We are getting there....there are sooooo many details to get the goosing with the golden egg in the right place... Janine has some internet stuff todo... I don’t even know how to tell you where to get your Goosing with. The golden egg bit but please try !!
Maybe if I tell you the details of yesterday you might have some idea...
ThE volvo – donated by polly has become essential- but often not where it needs to be as in Sunday morning- Janine was without car in Hamilton and needed to get to Meredith farm in Topsfield with a cup of coffee already in her. so I picked her up and then the coffee and took her to Meredith to find that they were getting ready for somebody's wedding to be on that beautiful piece of property.. and they were picking out a place to have the bride and grooms picture.. but there was a tarp in the way. so they buzzed Janine on her cell phone to find out if she would please move the tarp.. and she explained that she could not do that because there was a dead horse underneath the tarp- not totally unexpected--- some of these rescues that she brings in are one foot in the grave already and she gives them a “soft landing” of some beautiful pastures with green grass... she is on an emergency cell phone basis with the man I have told you about before with the brand new aluminun truck with a winch.... because business is so good... janine managed to get the dead horse out of there before the wedding pictures- an no one the wiser... so her chore became get the 2 mamouth donkeys in the trailer and to crazy acres—so she could bring back the 3 baby horses to the greener pastures of meridith—and the to be more p[icturesque for the wedding guests- the volvo ended up at elizabeths home- a problem because the police were already fussing about the dump trailer which was very carefully parked in front of their house and the volvo does not do trailers.. would I please run to eliz’s with my forerunner...... before the Boxford Police had a stroke---Small town... usually no excitement except a mis parked trailer .
I wish I had a photo of the look on the face of the policeman when I pulled up and said I was going to back the trailer into their driveway – it is an awful angle with 2 brick posts to stop you from swinging the front of the car much of anywhere. I did not say anything but I had several choice words for what he could do with his blinking blue lights as I was thrilled ( and surprised) to make it on the first backing.....i explained to nick ( eliz husband) I needed the trailer to get some hay around the oncoming thunderstorm..so please get his dump run out of the way....... and I gave him his choice of one of the 7 licence plates on the floor of my car.... that I have been trying to match with vehicles for two weeks now..
Should be a simple matter except—2 identical trailers- and one is reg to both SDP and me—which leaves another trailer with no plate.?
Now the man with the truck has raised prices because a lot of maine is objecting to dead horses in their landfill- I don’t know where he goes now...- but for those counting,,,,, masterson charges $150 to bring and then take away the huge hole digger. Add an hour to dig a big hole, and he becomes cheaper than the guy with the winch on his truck....
And there is “mo”. Who is getting up slower and slower when she falls over----
So what’s the problem?. I had all the graves of donkeys labeled with a big rock.... til some tidy sole moved all the rocks so they could cut the grass.
Even after many years... you do not want to dig in the wrong place.
p.s. bud found the 27 foot poles... so the veterans project is "A GO "
