When we first moved in here it will pure forest which was very quickly cleared away in about two days by Jeff Masterson’s  big equipment which allowed us to move in a borrowed pickup truck with a camper on the back and my big horse trailer - Tom and I lived in the pickup truck and Janine lived in the front of the horse trailer the pickup truck had extremely limited warm water but still allow a quick shower--Janine had a one minute shower in the evening and Tom had a one minute shower in the morning I did whatever I could anywhere else. but it did allow for Janine to have to run between the two vehicles wrapped in a towel---well she's back to that now because Airstream trailer is  over by thethe G10 and my apartment has lovely hot water in abundance... so she came over here to shower and then ran across the yard in the towel it looked so familiar in 1979 when we built.

There was a brief few days when Tom was on call and wore a beeper there being no cell phone at that time the phone had gotten as far up the driveway as the gate so for a few nights if he had a call he had to run up to the gate in his underwear and deal with patients ---one of the reasons in buying this particular property was that he had to be within 20 minutes of the emergency room which he occasionally covered--- there was no kitchen concept involved in the entire operation--but eating out has never been a problem for me...

So back to current adaptations...  camera person Sam OK has always been very kind to us and sent us 1000 marbles as I was running out.. she did ask that I do a bunch of monkey fists for her so that she can give them away and she would like 80 of them that's a significant number but I should be able to manage although I now have to go buy more hooks from my buckle guy dot com I have now purchased over 3500 tiny snap. hooks from them over the last few years and I'm nearly out—again . unfortunately...... If I could buy 1001 at a time I would get 40% off but unfortunately I buy 101 at a time.   for 25% off--not only is that easy around the budget  but at 87 they hardly would be a prizede part of my estate such as it is.

 

Todays goal is to find someone to take me for a walk.   - I really need to move    use it or loose it is the motto of all orthopedic md’s and if the walk could be around Costco.. it would make  my day---it would also make it possible to pick up a large container of Starbucks coffee..  Duncan is OK but it really doesn't cut the mustard..

 

I now have a super hot water maker tea kettle and by starting my monkey fists in cold water because of the glass marble I can slowly increase the temperature up to boiling by juggling back and forth and back and forth so I could get a bunch of zipper pulls in the mail to Sam.. because she doesn't want them dyed.  Now if I could find my normal pan it would be very simple.. but I’ll  manage.

 

Keep the faith !!
