CURRENCY?? TIME IS THE ONLY TRUE CURRENCY-- SOME REALLY BRIGHT PERSON TOLD ME THAT.. UNFORTUNATELY I CAN NOT GIVE PROPER CREDIT DUE TO INADEQUATE RAM.
SUNDAY BREAKFAST WILL BE... WHAT IS ON MY DESK.... DRIED CHERRIES, HONEY MUSTARD BROKEN BAGEL PIECES AND COFFEE--- WITH CAFFEEN. SO THERE, (SNYDERS HONEY MUSTARD BROKEN BAGELS ARE ADDICTIVE)--SO FAR ALL THE DRIED CHERRIES ARE EATABLE ONLY BECAUSE THE FIRST PACKET I AM EATING HAVE SOME SUGAR... THE NEXT 2 ARE ONLY CHERRIES THIS MAY SLOW UP MY CONSUMPTION...
I PLAYED HOOKEY YESTERDDAY WITH SIZZLE-- I STARTED TO GO BUY FOOD FOR SUPPER-- SINCE UNHOOKING THE TRAILER WAS TOO MUCH EFFORT, ... I JUST DROVE OFF WITH THE THING BACK THERE... WHICH MADE U TURNS IN PARKING LOTS VERY EXCEITING FOR ALL ---SPECTATORS INCLUDED...... MY CAR DOES HAVVE ONE OF THOSE BACK UP CAMERAS WHICH CAN NOT BE VIEWED IN SUNLIGHT... IT IS ALSO TOTALLY USELESS WHEN YOU HAVE ANOTHER 16 FEET OF TRAILER BEHIND YOU.
ALL WELL AND GOOD TIL I PASSED MY FIRST SATURDAY YARD SALE....AND REALIZED I COULD PICK UP 6 OR 7 FULL SOFA'S IN THAT TRAILER...WHICH WOULD PLEASE MEGAN... SHE COLLECTS SOFAS- WHICH IS WHY TEH LAUNDRY AND T-TENT ARE FULL OF THEM... I WAS DOING PRETTY WELL TIL I RN INTO AN OLD FRIEND WHO KNOWS ME WELL....SHE ASKED "ARE YOU BUYING OR DELIVERING?" IN THE 3 SALES I STOPPED AT, I COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING EXCITIGN THAT I DIDN''T ALREADY OWN... WHETHER OR NOT I COULD LOCATE IT AT CRAZY ACRES IT WAS ANOTHER PROBLEM...
THE TOWN HAS SOME RULE ABOUT ONE PIECE OF FURNATURE TO BE IN THE TRASH A MONTH -- I WONDER WHAT TEH TRASH PEOPLE THINK AS WE RARELY DON'T HAVE A CHEWED UP SOFA IN THE TRASH.-- DANES ARE VERY GOOD AT "DISTRESSING " FURNATURE.. BLESS WHOEVER DECIDED DISTRESSED WAS FASHIONABLE... WE CERTAINLY ARE THAT.
I DID MANAGE TO CCOME HOME WITH 2 MORE OFFICIAL PIPE GATES-- WHICH COMPLETE TEH SMALL "TURN OUT" OF TEH BIRTHING STALL IN PREP FOR THE POSSIBLE ARRIVAL OF JANINE AND HER GROUP OF DONKS WHICH INCLUDE ONE "ABOUT TO POP" WHICH -- BEING A NEW RESCUE IS ANYONE'S GUESS-- AND SINCE IT IW WILD, NO ONE WANTS TO "GET OUT AND GET UNDER" TO SEE IF TEHRE IS MILK DRIPPING. ---- WITH JANINE... IF YOU DON'T ALREADY KNOW, THINGS LIKE ARRIVAL TIMES ARE ALWAYS A CASE OF PROBABLILTY..
THE FACT THAT IT IS SUNDAY ... WHEN VISITORS BRING POT LUCK FOOD... INCREASES THE PROBBLILTY OF JANINE'S ARRIVAL.. SHE TAKES AFTER ME INTH COOKING DEPARTMENT.
I DO LIKE TO INCLUDE A FYI IF POSSIBLE--- AND SINCE I AM RUNNING LOW ON INFORMATION OF RELEVANCE TO ANYTHING AT ALL..... I CAN HAVE ANOTHER GO AT BACKING UP A TRAILER.. PUT YOUR HAND AT THE BOTTOM OF THE STEERING WHEEL-- THE TRAILER WILL TURN IN THE DIRECTION OF YOUR HAND.-- THAT IS TEH SIMPLE FACT... THE OTHER FACTS ARE NOT QUITE THAT SIMPLE.... BUT...
. #1... YOU START IT TURNING AND THEN CHASE IT BACKWARDS
#2... AS YOUR PREPARE TO GO BACKWARDS, THE LAST 3 FEET OF GOING FORWARD YOU SHOULD THINK ABOUT THE POSITION OF THE CAR... THERE ARE TIMES WHEN THAT 3 FEET WILL SAVE YOU 20 FEET GOING BACKWARDS... CRITICAL IN SUPERMARKET PARKING LOTS....
#3. YOU MUST NOT APPROACH A 90 DEGREE ANGLE BECAUSE THAT WILL BEND AND BREAK ALOT OF HEAVY IRON OF THE HITCH ETC...
#4. I AM TOLD-- BY THEM AS KNOWS.... IF YOUR TRAILER HAS ONE OF THOSE BREAK AWAY CORDS TO APPLY THE TRAILER BRAKES IF TEH TRAILER BECOMES DETACHED..... IT MUST BE ATTACHED TO THE TOWING VEHICLE... AND NOT SNAPPED TO THE CHAINS... I AM TOLD POLICE ARE TICKETING FOR THAT NOW....
#5.... THESE TOW BEHIND TRAILERS FOLLOW PRETTY WELL IN THE TRACKS OF THE CAR... HOWEVER THOSE "5TH WHEEL" TRAILERS WHICH SIT IN THE BED OF THE PICKUP... REALLY REALLY CUT CORNERS-- BUT ARE EASIER IN TH E LONG RUN TO MANUPULATE AS YOU CAN DO MORE THAT 90 DEGREES...
#6 THERE ARE CORNERS AROUND WHICH YOU JUST CAN NOT TAKE A 5TH WHEEL TRAILER
I REMEMBER.....TRUE STORY... WHEN I WAS PRETTY NEW AT THE 50 FOOT LONG TRAILER, THERE WERE 3 WOMEN DRIVING A 50 FOOT HORSE TRAILER...CYRILLA THIBEAULT, ANN GETCHELL AND ME----- I WAS AT ANN GETCHELLS HOUSE- I HAD COME IN ONE DRIVEWAY TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE HORSE EVENT SHE WAS RUNNING... AND SHE TOLD ME I COULD GO OUT "THE BACK DRIVEWAY" A DIRT ROAD LOOKING DRIVEWAY.. -- SO I STARTED ALONG IT... AND GOT TO A RIGHT HAND TURN WITH A BRIDGE AND LARGE TREE... THERE WAS NO WAY THAT RIG COULD BEND AROUND THAT CORNER-- WHICH MEANT I HAD TO BACK UP ABOUT 1/2 MILE OF NARROW DIRT ROAD.... WHEN I GOT BACK TO THE BARNYARD.. SHE SAID -- AND I REMEMBER THIS TO THIS DAY... "OH .. YOU COULDN'T MAKE IT AROUND THE TURN... I COULDN'T EITHER BUT I WANTED TO SEE IF YOU COULD"
THERE IS A CYRILLA AND CARLENE STORY WITH TRAILERS TOO... IN BRINGING SOME HORSES AND PROPS IN TO BOSTON FOR THE KENNEDY AND FITZGERALD MOVIE WE FOLLOWED THE CREW DIRECTIONS CAREFULLY AND GOT OUR 2 LONG TRAILERS WOUND UP AROUND A SMALL TRAFFIC CIRCLE RIGHT IN FRONT OF MASS GENERAL HOSPITAL-- ADD IRATE CAB DRIVERS IN THE MORNING RUSH HOUR... AND WE HAD A PRETTY GOOD MESS THERE.

SO MUCH FOR THE SUNDAY DD

FROM KITTY
it's based my previous life as HR director when we considered all possibilities - I worked for years with a bunch of people who's go-to was "that's not fair." Dealing with dogs is so much easier.
*****
THIS IS AN EVERYDAY OCCURRENCE! WE ARE SO LUCKY WENDY CHOSE HUNTER AND THAT CARLENE AND SERVICE DOG PROJECT THOUGHT HUNTER WOULD BE A GOOD RECIPIENT, EVEN AT THE AGE OF 7. IN THEIR 4 YEARS TOGETHER, THEY HAVE BOTH GROWN, GOTTEN STRONGER, WITH THE CHANGES IN HUNTER BEING AMAZING.
HUNTER WANTED TO DO A FUNDRAISER TO HELP SDP, AND BOSTON CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL, WHERE HE'S RECEIVED GREAT CARE FOR HIS CP. HE SET A LOFTY GOAL OF SELLING 1000 BAGS. WE HAVE SOLD ALMOST 500 BAGS AND THINK THAT'S GREAT FOR HIS FIRST FUNDRAISER! WE HAVE A FEW BAGS LEFT AND WANT TO MAKE SURE WHO EVER WOULD LIKE ONE GETS THEIRS IF THEY HAVEN'T ALREADY. WE HAVE AROUND 15 BAGS LEFT AND WILL BE ENDING THE FUNDRAISE OCT. 31ST. WE WANT TO THANK YOU EACH AND EVERY PERSON WHO BOUGHT A BAG, MADE A DONATION, SPREAD THE WORD, AND HELPED MAKE THIS POSSIBLE, INCLUDING EMILY, HUNTER'S AUNT WHO MADE THE DESIGN, AND THE GRAPHICS COOP WHO PRINTED THE BAGS. IT TAKES A VILLAGE AND WE ARE SO THANKFUL FOR HUNTER & WENDY'S VILLAGE
