THE BOARD MEETING... WONDERFUL OLD HOUSE 1640 ALL CROOKED FLOORS- EVEN BEFORE WE HAD ANY DRINKS... FOOD GREAT.. IT WAS A BIT OF A SHOCK TO HAVE A SIMPLE HAPPY IDEA OF MINE DEEMED A TOTAL DISASTER= BUT I GU4SS THAT IS WHY WE HAVE A BOARD SO MO4E PEOPLE CAN THINK THINGS OF-=VER..
LARGE DISCUSSION ABOUT HOW THAT WILD WEEKEND DONATING PARTY HAS LOOSENED UP SOME OF OUR "RAMBLINGS" OF A FINANCIAL NATURE....FIRSTLY ---A NEARLY FULL TIME "JUNIOR BUD" TO LIFT , CARRY, HAMMER ... AND SHOVEL IS A HUGE HELP.
++++
LOTTA TIME SPENT ON THE ROAD SHOW. AND AGAIN WE HAVE 2 ADULT DAY CARES TO GO TO THIS MORNING...
DOESN'T SOUND LIKE MUCH--- BUT THE DETAILS-- LIKE FEED BENTLEY AND SIZZLE EARLY SO THIER BOWELS GET MOVING BEFORE WE LEAVE--- AND YOU THOUGHT BEING PERFECTLY TRAINED WS THE BIG PART??? I WOULD LOVE TO TAKE A THIRD DOG.. BUT WE DON'T HQVE ENOUGH PERFRECTLY TRAINED... YET... AND I CAN NOT KEEP MY EYE ON 3 RUNNING AROUND A BUNCH OF WHEELCHAIRS, I FIND THAT BETWEEN POSSIBLY GETTING A HARNESS HOOKED ON A WHEELCHAIR... AND THE TENDANCY OF AN ALTZHEIMER PATIENT TO GRAB A COLLAR AND PULL UNEXPECTEDLY., MY DOGS DO BETTER STRIPPED .AND THEY ARE ALWAYS THE ONLY DOGS IN THE PLACE AT THE TIME.
LOWEL MASS IS WHERE WE HAVE TO GO.
I CAN'T SAY LOWELL WITHOUT TELLING THE STORY OF MY MAGAZINE JOB.
THE WANT ADvertiser CAME OUT EVERY WEEK-- AND I HAD 16 ROUTES AND 16 DELIVERY PEOPLE... EXCEPT-- SOMETIMES-- LIKE IN A REALLY BAD SNOWSTORM WHEN IF POSSIBLE , I HAD TO GO FILL IN TEH 20 TO 40 STORES ON ANY ROUTE. ON THIS DAY IN QUESTION -- I WAS IN LOWELL== NO SCHOOLS SO EVERY VARIETY STORE WAS FULL OF KIDS--- AND AT THIS ONE STORE THERE WERE 4 KIDS AHEAD OF ME IN LINE AS I WAITED FOR THE GUY TO PAY MY SLIP... " I WANT THE PINK BUBBLE GUM...NO NOT THAT OHE, THE ONE ON TOP." .ETC...ETC..ETC.. SO WHEN I GOT TO THE REGISTER, I SAID TO THE GUY" GEE YOU ARE AWFULLY NICE TO THESE KIDS" AND HE SAID....."WHY SHOULDN'T I BE...MAYBE 1/2 OF THEM ARE MINE".
MOVING ON.....
