 dd 25

DD 25

sorry about the DD yesterday I was very busy preparing some legal documents and it got to be after 8:00 and I still had to get to the doctor's office and I just plain forgot how could I forget after how many of these damn things if I put out 4000 but I can... As for the thing in the newspaper the editor John did an unbelievable job of putting my article together as late as Monday. when the deadline is supposed to be Saturday noon. and I don't know whether sandy helped him or not but he got a better picture off Facebook and gave them credit for it a better one than the one I sent which was a little bit fuzzy---- the whole article was thrown together very quickly----  it's a good article but I was in an awful hurry -----  sandy now uses 2 great Danes and is quite handily. mobilized by the two of them..  


The pitch of my article is don't knock what seems to be not sustainable until you’ve tried....


There is a TV commercial on now showing a man in the subway standing to let an older woman have the seat... I'm glad somebody's trying to promote that concept and I certainly do have an awful lot of people helping me out but there are certainly a big gap in the whole concept of elder care. Which does have a an outfit called “the open door”.  which very nicely sends me Monday night's meal and it's always very good sort of home grown or home cooked ---last Monday it was good meatloaf great potatoes and a salad with a pastry for dessert---  you can't get any better and I enjoyed it now if I could only remember which day  was Monday I'd be much better off because I'm very inclined to eat my supper before mail call and this meal that they deliver to me at the door usually arrives around 6:00 more of a bedtime snack..


Last night's mail call was fun because Carol  was here ---- not from Wisconsin as previously rumored but from one of the Carolinas again that seems to make the news an awful lot lately between Gwen and Janine both moving there.. it was interesting for Gwen to see how smoothly a camera person can just come right in and slide right into place know where everything is--- know who's who --- well we're supposed to do and what needs being done which she did very nicely as did Mary who who's somewhere between here and California and will return in a few days weeks maybe.. it is it is certainly reassuring you all  have a whole army of  help behind me at the moment as I've decided in my old age that I'm entitled to become even more ornery---


So before anybody decides I've taken a turn for the worse let's say I just turned back to previous orneriness.. we had a nasty close call between a car and Wanda and it made me realize”.   I don’t need to LET just  ANYONE  drive through my front yard . 

---  all cars NOT DELIVERING food  TO MY “BUILDING 67”.... should go to the parking lot. OR  park down on the street whatever but I'm tired of them driving too aggressively .... too fast ... parking on the grass...  or in the way....I WOULD HAVE MUCH PREFERRED A 5 mph speed limit and  HAPPY “GOOD MORNING SMILE” INSTEAD OF A FLIPPED BIRD.   But,  That is not what is happening. ...


Commercial vehicles delivering will be allowed—all others should go to tHe paRKING PIT—THAT IS WHAT IT IS FOR......and walk thru the dog’s play yard/flat field.  to get to the barn.  It is even closer that way.. One job in the next few days is to get the appropriate signage up.-


Well first I have to figure out who makes these  signs....
