All I can say is wow, I am flabbergasted.. with the sellout of the henny penny board... that certainly is a game changer. and my head immediately went to now we really can concentrate on finding another crazy fool to go with us on these trips to daycare centers.. We can start immediately at figuring out which facilities can cope with--- for the first thing the trailer--- I can think of at least two places where I could not even begin to get the trailer close to the facility. and how does the world feel about parking where it clearly says fire lane.... And then do they want us to bring other animals. I know that the concept of just even walking through any facility leading a well behaved mini donkey...... would do an unbelievable lift to the spirits of the staff working in some of these places... And let me tell you from seeing some of these places these activity directors definitely need help--- .. they work extremely hard with little if any budget and 99% are just plain worn out. Hopefully we can provide that “lift”. Thanks to all the Goldy Warriors who support us... you all have now caused us to rethink the process. of delivering smiles to those in need.
And in the process I have discuss the process of sticky buns... and how they might entice people to come and join our happy tribe... I have spent at least 5 minutes trying to remember and list the things I need to buy to accomplish this sticky bun project.. and immediately I remember my mother saying you need just a little bit of sugar to activate the yeast.. and whatever you do never let the yeast. Cool off... ,,, so based on that I will try and get someone off to the market for the basic ingredients for dinner rolls.. to stary the project... test drive.... heaven knows we have eggs which I do like to put in it because Elizabeth's chickens have begun laying eggs all over the place so we have eggs if we can find them. I am on it !

yesterday Tommy Nugent came to visit--- he gets the DD--- Tommy Nugent was slightly older than Janine and worked around the farm in Lynnfield Because he was desperately interested in the race track and encouraged by my husband who also was interested and spending money on horse racing.----- some of you may have heard these 2 stories but --------I have forgotten why our horse named gal Friday hurt her foot----but for some reason tommy put her in our cellar which had six inches of water in it from the flood so she could soak her feet ----and then----I was in the process of teaching Tommy to drive a horse trailer... and there was one day when the back of my car had two televisions in it going somewhere... and I had just cleaned out an old jewelry box which had many old timex watches in it.. so the process of trying to get the batteries for those timex to see which ones worked I had strapped six or eight of them on my arm... and Tommy and I were out with the trailer... Tommy driving----- a policeman stopped us because I had the wrong sticker on the back of the license plate... and as he scolded tommy for his lack of paperwork----- I could not resist sticking my arm out in front of him and saying. ” wanna buy a watch ?”-----Tommy remembers that day clearly also because he was terrified he was going to land in jail as being the driver of this vehicle loaded with hot items. Tommy is now giving up horse racing thank heavens it is now a highly respected medical doctor in Kentucky... but he is and always will be a very independent thinker who. loves to argue. .... as do I.. so we spent three hours discussing some really interesting concept I hadn't maybe thought of
----he said from his experience---the last thing you want to be in a hospital , or doctor’s office , or emergency room is any kind of doctor ,politician, noted actor or any of those things because it changes the attending doctors approach to your medical problem.---- he went on at great length about this with all sorts of stories to verify his theory. I know full well that there is an expression if you are a doctor's family something medically will go wrong .. I heard that for years and I've also seen it relatively true. ------so I think he has a point to ponder there. He said he personally never tells anybody he's a doctor-
Back to work.... The henny penny board--I tried to shut it down last night and get the next one open and the whole website had been so busy that it basically was shut down and I couldn't do anything----- I hopefully can work on it this morning and get everybody thanked and on their way and on to the next one ------that sell out has been great for my general mental being... Many thanks to all of you.
