OCT 11, 2013
PUPPY TRAVELERS ----- TIME TO PUT UP THE GATES---  THE SHORT ONES FOR A START. SO WE DO NOT SCRATCH THE MILK DEPT..... BUT THESE PUPS ARE BELLY UP ( OFF THE FLOOR) AND TRAVELING  ESPECIALLY BLUE..
*****
ANNE TOOK ME OUT OF HERE YESTERDAY  FOR LUNCH- SOFA  BUYING AND  ICECREAM SUNDAES-- QUITE AN EXCURSION

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...

CAMERA IS OFF-- AND HAS BEEN FOR A WHILE...

 AND FIND MY ONE PIECE SNOWSUIT TO GO WASP HUNTING...
