And still at the beach! Obviously, these strips were drawn as Gene was about to leave the scene for college. That was nine years ago. Now, he has graduated, married and is struggling to establish himself and his young family. I’d say the strip is moving along in close to real time.
Not surprisingly, there are those among you who know much more about Kickstarter projects than I. I wish I could have sat down and talked to you beforehand! Pursuant to comments yesterday, I do want to say that I will be assisting a non-profit organization in the raising of funds. None of the money will darken my bank account. In fact, the last piece of the puzzle involves waiting for the non-profit’s new credit card to arrive. This being 2016, a Kickstarter account must be associated with a credit card, and this 169-year-old organization does not have one. It should arrive next week; as soon as it does, the project will go live.
I am using the extra time to tweak the rewards and the fun. Thanks for yesterday’s suggestions; I will consider them—except for the one about coming to your place to take you to dinner. No offense. Some of the rewards already in place won’t surprise you. Some of them might. I’m getting excited!

Gary I can’t get hold of Christine who is marrying off a child this weekend. Can I use your address for Dickens the Adventure Dog to get his visitor papers? Need address and phone number. I won’t leave him there.

Got Dickens papers so I am OK but email me so Lezlie and I can find you with boat.
Jackie, check your FB messages
Debbe, I’m very sorry to hear about your loss. Life is fragile and so easily lost, often by mere chance. Many times I have avoided death by a couple of seconds or just by luck. Tippy, and you all know what he means to me, would be dead if we had been out of town the day he ate a pill or I had not spotted half of a tiny white pill on the floor of their room. Not to compare with your nephew, but you know what I mean. I plan to try and do much better about living each day like it could be my last.
Jerry just read about deep brain stimulation with Parkinson disease in news a couple of intestinal ago. Is this what your doctor’s are doing? I hope it works.
Glad Tippy is OK. My fur ball is fiercely chasing the people outside the truck. He is inside.
“a couple of intestinal ago.”? Trying to figure that out!
‘Twas I.
What a long day! I am worn to a frazzle. But… Tomorrow is another day and I am NOT going to the office!
Minutes was supposed to be what I said. I have been running like crazy for days. Impulsive people pay for it in trying to pull it off.
Neighbor down street showed up with tiny black and white kitten rescued in last storm here. Land lord evicted kitty who is in kitchen with Dickens. Too small to spay yet but it needs shots. I have an orange cat down cuddled on my foot. Naming orange cats is hopeless, there are usually a half dozen identical ones here for last 20 years.

There is Valencia for your Orange cat
Or all of the Weasleys (from Harry Potter) They are all red heads
Debbe
We are sorry for your loss.
Our prayer are with you and his family.
As the positive thing in his life touched you –
Let the touch others through you.
Big Hugs

I can only add my voice to the thoughts other Villagers are sending, Debbe. Not fair, indeed. We all do send our love. Nancy K
Ghost, I found your next job: http://cdn.signspotting.com/wp-content/main/2016_04/Bosom%20Expert.jpg
Good morning Villagers…..
I thank all of your for your kind words and sympathy. Steve…you do have a God given talent, what a powerful song, and Jason did believe that Jesus was his Lord and Savior.
Went to see Dad on Wednesday. Sad. They took his driver’s license away, and he has no idea what they did with his car. Saw the modular house he backed in to…and yes, the corner brick foundation is damaged. Dad’s quote…..”you live and then you die.” Will be checking in on him today.
Yes, Jackie, it does appear that way….
Oh, I ran for my life the other day….I was putting a hen back in her cage when I noticed the auger in the third feeding trough was hesitating….and going backwards. I immediately started running the rest of the roughly400 feet to the front deck. Then I saw it, it spiraled up and out like a snake….thought to myself, do I chance it and run past it or double back and run another 600 feet to turn off the feeder….I chanced it and ran past that ‘snake’, and made it to the packing room and the toggle switch…..breathlessly turning it off and pointing to the teenager and the hen house. Boy, am I out of shape when it comes to running.
Today is going to be better….it’s Caturday!!!!!
love to one and all…..Debbe
GR 😉 get that phone number copied 🙂
Single surviving youngster ‘branched’ [moved back and forth btw. nest and limbs] a few days ago, and has been beating its wings lots lately. Now it’s not in sight, though it may come back. At this stage, young are adult size, but will not get white heads until year 4 [or maybe 3].

It’s up the limb at the top of the frame. Peace,
