I HAVE VERY FEW EXQUISITE POSSESSIONS.. ONE IS A BACK SCRATCHER--- GIVEN TO ME BY THE VETERAN-- FROM MAINE ---TO WHOM WE GAVE ?GEORGIA-- HIS HOBBY/BUSINESS WAS FINISHING SOME VERY EXOTIC WOODS INTO USEFUL ITEMS... HENCE MY BACKSCRATCHER..
IF ANY OF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A PERFECT GIFT FOR SOMEONE WHO HAS EVERYTHING I COULD DIG OUT HIS NAME AND SEE IF HE IS STILL IN THE BUSINESS. IT IS A THING OF BEAUTY .
ANOTHER WONDERFUL GIFT FOR SOMEONE WITH AN AWFUL LOT OF STUFF TO BEGIN WITH... IS A TOOTHPICK HOLDER --ONE OF BETSY'S FRIENDS ( JEWELERY MAKING BETSY / SCARLOTT) COPIED WHAT WAS IN MY FAMILY DINING ROOM LONG BEFORE I HAD EVEN ONE DONKEY.. IT IS A PERFECTLY SHAPPED MINI DONKEY.. IN PEWTER-- WITH PANIERS TO HOLD THE TOOTHPICKS ... (OR MY HEARING AIDS OVERNIGHT.)- HE DONATED THEM WITH THE IDEA THAT I SELL THEM FOR $100--I WILL TRY AND GET A PICTURE OF THEM IN OUR DOGGIE BAG WEB SITE..
****
WHICH BRINGS TO MIND JUST HOW MUCH OF ANYTHING IS NECESSARY... I HEARD OF A COMPANY THAT WAS GIVING NO BONUS THIS YEAR TO THEIR EXEC'S WHO MAKE OVER A MIL A YEAR ANYWAY... DARN SHAME... DOES IT MAKE WHIPPED CREAM ANY LESS FATTENING? DO YOU REALLY NEED A HOUSE WITH 5 BATHROOMS?
WELL- LET ME RETHINK-- IF YOU NEED A HOUSE WITH 5 BATHROOMS, THERE MUST BE SOME OTHER PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED IN SOME OTHER MANNER.
WHEN I REDID MY BATHROOM A COUPLE YEARS AGO TO INSTALL A LONG TUB FOR SOAKING, I ENDED UP WITH A VERY SMALL SINK WHICH EVERYONE- INCLUDING THE CARPENTER, AND PLUMBER TRIED TO TALK ME OUT OF.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE REST OF THE WORLD DOES IN A BATHROOM SINK.... I ONLY KNOW A SINK IIS TO PUT UNDER A VERY INEXPENSIVE METAL MEDICINE CABINET WHICH RUSTS IN THE BOTTOM IN 6 MONTHS, EVEN IF YOU DON'T USE IT.

CONTINUING WITH THIS CONCEPT OF WRETCHED EXCESS I DONT KNOW IF IT IS TRUE, BUT IF IT IS NOT... IT SHOULD BE... THERE IS A COUNTRY WHERE A SPEEDING TICKET CAN COST $64,000.
I AM TOLD- THAT ALL FINES IN THE COUNTRY ARE BASED ON THE INCOME OF THE OFFENDING PARTY
HENCE THE $12,782 PARKING TICKET... IT WORKS FOR ME... WHAT A FANTASTIC SOURCE OF REVENUE....
I AM TOLD IT IS NORWAY.... ?TWAN????
***********
BACK TO DONKEYS-- AT 10:30 JANINE WILL HAVE... I ASSUME... HER SUNDAY MORNING WALK ABOUT WITH DONKEYS.
THE PATH THRU THE WOODS IS HOPEFULLY PASSABLE... JOYCE DID GO AND CHECK-- THERE WAS A SMALL AMT OF WATER IN THE PIPE- AND STILL NEEDS MORE DIRT ON TOP TO IMPROVE THE FOOTING.
PEG SHOWED UP YESTERDAY WITH HER COLLEDTION OF HORSE HALTERS... WHY THEN? I DO NOT KNOW IF IT WAS NOT GOLDIE... THEN WHY??? -- SO WE MAY EVEN HAVE ONE HALTER PER DONKEY.
*****
WE DID HAVE A MASSIVE RAINSTORM.. AND OUR LITTLE POND IS UP AT LEAST 8 INCHES...
HOW BIG A RAINSTORM?? EVEN MY PHONE HAD AN EMERGENCY FLOOD WATCH NOTICE... MAKES ME SLIGHTLY CONCERNED THAT IT KNOWS WHERE I LIVE-- ( THO THAT COULD BE HELPFUL TOO)
****
INGRID SEEMS TO BE HAVING A LOVELY TIME SWEEPING AND CLEANING... IN ANTICIPATION OF HER 3 COLLEGE FRIENDS WHO ARE COMING HERRE TOMORROW TO SPEND A FEW DAYS COOKING....
NOW WHAT MORE COULD I ASK FOR.?????
