GREAT PARTY IN SPITE OF THE STORM-- AS I HAVE SAID-- ANIMAL PEOPLE DON'T LET WEATHER DISTRACT THEM..... AND IT IS INTERESTING TO HAVE ALL THE VOLUNTEERS MEET EACH OTHER...
MOST OFTEN THEY ARE LIKE " SHIPS THAT PASS IN THE NIGHT"
MARK TOOK PICTURES.
EARLY SANDY DID THINGS LIKE TALK TO TH E COOKS WHO DID PACKAGE UP THE LEFT OVERWS FOR US TO TAKE HOME-- TURNS OUT SOMEONE HEARD TEH WAIT STAFF COMPLAIN BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT THEY USUALLY SNACK ON AT MIDNIGHT.. HOWERVER IT IS ALL IN THE GUREST HOUSE..
WILLIAM AND KITTY WERE THERE SO WE DISCUSSED THE NEXT CALENDAR AT GREAT LEGNTH.. AND MAY HAVE COME UOP WITH 2 POSSIBLE PICTURES-- WE ONLY NEED 13.... WE STARTED LAST YEAR'S IN JAN AND STILL HAD TO RUSH IN NOVEMBER TO GET IT OUT BEFORE CHIRSTMAS !! BUT IT IS BEAUTIFUL
GRACE'S REMODELED LAUNDRY DETERGENT CONTAINERS WERE VERY WELL DONE AND RECIEVED... ALL INDIVIDUALLY DESIGNED WITH THE RECIPIENT'S VARIOUS SKILLS- LIKE ANNIE'S DONKEY HANDLING...
THE 2 STEVES DID MC STINTS VERY WELL.
AND WE ALL ATE--AND I JUST ASKED TANNER TO GO GET SOME OUT OF THE GUEST HOUSE REFRIG. FOR BREAKFAST..... WHICH IS WHERE IT ALL LANDED-- HOPEFULLY...
TRAVELING WAS INTERESTING..
USUALLY RT1 AND 95 ARE GIVEN HIGH PRIORITY ( BEING TEH MAIN ROADS FROM MAINE TO FLORIDA) THE REATAURANT WAS ON RT 1--- AND THE FUZZ UNDER TIRES WAS ABOUT 4" DEEP WHEN WE LEFT DINNER.-- RT 95 WAS NOT MUCH BETTER ALL THE WAY THRU TOPSFIELD... IT LOOKIED LIKE IT HAD NOT BEEN PLOWED AT ALL-- THERE WAS NO MOUND OF SNOW AT ALL..BESIDE THE ROAD FROM PLOWING..
THAT IS UNHEARD OF ON RT 95 IN THIS AREA... - MY THEORY OF "ALL THE PLOWS WENT TO WASHING TON " SEEMS TO BE TRUE... THEY SURE WEREN'T HERE.-- SO OFTEN WE SEE A CONGA LINE OF 4 TRUCKS SITTING ON AN OVERPASS WAITING FOR THE NEXT RUN... WE SAW 2 AT A DUNKIN DONUTS....
******
WE RE DESIGNED THE OFFICE SPACE TO BETTER HAVE A WORK AREA... THERESA'S DESK IS IN THE SUN ROOM--- AND I AM GONG TO TRY AND KEEP THE DOGS OUT OF THERE. UNLESS INVITED.
WE NOW CAN SIT AND EAT FOOD AROUND THE FIRE AND WARM UP. JOYCE SPENT TIME UNTANGLING THE WIRES OF TEH MAILCALL MIC.. A MAJOR IMPROVEMENT... PLUS TEH "KITCHEN PUPS" HAVE RUN OF THE FULL AREA -- IT WAS GETTTING CROWE==DED AND THEY WERE CHEWING ON EACH OTHER A BIT MORE THAN I LIKE.
SOMETHING ABOUT TOO MANY RATS IN A CAGE????
*******
I WILL GET OUT AND PLAY WITH THE NEW PLOW- THO THERE IS HARDLY ENOUGH TO BE SERIOUS ABOUT PUSHING SNOW AROUND.
*****
THE PERSON I WAS TRYING TO CONTACT DID MAKE CONNECTION-- SO NOW THERE ARE 3 PEOPLE OUT THERE ( WEST COAST) RENEE THEN OREGON AND WASHINGTON... IF WE ADD TINA TO THE GROUP WE HAVE A NUCLEUS OF S SDP SATELITE GROUP..
COULD HAPPEN...
**************.
P.S.... HOW COULD I FORGET THE VOMIT REPORT....SEVERAL PEOPLE LAST NIGHT REPORTED THEY THOUGHT THEY SAW ARIOT SWALLOW A TOY. YOU WERE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT-- JUST AS I BIT INTO MY GENERAL GAO CHICKEN, SHE RETURNED THE TOY TO THE SOFA...
