Nayber lady came out this afternoon and said Mr. Nayber wants to help. I said he's welcome but didn't have to. She said "But it's a mutual project."
I said "Why, Are y'all startin' tuh get on yer own nerves?"

Anyone who doesn't have the movie is still welcome to stop in and chat! Maybe we can work in some NaNo talk...
Wonder what time we should start? I'm thinking maybe six thirty our time, which would be an hour later your time.
Jen ran out to the library...I guess I shouldn't commit until she gets back...

I didn't get any nano prep done this weekend and I meant to. I didn't exercise either. :( But I did do tons of laundry, tidying, and errands. I made tomato sauce, a big batch of taco meat, some sourdough (rising), and yogurt.
Danger, Will Robinson! Danger! Danger!
Oh and sausage! I made my first attempt at breakfast sausage. There's lots of room for improvement but it's not as bad as I thought.
Looks like it'll look good. Why is it a mutual project? And why is the offer resented? You'll have to fill me in on the feud here.
Um...I accomplished...ummm...unloading the dishwasher?
I still don't even know what I'm going to write about, and I'm fretting about it. I'd really like to write another book for my sister, but about what? And my brain seems to be in slow-mo lately.
You could do a modern spin on a fairy tale.
You mean take a real story and adapt it?
Ya know, if'n yer gonna have breakfast with the Saddle Club, yer gonna miss a lot of mini-dramas. Here's the short version.
1) Naybers complained about trees. We had trees taken out.
2) Naybers complained about water run-off (see trees, above)
3) Naybers built a berm to deal with the run-off. I didn't want to have a ditch on my side of the property. So I started planting stuff that would ~also~ deal with the run-off. It wasn't good enough.
4) They were about to build a ~bigger~ berm when I said I'd do the dry stream bed. I'm willing to go that far and they actually look kind of cool.
But, this is only a mutual project in ~their~ minds. His message the other day thru Jr. that he wanted to help was code for "why haven't you done this already?"
Thing is, previous nayber lady (Hyacinth) spent thousands of dollars having the yard landscaped to deal with the run-off. They've let it all grow up.
They mean well. But a large portion of their "problems" with run-off and other issues, are imagined.
I had other things to do this fall.
Now, the prince could be the VP of the company who swings into action to find and rescue her before the hitmen find her.
Etc....
Yes, but you can't blame the dog for the "ring tone."
Heh... I have stalls to clean... and after the horse poo, hopefully a shower before my husband gets home.
back in a bit.
I'm hoping to make headway on the characters tonight during the ballgame.
Any chance you can get their property declared a wetland?
Well it does drain into the Chesapeake Bay...
I don't doubt they have water problems. I do doubt that it's all coming from ~my~ yard.
Everything's your fault. You should know that by now.
Heck, Corin. With credentials like that you could run for President!
