I could not make this up---100 years ago when I started service dog project ----maybeeee... like year 2002 or 3 --- someone came to my front door and said she heard that I had puppies to be trained for service dogs and they must be making an awful mess and she had just bought her mop and bucket with her. would I be insulted if she mopped my floor... I of course said I'd wouldn't mind at all which she then did and continued to be around for several years...
yesterday Janet came in the door and asked if I would mind if she tried to change the filters in my vacuum cleaner because she couldn't figure why my carpets weren't better looking it must be the fact I hadn't cleaned the filters... once again I of course said by all means have a good time--- so she proceeded to take the vacuum apart and clean and shake out and dust and put all back together again and my carpets have never been so clean.. she also had to comment that the receptacle on the vacuum needed dumping often only because my carpets hadn't been properly vacuumed for quite a while because of these clogged filters.. I'm delighted to have her do that----- of course.! . she said she would be back on occasion to redo the filters... REALLY !
then I got a phone call from a woman who asked if there was anything she could possibly do to help out my situation of being plunked down in a relatively inactive way... so I told her that at the moment what I needed would be for her to come and make herself a cup of coffee and hang out while I took a shower.. she was thrilled to be able to do something to help and hoped that she would earn a yellow monkey fist of her very own.
Judy tells me that somebody came in the day I left for the hospital and cleaned...the oven.. now how many other places in the whole country/ world. did somebody offer to go in somebody else's house and clean their oven... but this happens around here... crazy acres has always been. #1. CRAZY. And #2 FUN....
Could we possibly once again achieve that fun status? I am sure with your help----- and IF YOU ALL continue to keep the henny penny board going we could quite and be able to serve the community
In creative ways and KEEP CHAOS ALIVE !! --
Into my head has flown..... STICKEY BUNS !!! --- endless possibilities.....Wow---. there are things I would love to do and just now cannot do it but I can certainly show somebody else how um a few very unique things that I've learned in 80 some odd years----- like making sticky buns.. I am a super sticky bun maker and I would love to have somebody decide to they could help me do it and see how I I had been trained to do it so long ago...
More possibilities??? ---backing up a trailer or splicing rope are just a few things-for all the weird things that I can do that others cannot do there are thousands of things that everybody else can do that I now--- or always did---- find impossible.... like piano playing. ...
Now... it’s “ ALEXA...PLAY. MOZART.... or scot Joplin..”
SO----if you can, go and finish out the henny board for the month. it has been a strange month.... and we will work very hard to keep one foot firmly planted in midair.
