Infomercial

Well now, I know there are lots of them out there...But did you know the U.S. Post Office has one? I kid you not.I awoke turned on the television ( a rare treat this time of year) and there it was a full half hour infomercial by the U.S.Post Office!!! Whats more they are the ONLY self supporting government agency!!! So what does this all mean? Not a darn thing other than maybe the other agencies should be given just 5 years to be self supporting.Just think the office of agriculture could come up with some clever way to help the small death of the American farmer to live BIG! Or HUD could train carpenters by using the houses they have as training aids to get people off welfare, onto a trained useful job and then we would have housing for those who can not work...please note I do not mean those who refuse to work. The profit could be mind blowing if those in charge did not get paid till there was a profit..NOW honey that is motivation. no work, no profit = no pay !!! Gee all the fortune 500 know this...One must be hungry enough and need to take care of their families. end of ranting...


Now Bruno is as close to the end of his rope as ever...between leaving the ranch in my hands as well as the construction and remodel, him being away from home and add the stress of the dam ( this dam is the first dam in history to be cut in half while still in use) no pressure there, huh? Anyway he informed me that he just might not outlast this....HUH? are you kidding....Now don't get me wrong , I love Bruno more than life....But that man will get in my way...add to my already too much to do in one lifetime work load, and work me into the ground...imagine keeping up with the speed of light my friends. Now you all must pray that he does not leave there and come here till I'm finished with all this....Dear God I will not survive. He is a working crazy man. I will end up in the ward for over worked farm fairies.....

In other farm fairy news....Ranch Giggler and I went out to Camano Island and went crabbing with my dad....mom hooked us up with rain gear (why, I'm already soaked?) and we happily drove down to the boat launch and began to locate the crab pots...score!!! not enough for a party but enough for us to have supper. Giggler asked pops if she could go out again...yes! so today we shall return to the sea for some more of her bounty....Oh there is no such thing as too much crab..fresh in your body..from pot to belly less than and hour.life is good....oh so good.

why blogger refuses to....

post even one photo is beyond me ...maybe because the kittens are flat out crazy at play each time I try....and the energy they have...try as i might I can't seem to bottle it. I would love to have that.

Anyway Bruno is back at work and that my friends means I can get back to my pace. Which to hear others means high speed to me on the other hand is more like 3rd gear. Oh how I wish I had overdrive in this body like when I was in my mid twenties. That would let me get done in reality those plans that I think I should be able to do as once was possible.
The high clouds still give no relief to the heat. Breathing the humid air sucks for my production level...suck through wet sponge and see what happens.

I awoke with a kitten under me , still trying to figure out why Buck was crammed up under me in this heat, although Thomas was under the covers snoring ...That cat loves the heat, the closer to it the better. Buck ( baby orange kitten) will drive you nearly mad trying to get on or in your plate. It makes no difference what you may have, he wants it and will return repeatedly until you toss him off or out.

Okay I am off and will be getting done some things that will no longer hang over my head. Paper work for the next two days will keep me from the puter. So have a good few days and hope you are well...

Bruno leaves as wife pukes brains out ......

Brunos visit longer than most turned into a sleep fest as he is SO TIRED...I had to make him leave tools all over last night as yours truly begged him to stop working. He did we sat and he ate Moussaka (sp)I refuse to eat lamb of any sorts...he shot hernitos and I sipped water. after being eaten alive we went in and I went off to bed after coffee making. In the morning we went to Elgar Bay cafe for breakfast which was wonderful...what I did not know was there was margarine in it...within a few moments I was flush on fire and doing my utmost not to toss my crab Benedict all over Brunos truck. By the time we arrived home I was headed to the sofa and Bruno loaded up my truck ( his needs to be serviced) and was leaving me with the entire mess of tools and trying to not puke....56 minutes later I met up with the toilet and let her have it....I slept the remainder of the day....I am now watering the dry world...although the humidity is so bad here right now, will go and feed the babies and then will shower, make coffee and arrive to settle down on 500thread count cotton, lined dried sheets...I am missing Bruno like mad right now....Jonas is playing with the kittens and all is well....
