WHERE TO START....???
LYDIA -- SAFE--- THE BIGGEST COMMENT BY ALL THE PURPLE SHIRTS TTHERE WAS THAT JAMACA PLAINS IS A WONDERFUL COMMUNITY -- MANY STORIES ABOUT FIREMEN ...BUS DRIVERS...JOGGERS .. CYCLISTS ALL LOOKING.. AND ALL STOPPING THE PURPLE SHIRTS TO ASK IF THEY HAD FOUND HER YET, 4 STOPPED IN A DUNKIN DONUTS AND WERE POOLING THEIR MONEY TO GET COFFEE-- AND THE WOMAN BEHIND KNEW WHO THEEY WER EAND BOUGHT THEM COFFEE AND DONUTS.
LYDIA FOUND HER WAY BACK TO JOANNE'S AND WAS FOUND NEXT TO HER CAR WIAITNG. MIND YOU THAT WAS ACROSS SEVERAL MAIN STREETS... BUT SHE MADE IT.
I WONDER IF ALL OUR STOPPING AT CURBS HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH HER SUCCESSFUL TRIP.
KATIE, SHEILA,LAURA,KELLY TRACY... AND A FEW CAMERA PEOPLE LED THE CHASE.
APPAERNTLY WHAT HAPPENED WAS WHEN JOANNE WAS CHANGING HER COLLAR, ANOTHER DOG RAN UP AND CAUSED LYDIA TO BOLT-- THEN ONCE RUNNING SHE GOT CONFUSED.
I EXPECTED A FRAZZLED LYDIA. BUT SHE IS AS COOL AS A CUCUMBER NOT REALIZING THE UPROAR SHE CAUSED.
EXPERIENCE COMES FROM BAD EXPERIENCE... WE LEARN.

GE WAS HERE IN FORCE - ABOUT 20 OF THEM-- GOT AMAZING THINGS DONE... THE BACK OF THE BARN IS PAINTED.. THE FRONT IS BEAUTIFUL WITH NEW TRIM PAINT OF A PALE YELLOW- THE MEAT SHACK IS A STRANGE GEEEN THAT I THOUGHT MATCHED THE LAUNDRY BUILDING BUT IS NOT EVEN CLOSE..
HAVING ONLY PURPLE PAINT IN ADDITION OT GREEN, THE TRIM IS PURPLE--
WE LOOK A LITTLE LIKE DISNEY WORLD---
EVEN THE FIRE HYDRANT GOT A NEW COAT OF PURPLE AND YELLOW.
AND-- "A" PASTURE GOT FENCED IN TO EXCLUDE THE MUDDY STREAM.... THERE IS NOW A SMALLER "RUN" CONNECTED TO BOTHTHE DEAGLE HOUSE AND HTE NUTT HOUSE... WHILE THE AREA BETWEEN CAN BE OPEN TO THE FRONT DOOR SO HOPEFULLY DOGS CAN GO A BIT FURTHER FROM THE HOUSE... AN ON A STEEP HILL IT SHOULD WASH DOWN
WE HAVE NEW GATES-- COLOR CODED-- SO IT IS POSSIBLE TO LET DOGS INTO THE MUDDY STREAM IF WE WANT TO -- IT IS ABOUT 2 OR 3 ACRES BUT THEY COME BACK SUCH A MESS.
MARK COOKED-- THANK HEAVENS-- HE MAKES A MEAN HAMBURGER--- THERE ARE SOME STILL IN THE FRIDGE IN THE T TENT.
****************
SINCE I AM TH E ONLY TRAINER ON BOARD TODAY, I HAVE TO GET BETH OUT EARLY AND COME BACK AND GET JOANNE...
