DEC 29 2014
THAT CAR THAT DEB AND INGRID DONATED IS LOVELY--... NOW THAT WE OWN A TRUCK FOR CARRYING THE C-R-A-P  AROUND... MAYBE WE COULD KEEP IT IN THE EXCELLENT CONDITION IT IS NOW IN... I.E.  CLEAN--   CONDITION... NOT ANOTHER STORAGE SHED !!!

WE DO HAVE A VERY LARGE PROBLEM KEEPING EQUIPMENT WHERE WE NEED IT-- IT IS THE OLD   "KEEPING BANDAIDS IN TEH BATHROOM" PROBLEM-----THAT IS ONLY LOGICAL IF  YOU KEEP THE CARVING KNIVES AND CAN OPENERS THERE ALSO..

THERE IS A CONCEPT HERE-- WHICH IS DEAD SERIOUS---THE PROCESS OF GOING OUT IN THE CAR WITH BENTLEY . LETS SAY 20 DEGREES..   I WANT TO FIND A JACKET FOR BENTLEY-  ( A FICTITIOUS STORY-- NO WAY AM I WALKING AROUND IN TH E COLD WITH HIM -BUT I MIGHT WANT HIM TO PRESENT SOME LOFTY  IMMAGE  )--- BECAUSE HE FITS ALL THE OLD DONKEY JACKETS, I KNOW WE HAVE 2 SETS OF 8 OF THOSE  ( 16 FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE COUNTING) AND I --LONG AGO BOUGHT A FOAL BALNKET FOR THUMPER ( BIG DOG)  SINCE THEN WE HAVE HAD GIFTS OF ..MANY---AND A FEW ARE TRULY XXL FOR A DANE----- MOST EVEN IF XXL ARE INTENDED FOR A XXL  DOBERMAN - OR SOME SUCH---  WHICH FIT THE YOUNGER DOGS FINE-- BUT NOT BENTLEY-- SO I AM LOOKING FOR  ONE OF NO FEWER THAN 20 BLAKETS  THAT I AM SURE WE OWN. BECAUSE OF THE EFFORT INVOLVED IN LOCATING ONE OF THE 20 ,  I END UP NOT GOING OUT AT ALL. 
TRACY MAY COME ALONG AND SAY " THEY ARE ALL FOLDED NEATLY IN THE TRAINING ROOM."
WONDERFUL-- BUT I AM AT THE FRONT DOOR.

SO TO FURTHER THIS INTELECTUAL PROBLEM, I DECIDED TO LIST  A FEW THINGS OF EAXCETLY WHAT IS AT THE FRONT DOOR--- ALL READY TO GO AT A MOMENT'S NOTICE...
3 DOZEN  TENT PEGS, A CUP FULL OF NEW BLADES FOR BOX CUTTERS, 
9 POPCORN PACKETS ( FROM STEDMAN KIDS) ,  A COPPER POT OF WEIGHT STICKERS FROM PURINA BAGS, BACK SCRATCHER, STETHOSCOPE ,A 4 FOOT RULER.  AND A FIRE EXTINGUISHER.

 THE RACK (THE BUSINESS END OF A BROKEN METAL RAKE)  WHICH IS PERFECT  TO HOLD THE  SIMPLE  ROPE LEASHES WE CONSTANTLY USE CAN NOT BE USED FOR THAT PURPOSE BECAUSE IT  IS FILLED WITH- ANYTHING ELSE THAT WILL HANG--  A DEVICE FOR ALPHAETICALLY SORTING NAME TAGS-  THE MAIL BAG,  AN EXTENSION CORD. SOMEBODY'S LEATHER BELT AND A COFFEE MUG.

NOW....IS THE PROBLEM THAT PEOPLE ARE TOO RUSHED TO PUT THINGS WHERE THEY BELONG-- OR  THAT NO ONE EXCEPT TRACY SEEMS TO KNOW WHERE ANYTHING IS ANYWAY..?

AND THEH  THERE IS MEGAN-- BLESS HER - SHE IS A GODSEND - SHE IS SUPER AT NEARLY EVERYTHING ,,, INCLUDING STRAIGHTEINING THINGS OUT SO IT LOOKS GOOD.  SHE HAS A FANTASTIC MEMORY-- SO WHEN SHE SHOVES SOMETHING OUT OF THE WAY TO SOME UNOCCUPIED PLACE-- NOT EVEN HER  VERSION OF SAINT ANTHONY CAN FIND IT.

WE ARE RUNNING OUT OF UNOCCUPIED PLACES-- LAST TIME MARK WAS HERE , HE NOTED WE DID NOT HAVE ANYTHING HANGING FROM THE UPPER  BEAMS IN THE HOUSE...YET.

MY PROBLEM-- WHICH I THINK  HAS A HISTORY  IN OUR FAMILY- IF I CAN NOT SEE IT , I CAN NOT FIND IT... AND OFTEN RESORT TO BUYING ANOTHER  WHATEVER IT I S...

WE HAD AN AUNT--- AUNT MABEL--- WHO HAD A SUMMER COTTAGE IN SOUTH NORWALK CONN.  SHE HAD TAUGHT THE "BAD BOYS" IN NEW YORK'S CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM. 
SHE HAD DEVISED "ABSOLUTE" ANSWERS TO HER VARIOUS CHALLANGES.. LIKE  COOKING.
SHE HUNG ALL HER POTS AND PANS FROM THE RAFTERS IN HER KITCHEN SO SHE COUDL STAND AND GRAB WHAT SHE WANTED WITHOUT ALOT OF . WONDERING WHERE SHE PUT IT LAST.

SHE WAS MARRIED TO UNCLE WARREN-- HE HAD A ROOM OFF THE GARAGE-  WE WERE NEVER TOO SURE WHAT HAPPENED TO UNCLE WARREN...-  IT WAS LONG AGO...

HOW LONG AGO???  WE USED TO EAT DIG AND EAT CLAMS FROM THE SHORELINE-- AND I REMEMBER THE DAY THE NOTICE CAME OUT THAT THE WATERS WERE OFFICIALLY POLLOUTED-  AS A CHILD- I THOUGHT "WELL THEY WILL GET THAT CLEANED UP "-- THAT WAS IN THE 1940'S... I AM  STILL WAITING....
**********
I HAD A NASTY DISCUSSION WITH THERESA ABOUT THE NEW ACCOUNTING SYSTEM DUE TO GO IN EFFECT IN ??? 2 DAYS????  AUTO STUFF WILL NOT BE IN #10 AND UTILITIES IN #38
SHE SAYS IT HAS TO BE ALPHABETIC--  SHE DOES NOT REALIZE THAT  I DO NOT HAE\V A CLUE IF "F"  COMES BEFORE OR AFTER "J"  AND HAVE TO START AT THE BEGINNING A B C D KIND OF THING--  I HAVE A FEW PLACES MEMOIRIZED PRETTY WELL.. LIKE  L M N O.

THAT IS  ONLY BECAOSUE OF THE JOKE
A B C D PUPPIES
L M N O PUPPIES 
O S A R PUPPIES 
C M P N ?

for those who need help with that   "abbie see da puppies"

I  QUIT---
 BACK TO FINDING ACCREDITATION STUFF FOR JANINE TO RE-WRITE
