 dec 6 2022


 I had a brilliant idea for a daily doggie this morning but as I sat in my chair with the back perpendicular to the seat I was so excited I forgot the topic that's because   It's working beautifully

 

the gastronomic report of the day

Janine bought me a piece of pie last night---spinach pie--it's green and slippery and I have to admit I don't think I've ever swallowed a piece of cooked spinach -----I'll eat it raw but not cooked.. and she stood there with her best mommy attitude “ just take a little bite it's good for you” And forced me to put a tiny bit on the end of my tongue..., after which I had trouble talking and she finally said “if I turn my back you're going to spit that out aren't you”  sounds like something I would have said to her 50 odd years ago and it was absolutely true I I can't do green slimy and I have never bitten into a tamato

Although she forced on me a vegetarian chili which really was very good if  didn't pay attention to what was in it which was not only tomatoes which I did manage to eat but fake fake hamburger.. I've run into fake hamburger before

 

So store bought veggie chilli gets good marks— mainly because the fake hamberger is.. almost real te TEXTURErextu

Lesson there  you may not speak and type and dictate.  a spelling correction and say the letters at the same time.

 

Now w/r/t what was formerly known as “the guest house”  will now be called Janine’s home  -- this will maybe discourage anyone from going in and helping themselves to a cuppa coffee and leaving the cups in the sink. ----  we have 11 other buildings and a teepee....--- somehow we should be able to make due with minimal disruptions of her  home .

it is her only home at the moment.. plus her office ( she does have a demanding  computer type job at home(-- along with feeding 20 odd animals   at meridith and trying to stuff healthy foods down her aging mother.) Her presence there is critical  to me.......as sdp morphs down to  no overnight help she is “covering” 3 nights  plus food. – you will see  people come and go overnight—on my  payroll... I am not helpless- but an extra set of younger legs make life so much easier. Especially for the  midnight snacking. ( see store bought  chili above ). Judy keeps me going straight  daytime... a few days a week...  it all works--- and we entertain over 100 people a week in the  senior places....i could not do it alone... neither could judy .. so we are a team.

 

one other improvement....  if you are coming in the house... please announce yourself—loudly---otherwise when the dogs bark, I don’t know if I need to get up ( out of my wonderful recli=ner chair...).and remind the dogs  to get on the sofa

 

mark—also gets up at 4:00--- we have alread y discussed the fact that I need to drop off my car in saugus.... to get teh snow plow put on it before 8:30 –and somehow get back to unload teh purina food..

 

next wierdo....  the purina food comes wiothj pallet size cardboard. – a lot of it...

 well back when I was designing the kennels, I found that building  full size kennels was a huge lesson in desiging the most functional—so I am suggesting lynn get the duct tape and put  together a cardboard version before any money gets spent..

\

 And betty--- down there on the cape.... you wouldn’t have any of the pictures of me/you/ and brownie. With all teh cardboard and duct tape????

That waws during teh time when every night I would partially empty the dumpster at partridgeberry place of useable 2x4’s. they approved because it was less for them to pay to get rid of.—and their carpenters threw away a lot.

 

They also had a bbq one night with 20 of my chickens—not a feather left behind....—2 weeks later it was  my turkey that “went missing”.


a load of hay... one weeks worth to meridith/
