I have 12 donkey lead ropes all ready for todays elizabeth donkey walking project....that pack burro race project is coming into it’s final plans.. none of which I understand at the moment... except with the topsfield fair running at the same time.. it seems wise to get away from all the streets that abut the fairgrounds... traffic for the fair has been known to be 5 miles long...
The process of moving both elizabeth and me Is getting more and more spectacular—both of us never throw away anything we can think of a use for,,and we are both creative thinkers..... my fascination came from my father who said never throw away anything metal. – so I remove hinges from door long past their usefulness. And consider keeping the screws--- tho I do toss those--- eliz collects bigger things- like pieces of houses.... and although my hinges could be considered piece of houses --- she has entire kitchens and things like wood for chair rail walls – to be honest , I don’t see the end of it for either of us yet....
And I had to go and buy a new toothbrush because mine is now in some box labeled 25 which is the “shed” I built to accommodate the meat chipping project from before purina days...
Apparently osha legislates the space between fingers and the slicing blade for roast beef sandwich places- so there is a considerable lump of roast beef left—which we used to chip with a leaf chipper for the dogs
Perfectly Good beef—we had been known to make into stew- on occasion... that was long ago.. and we lived...
In moving ... I am enjoying the GAMMA LIDS I bought several years ago—marvelous plastic lids that snap onto those 5 gallon buckets that are all over... with a twist top—they are super !—and I paid $6 for them long ago—well they are now $12---if $6 I would gladly buy 10 to help with this moving project... perfect storage—handy – so I went looking and found some for $6.20- and was all ready to give it my credit card when in fine print came the shipping and handling which was more than the cost of the lids... unless I wanted to pick them up in the store... where? Ohio--- so if anyone lives near menards in ohio.. lucky you....go buy yourself some----.
Moving--- literally !! and almost enjoying it !
