Volunteer day again.

As usual we went down for a gay old day of doing our thing for the seniors. Down at the church where Phillip has been lugging boxes for the elders, they had started a new way of doing things. They started issuing numbers to the old folks and then they drove their cars up to where Phillip was distributing the boxes, then he loaded them into their cars and didn't have to carry them all over the place. Good idea.

Then he came down to the senior center where I was and they put him to work packing boxes to the distributing point then helping the old folks select what they got. I will say things went much faster than they do when they have to rely on the old gal who runs the thing. She seems to be getting alzhimers because she can't remember anything for 3 seconds anymore. Phillip had the whole works of them getting their stuff and out of the place in less than a half hour. Too bad the old gal is losing it. She would ask Phil;lip what his name was about every every minute or so. She didn't even remember that he wasn't a volunteer there. She just knew she seen him there every 3rd thursday of each month to get me, so she put him to work. Usually he just comes to get me but he made the mistake of hitting the bathroom as soon as he came in, and she spotted him. No biggie for Phillip, he just did what she told him to do and the rest he got from the old folks who picked out what they needed. He even took their boxes out for some of them who got a box too big for them to carry. Just added another half hour to our time. One old gal who works at the center wanted him to be a volunteer sorter for the thrift shop there. Said they would pay so much for gas. Phillip said no dice.

We got the fence posts now, so Phillip will have to dig the holes and set the posts. Have to go up to Prescott tomorrow and get some ready set to put in the holes. Gotta check out some fencing too. Going to have to be strong enough to keep the pigs out and small enough holes to keep rabbits out. Last year I got some rain-gutter screen covering and we used it to cover the rows of new seedlings so the damn birds couldn't eat them as soon as they came up. Worked pretty good. Everything want's the garden.

Granny.
