THANK YOU ALL FOR THE SELL OUT YESTERDAY--- TEH FOURTH OF JULY IS ALWAYS DIFFICULT... BUT WE MADE IT IN SPITE OF SOME SITE DIFFICULTIES...
WE HAVE A VERY INTERESTING VISITOR HERE... A CP FROM CALIFORNIA- TRAVELING IN A VAN --I OFFERED HER THE GUEST HOUSE-- AND SHE TURNED IT DOWN SAYING THE VAN WAS HER DEN/CACOON AND SHE LOVED SLEEPING THERE...-- I AM JEALOUS. -- THE SIMPLICITY OF ONLY ONE CAR FULL OF PARAPHERNALIA
DOES HAVE IT'S APPEAL.
WITH COVID LOOSENING. WE ARE BUILDING UP A NEW SUPPLY OF VOLUNTEERS----PEOPLE WANDER DOWN THE DRIVEWAY SAYING "I HAVE BEEN DRIVING PAST HERE FOR YEARS AND NEVER HAD TIME TO STOP IN... THIS IS A WHOLE NEW WORLD BACK HERE IN THE WOODS."
SO LOOSENING UP PEOPLE IN GENERAL.... HOW ABOUT TAKING TEH NEXT MONTH TO SEE IF WE CAN DOUBLE THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE WATCHING EXPLORE.ORG...--- DOUBLE THE NUMBER OF SPLIT SCREENS -----WHERE YOU HAVE YUR WORK ON ONE SIDE AND THE PANDAS FALLING OTU OF TREES ON THE OTHER...... THERE ARE SOME CAMERA PEOPOLE WH O FOLLOW BIRDS AS RELIGIOUSLY AS TEH PUPPIES...AND ELEPHANTS... AND FISH. THERE ARE A PLETHORA OF NATURE SITES TO WANDER THRU.... NO COMMERCIALS THANIKS TO CHARLIE'S NEVER STOP LEARNING..... THERE ARE SOOOOOO MANY PEOPLE WHO DO NOT EVEN KNOW ABOUT THIS SIMPLE DIVERSION OF TEH NATURE CAMS.... --- EXPLORE.ORG--- AND LOOK AROUND.
WITH TEHSE SMART TV'S SO MUCH MORE IS POSSIBLE (they tell me)
LEARNING.... I HAD SEVERAL POOSITIVE COMMENTS ABOUT LEARNING ABOUT SEPTIC SYSTEMS IN YESTERDAYS DD.. ESPECIALLY TEH DYNOMITE PART... I WAS JUST SHARING MY EXPERIENCES ....
--
SPEAKING OF SHARING....... WE FINALLY TOOK TEH WHITE PLASTIC TABLE DOWN TEH DRIVEWAY-- AND WROTE ON IT. " FREE.... NOT THE TABLE, JUST THINGS ON IT." I DID VERY QUICKLY GET RID OF 4. GALLONS---PLASTIC DOG TREAT JARS- OF MISC SCREWS WASHERS ETC--- ALONG WITH 2 WINDOWS AND SEVERAL STOOLS. AND TEHN I GOT SERIOUS.... MY ORGQNIZATION OF. THE SHED GOT DOWN TO CHAINS-- OF WHICH I HAVE PLENTY... OVER TEH PAST 20 YEARS, I HAVE PICKED UP SEVERAL (3) SUPER HEAVY DUTY CHAINS THAT MUST HAVE BEEN TO HOLD A TRACTOR ON A TRAILER.. I DECIDED SINCE I HAD BEEN MADE SO FORTUNATE TO NOW HAVE THESE CHAINS... WHICH I DIDN'T NEED -- I HAD BETTER OFFER THEM TO SOMEONE WHO MIGHT USE THEM... THEY WERRE EXPENSIVE CHAINS.... BUT OF NO VALUE TO ME. THEY DIDN'T LAST AN HOUR... GONE....
NOW IF WE ALL PUT OUT ON THE STREET ALL TEH #$%^&*() WE OWN BUT HAVE NO USE FOR. JUST THINK OF ALL THE FUN WE COULD HAVE BUYING A WHOLE NEW SET OF IMPEDIMENTA TO FILL. ANY HORIZONTAL SURFACE IN OUR HOMES.
SOMEHOW ALL OF THIS IS RELATED TO OUR VISITING "CP" LIVING IN ONE CR/VAN.
I HAVE OFTEN WONDERED ABOUT LIVING IN MY TOYOTA-- IT IS HEATED AND A/C. A GREAT OIFFICE BUT ALITTLE CROWDED WITH 3 DANES.
----
TWO OF THESE DANES ARE GETTING OLDER... QUICKLY---- AREN'T WE ALL? FOR TEH SECOND NIGHT IN A ROW... I HAD TO GET UP AND GET. BOTH CHAOS AND BENTLEY. BACK IN THE BED FROM WHICH THEY HAD FALLEN... BENTLEY SLID OFF HIS BED TO LANDD UNDER MY DESK. MAKING STANDING IMPOSSIBLE... AND CHAOS'S REAR END SLID OFF TEH SOFA BY THE MAIL CALL DEPT... OVERNIGHT CAME AND GOT ME TO SHOVE HER BACK ONTO THE SOFA-- SHE QUITE CLEARLY THANKED ME... AND STRETCHED OUT TO SLEEP AGAIN...
I THINK WITH BENTLEY... HE WAS SO CLEARLY TOTALLY SOUND UNTIL ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO WHEN HE GOT STUCK AND STRUGGLED UNDER MY BED, THAT I THINK HE STRAINED SOMETH ING.. AND HE NEVER QUITE RECOVERED.
I THINK... WELL... I KNOW... THE WORD "RECOVERY" IS SELDOM USED W/R/T AGING--- I GET EVER SO SLIGHTLY MORE LIMITEED EACH ?WEEK? HEARING... SEEING... CHEWING....LIFTING... WALKING-- STUFF LIKE THAT.
. IT STARTS EARLY---- I SEE IT IN MY CHILDREN--- FIRST READING GLSSES-- AND... THEN.... JANINE IS NOT NEARLY AS WILLING TO FALL OFF SOME RANK HORSE AS SHE ONCE WAS..
-----
ON ANOTHER NOTE-- POCKETS WATCHING....-- IN THE PROCESS OF LANDING ONE OF THOSE 600 POUND BALES IN THE DONKEY CAFE.... WE LET POCKETS ROAM LOOSE... WE SHOUDL DO THAT MORE OFTEN... SHE IS LEARNING TO BRAY AND RUN TO THE CAFE FOR A CARROT---- MARY HAD THAT ON E DOWM=N PAT QND WOULD COME TO THE FRONT DOOR OF THE HOUSE AND DEMAND A TREAT.
ANIMALE DO NOT DEVELOPE THEIR FULL PERSONALITY IF LOCKED BEHIND DOORS.... SO IF WE WANT ANOTHER
"MARY" ( AND I DO). WE HAVE TO SUFFER THRU THE TEENAGE YERS OF DONKEYDOM. POCKETS WAS ACTUALLY NO PROBLEM-- SHE JUST WANTERED TO WHEREVER THERE WS ACTION... LIKE SCOOTER KAREN...
IF WE COULD JUST GET A NICE DAY FOR PAINTING TIPI POLES... WE MIGHT BE ABLRE TO SET UP THE POLES ANY DAY NOW...
