APRIL 8 2019


I KNEW IT !!!  I NOTICED (?FINALLY?) THAT WE HAVE NO BIRDS IN THE BARN--- IT TOOK ME A WHILE-- BUT I KNEW THEY WERE GONE-- AND I WAS VERY WILLING TO BLAME IPSWICH FOR SPRAQYING OR SOMETHING....  NOW I GET A COMMENT FROM CATHY IN NAHANT...

Hi Carlene,
Thanks for allowing them a spot at CA.
BARN SWALLOWS...especially so helpful with mosquitoes, should be returning to this area, 
throughout the month of April...
According to Mass Audubon, no sightings in this area yet.
keep the Faith...
see April, May and June
journeynorth.org/tm/swallow/News.html   AND PUT THE HTTPS:// IN FRONT OF THAT  SINCE CONSTANT COMMENT WON'T LET ME DO THAT....
Cathy, Nahant

MEGAN LANDS TONIGHT-- AND WILL BE ANXIOUS TO GET HOME TO WALTER.. WHO IS NOT DOING WELL- SPIKE TEMP ETC...

IT IS THESE UNKNOWN CAUSES TYPE THINGS THAT ARE SO DIFFICULT- BOTH WALTER AND THE TRACTOR ... 
.** 
BUD AND SKIP AND A FEW OTHERS TOOK ALOT OF TEH TRACTOR APART TRYING TO LOCATE THE LOSS OF CURRENT..  BUD SAYS HE KNOWS ALOT MORE ABOUT TRACTORS NOW THAN HE DID BEFORE-- BUT STILL HAS NOT LOCATED TEH SOURCE OF THE PROBLWM...  
**
THE FACT THAT ALL THESE ADULT DAY CARE CENTERS HAVE A BIG BEAUTIFUL TV/MONITOR THING VERY PROMINAQNTLY PLACED INTHE "COMMON ROOM" AREAS MAY BE VERY IMPRESSIVE TO THE FOLK DROPPIN G OFF THIEIR RELATIVES FOR  DAY CARE---  SO FAR  ONLY ONE DAY CARE IN 50 HAS TEH CAPABILITY TO TURN THE  # $%^&*() THING ON. SO WE ARE NOT KEEPING TRACK OF THE MAKE AND MODEL--- TO SEE IF WE CAN'T FIND SOME SOLUTION TO GETTING SOMEONE TO SPONSOR TEH ENLIVENING OF THESE MONITORS.

I WILL HAVE TO TALK TO EXPLORE  TO SEE IF THERE IS ANY REASON THEY WOULD NOT LIKE TO HAVE THIER CAMERAS USED TO ENTERTAIN  "THE WAITING ROOM  CROWDS" , ALONG WITH THE DAY CARE BUNCH...  I WOULD THINK THEY WOULD  LOVE IT.... BUT THEN I AM NOT CHARLIE... SO I NEED TO CONTACT HIM... ???? COURTNEY?????  AFTER ALL IT IS COMMERCIAL FREE...

THAT IS A BIGT PROJECT ... TOO.
****Also, Last evening on our walk, a loose 30 lb. dog RAN out to us, tail up, hackles raised, 


and barking his fool head off.  I was unable to keep him away from Zena, who was 
on leash.  She stood at attention, tail DOWN, no hackles raised, and no wrinkled forehead.
The other dog came in slowly the last 12 inches, and pressed his nose against Zena’s nose.
I’ve never seen that before.  Then I was able to move him off at that point.  

I WAS IMPRESSED THAT ZENA SHOWED NO SIGNS OF AGGRESSION!!!

Just wanted to share that with you as well!   
Waiting to hear from Megan.

Dear Carlene, 
My mother passed away this morning after months of hospice. Between my illness and caring for my mother, it’s been a difficult few months. Each time I came to help my mother, she would ask, “Where’s the mutt?”
The “mutt” she was referring to was Jewel. She absolutely adored her. Sometimes, I thought she could care less about seeing me. It was all about seeing Jewel. So I wanted to let you know that not only do I adore Jewel and appreciate all that  she does for me but she also made the last few months of my mother’s life happier and more bearable. I will always be grateful for the joy that Jewel’s presence brought to her. My mother rarely smiled during this time but when she saw Jewel, she would light up. She would continuously tell me how good a girl Jewel was and how special she was.
So.. thank you to you and the Service Dog Project for my precious Jewel. She surely is a Jewel in every sense of the word.
Love,
Cynthia Taberner
