I AM THRILLED TO FIND THAT THE ENTIRE CAMERA COMMUNITY HAS COME SO FAR AS TO NOT CALL ME BECAUSE A MOUSE WAS RUNNING AROUND THE KITCHEN... CAMERAS 24/7 PICK UP EVERYTHING-- INCLUDING UN ANNOUNCED GUESTS...
ONE REASON WE ARE INCLINED TO HAVE THEM IS ....... IN AN EFFORT TO HAVE KITCHEN COUNTERS HIGHER THAN THOSE REQUIRED BY MY 4'10" GRANDPARENTS, I TOOK A 2X 6" BOARD AND STOOD IT ON EDGE... COVERED IT WITH A PIECE OF PLYWOOD.. AN DDECIDED I WAS VERY CLEVER TO HAVE HIGHER COUNTERS.. WHAT I WAS NOT SO CLEVER ABOUT IS , I HAD JUST INSTALLED RODENT CONDOS WHICH SEVERAL YEARS AGO WERE INHABITED BY GISELLE AND HER FAMILY--
GISELLE WAS TEH BREADWINNER-- I HEARD NIGHTLY RUMBLINGS IN THE MILKBONE BOXES AND FINALLY SET HER UP ...FOR SEVERAL NIGHTS I WATCHED HER LUG 4 LARGE MILKBONES FROM THE MIDDLE OF THE LIVING ROOM TO THE CONDO......
THEY WERE ACCUSTOMED TO GOING OUT TO DINNER IN THE FILE CABINETS... GISELLE HERSELF MAKING A MAD DASH HOME ONE DAY RIGHT ACROSS MY LAP.
THIS CAUSED ME TO DRILL THE 2" HOLE YOU CAN SEE IN THE 6" RISER UNDER THE COFFEE COUNTER SO I COULD SHOVE THE SHOP VAC IN THERE TO CLEAN UP.. AND ENCOURAGE THE FAMILY TO MOVE BACK INTO THE FOREST-- WHICH THEY DID--- FOR ?2 YEARS?
NOW THEY MAY HAVE SENT GISELLE'S SECOND COUSIN--- MICHAEL THE MOUSE... SCOUTING FOR AN AVAILABLE CONDO SO THAT NEXT FALL THEY CAN MOVE BACK IN FOR THE WINTER...
NEXT TIME JANINE LEAVES WANDA ( THE JACK RUSSEL) HERE, WE CAN PUT ON HER YELLOW SECURITY GUARD VEST AND LET HER INVESTIGATE, AND DISCOURAGE ANY MIGRATION.

NEW HORSE -- AN D LINCOLN-- GO T NEW SHOES YESTERDAY-- FRONT SHOES ONLY -- FOR 3 REASONS... CHEAPER.. 70% THEIR WEIGHT IS ON THE FRONT FEET... AND IN CASE THEY KICK AT EACH OTHER.
"41" HAS BEEN SUGGESTED FOR A NAME-- HAVEN'T GOT A BETTER ONE YET...
*****
THE BABY GGUINNEA HENS MADE IT THRU YETERDAY ... MOSTLY.. APPARENTLY WE HAD A CLOSE CALL WITH ANDREW... WHO NEEDS HIS CLOCK CLEANED TODAY ON THE TOPIC OF BIRDS...
IT IS A CASE WHERE THAT E-COLLAR WOULD WORK... AND BE TEH KINDEST IN THE LONG RUN...
SEE JANINE'S BOOK.... ( DOGS DONKEYS AND CIRCUS)--- AS A YOUNG CHILD, I TOLD HER NOT TO TOUCH THE ELECTRIC FENCE.. AND SHE DID... AFTER THAT SHE PAID ATTENTION OT INSTRUCTIONS BETTER.
********
NOW AB0UT THE ACCOUNTANTS WHO WERE HERE ALL DAY YESTERDAY... IT WAS A CHORE... ESPECIALLY 2014-- WHICH IS WHAT WE ARE PAYING THEM TO DO.... WHEN THE QUICKEN PROGRAM WE USED CHANGES A PAYMENT OF $822 TO A DEPOSIT OF $11,432-- AND THEN HIDES IT FROM NORMAL PRINTOUTS. .. IT MAKES FOR INCORRECT TOTALS IN ABOUT EVERY CATAGORIE... IT DID TOTALLLY REARRAINGE "SPLIT" TRANSACTIONS DOZENS OF TIMES IN 2014--
I AM HAPPY WITH THE BANK TOTALS AND THEN SPLIT THE CATAGORIES TO SUIT THAT NUMBER. AND I DON'T SEE WHY THE IRS- OR ANYONE ELSE ( 501 C 3 DEPT) WOULD THINK THAT UNREASONABLE.
KEYPUNCHING THE ENTIRE YEAR INTO A DIFFERENT SYSTEM... OR SPREADSHEET.. WOULD TAKE A DAY OR TWO
BU T HTE BANK STATEMENTS HAVE ALREADY DONE THAT.... SO USE THOSE NUMBERS.
*********
I MUST WORK ON AUDRY-- BOTH DONNA AND SMILEY ARE AHEAD OF ME IN WELL BEHAVED WHITE DOG...
I THINK I WON THE LAST SIMILAR CONTEST BETWEEN THE LITTERMATES MORIAH, MEGAN AND MARIA'S DOGS... BAD AS SHE IS , I THINK MORIAH IS THE BEST OF THE 3.
*************
I HAVE
HEARD FROM JASPER'S OWNER IN PORTSMOUTH--- HE IS READY WILLING AND ABLE TO COURT ANY FEMALE WE PRESENT TO HIM..... LIKE MISCHA... WHO IS DUE IN HEAT SOON.
*****
WE ARE GOING TO TRY OPAL TOO LIVE WITH BETSYS RELATIVES IN WALHAM???? ON THE SAME BASIS AS SCARLOTT... WE NEED HER AVAILABLE FOR PUPPIES-- SHE IS BENTLEYS SISTER... AND I HOPE WE CCAN GET PUPS FROM HER TOO..
THEY WILL BE HERE TODAY IN THE GUEST HOUSE TO TALK WITH OPAL AND SEE HOW SHE FEELS ABOUT IT.
******
BRICKS NEARLY SOLD OUT... IGUESS I BETTER CALL THE GARMENT COMPANY THAT INSTALLED THE 2 WASCOMATTS IN THE LAUNDRY AND FEED ROOM. THE MAJORITY OF THE L;AUNDRY IS BEING PRODUCED IN AND NEAR THE HOUSE...
