Home in the Boonies

@JudyEv - Ms Judy - What is a month 'twixt friends? Settled? From the look of things, another year might not be sufficient for that. Well, I need to take some of that thought back. Esther, my green-thumb bride already has her gardens going right nicely. Also, our grandkids, also here, have managed to bestow a "rescue" doggie onto us all. they have named him "Fenway" (after Fenway Park, the home of the Boston Red Sox baseball team (ny unfavorite baseball team...) I have re-named the mutt, "Freeway" which sounds like the right idea anyway. He has not made a bark or a sound now in two days. Wags the living daylights with his sturdy tail, however. Also, he eats like a starving hog. -Gus- March the 8th

@JudyEv - Ms Judy - I am having more fun than an old goat like me could ever wish to have. From my early days on earth I have been a big fan of the natural stuff - trees, critters, even people... This place has all of that. As to "Freeway," the rescue dog, I just cannot get over his total silence. In the now two days that he has been with us, not a sound out of him. Perhaps he is a mental telepathist or maybe he ran into a cat some time back that "got his tongue." Anyway, yesterday was quite an adventure in that my grandson-in-law and I cooked supper for everyone - and it was actually edible. No point in giving the stuff a name, however. It reminded me of the "home made" pancakes that my father made for us one time when all of the family kids were very young. He had bragged about how they would be. Then he served them to us kids. Then we played with them because you could not stick a fork into them. They were like armor-plated. Smelled good and looked great, but you just could not get to them. Anyway, as tlast night's supper plates received the stuff from the pots we produced, the great-grandkids ate their fill and only those of us who understood the food architects and constructors wrinkled our noses at it. -Gus-

@Ceerios I hope I'm wrong in getting the impression that perhaps you're not really happy there. Freeway sounds a great dog. Has he taken to going on 'walks' with you and your scooter? Some here sit their little dogs between their feet when they ride or in a basket.

@GardenGerty - Trying to scope out the problem(s) and need another cup of hot coffee... -Gus- (and Thanks)...

@josie_ - Howdy Ms Josefina - Yes. The "countryside" is plenty nice. Here, the little deer come along, and the traffic noises are at a minimum. As to all of that stuff that accumulates, may it will also evaporate. Cannot find half of the things I need to find, however. What a mess. As to those images, it is a puzzle as to what is causing the problems. Tried severely downsizing the pix - no luck there. Changed the image formats. Again, no luck. Tried contacting the techies on MyLot. Waiting to hear. Take care, nice friend. Gus
