY
*****
YESTERDAYS DELIVERIES USPS, UPS, FEDEX, AND A FREIGHT COMPANY
( THE POLES)..
.MOST EXCITING.. BALL POINT PENS--- GOOD ONES-- RUBBER
HANDLES--A WHOLE BOX FILLED- LABELED FIRST MISSOURI BANK----- OR PROBABLY MIS
LABELED SOMEHOW-- 250 REALLY GOOD PENS FOR $19.50 IF YOU DON'T MIND WHAT THEY
SAY-
I HAVE A HISTORY OF PENS IN
BULK-- IT USED TO BE 1000 PENS FOR 30.00 ON EBAY - .
WITH THOSE PENS I BECAME THE JOHNNY APPLESEED OF BALL
POINT PENS.,
LET IT BE KNOWN YOU CAN TALK YOUR WAY INTO ANY OFFICE
APPOINTMENT BY GIVING THE RECEPTIONIST A SHOEBOX OF PENS.-- ESPECIALLY GEORGE'S
VET OFFICE... I HAVE WATCHED PEOPLE IN HIS OFFICE LOOK FOR A PEN- AND CLCULATED
WHAT THAT WAS COSTING HIM ON A YEARLY BASIS. 2.7 MINUTES PER DAY IS A
CONSERVATIVE ESTIMATE , EQUALS 11.25 HOURS
EVEN AT THE MINIMUM WAGE- THAT IS OVER $100 PER -- AND HE MUST
HAVE 30 EMPLOYEES... IT AIN'T PEANUTS-
-NOW IF YOU ADD THE DISTRCTION FActor AS YOU HAVE TO IN MY
CASE
--"AH... LOOK AT THE FRESH POT OF COFFEE.. NOW,....WHY DID I
COME IN HERE???. OH YES I WAS LOOKING FOR A PEN" THE NUMBER IS
STAGGERING.
SO MUCH FOR THE PENS-- TRY EBAY SEARCH PENS
*************
IT NEVER CEASES TO AMAZE ME HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE ENJOYING THE
SIMPLE THINGS OF LIFE- ....I.E. US... OPENING MAIL....
WHO WOULD THINK THAT THE OPENING OF THE MAIL AT 5PM WOULD
DRAW TWICE THE CROWD THAN THE AVG WATCHING.
THINK IT HAS TO DO WITH THIS GLASS OF WINE BUNCH OF CP"S..
IT MUST DEFINE COCKTAIL HOUR...
WE OPENED ALL THE COLORED ENVELOPES -- MANY WITH A SHORT NOTE
AND A DOLLAR OR TWO WHICH GOES IN THE FUN POT- I THINK PEOPLE BOUGHT A PACK OF PASTEL ENVELOPES TO SEND/ PARTICIPATE IN THE PINK
ENVELOPE CAMPAIGN TO THE SUPERINTENDENT AND PRINCIPAL OF JOC's SCHOOL-- AND THEY
HAVE A FEW LEFT OVER...SO IT GOES ON... IT PAID FOR THE TEEPEE AND THE NEXT
THING WILL BE A HUGE POWERFUL VACUUM CLEANER FOR THE BARN KENNEL-- SHELIA IS
SCOUTING A BUILTIN--.. THOSE DOLLARS MOUNT UP
*****
I DON'T THINK IT HAS CUT INTO THE CHICKEN BRICKS-- IT CAN'T--
THAT CHICKEN FUND IS NOT A FUN PROJECT IT PAYS THE REAL BILLS.. LIKE
YESTERDAY'S UTILITY BILLS ELECT $1000,WATER $350, AND TRASH $385-- PLUS THE
DOG FOOD.. AND WE HAVE 4 SPAY AND NEUTERS BOOKED FOR NEXT WEEK. THAT CHICKEN
BRICK IS EXTREMELY CRITICAL TO MOVING FORWARD WITH THE NEXT
LITTER...
*********
AND THEN THE FRIEGHT TRUCK WITHTHE TIPI POLES 27 FEET LONG--
PERFECTY STRAIGHT-- FROM A SPECIAL TREE FARM IN MICHIGAN? WHICH GROWS TALL STRAIGHT TREES.
THAT DEFINES TODAY'S PROJECT.. GET THE POLES UP.... CORRECTLY
THIS TIME
AND THE BIBLE OF TIPI'S BY GLADYS LAUBIN GIVES EXACT
MEASUREMENTS OF THE PLACEMENT OF THOSE POLES-- TO WITH IN INCHES...
FOR ME TO DO ANY CONSTRUCTION WITHIN INCHES IS A CHALLANGE-- I
AM MORE THE "WITHIN A FOOT OR TWO" TYPE.

ENJOY THE CUT AND PASTES...

page...

Hi Carlene & All,
I hope you are feeling well and getting good, restful
sleep.
Is there a chew toy that puppies like more than
shoes?!? We have always kicked off our shoes when we enter the house. My
children's families do the same so there are always shoes of all sizes, colors
and materials by the entry door. Garden clogs and sneakers seem to be Ebony's
favorites. Other than her shoe fetish she is a dear, wonderful dog and a
faithful companion for Al. I'm so comfortable when Al is out walking with Ebony.
She always brings him home safely. They only walk the driveway but there are
several walks back and forth.
Gratefully,
Pat
( I SUGGESTED A PIECE OF FISH NET HUNG HIGH)

Things are fine out here in Western MA. Tessa is doing
great. You mentioned it was a slow DD not much to report and as I've been going
to mention this to you for about a month now (you jarred my memory when you
mentioned puppies and hawks.)
I take Tess down to a local athletic field for exercise,
on hot days She likes to walk in a small creek that runs along side the field.
One morning as We were going over to the creek Her head came up alert, a furrow
between the ears as she stared off. I looked toward what caught her eye and
there two children were running flying kites about 20 ft over their heads. Tess
looked at me ...to the children, back to me then over to their mother and back
at the children! She then began tugging at the leash toward the children. I told
her no she looked again at me then the children....I said they're okay Tess it
won't get them it's not a bird! So she went and enjoyed the creek then before we
left I took her over to smell the kites and show her they weren't big birds. I
told the children and their mother about her wanting to chase the birds over
their heads away, they hugged her and told her thanks Tess!
Tess at times will watch the turkey vultures gliding on
the air currents over head but I didn't think too much of it before. She's very
in tune with everything surrounding Us. Which is so amazing these Dog's process
so much information, traffic, people, animals, shopping carts, cars, trucks and
so too it seems big birds trying to scoop up children! Just thought You might
use a chuckle and incase you hadn't noticed before they're trained to watch out
for hawks too! They are true multi tasker's as if just taking care of us was not
enough! Thanks again for putting us together! Sincerely
Al&Tess
