 4 16 2021

 FF-- FINALLY FRIDAY-  I THINK I HAVE EVERYTHING NEEDED FOR  THE BARKING  AND A LIST OF CHANGES WE HAVE MADE... I KNOW I BOUGHT ALL TEH BUCKET FEEDERS FOR TEH 9 PM FEEDING   WHICH IS A GOOD IDEA FOR THE DOGS BENIFIT... I AM NOT SURE THEY ARE HANGING IN EACH STALL YET..  I DO KNOW THEY WENT THRU THE DISH WASHER.    IT IS HARD TO ESTABLISH A NEW SYSTEM... BUT WE ARE WORKING ON IT.


TEH NEW BABY DONKEY JUST ARRIVED TO UPSET THE  ROUTINE AGAIN... SINCE EVERYTHING. LOOKS FINE... HE/SHE/IT IS UP AND HAS THE RIGHT IDEA TO EVENTUALLY FIND EH MILK SUPPLY.  SO I STOPPED WATCHING. AND I SAW NO REASON TO CALL JANINE... ALL SEEMS WELL AND SHE NEEDS HER SLEEP TOO.

AS I TOOK GWEN TO TTHE AIRPORT WE GOT TO MENTALLY RUNNING THRU HER  FASCINATION FOR CLEANING-- MASSIVE CLEANING ... LIKE JUNK CLOSETS.. OR OU R GUEST HOUSE..  TURNS OUT WHILE STAYING  WITH SOME  OF HER FRIENMDS SHE HAS BEEN INVITED TO "ORGANIZE" A CLOSET OFR TWO. WITH AMAZING RESULTS AND FINDSINTERESTING THNGS. THROWING OUT THE REST.
I SUGGESTED  THERE IS A BOOK IN THE MAKING. JANINE AND I CAN  CREATE TEH STUFFED COSET FOR HER  TO CLEAN.. WHICH STARTED ME THINKING....
THE LIFE OF  CLUTTER.. OR ... FROM CUP TO CRATE TO CLOSET. 
YOU START WITH A COFFEE CUP ON THE TABLE.. INTO WHICH YOU ADD A PEN... AND MAYBE A SECOND PEN PLUS A SMALL PAIR OF SCISSORS.
AND THEN YOU GET A BILL FROM YOUR FAVORITE PLUMBER... WHO CLIPS A BUSINESS CARD TO THE BILL WITH A PAPER CLIP.
NOW... THERE ARE TIMES YOU REALLY NEED A PAPERCLIP-- BUT NOT OFTEN ENOUGH TO  ORDER A BOXFUL FROM STAPLES,  SO YOU ADD THE PAPERCLIP[ TO THE COFFEE CUP.  THAT CONCEPT WILL EVOLVE TO A FILLED  MILK CRATE WITHIN 7 MONTHS. WHICH CONTAINS SO MANY IF'S AND MAYBE'S THAT YOU NO LONGER FIND EH INDIVIDUAL PAPERCLIP WHICH STARTED THE PROCESS.
SO YOU  ORDER A BOX FROM AMAZON
 THUS EXPLAINETH  AMERICAN BUSINESS TRENDS.
INTO THIS SCENERIO ENTER GWEN  WHO HAS MADE A STUDY OF WHERE AND WHY OF EACH ITEM IN  TEH  CRATE .. WHICH IS BY THEN A CLOSET.

I KNOW WITH JANINE AND MY HELP THERE IS A BOOK IN THE. MAKING,

ONE OF THE CLOSETS SHE HAS "ORGANIZED " IS BETH'S...  NICE WOMAN WHO HAS A FASCINATION FOR  CIRCLES-- WAGON WHEELS DOWN TO  BRASS RINGS...APPARENTLY.  BECAUSE GWEN TOOK SOME OF MINE FOR HER.. THEY ARE HUGELY EXPENSIVE IN ANY NORMAL MARKET.  LIKE 3" WOULD BE $10-- HOWEVER THEY ARE A NORMAL ITEM IN HARNESS MAKING... SO SMUCKERS HARNESS OF PENNA HAS BARRELS ALL SIZES $1 TO $3. - SMUCKERS IS WHERE I GOT THE HOR TIPS FOR ELVOS-- A NORMAL REQUEST FOR THEM.  
FYI
WHICH MAKE ME THINK.. OF SLEIGH BELLS --- HORRENDOUSLY EXPENSIVE IN  ANTIQUE  STORES ---   BUT IN WEAVER LEATHER, A SADDLE/ HARNESS OUTFIT... THEY HAVE GRADUATED  SIZES. FROMM 1.25 TO 3.5 INCH.. FROM $3 TO $36 JUST IN CASE YOU  NEED A BELL OR TWO. 

THIS HAS BEEN A WEEK OF BEING "RIDDEN HARD AND PUT UP WET" .  STRESS?  START WITH REESE..... AND GO FROM THERE.   THANKS FOR ALL THE HELP AND ENCOURAGEMENT ON ALL FRONTS. ESPECIALLY CHARLIE. WHO KNOWS ME WELL ENOUGH TO KNOW I HAVE ZERO TOLERANCE FOR ANY ABUSE.  

AUSTRALIA  AGAIN...  ? RED NOSE DAY??????
I was so surprised to see my letter in yesterdays DD, I yelled to my husband " I'm in the DD, I 'm in the DD".
I was thrilled, I have had a bad few months with painful arthritis and stress at work but all that changed when I read the DD , thank you.

I watched mail call this morning with my breakfast and was very impressed with Charlie, what a nice man. You looked very tired after that I hope that you got a good nights sleep.

In Australia we have a day in September, like pink ribbon day or red nose day, it's called" R U OK day". It's a simple thing that sometimes we forget to ask  someone who  maybe needs a pick me up.

So Carlene I would just like to ask R U OK.
