APRIL 19 2020
JUGGLING--  PERFECT THING FOR KIDS of all ages...TO LEARN TO DO DURING THIS  COV BIT  -
- ROLL A COUPLE PAIR OF SOX INTO A BALL, AND YOU HAVE ALL THE EQUPMENT YOU NEED.. BY THE TIME YOU DROP THEM 64 TIMES AND HAVE TO FETCH THEM FROM UNDER THE COUCH YOU WILL HAVE EXERCISE TOO.  ALL LEVELS... BEGINNERS TOSS ONE FROM HQAND TO HAND... IF YOU CAN ADD A SECOND ONE , YOU ARE ON YOUR WAY TO THE TRADITIONAL THREE.  BUT IT DOES NOT STOP THERE... 4 OR 5... GO FOR IT..  COOPERATION... GO  back to two between 2 kids...and get to 5 between 2 kids.-- by the time we get thru this we will have a bunch of  entertainment... none the worse for weAR.

WHAT  A STUPID WASTE OF TIME...?  LIKE SITTING AROUND DOING NOTHING IS BETTER????  THIS IS A CONCEPT I DEMANDED OF MY CHILDREN ... IT SOUNDS LIKE I WAS TREMEDOUSLU ORGANIZED... NOT TRUE... I MUST HAVE NEEDED SOMETHING TO KEEP 2 KIDS OUT OF MY HAIR AND HAD THAT BRAINSTORM.. I NEVER REALIZED THE FUTURE RAMMIFICATIONS  TIL YESTERDAY...

I SOMETIMES TALK TO MY ELDEST DAUGHTER ABOUT 5AM...BECAUSE SHE GETS UP EARLY TOO....   YESSTERDAY SHE AND HER HUSBAND WERE GOING TO THIER "SECOND HOME"  FOR VARIETY'S SAKE....  THAT BEING THEIR RV WHICH IS PARKED IN THE YARD.  IN TALKING ABOUT HOW FORTUNATE SHE WAS TO HAVE A JOB  ANd WHY THAT WAS TRUE,  IS THAT IN HER "INDUSTRIAL/ BUSINESS CARIEER" SHE HAD ON OCASSION --WHEN THE GOING WAS SLOW- TO  USE THAT TIME TO LEARN SOMETHING  NEW..  SOME NEW COMPUTER SKILLS, OR SYSTEM OR FUNCTION. what some other employee did... .. SOME SENSABLE SOME SENSELESS... AND SHE NOW FINDS SHE IS THE ONLY ONE IN HER OFFICE WITH SOME STRANGE SKILL THAT SHE LEARNED WHEN SHE HAD NOTHNG ELSE TO DO.

NOT TOTALLY UNLIKE ME AND ROPE SPLICING... AND HOW SP;ICING SOME  SHAGGY ROPE IN AN OTHERWISE BEAUTIFUL  HORSE STABLE AS I STOOD AROUND WITH NOTHING TO DO...., LEAD TO TEH $7500 DONATION  WHICH WAS A "VOTE OF CONFIDENCE" WHICH GOT SERVICE DOG PROJECT GOING. 

SO BACK TO THE MOTOVATION TO SUCCEED-- THIS IS A PROBLEM IF SUCCESS  ITSELF IS NOT ENOUGH..... ESPECIALLY IN KIDS TO WHOM SUCCESS AT ANYTHING  HAS BEEN ELUSIVE...   THERE MAY BE A FEW CHILDREN WHO MAY NEED ENCOURAGEMENGT WITH A PARENT CRAWLING AROUND THE FLOOR LOOKING FOR SOX TOO...  SO BE IT.  JOIN THE FUN ! 

I WILL STICK  MY NECK OUT... TO DAWN   #1 TEACHER  OF KIDS AT  OF STEDMAN SCHOOL  MAYBE IN ?COLORADO?   IS THERE ANYTHING I CAN DO  TO GET YOUR KIDS JUGGLING????--  OR ANYONE ELSE....   LIKE CLIPS TO PLAY AT MAIL CALL???? OR SOMETHING????

MEANWHILE JANINE IS TRYING TO PUT TOGETHER AN NURSING HOME PARADE OF ANIMALS== LORD KNOWS WE HAVE SOME ---- THIS WOUOLD BE TO ARRIVE WITH A TRAILER LOAD.. TO BE handed  TO PEOPLE WHO HAVE ARRICVED ONE  PERSON TO A CAR-- AND THEN WALK AROIUND THE OUTSIDE OF THE NURSING HOME . AND GET BACKI ON THE TRAILERS AND GO TO ANOTHER..--  FOR TH e ORDINARY PERSON THAT IS AN IMPOSSIBLE CHORE.. TO JANINE WITH GOOD TRUCK ... GOOD TRAILER. SCHLEPING ANIMALS ALL OVER 1/2 THE COUNTRY IS  NEARLY AN EVERY DAY OCCURANCE.   DONKEYS, MINI HORSES ,, GOATS.. DANES AND THAT "BOY COW"  ELVIS TEH ZEBU.   it would be second nature.
  USTA'BE  TOWNS WOULD PAY ME $1000  AN AFTERNOON TO SET UP THAT STUFF  AT "HOMECOMINGS" OR THE LIKE.  CHOWDERFEST, HARBORFEST, RIVERFEST.. WE DID THEM ALL-- SO THERE IS NO ONE MORE QUALIFIED-- AND IT IS SOMETHING TO DO.
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED IS WE NEED TO FIND HOMES WHERE THE RESIDENTS COULD LOOK OUT TH E WINDOWS...  JUDY IS WORKING ON IT.
-----
CHORTLE OF THE DAY....   SOMETIME TEH BACKGROUND OF THESE THINGS WAS IN ITSELF ENTERTAINING... 
I REMEMBER....... REX TRAILER.. TEH PERSONIFICATION OF THE WORD "GENTLEMAN"  DID MANY PARADES AROUND BOSTON... HE WAS BOSTON'S ROY ROGERS AND HAD A HUGE TV SHOW   LONG AGO.  WELL HE AGED TO THE POINT OF NO  LONGER HAVING HIS OWN HORSE "GOLDRUSH" - SO HE WOULD BORROW A PALOMINO I HAD.. AND I  OFTEN SENT A DONKEY TO WALK BEHIND "GOLDRUSH" WHICH ADDED AN ELEMENT WITHOUT MUCH TROUBLE. ONE 4TH OF JULY REX HAD 2 PARADES SCHEDULED.. NATICK AND WAKEFIELD...  I DID NOT GO ... JANINE DID ... WITH A FEW OF HER COLLEGE FRIENDS.. IT WAS PRETTY ROUTINE...-- SHE CAME HOME FROM NATICK IN A GREAT TIZZY... REX HAD NOT FQLLEN OFF GOLDRUSH, BUT REX's BALANCE HAD DETERIATED TO THE POINT THAT HE DID NOT SIT UPRIGHT AT ALL... AND SO JANINE HAD TO HANG ON TO HIM BY THE  ANKLE TO KEEP HIM IN THE SADDLE AS HE WAVED TO THE CROWDS..... LITTLE DID THEY KNOW.
----
so on to teh  STAFF schedule-- i spent time  organizing skills, cov,,, commute time,, nearly full time..... number of people  on the 12 acres aqnd where they could be. and of course... teh cameras....... THIS SCHEDULE WILL BE IN EFFECT UNTIL WE HAVE TO CHANGE TI FOR SOME OTHR REASON...  WHICH WILL HAPPEN REGULARLY--- I AM SURE.

so starting monday...  i think you may find your schedule is about what it had been with the exception of the trainers which megan  has organized and   will rotate and care for qa small bunch  of dogs in the barn/ puppy hill area,  basically teh toto and disney litters which she feels coudl usea bit of direction. 
so around that, i have scheduoled teh "office"  bunch    linda, donna---- aNd then eh "upkeep" bunch -  PAM  shanna haley aND DENIS WITH SOME DIRECTION OF THE BEAUTIFICATION DEPT ... GRACE

NOW WHO IS ALLOWED WHERE???? A BIG ISSUE  OF COIURSE
TEH HOUSE WILL BE MINE... AND DENIS, LINDA AND DONNA  ---- ANYONE NEEDING TO TALK TO LINDA-- SHE HAS AN AVAIOABLE WINBDOW NEAR THE DEAGLE HOURS
BANG ON\THAT ---- MY WINDOW IS TH ONE BEHIND THE WOODPLILE- OR IN MY CAR WANDERING.

THE TRAINING ROOM IS FOR  DENIS- NO ONE IS TO GO THERE.
 THE GUEST HOUSE IS AT THE MOMENT  UN OCCUPIED-- NOT OT BE ENTERED...
 AND PAM GETS TEH CHALLANGE... IF SHE DOES NOT WANT TO COMMUTE, SHE IS WELCOME TO THE NORTH END OF THE ICU HOUSE AS HER PRIVITE AREA.. THER EIS A BED, ROOM FOR HER 3 DOGS,  HEAT LIGHT AND WATER... SOME EEVEN WARM... AND A COFFEE MAKER... I THINK.

TEH COMMUNAL AREAS--- ALL MUST MAINTAIN AT LEAST 10'  SPACING AND WILL HAVE THINGS LIKE CHOLROX AND GLOVES 
THE T TENT  WITH IT'S TABLES  REFRIGERATOR AND MICROWAVE, AND STOVE   ETC....
THE REST ROOM IS IN THE  LAUNDRY BUILDING . WHICH IS HEATED  
 TEH WELCOMME TENT ( AKA SMOKERS TENT) IS A SHAMBLES-- 
MAIL DROP OFF AND PICK UP "SHEDS" 
THE YELLOW TOOL SHED... 
PARKING PIT 
 THE GENERIC NOTICE BOARD SHOULD BE IN THE T TENT AND EVERYONE SHOULD BE AWARE OF WHAT IS ON IT... JUST AS EVERYONE SHOLD BE AWARE OF WHAT IS AAT THE BOTTOM OF THE DAIOLY DOGGEI.

YOUR JOBS WILL HAVE REPOSITIONED FOR THE MOMENT-- I HAVE STRUGGLED TO GIVE YOU  NEARLY  THE  FULL TIME HOURS YOU HAD BEFORE.
MEGAN WILL DEFINE EH DOGS  WITH THE ONE EXCEPTION , I  WILL NEED TO HAVE  DEVIN SPEND A FEW MINUTES   OFF SITE WITH HENRY,,, HE IS HAVING A WONDERFULL TIME.... AND I WOULD RATHER WE NOT BRING HIM BACK HERE FOR THE MOMENT...

SO WHAT WILL THE REST DO?   IF THERE  SEEMS TO BE NOTHING PRESSING TO DO...  THE UPKEEP BUNCH   SHANNA  AND HALEY ( SOMETIMES PAM....)CAN WORK DOWN THRU TH E 2 LISSTS I HAVE SO FAR PRODUCED...  VINES INTEH DRIVEW ... WASH TEH SIGN ON THE ROAD... MOST OF THIS STUFF WILL BE OUTSIDE.. SO YOU SHOUOLD COME PREPARED TO BE OUTSIDE. AND THE GLOVES YOU WILL NEED TO ROLL ROCKS AROUDN CAN BE FOUND INT HE BACK IOF THE PURPLE MAIL SHED.

TO GET IN OUT OF THE COLD... IT WOULD BE THE LAUNDRUY BUILDING... AT WHICH TIME YOU COULD ORGANIZE THAT... IN OTHER WORDS.. THERE  IS PLENTY TO DO...  SOME REQUIRING  CONSIDERABLE THOUGHT AND PREPARATION.. CHECK WITH  ME IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS.. WE OUGHT TO COME OUT OF THIS ABSOLUTELY ORGANIZED AND BEAUTIFUL-- WITH NOTHING HUNG TOGETHER WITH  HAY STRING?????

THERE ARE VOLUNTEERS COMING AND GOING--,NOT MANY... BUT THEY ARE WELCOME TO COME AND ... WORK THRU THE LIST  OF STUFF WHILE STAYING  MORE THN 10' APART.  PAM SHOULD KEP HER EYE ON THAT PART.
