SHE MENTIONED SHE AND KITTY WOULD BE SENDING OUT A WHAT DID YOU LIKE - AND DISLIKE ABOUT THIS RETREAT--WHAT SUGGESWTIONS ETC.. SHOULD BE INTERESTING.. PEOPLE ARE TALKING AOBU THE SECOND ANNUAL-- I DID SUGGEST A WEEK OR TWO EARLIER TO AVOID THE FAIR THEN SH#TTING SUNDAY CAME INTO PLAY.. SO ?? A MONTH EARLIER??
ONE OF THE THINGS MOST ENJOYABLE WAS STRANGERS MEETING STRANGERS THAT THEY KNEW ONLINE...
HOW THT WILL PLAY OUT NEXT YEAR I DON'T KNOW UNLESS WE HAVE ALOT MORE ADDED TTO THE COLLECTION OF PEOPLE..
EVEN THO JANINE THOUGHT THE SPIRIT BIT WAS EIRIE, I THOUGHT IT SUCCESSFUL
MARK'S PHOTO'S OF THE MARCH OF THE SPIRITS WAS GOOD FUN TO LOOK AT.

AM I GLAD TO SEE JACKIE BACK HERE-- SHE AND HER HUSBAND ARE GUESTS OF SHELIA--- I WAS TERRIFIED SHE WOULD GET INVOLVED WITHSHELIA AND HER 5 HANDICAPPED DOGS BECAUSE SHE HAS ME SPOILED PUPPY WATCHINGI HERE.
JAC KIE'S HUSBAND IS HERE --- HAMMER IN HAND... TO TRY AND FINISH UP THE " LITTLE HOUSES" OFF THE BACK OF THE BARN...

COUPLE LARGE PROBLEMS OF THE DAY... IVY GOT INVOLVED WITH-- PROBABLY- BUNCH OF GROUND WASPS--PAUL AND I WENT OUT LAST NIGHT TO TRY ND FIND THEM BUT I THINK IT WAS TOO LATE-- I WILL TRY AGAIN AT NOON-- THEY ARE A DISASTER AS THEY SWARM AND BITE IF UNHAPPY-----
IN MY SPARE TIME I WOULD LOVE TO GET A GRANT TO STUDY THE IQ OF VRIOUS INSECTS-- LIKE FLYS... AND WASPS..
I CAN REMEMBER MY EXASPERATED MOTHER SAYING "ALL I HAVE TO DO IS PICK UP A FLY SWATTER AND THEY DISAPPEAR"
AND 76 YEARS LATER ... I DON'T THINK SHE WS WRONG...
AND I HAVE NOT HEARD OF ANYONE STUDYING THE PHENOMENONEN- IF JUST WHAT DOES A FLY THINK ABOUT.
ACTUALLY-- GWEN( DAUGHTER GWEN) HAS A JUDGE FRIEND WHO'S HUSBAND IS DEAN OF BUGS SOMEWHERE... I THINK SHE READS THIS- COULD YOU ASK BOB TO GIVE US A BUG IQ REPORT??
HE IS VERY GOOD AT THIS KIND OF REQUEST...
