Okayyyyy.....
add to the above a phone call from another customer not five minutes ago canceling in order to "cut back" as well. Reduced rates, reduced visits, limiting scope of work, no suggestion worked to save the account.

There's a line in a song from the musical Godspell that says
"You'd bet that Job had nothing on you."
Sometimes, yep.

$inking, $inking.

I'm glad your weekend went well Gardener. I really hope the house sells quickly now that you've got your statue buried!

Hugs, Bunny

Well, at least you're not covered with boils. Or you haven't admitted it.

The down is going to feel so much worse since the weekend was so great.

Maybe you could suggest to X that it might be possible for her to pay you LESS, if she wasn't costing you MORE in unneccessary L and C fees, and stopping your income from renter!! grrrr..

And I have never heard of this sculpture garden, despite growing up on Long Island, driving by around and through that whole area for years. I am going to look into it for a road trip, or a bike trip!

Take it easy. St. Joseph is with you. And don't scratch the boils--they'll get infected.

I went once, but it was closed, and had to settle for what I could see through the gate....I was just talking about it Fri with friends (we went to the Buddhist temple, instead). Sounds like a great place to pack a picnic and meet up...?

It definitely would be. I'd check with them first re:bringing in food, etc., though. And plan on several hours at least. And if your talking about a general meet up and have room for one more, I'd certainly be interested. I can't wait to go back.
Tell me more about the Buddhist Temple. Where is it?

It's in Carmel (exit 17 off Rt 84). I have to find out more about any programs, etc., they might have - we just walked around a little while (it was closing soon) and shot some photography.

Just googled it and there are three in that area.
