FEB 10 2016
i heard ajay wrote some note about my accident....   i didn't know anything about that   
and i don't want that ouT` and around----please don't distribute that to firehouses 

WE PRINTED A NICE SIMPLE POSTER WITH THE FACTS WE WANTED THEM TO KNOW... 
AND I WANTED IT TO BE JUST A SIMPLE  CHEERFUL MOMENT WITHOUT
BEING burdened with details.

THE IDEA OF CELEBRATING TEH  19TH NEVER HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE ACCIDENT...
SO PLEASE DO NOT DISTRIBUTE THE LETTER... 

just do the cake thing.    they can't accept money or gifts, but  seem to accept the cake bit--- 
**
AS FOR THE CARDS TO TH E MALDEN CREW WHO RESCUED ME....... HERE'S EARLY SANDY'S NOTE
*******
Hi Carlene:
Just talked with a friend on the MALDEN fire dept, they're  getting cards in from every where, and they're thrilled. Can you please remind the CP that they are not allow to except gifts, some people are sending money they have to send it back to them, they are very thankful but they can not keep these gifts. 
Maybe at mail call you can say something. Card are o k but gifts they can not except. 
Early Sandy

ANN IS  WORKING VERY HARD ON THE CUMMINGS GRANT... THERE WERE TOO MANY PEOPLE IN TH E HOUSE TO GET ANY WRITING DONE--SO WE WENT TO  LUNCH AT  POMODORI'S|  FROM WHICH WE ORDER DINNERS..- I WAS THRILLED TO FIND THEY  HAD THAT "EURO" SUB WHICH I TRIED TO MAKE MONTHS AGO INVOLVING GROUND LAMB AND THE BLOW TORCH....
WHICH IS WHY THERE IS STILL A BLOWTORCH ON MY DESK....
**************
MY MISERIES WITH MY MAC COMPUTER MAY BE OVER...  I FINALLY CALLED WITH THE FULL INTENTION OF HIRING SOMEONE TO COME LOOK OVER THIS  MACHINE- IT WAS COLD OUT AND SITTING ON HOLD in front of the fireplace  Was a perfect  thing to do- so i got all set--- cup of coffee-- suduko puzzle book.. nice fire... and  darned if i wasn't put right thru to  a CPU senior advisor  Frank---   it took 3.2 minutes  for me to realize this guy knew what he was talking about- and will wondeers never cease... he spoke english !!  and was in indianna !! what a pleasant man... and he knew his stuff ----i fully expected an aging teenager in india   .. it took a while as he suffered with my lack of knowledge and hearing...- but hung in there.. and we deleted  27,000 things by actual count. my mac feels much better now...it had the exlax treatment.
By the time we had  finished, i had found out he was  60 years old... wow !
he reminded me of the older man i talked to the day i needed help with my ancient check writer-- at 75 he knew that checkwriter inside and out... and was very pleased to be of help with it.
the fact that i was shocked to get a real person who was helpful is another comment on  the state of the world. 

 this country could have full employment if they  made illegal the words " please stay on the line your call is important."

NOW IT IS ABOUT THE PREGNANCY CHECK ON THE DONKEY .....MY AGE IS SHOWING-- USED TO BE... AND THAT VETERNARIAN SHOW  WITH DR POL STILL DOES-----  A PREGENACY CHECK ON A LARGE ANIMAL -- HORSE,COW,DONKEY BY "FEELING" FOR THE FETUS WITH A  RECTAL MANUAL EXAM -- WITH A SHOULDER LEGNTH GYN  SLEEVE AND A SMEAR OF MINERAL OIL--THAT WAS QUICK, SIMPLE, AND THE VET COULD ESTIMATTE THE  DUE DATE... .. BUT NOW... IT IS POSSIBLE TO DRAW BLOOD, SEND IT OFF TO A LAB SOMEWHERE AND WAIT A WEEK  FOR SOMEONE TO INTERPERT IT  AND GET A YES  OR A NO..  ?THIS IS PROGRESS? 

 WE REALLY SHOULD KNOW BECAUSE PALM SUNDAY IS COMING AND WE DO GET CALLS FOR A DONKEY TO PARADE FOR VARIOUS JESUS JOBS.  BEING A DONKEY THAT WAS RESCUED FROM TH E SLAUGHTER PENS IN TEXAS, WE HAVE NO IDEA ABOUT HER--- AND IF SHE IS NOT PREGO... SHE IS GETTING TOO MUCH FOOD.  THERE IS A BULDGE THAT LOOKS A LITTLE STRANGE.  SHE HAS NO MILK BAG YET ... 
STAY TUNED...

JUst a quick update:
Audrey is settling in very well with our family.  We haven't had any issues at all.  She is eating, playing, running, sleeping and listening very well. 
My border collie is quirky and will not come all the way up the basement steps without being specifically invited to do so and yesterday Audrey kept coming in the living  and staring right at me and then running back out thru the dining room.  I went to see what her issue was and there was Kenny waiting at the top of the stairs and after he came all the way up she was happy and settled down.  She always makes sure she knows where he is at at all times...
We are very, very happy with our new addition!
Thank You!
