From fugen....ARE YOU GOING TO USE EXTRA FUNDS FROM HENNY PENNY BOARD, OR OTHER WAY? LET US KNOW , WE WILL BUY MORE BRICKS FOR HENNY PENNY IF HENNY PENNY EXTRA DONATIONS WILL BE USED FOR THE TIPI.
The HENNY UPDATE----. We need a posting of. “Every penny of the henny???” on the Welcome board of the fundraiser----
It will never be 100% CPA correct... but it will be close. And we are still in transition a bit.......so please hang in. there !!
You all seem to be doing great with the hay expense--- we use 8 to 10 bales a day—pretty close to $100 a day --- As of today $3411... in the hay department.... so $411 will spill over into the part of Goldy which covers the senior visits--- because so often the hay trips involve going to senior places in Newburyport, Salisbury and Amesbury—almost on the route of the . “HAY” trips. ....
And my big expense of that senior project is a new hitch on my “donkey trailer”- of all things.... I had it “serviced “ and washed... and now that hitch from 1993 is not functioning correctly ---- kind of critical--- plus I can’t tow it to the repair place- so I may have to get a lowbed trailer—we have 6 senior places now expecting hooved animals--- or something--- and all excited about more than dogs.. I need that trailer... I have animals.....
Even tho carly filled in with her “house chicken” on her shoulder at the NEC kids day care---70 kids seen that day ! I slept in the car... in the sun... with the dogs... not too difficult—and “enriched 70 children”
So back to the tipi (veteran) expenses--- we already have about $1800 in the tipi project designated fund..
Keep in mind tipi is not only the physical tipi, but all things associated with getting that project operational... I hear rumors of “level ground”. Which is beyond shoveling... meaning tractor... and sand? Things like that. I will certainly keep you informed... I consider the $10 donating public a sort of “board of directors”for all this... – I appreciate suggestions and read all the ones that are 25 words or less....( I read very slowly)
For those needing a “flow chart” ERN and SDP both have individual charity numbers and financial accounting..
Goldys farm (AKA Crazy Acres) is an official charity also which funds Seniors. Veterans, plus farm expenses...
Ok... how should I treat the expense of plowing snow- which benefits all of us... including my pizza delivery????
It ain’t easy--- and it is not worth hiring an expensive CPA to figure out what is debatable anyway.
OK.... now is Thursday--- rest up day..... a preparation day- because Friday 5am coffee with gwen--- morning shifting all our donkeys to meridith - about 4 miles away—with the only truck and trailer available == ford 350 and the big 3 horse slantload....big.. long... expensive – then afternoon produce a meal for 30 – location of eating , yet to be decided upon ?meridith? if so moving meal to a yet undisclosed location??? How about bagging and using the souixvie heater in a cooler to keep warm....– or really big pan of water....?
?Saturday? when you run an episode like this 12 mile donkey walking. You need to have zero assignment....as “floaters”. Someone who can do everything that can go “off”—number one floater will be Janine--- second Elizabeth--- but I probably come in about third floater with Rebecca to do the running...
So that is where we are ... AT...
Back to enjoying rest up day....
