Dd 3 27

 

I love my electric sign which tells me the day daytime and also whether it's morning or evening just in case I wake up and it's dark it can be confusing ---Janine is back from the Carolinas It is not totally sure of where she's living which is not unusual...   She objects to living in the same building with me even though I have an extra bed she's on a different cycle she goes to bed at 11 and gets up at 8:00 I go to bed at 7 and get up at 4:00..  and even though I promised to be very quiet and not wake her up she opts not to sleep in this new apartment..  and asked nick to go fire up that big trailer---I've forgotten the name but it is a well known RV  trailer Kind of thing.

  She did a fantastic job at turning the old laundry room into a first floor apartment for me.  it's a shame I had to wait for two years to have it be available however we are here.   I have no idea why in the town of western Massachusetts replacing entire kitchens became fashionable and Elizabeth found out about it and got in line very quickly the claim the kitchens that were being replaced I am told she ended up with 14 kitchens in the cell of cellar of her boxford home and I don't doubt it because she keeps coming up with entire kitchens---as she has for this apartment and they are lovely drawers all work and slide and things like that- so when we needed a kitchen for this apartment so you had an extra 1 right handy...

 

Being able to get around the farm on that little go Kart is absolutely wonderful and it gave me a chance to try and find where stuff is ---those things put carefully away in horse trailers or tempting or something the only object that seems to have suffered greatly is my father's old desk and I don't know whether that's going to be something I can reclaim I'm not sure I can find all the pieces but it is a lovely old oak desk..  I did find and get put into my room the old doctor's scale which many people made fun of and rattle on about recalibrating it.  will it very nearly is in balance but to be absolutely perfect needed a little brass ring I had about 1/2 an inch across by balance that on the far end the whole thing is in perfect balance---I must admit the thing you stand on has a bit of rust but the rest of The thing is fine.   now to start moving the stove.  I think the way to do this is to photograph teh “before”. Then take it appart--- and stand in the drivewqy and ask every one to go and carry a piece of stove to the new apartment. Where it can stay for the summer while we try. And figure out what to do...

I am thrilled to see that the “groominhg table “  is still here    ( a 4’ x 3’ heavy duty stainess steel on rollers---- for the odd chance I want to wash all or part of a dane.. it provices a lift !!

 

All of walaces relatives are resurfacing the “laundry building” with normal boards... you can hardly recognize the difference---- eventually I will figure out how to send photographs.. 

Maybeeeeee.
