WELL GOING TO THE "OLD FOLKS HOME" WAS GOOD FUN...JUDY AND I WENT TO TWO- AND LET ME TELL YOU .. THERE IS A SYSTEM IN PLACE TO TAKE CARE OF US OLD FOLKS... A SHORT BUS RUNS AROUND TOWN AND PICKS UP PEOPLE TO COME TO A CENTER FOR A GOOD LUNCH MEAL AND " ENTERTINMENT" ( I.E. JUDY , ME, BENTLY,SIZ AND MAY) THE SECOND PLACE WE HIT - WITH ONLY 5 MINUTES WARNING, A VERY NICE WOMAN MET US AT THE DOOR AND SAID " THE HOOKERS ARE ON THE SECOND FLOOR" WE OPTED TO SIT IN THE LOBBY AND NEVER DID JOINN THE HOOKERS EVEN IF IT SOUNDED INTERESTING....WE JUST GATHERED A CROWD THERE AS BUSLOADS OF SMALL GROUPS WANDERED PAST TOWARD TEH GOOD SMELLING FOOD SOMEWHERE DOWN THE HALL...
NOW I DID BRING UP THE TOPIC OF FOOD. WITH BOTH PLACES.. BOTH WANTED TO HAVE US COME BACK AND I DID EXPLAIN THAT THE CHARGE WOULD BE 2 OR 3 SANDWICHES TO GO... BOTH SAID THAT WOULD BE NO PROBLEM !!
JUDY CAREFULLY WROTE DOWN NAMES TO CALL AND ON WE WENT...
THESE PLACES ARE ALOT BETTER THAN THE "OLD FOLKS HOMES" I REMEMBER AS A KID !---- SO SOMEWHERE SOME CONGRESS PERSON PASSED SOME LAW ABOUT SMALL TOWNS CARING FOR THE ELDERLY-- SO FAR VERY WELL DONE-- COURSE WE WERE NOT IN THE LOW RENT DISTRICT YESTERDAY EITHER... IT COUDL TAKE A TURN FOR THE WORST AS WE PROCEED THRU THIS PROJECT..-
WE WERE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF TEH MERRIMAC RIVER-----WHEN I DELIVERED MAGAZINES IN THE AREA, I KNEW OF A SMALL BRIDGE ACROSS THIS SIGNIFICANT RIVER TO WEST NEWBURY--- WHICH IS WHERE OUR THIRD SR CENTER WAS..
LUCKILY WE HAD NOT CALLD AHEAD... BECASUE EITHER SOMEONE TOOK DOWN THE SIGN TO THAT BRIDGE.... OR THE BRIDGE ITSELF FELL DOWN... AT ANY RATE-- WE MISSED THAT AND STARTED A LONG CONVERSATION OBOUT THE MONUMENTAL PROBLEMS A BUNCH OF RUNNING WATER COULD PRESENT-- IT CERTAINLY IS TOO BIGT FOR A HORSE TO SWIM ACROSS SO HOW DID SAM ADAMS AND FRIENDS GT ANYWHERE WAY BACK WHEN... I HAVE ALWAYS LOOKED AT THE HUDSON RIVER AND WONDERED WHY ANYONE WOULD DECIDE TO CROSS IT AND GO TO PHILADELPHIA TO SIGN ANYTHING.... ? BOSTON RAN OUT OF PENS???-
HAVING MISSED THAT RIVER CROSSING, THE NEXT BRIDGE PUT US RIGHT IN LINE FOR THE INDIAN/ ITALIAN RESTAURANT/GAS STATION I AM TRYING TO KEEP IN BUSINESS-- THE GUY HAS PRETTY GOOD INDIAN FOOD- AND FINALLY THE ROAD REPAIR IN FRONT OF HIS PLACE HAS FINISHED... HE WAS PLEASED TO SEE US.. SIMPLY SAID, IT WAS NOT CROWDED... HOWEVER .. HE HAD SOME KIND OF VIDEO THING-- SO WE LEFT HIM A THUMBDRIVE OF OUR SHORT VIDEOS- AND ANOTEHR CUSTOMER WAS TRYING TO GET SOMETHIGN BESIDES MY STILL PHOTO FEEDING TEH 8 PUPS.... ON THE SCREEN...
I HAVE A BUNCH OF THOSE 4 GB ORANGE THUMBDRIVES-- BEFORE I FOUND OUT THAT THE GOOD 31 MINUTE VIDEO NEEDED 4.0000000001 GB. I HAVE IN MIND PUTTING ON TEH 30 SECOND AND 10 MIN VIDEOS AND LEAVING THEM ANYWHERE THAT HAS CAPABILITY????/-
WE CAREFULLY WATERED OUR THREE DOGS OUT OF A PLASTIC BAG HELD IN BOWL SHAPE- I ALWAYS STASH ANY 1/2 USED WATR BOTTLES IN THE DOOR OF MY CAR FOR JUST THAT PURPOSE. I EVEN HAVE A DOGW BOWL... BUT THAT IS STILL ON MY GOLF CART-- EN ROUTE-- FOR ABOTU 6 MONTHS.
