NEXT BIG ISSUE--- THE BOOK IS "OUT THERE" FOR PURCHASE--- BOTH PAPER AND ELECTRONIC VERSIONS.. I HOPE I GET THIS RIGHT...
Now Available on KINDLE http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00FBCR18Q AND IN PAPER ON AMAZON-- AND IF YOU WANT AN AUTOGRPHED COPY YOU CAN SEND A .$20.00 CHECK TO SDP 37 BOXFORD RD. IPSWICH MA. 01938 AND THERESA WILL GET THAT SENT OFF... OR YOU CAN ORDER OFF OUR WEB AND DO PAYPAL--
I HAVE TO CONFESS - THE WEB ONLINE VERSION IS DETERMINED TO CHARGE A PENNY SALES TAX... AND $5 SHIPPING AND HANDLING REGARDLESS OF WHAT YOU ORDER-- SO WE HAVE ADJUSTED THE PRICES SO IT COMES OUT ABOUT RIGHT
AT SOME POINT IN THE FUTURE WE MAY FIGURE OUT HOW TO FIX THAT-- BUT WE HAVE SPENT TOO MUCH TIME NOW -- IF YOU ORDER ONE MONKEY FIST OR 10 BOOKS, IT LOOKS LIKE THE SHIPPING IS $5, SO BE IT FOR NOW.
JANINE HAS APPARENTLY ORDRED A FEW CASES OF BOOKS FOR BOTH OF US TO AUTOGRAPH...

SHELIA HAS PUT TOGETHRT A VOLUNTEERS PARTY WEDNESDAY AT CALITRI'S ?7PM ISH...
********
THE UPCOMING OCTOBERFEST/RETREAT... WHATEVER...
YOU WILL ALL BE GLAD TO KNOW I HAVE RESEARVED THE PORTAPOTTIES...
THAT IS CRITICAL
AND I HAVE RESERVED A LOBSTER/CLAMBAKE FOR SATURDAY AFTERNOON ---- ALL YOU ----VOLUNTEERS- AND VISITORS WHO WILL BE HERE SHOULD GET YOUR ORDER IN TO EITHER THERESA- OR TINA... LOBSTER OF CHICKEN...
NOW ABOUT BEING IN THE TOPSFIELD FAIR PARADE... I AM TOLD THERE ARE 38 OF TEH CAMERA PEOPLE WHO WANT TO DO THAT...- I DON'T SEE HOW WE CAN- NO WAY CAN WE TRANSPORT 38 PEOPLE TO THE START AREA-- WHEN THE FAIR IS ON LIFE IN TOPSFIELD GRINDS TO A HALT-- THERE IS NO PARKING ANYWHERE - EXCEPT $10 PER CAR ON EVERY'S FRONT LAWN... I HAD VISIONS OF THE HORSE TRAILER FOR THE BED AND THE COA VAN FOR WALKERS AND DOGS, BUT WE ARE WAY BEYOND THAT--- AND I THINK EVERYONE WOULD ENJOY STAYING ON THE FARM MORE THAN BATTLING THE CROWS AT THE FAIR-- MAYBE WE SHOULD GET SOMEONE TO TRY AND MAKE FRIED DOUGH HERE AND SKIP THE FAIR ENITRELY..
THAT FAIR -- THE OLDEST IN THE COUNTRY ---HAS DETERIORATED TO FRIED DOUGH BEING THE BIGGEST PART OF IT ANYWAY
I WONDER IF WE COULD MAKE FRIED DOUGH HERE...... ???? EARLENE???????
IT COULD BE FUN TRYING....NOW THAT WE HAVE ENOUGH POWER IN THE TTENT.

NOW AS FOR SOME DOGGIE DETAILS....
BENTLEY HAS THIS PROCESS WITH CHAOS DOWN TO SPLIT SECONDS....
NOT SO WITH WALTER-- WE--- MOSTLY MEGAN--- HAD TO GIVE HIM A HAND...... LITERALLY...
SO IF OPAL IS PREGNANT HER LITTER WILL BE KNOWN AS THE PIPETTES.
AND FOR THE EDUCATIONAL PART-- EVEN AFTER SEVERAL BARS OF SOAP LATER BENTLEY WAS STILL NOT PLEASED TO DISCOVER THE SCENT OF TROUBLE ON BOTH MEGAN AND ME.

I AM NOT INVOLVED WITH FACEBOOK AT ALL-- AND I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHO DOES WHAT AND WHY-- BUT THIS EMAIL SEEMS PRETTY STRAIGHT FORWARD...
HI, THANKS FOR THE CLARIFICATION REGARDING THE "SDP" AND "SDP-EPW" PAGES. IT WOULD BE GREAT IF FOLKS COULD USE THE "SDP-EPW" PAGE FOR SOCIAL CHATTER RELATING TO PERSONAL STUFF, AND SAVE THE “SDP” PAGE FOR SDP AND SDP DOGGIE-RELATED MATTERS. AS SOMEONE SPECULATED AWHILE BACK, CARLENE MIGHT FEEL MORE INCLINED TO DROP IN AND COMMENT ON THE “SDP” PAGE WHEN THE CONVERSATIONS RELATE TO SDP AND SDP DOGGIE STUFF. THANKS, AGAIN, FOR TAKING THE TIME TO PROVIDE THIS CLARIFICATION. ; )

BETSY SPENT THE NIGHT HERE WITH SCARLOTT -- WE WERE SHORT OVERNIGHT SITTERS AND IT WAS GOOD TO HAVE SCARLOTT DECIDE SHE BELONGS HERE
I WAS INTERESTED TO WATCH BETSY LEAVE-- USUALLY SCARLOTT IS RIGHT AT THE DOOR WHEN SHE LEAVFES AND IS OBVIOUSLY SAYIG I NEED TO GO WITH YOU... TODAY BETSY USED HER NORMAL TERMINOLGY AND SAID "MIND THE HOUSE" AND SCARLOTT SAT DOWN IMMEDIATELY ---PERFECTLY COMFORTBLE AT KNOWING SHE WAS TO STAY HERE.
I CAN COMPARE THAT REACTION TO CHAOS WHEN PAUL OR EARLENE TELL HER TO STAY AS OPPOSED TO "GET INTHE CAR" OR OPAL WHEN SHELIA LEAVES HER AT THE DOOR-- THE WAGGING TAIL DROPS STRAIGHT DOWN.
SCARLOTT KNEW WHAT MIND THE HOUSE. MEANT.
