CARLENE,

I WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW THAT SERVICE DOG BELLOW PASSED AWAY ON 08/08.  HE LET US KNOW IT WAS TIME.  HIS NINTH BIRTHDAY WOULD HAVE BEEN THE FOLLOWING DAY.

I WANT TO EXPRESS MY SINCERE THAMK YOU FOR THINKING OUTSIDE OF THE BOX AND MAKING YOUR VISION FOR SDP COME TO FRUITION DESPITE THE CRITICISMS AND “KNOWLEDGE” OF OTHERS IN THE FIELD.   

ON 12/31/2017, I WAS OFFICIALLY MATCHED WITH BELLOW.  HE CAME INTO MY LIFE WHEN I NEEDED HIM MOST.  ON THAT DAY, I DIDN’T JUST GAIN MY PARTNER AND SENSE FREEDOM, I GAINED A LARGE EXTENDED FAMILY OF CPs, VOLUNTEERS, AND PEOPLE WHO WORKED AT SDP.  

FOREVER THANK YOU,

CATE KILLOUGH & SERVICE DOG BELLOW

i hate to hear any have passed away, but i have hundreds of dogs i worked with.  

(- and donated  either as service dogs   or as pets ( workng pets hopefully) ) 

 they are all getting to the age of “completed lifetime “  

 you give dogs a happy lifetime, and when it is over-- it is over-    you let them sleep

a tough call, but true....

 i am happy to hear that cate “gained a large extended family" of Camera People. -- that “family “ still exists today.

i send out this daily doggie with constaNT CONTACT BECAUSE AOL IS FUSSY ABOUT TOO BIG A GROUP OF ADDRESSES

IT GOES OUT TO 2500 ADDRESSES AND IS  OPENED AND  READ BY 1189 PEOPLE PRETTY REGULARLY.

 EVEN WITH MY BAD PERFORMANCE IN THE PAST MONTH. I AM. SHOCKED TO SEE HOW REGULAR THAT NUMBER IS

ACTUALLY THAT 1189  NUMBER GOES BACK 4 OR 5 YEARS.

 EVEN WITH THE NUMBER OFR CP’S WHO ARE RESTING IN PIECE SOMEWHERE... THERE SEEM TO BE A STEADY FLOW OF 

ONE OR TWO WEEKLY TO KEEP THE  TOTAL STEADY,

WE ARE A  SOLID BLOCK OF PEOPLE -- WHO KEEP THIS BUSINESS  OF BENEFITTING ANIMALS WHO THEN BENEFIT PEOPLE

YOU ALL KEEP US. ‘IN THE Hay”-- or in todays dilemma  DOG FOOD !--- i have barely enough for their  breakfast--- somehow i will

get some more by noon... the tractor supply is literally 3 miles away..

and then there is.... automatic  supply from chewey-- which i have avoided because i am afraid of those automatic things.

running along-- looking forward to dictaation - like maybe this week??????

 do i dare? geeks have assessed my coM,puter as OLD AND SICK     BUT FOR $405 THEY WILL COME NEXT WEEK AND MAKE IT OK TO USEE

 I WAS ALL SET TO DO A PROPER DD BUT IT WOULD LET ME TYPE ONLY ONE LINE- SOOOOOO.... REBOOTING. AND TRYING AGAIN

 FROM THE OVVERNIGHT NEWS I HAD 3 NOTES TO LOOK INTO BECAUSE I HEARD ONLY THE   “STAY TUNED "

1 A COLLEGE KID MADE $10.000. GETTING SNAKES OUT OF A CAR(

2  A HOMEOWNER HAD SOMEONE LIVING ON THEIR PROPERT FO WEEKS BEFORE THEY REALIZED IT... ??SDP?)

3 THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH HOME DEPO LADDERS-- AND  WE. HAVE ALOT OF HD STUFF= WE MUST HAVE A LADDER OF THEIRS.

I WATCHED FOR THED NEXT HOUR AND NEVER  HEARD ANY  DETAILS...OF THOSE.

 BUT HEARD THERE IS SOME CHEEZE ABOUT TO MAKE EVERYON SICK/

THOSE THINGS ALONG WITH THE FACT WE HAVE THA BIGGGG JOB WITH HUNDRED KIDS?? TODAY

JANINE MUST BE HOME BECAUSE WANDA IS MISSING FROM MY APPARTMENT..

I HAVE BEEN TOLD ALL SORTS OF THINGS I HAVE SAID????   - 

THA J UST ARE NOT TRUE-- SO IT MUST BE PARTIAL CONVERSATIONS 

TO SQUELCH THE LATEST---  I HAVE NO INTENTION OF QUITTING-- OR GETTING RID OF ANY ANIMALS 

I SO HOPE OUR VOLUNTEER BASE CONTINUES TO GROW SO SOMEONE CAN SPEND MORE TIME WITH THE ANIMALS 

WE NOW HAVE. SO THEY CAN GET TO GO PLACES  AND PLAY THE FRYING PAN GAME.

I DON’T KNOW HOW EATING TREATS OUT OF A FRY PAN COULD IN ANY WAYBE ANYTHING BUT FUN- 

I CERTAINLY DON;T SEE THAT AS ANYTHING BUT  FUN TREATS.

SIZE WISE-- WE COULD USE MORE/BIGGER TREAT EATERS BECAUSE IN THE BIG JOBS WITH LOTS OF KIDS

THE ONES WE NOW HAVE GET FULL...

I DON’T KNOW HOW THAT COULD BE CONSIDDERED A NEGATIVE STATEMENT- IT IS NOT INTENDED TO BE THAT

 if we do get a grant from bill cummings, i am sure it is due to linda’s tremendous record keeping...

he specifically was interested in things thqat benifited his territory-- eastern mass-- which is the peabody/danvers area thaqt we do cover.

Thursday (August 14) - No Visit

*****

Friday (August 15) - 10:00am  

Northeast ARC in Danvers

6 Southside Rd

Phon

she tells me i have today--- thursday-- off and tomorrow it is all those kids in danvers

oh now i can’t get rid of this typoish.... the geeks are due here on the 14th.... like  TODAY ! 

FIRST PROBLEM---  i better find my laundry from yeSTERDAY’S ACTIVITY-- OTHERWISE I HAVE NO BOTTOM PIECE OF CLOTHING-- LIKE ... PANTS

 I MENTIONED TO DONNA THAT I SHOULD TRY WALKING WITH LARKEY-- AND IF IT IS TOO HOT. WE COULD MEET AT THE AIR CONDITIONED  MALL

 EXCEPT----- LARKEY ATE MY NET BANDAGE COVERING AND THO IT DID COME OUT --- IN PIECES-- ONE ALWAYS WONDERS IF ALL CAME OUT.. ESPECIALLY BECAUSE LARKEY DID PRODUCE PROJECTILE   DIHARREA  

THAT ONE THING--- FASTER THQN ALL OTHERS   ----  WILL ELIMINATE ALL HIS VISITING N. URSING HOMES UNTIL HE PRODUCES RECOGNISEABLE LUMPS....

LONG AGO--- DEAGLE... MY VERY FIRSWT IMPORTED STUD DOG..  HAD THAT PROBLEM --- PROJECTILE.... HE WAS STANDING IN THE LIVING ROOM-- AND THE NOISE OF HIS “MOVEMENT-  MAD HIM TURN AROUND AND TRY AND FIGURE OUT WHAT ALL THE NOISE WAS ABOUT--  SO I ENDED UP 

 WITH A 360 DEGREE PROBLEM.... ALONG WITH RUG SHAMPOOERS....

JUDY COMES TODAY-- WE ARE GOING TO TRY AND GE ME SOME BROADWAY MUSIC ON ALEXA-- HOPEFULLY DONNA COMES TO TRY MY WALKING USING ONLY LARKEY---‘'

AND THE GEEEEEEKS SQUAD. 

LET US PRAY 

 rushingg along--- judy will be here first thimg snf hopefully i will get some walking help later with larkey

for all the times i said to someone 

 STAND UP STRAIGHT AND WALK NORMALLY it never occurred to me i would be in their shoes 

 yesterday when we had the 4 dogs at trask,, and we went to leave.  larkey slid right into position on my left and stayed with the position thru 4 doors and lumps of peopel..

 if he had a harness on. i don;t think i would haqve needed a walker.

that walker bends me almost double.

he has not had aqy practice staying with someone who gets shakey and needs support- but he seems to understaqnd the problem...\

 if donna and randy are here today, mayve we can give it a try..

we-- judy and 4 dogs--- noodles and the usual 3 --- both sizzle and larkey raN OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE BUILDING TO HAVE A LARGE  BM-

‘WOW... THEY WERE OUT BEFORE WE LEFT AND SHOULD HAVE TIMED IT DIFFERENTLY.. BUT JUDY HAD GIVEN THE BREAKFAST AT 7:45 

WHICH MEANT a BM at 11:00???    ok....must feed before 7am so the bm is before we leave for these “jobs”??? 

details...

janine is in carolinas and will be home tomorow --- i am told..... she carries alot of the weight around here.. 

so when she is gone there is a shuffle  of   strange cars arriving and leaqving ---to get everyone fed and watered.  

goldys farm is a complicated operation.. hopefully we can continue to pull ourselves together without going nuts...

 i will like to have more camera people come here for a day or two and help... that is always fun !

 currancy-- there is all kinds ofcurrancy-- but around here... bales of hay is a big for which there is no substitute.

close behind is a brass snap..  4 inches... brass -- and last night elizabeth came  in here  nearly in tears wanting 5 of them..

 i coule quickly locate 4 from my brass snap bank account which is in a blue bucket under the dog’s bed.

 i. have 3 blue 5  gallon  pails which  c ontain the most part of the monkey fist endeavour....

 misc brass.. rings and snaps... balls... from 1/2 inch marbles to  xx# bowling balls...then carefully labeled..”pieces of tope too short to use

which i am into constantly when someone wants me to show them h ow i wind off the ends..

  and every monkey fist i do produces  a short “leftover”

i should include “important but not  irreplaceable ..  on a farm would have to be a fly swatter.

to live in only one room does point out what needs to be pointed out the door...  we - not just me- but USA in general

 have too much “stuff”.   i have not even opened the door to building #25--

 I AM LIVING QUITE NICELY in this janine designed appartment of one room...( with one closet)

one of my issue soday is that the goats  have literaLLY STRIPPED PUPPY HILL OF ANYTHING

G REEN WHICH BRINGS ME BACK TTHE CURRENCY OF HAY

 

my potatoe stuffing was a success -- due mostlly to heather--

 heather is a retired bank employee... turned dog walkerand ocasionally a carlene driver...- and totally enjoying the dogs !

most of my real food comes from donna and randy-- lima beans and sweet potatoe are the speciality...

dogs? there is a need-- i am told bella has her first dog customer.. she has done a great job with training the pup i found for h3er

janine is off down the drive for a flight to the carolinas... rumor has it... for 4 days..

 i missed out on many of the details... being deaf is no fun !!

i had an email (. advertisement) from gumball-- i would love one of the old metal machines

 the one i have survived over 300 dane pups.. but it is tired... and the plastic ones do not work !

i will try attaching== this is a very old all metal one.

Baby steps! For us older folk just realizing we can't do it all at once, baby steps. Funny, we start and end our lives with baby steps!

Alice

Longtime CP

 dd 8 9

i wish i could copy in the weeks adventures from linda’s chart.  -- we saw 283 this week..

 long ago we said we’d do 100 a week... so we are there.  

stanley halloway did some great performaNCES-- THE ONE I KNEW WELL FROM EDINBURGH.. WAS ALBERT AND THE LION  I HAFVE BEEN KNOWN TO RECITE 84% AT A TIME

 HE ALSO DID A LOVELY ONE ABOUT  NOAH. WANTING SOME NICE BIRDS EYE MAPLE TO PANNEL THE SIDE OF HIS BUNK....

BECAUSE THIS NEW PERSON “BEN” IS REDOING A 38 FOOT BOAT IN OUR G TENT...  THAT POEM WAS SENT TO ME TWICE !

MY MENTAL WANDERINGS WENT FROM THAT TO... TOM LEHER.. AND COUNTING BACKWARDS FROM 10     HE HAD SOME GREAT SONGS.

 OF COURSE -- DONALD SWANN AND MICHAEL FLANDERS  DO A JOB ON THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE..

SOMETIME IF YOU HAVE ANY... ALL THOSE ARE AMUSING-- AT LEAST TO ME..EXCEPT MAYBE THE ONE ABOUT 3RD WORLD WAR BEING ONLY 20 MINUTESW LONG.

I’VE GOT TO GET BACK IN MY STRIDE.... EVEN IF I STILL NEED A WALKER.. SO I SET TODAYS GOAL IS TO MAKE A BAKED POTAtoe  stuffed with bacon and sour cream

doesn’t sound like much...  but start with, i will have to find a driver to get me to the market..i have a car... but  i think not driving is a better choice...

 dd 8 8

sliding back into normal dailies.. or at least trying to.

i thank the folk who came up with stanley halloway’s rendition of  three ha’penny’s a foot

there were several beautiful stanley renditions-- like albert and the lion-- ( which i must practice more often...)

today’s trip is rockport.   janine is loading the trailer as i sit and type.... it is called a day off  for me...-

we are apparently booked solidly for all of august..

we will try for a grant this fall... it could make a huge difference in our operation... lord knows the need is huge

every facility has a person in charge of entertainment-- it looks like the state may mandate this job to someone--- but what a lot of  overworked people, with no budget. they are suppopsed to fill all the days monthly-  that is why all the crayons and bingo cards.... 

i must admit,  i have heard whisperings lately about giving these facilities more leeway in ente4rtainment bt recognizing care-giving  is a job--- a very real job-- often a job someone inherits and does not willingly choose.    giving the job some recognition . of  financial benefit by the IRS-- i have heard whispers....

many thanks for the sell out--  our  fundraising field is anyone with either a mother or a father -- or both... that eventually will need... ask...  require your attention.. so my thanks to those who keep us going.. we are doing  a good job  filling a spot which should draw more attention than it currently does.. 

hmmmm. we try ! 

 aug 5

we are coming down the hom stretch  with  nailing down pinning up painting and praying.

as far as this @#$%^&*( computer... everyone tried-- and now it is  the GeeK squad;s turn-- the appt is aug     14 here at the house..

the 38 foot boat has landed perfectly in the 40 foot G Tent---now noah comments flloat around--- 

personally  i have mentally lined up pairs of animals for  a respectable showing for a N OAH picture,...

i am trying to contact  the lehardy tribe of relatives  because someone has sugested  more attention in the irs 1040 be given   to  caregivers

lord knows we are exposed to all sides

goats being our latest success story

 dd  8 5

GEEKS-- WE HAVE AN APPT ON 8/14 - HOPEFULY  THEY COME HERE

 IN THE MEANTIME......NEWS----

BENS BOAT IS NOW BACKED IN THE G TENT NOSE EXACTLY IN THE FRONT OF THE TENT LEAVES 2 FEET BEHIND... WHO WOULD HAVE EVER THOUGHT... THIS WILL GIVE AQ WHOLE NEW  POPULATION AND CONVERSATIONS..  NO LONGER WHO SWALLOED WHAT-- OR NEEDS  WORMING

NICK  HAS TAKEN OVER THE WORRY OF THE BABY DUCKS.. AND FAST GROWING  2 BOY GOATS.

I HAVE HAD VERY COMPLICATED THOUGHTS ON THE TOPIC OF “CARE GIVING”.  SINCE I AM NOW WELL FAMILIAR WITH BOTH SIDES THAt coin !!!

i am told the irs is approaching the topic...  about time they did !!

 aug 3

Aug 3  progress is being made.. in that we have exhausted all possibilities except the geek squad—which apparently works on Sundays...—judy tried.. Janine tried.. and now gwen has tried .. they apparently manage4d to ge4t the bill paid... but still the functions I need ( dictation and copy paste) are not “available to me”.when I try and dictate I get    “opps not now” our spectacular info is ben is moving in his 38 footboat into our 48 foot “g tent” Monday morn...  special hauling and permit times etc

 

 Hopefully the geek squad will get me operational by then.

some people said they did not got yesterdays DD.   well according to constant contact  

 1139 people opened the email--   and i would assume they then read it  and it was published on teh “goldys daily blog

so. to get on with another topic--- in the news-- vaccination--- a topic about which i do have a few details...

the most impressive is... the vaccination of baby chickens---- i went thru this don’t vaccinate and ordered25 baby chicks not vaccinated

\within 3 days i had 24 dead chicks an one not too healthy... a. fluke?? not scientific????  so i orde3rer from aq differentt hatchery

 and the only diferencde was   in 3 days they were all dead. so i have since paid the extra one dokllar to have them vaccinated  

since then all hve lived... \

that swaid to m..... if there was no vaccine there woulod be no kentucky frried chicken,, the entire3 diet of the country* 

AND IT’S DOGS) WOUULD BE XEVERELY ALTEREDE WITHOUT THE PROTIEN CHICKENS PROVIdE... 

we vaccinaate our qanimals for everything---  if it was useless someone would have discovered it by now...

and i have another bunch of monkey fitst to sen to dam

because i now have to painfully type this DD. it does shorten it..

 dcd hmmmmm

chasing internet  will drive me nuts  well alot will

current info

a big h ourse in topsfielf sold and the4 hew owwners are inot gardening not horses-- 

 and they have 3 stall full  of hourse equipment which was more thqn eliz c oulld stand

 so she is getting 3 stall at meridith r4eady to recieve the lot. --- that appeals to me also

wellthe geek squad has been hired to bale me out...  i can not wit to. see what they do----- for a monthly fee even 

also new rules for me-- i am not to try showering alone sincde nearwly head down

 in the showre after the cake of soap-- that and i. must not try and walk with9out a...... strong... partner

and today thy gave me double lasix  so guess what i will be doing all day,

 with the portable hose contraption--- i can be out on the golf cart !

 dd 5 7

i am sppooosed to be writingg all the e3job dexcripyopns--

???GOT THE OPROBLEM????  YOU ALL THOUGHT MY DICTQATIOB 2AW VQDLLLMJ5   TTIUBD  W 2I4W3

i amtrying but this will no longer let me dictate or do much of anything.

  i was ready with a long story about how i ended up owning “harveey”

 a buckskin quarterhorse i rode for years. and bought for 40.

 cents a pound 

 i bought most of our horses that way. ... it is why janine has had so much experienc 

she never had a “finished” horse.

long story   got to wait for dictation...

 dd 5 5 

 DD  5 4now i have the internet but can not dictate--- so we are back to typo’s in addition to misssspellings

i think i did the dd... but apparently it went to only a few 

... rest assured we are working nearly full time.. but the biig push is the insuraqnce-w

i had insurance to guard against the unf orsween expence of disasters..

 like a tree falling on the house and then when it does, they canceled my tyoical homeowners 

 so tha5 is my major concern tidayw

BUT THANK YOU'ALL FOR THE SELL OUT

JANINE TELLS ME THE NEW BOARD IF FUNCTIONING

HANG IN THERE

 Dd. 5 17

I did fall for Lowe's survey with a reward of a full set of tools for 9:49 shipping and I filled out all their details and my credit card and they came back with the fact my credit card has been used before to get tools and that is not true um so in other words this is just one more screw up I thought that 949 was a hell of a bargain for all those tools especially since my collection of Milwaukee with the red cases is missing I figured I'd get a new set with this bunch but they just said ohh no sorry etcetera which I I I I think I'll go to Lowe's I think that might be fun to stand down there and say I'm here for my tool set and see what happens it's one of those things where I have time and publicity there were a hell of a lot of tools for 9:49. I could use those umm. and me

 

I hope everyone will give some support to Dee. with her broken leg.. she has been very supportive of us for a long time so let's everyone cheer her on. Dada1970@windstream.net.

 

I don't know how it got to be Sunday so quick but I think that Randy will be here to work on the desk which we now have measured and it will fit where I do want to put it which is always a plus... and it's almost time to start moving the big stove pieces down to the apartment. This is gwen's last day she leaves tomorrow they have an offer in on a house in Glens Falls NY I think so they now own 2 houses also having not sold the other one yet Ron is a heck of a Carpenter well I'm sure their house in the Carolinas is absolutely beautiful...  but the problem now is Asheville has not quite put itself back together yet next..

 

Don't do that no no that's stupid. that is penny who has discovered that if you pull 1 Kleenex out-of-the-box another one kind of pops up so we've gone through a box of Kleenex now along with a roll of toilet paper what I should do is try and get the yuppie puppy out of building 25 and set that up for her to use there might be some conflict with larkey who also knows how to use it but I think I'm tired of entertaining penny when she could entertain herself with that gumball machine.

 

i dont know why  it shortened 

THIS MAY AS WELL BE THE DD. !!!--

I HAD TO LIST THE BUILDINGS FOR THE INSURANCE PEOPLE... SO HERE YOU HAVE IT !! 

Sat, May 17 at 5:08 AM

It would probably be helpful if you learn looked at the Google sky view of goldy farm-let  LET me take it building by building.

the house Boyne falls log home built in 1979 3 bedrooms 2 baths wonderfully accommodating to my dog project over the years.

there is a doghouse on either side of the main house---- the nuthouse as it's called was built on a slab I had tipping slightly so I could run water in one corner and have it run out the far corner.. the other dog house the deagle house was more normal both of them would accommodate 5 at least great Danes in  heated and air conditioned comfort I was always concerned about losing heat in the barn so I built those two as an emergency solution. With doors only 4’ tall they are DOG HOUSES- you can STAND UP STRAIGHT ONCE IN THEM...

the property is basically 2 lots #37 and #45 the house is on #37 as is the what we call the guesthouse which is a cabin with minimum accommodations 

then on to #45. the ice tea tent..  billT from a tree that was cut to accommodate the stable and I had a portable sawmill come and make lumber out of it which then was stacked and dried for a while before I nailed it together into this ice T10 which basically is a roof with no walls. it has electricity and a fireplace and picnic tables.  to that I attached what became called the G TENTwhich is a 30 by 40 area covered with hoops and white

covering. 

just past that we have the shipping containerwith a floor done in stainless steel you keep the rats out of dog food.  it now has many of the objects I had to store when I moved from the guesthouse to the laundry.

the laundry building had  that  laundry  in the first floor- we call the second floor of the training room which became an official apartment-not fancy just an apartment

the ICU building was built to accommodate the U.S. Department of agriculture when they began to make demands of people keeping dogs in a kennel situation they wanted no wood and everything's epoxied and washable so with difficulty that's what that building is 4 kennels add room for one office.

then the small yellow building is my tool shed..

then the barn WAs made-up 1979.  of the stable which is 35 feet by 75 feet  attached to the indoor arena which  was 60 by 100. and is now 60 by 80 feet.   the original indoor arena was 60 by 100 but that roof collapsed in some Blizzard 30+

 years ago and I replaced it with the metal and material instead of wood. Out the back door of the arena is what we call Tanners building.. which was basically just a project for some. kid who needed a project. 

structurally it leaves a lot to be desired but it serves the purpose as a run in shed.  It also contains one post of the original 60 by 100 wood structure so technically it was a remodeling.  

 

I have always allowed people to come on the property to enjoy the animals and even when I gave up actually training service dogs -  one of my dogs was  number one service dog of the country by the AKC in 2015 

We now take my dogs and several other animals to various nursing homes and daycare centers and I don't charge for it. last year 7999 people met my dogs and fed them treats.  

 

We now in 2025 go to 3 or 4 nursing homes a week and try and see 100 people a week. These places are crying for entertainment so far the general public is supporting us and our gas bill for the car and dog food for the dogs. Goldie's farm is a 501C3 charity. 

 

 I am now living in the only wheelchair accessible place on the property which is the bottom of the laundry building..  basically I have allowed people to live here to keep

 me warm dry fed and out of the nursing homes. 

So far so good.

 

After 40 plus years a moving onto into and around 37 boxford Rd. I may actually have landed in this one room apartment on the first floor and one room is really about all I can cope with I'm thoroughly enjoying it.  And I'm enjoying not having to worry about who was going to sand the icy steps.

 

However in the process there's 47 years of paraphernalia which is only slightly removed from my one room apartment like what's frequently called building 25 which is basically the size of like one car garage and it is filled to the door of 47 years  ohh paraphernalia yet to be dealt with;.

 

thankfully I do have help coping with my father's desk which has been sitting out in the weather for about a year Having been moved from the house to the cabin and then from the cabin to what is called the giraffe tent or G tent   turns out Randy. of Donna and Randy fame is an accomplished woodworker who had said he would start on that desk on 5 15 and by golly he did-- in the 40 plus years that I have been here with many volunteers helping move me in and around the place Donna and Randy are only the second couple I have seen who can work at a complicated project without bickering the first couple would be the couple from Ohio who helped put the pieces of the G tent together (where where eft--what what what what what what what what what what wow****dogs barking****

With heavy desk which was once my father's has now been shifted from the outside perimeter to a more centrally located project still in G10,,, but the desks drawers one of which don't forget contains Goldy Have been brought round and emptied into various plastic containers because they still contained what was in them when I was in three houses ago 

Hey mind your manners--to the dogs----

With a great deal of enthusiasm I asked Elizabeth to get me a large trash can thinking I was going to throw everything out but as I went through it piece by piece I barely covered the bottom of the trash can so I can see this is going to be a problem and I haven't even got to the big move which was from house to cabin in building 25 we're the only thing that's in there that I know of ohh my beautiful  cowboy boots. made by lukasey of Texas,

 

my 700 LB wood cooking stove is 1 move behind me it needs to be shifted from the cabin to my one room... and it will take up a good portion of my one room but it is a very interesting and useful piece of furniture even if I never hook it up to a chimney which I should be able to do but that next may get

nixed by the younger generation in the mean time there are all parts of it that can be used for storage and it is beautiful.

 

You know you are getting old when letters from Planned Parenthood pertain to estate planning

now that defines  getting old pretty well.
