 DD 10 20

I am embarrassed I get so distracted that I did not have the apple cookies to give those donkeys a big thank you for behaving so perfectly in the daycare center with that 91  kids—

 

I am even more embarrassed about not giving Cloud.. a proper thank you for all that she does..   and how much I rely on all her information as far better than anything else we've managed to amass ourselves.. her work over the years is incredible she does not miss a thing... fortunately..  I am totally delighted to have her continue and I want her to know that she certainly gets a Gold Star the middle of her forehead for her constant attention to detail..   she is far better than I could do.....

 

With just a little bit of organization on Judy and my part I bet she could keep track of how many people we see on a weekly basis at these day care centers .. I know Judy and I come out of a place and count  how many people were there   and we carefully count them all---  well by the time we've stopped for coffee and gone home we can't remember so if I start being a little more careful I'll bet you cloud will pick it up and keep a running total for us..

there is just too much-- for me to handle-- and I need the help and accuracy which Cloud so willingly provides.

I know in the past four days we've  seen 215 people..  and three of those four days were with dogs and donkeys.

 

So I hope all of you people who are supporting us are getting your money's worth for every $10 donation..  You want details I'll give you details—off our scribbles on the calendar---it was a busy week...

 

The big expense which enabled us to start with the donkeys/ was to replace the hitch on the trailer.. $376. At the trailer place in danvers...
 we then entertained......

40 people at Rainbow- Peabody...

we then went to Dutton day care - Wakefield--- dogs and donkeys and saw 35  people.. and somebody handed us $30 cash donation...

Judy Carly and I then went to the gingerbread house for coffee and muffins for $27. 

Then to NEC day care  Danvers. 91  kids and staff (donkeys got no apple treats and should have)

Yesterday- Thursday,, Katzman nursing home Chelsea. 49 ( no donkeys)

I filled gas twice. $111.  And I didn’t go anywhere else- just  home to nap... it is tiring !!(? a bottle of tylenol)

$20 cash for carlie-s truck to NEC  ( extra person ( Janine) didn’t fit  my car with with 5 dogs. ( dog "carl "( also lachey's brother....) went too...)  

Judy and Carly  do a lot of volunteering.....both worked about an hour before and after to get ready and put away stuff  for each “job” which is really an expense of the goldys visiting project...+/- $500

What does that make it ????  
215 people smiling/laughing..... this week ( that is high ! probably not every week...) 
 $376 a one time ?capital expense... and $631  running-- noted so far....

I also remember--- jimineys rabies shot--- ivermedtin( wormer)  purina dog food( remember I do not get any SDP food...)... one bath towel I cut up ( and used  in the donkey poo episode) so threw it away – copy paper—staples exp. Etc......

There are a lot of  “petty cash” that is not so petty over the big turn of the wheel....

Somehow in the back of my head.... if we can at the moment count on $6000 a month from the 600 numbers  on the  henny penny board  that will give us a few pennies to think of things like bringing birds in some weird cage.....  or a goat in a diaper....maybe???  we are sooooo good at out of the box ideas....

i am betting you all can keep that  goal--- we are well on our way this month - and half the time you have not known what our real name is... with computer &  paperwork cleaned up ... i am hoping 600  is a reasonable number  to go for... so have at it !!
of course if the odd million  $$$ should come along, we will use it wisely....

wanda workin hard !!
