 apparently facebook is at it again..rumors of my demise are premature.... .lynn is doing a mind boggling job-- but other than a boggled mind, i am ok...well... i am not sure about my yearly  birthday stilt walk with my children.....-- i may have to skip it this year due to a tricky sort of right knee...  it might not hold me getting off the stilts... it is not happy going down stairs.... same action... 

 there are alot of jobs i could use some help with--  like a study of dog parks... the good and the bad,,, also which towns have them-- and what facilities...small dog pens?  fence height??   like benches for sitting.   .... to agility  jumps etc.......  ipswich does not h ave. any-- they try and tallk about  the forest-- which. we do have... but fact remains there is no substitute for a fenced in  place for dogs... and as i have noted... dogs are a big part of a family. and  dog owners pay taxes too...some parks i have looked at around here give a chart of the busiest times...  like 7 am and 6 pm...

there is a lovely field adjacient to ipswich town hall.. would be perfect--- i have never seen anyone set foot on it except to cut the grass.... yet  i guarentee if i mention a dog park there  there will be a  frantic discussion of poo picking.... and sniffing.... which i think the dog world has a pretty good handle on.

having a leash law- condemning all dogs to be deprived of a chance to stretch out  should be condemned by people concerned with animal welfare..  in the little checking i have done-- most every town between ipswich and boston have proper   fenced dog parks....and people are very proud of them.   and in. one case it provides entertainment for a group at a  senior day care.

that is a great project.... have at it guys

re help with saving elect....,

I need all the help we can get....... and i appreciate it...i got this one.....

 someone in our kitchen. left the refrigerator door open for 6 minutes while she worked on the counter...  
yup... thanks for watching....

and i need more pictures....
