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.
