 dd 3.23

Experimental dd.

  As I have no internet at teh moment...and no dictation til nick gets up and figues it all out nick hAS TAKEN TO cleaning the arena of “used hay” so that Wallace has a perfect surface on which to train other peopke;s horses- we get the benefit of wallace’s extended brazillian family and  exbullrider muscles and pr of camera time in the arena- 

nick enjoys the esercise without going to the gym- shoveling manure has always been janine’s form of  “reliever of the frustraqtions” --- and I never objected to it either- especially in warm weather.

 

FUNNY STORY--- michelle ( now occupant of the cabin and)  a HUGE help to me--- she spent 28 years as an outrider at Suffock Downs. – you know the extyra horse needed to lead the racers to the starting gate—and catch some after the rACE---- And she rode  10 races a day in all. --- as in ALL weather. She will now not get on a horse unless it is 60 degrees.= 

ANOTHER ;FIRST FOR ME.-AN FYI TO PASS ON... I WATCHED HER USE THE SHAPE OF A SPOON TO WEDGE THE GRAPE JELLY TO OPEN ENOUGH TO BREAK THE VACUUM SO AFTER 7 OTHER PEOPKE HAD FAILED FOR LACK OF PROPER OPENING DEVICES—SHE DID I T---WITH A SPOON....

 

DO WE HAVE SO MUCH  PROPER  EQUIPMENT THAT WE LOST THE ABILITY TO PROBLEM SOLVE WITH WHAT IS AVAILALE?

I AM WORKING HARD IN THAQT DEPARTM4ENT  AS I MADE YESTERDAYS 3 MEALS WITH A KERIG COFFEE MAKER—EVEN GETTING THE.  OATMEAL, THEN THE  FINE NOODLES COOKED IN THE KERG HOT WATER... 

I HAVE ALWAYS  “KEPT MY POWDER DRY”  BY BEING SURE TO KEEP SOME BOOKS OF MATCHES SEALLED AND SAFE—BECAUSW WITH FEWER SMOKERS I WOULD BE STUCK RUBBING 2 STICKS TOGETHER

 

BRINGING UP THE MATTER OF   “RELICS”. LIKE MY LOVELY  OLD. GLENWOOD STOVE--- I HAVE DECIDED ( LETS SEE IF I GET AWAY WITH THIS......) MOVING IT PIECE BY PIECE AND SET UP WHERE M Y CHAIR NOW IS- AND NOT WORRYING ABOUT A CHIMNEY TIL WE NEED IT NEXT  FALL.... IN THE MEANTIME—IT IS A FAVORED “OBJECT”—ALONG WITH THE ANTIQUE DOCTORS SCALE  YET TO BE FOUND

 

KEEP THE FAITH !!
