i ate the brazil nuts last night and i can not say i slept better... i think there are too many variables to be able to claim the nuts as a sleep aid... but i will keep trying and report..
i think i ate too much roast beef just before going to bed. it was gooooood.
the interesting part ( hopefully) was shopping in costco for the roast... i did not realize 78% of the rest of th e world eats roast beef on christmas-( for me-- just tuesday was a big enough excuse)..i listened to so many people pick up one roast and decide it was too flecked with fat - they wanted no "marbleing" ... which--if my father was right ,-- made it more flavorful and more tender----- i went for the marbled- and it was gooood.
father was the one to say buy the pup who can stick his legs straight back- which seems to have some relationship to dysplasia-- born in 1900 the word dysplasia had not even been invented by then.

KIARA IS BECOMING MORE DOG LIKE--- BETTER EYE CONTACT TODAY WITHOUT THE EXCITABILITY...
ALSO----- BRIANA ( FEMALE IN THE NETHERLANDS) HAS BEEN PRONOUNCED "WITH CHILD" -
DON'T HOLD YOUR BREATH... BUT I WILL TAKE MARIAH FOR AN ULTRASOUND ON FRIDAY.
*************
THE 4" DEEP OF CARBOHYDRATES JUST INSIDE THE CHICKEN FENCE NEEDS ATTENTION...
BREAD SOG... AND FLOATING NOODLES AND PIZZA--- THEY WILL EAT IT ALL, BUT THIS PITCHing RETIRED FOOD OVER THE GATE IS A PROCESS THAT NEEDS REVISION.-- ESPECIALLY IN THE RAIN...

JANINE WENT AND GOT THE NEW MINI DONKEY-- APPARENTLY A SMALL VERSION OF BUDDY-
NOW -----JANINE HAS HAD MORE EXPERIENCE THAN MOST AT LOADING DONKEYS ONTO TRAILERS-- AND THIS DONK- WHO IS SMALLER THAN THE DOGS LIKE OLIVER- LESS THAN 180 POUNDS...- KEPT JANINE PUSHING AND SHOVING IN THE POURING RAIN FOR OVER 1/2 HOUR BEFORE A SECOND PERSON OFFERED TO HELP... JANINE DOES NOT QUIT- APPARENTLY THE DONKEY DOES NOT EITHER... JANINE WAS TOLD THAT "SHE DOES NOT LEAD WELL" SO THERE IS WORK FOR THE VOLUNTEERS TO DO..
APPARENTLY BUDDY WAS A HUGE SUCCESS AT THE JESUS JOB--- DEBATE NOW IS , IS HE CAPAB;LE OF THE NEXT JOB-- THE PALM SUNDAY PROCESSION IN AMESBURY--- EVERYBODY WAVING PALMS--- THAT LOOKS LIKE WHIPS TO A DONKEY.
MARY HAD IT DOWN PAT AND KNEW THE ENTIRE ROUTINE...
TO HAVE BUDDY STOP COLD IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PROCESSION WOULD BE A CHALANGE
ANNIE IS HIS COACH-- SO SHE IS WORKING ON IT.;
**-**
OUR NEIGHBORS HAVE OFFERED THEIR "PET" CAR TO SDP-- IT IS FUNNY- THEY HAVE HAD IT SO LONG IT IS ALMOST AN EMOTIONAL ATTACHMENT. I SAID WE WOULD GIVE IT A GOOD HOME--- PROBABLY PAM....
TALKING WITH INGRED ( ONE OF THE CAR OWNERS) SHE ASKED IF WE WOULD N'T MIND IF THEY CAME UP WITH THIER KIDS TO VISIT....HER COMMENT "YOU PROBABLY DON'T WANT NEIGHBORS TROOPING THRU"
I HAD TROUBLE CONVINCING HER--- THAT IS HOW IT IS.... JUST COME UP -THE BIGGEST RULE IS ---
SHUT ANY GATE OR DOOR THAT YOU OPEN.
*****
ON TO JANINE'S FOR COCKTAIL HOUR-- DUE TO THE LACK OF ALCOHOL ON THIS PROPERTY-- SHE OFFERED TO HAVE THE PARTY AT HER HOUSE.
