Sacrament Meeting

I was a little late getting this morning. I showed, got dressed, and watched some of the morning news. Richard was still in bed but he soon got up and showered. Carol was up and we fixed breakfast. She got potatoes and put them in the oven. I set the timer. I checked my phone for any messages. I had choir practice at nine. Easter is next week and general conference is next week. The bishopric decided to have Easter program today to show an appreciation for the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The choir sang four song. The Easter program was good. We had asparagus, baked potatoes, beef steaks and gravy for dinner. Richard fried the steaks. Richard left after dinner. I watered the plants in greenhouse five. I had warmups for supper.

Finishing Touches

 

Richard stayed with us last night and was still in bed. I fed the cats and started the old fashion oatmeal mush. Richard got up and left. He planned on going to the zoo in Salt Lake City. He soon came back. It was too far to drive. Cost of gas was too high. I fixed him breakfast. Later he helped fix the shower curtain. Carol washed the sheets. I helped her make the beds. There was a big tree that was laying in the path on the way to the well. He got my electric chain saw. We got a long extension cord. He plunged one end in a power box in house five. He soon cut out a piece of that dead tree. Richard and Carol have been watering the front lawn. I watered the pomegranate bush a big picture of water, I turned some water on some fruit trees east of greenhouse five. It took some of the water that was running the front lawn.  Tiger, our cat, was a sleep on the roof.

The photo shows the section of the tree that was removed,

I watched the clock to make sure that I was up at 5:30 this morning. The alarm on my phone didn't ring. I showered and put my suite on. We after breakfast we drove to Lindon.  We got off at 1600 north. The road is under construction. It took a long time to get to Nyleen's house. we picked up Carol's sister, Nyleen. We had an enjoyable time. We took Nyleen home. She had a sack lunch for us. We stopped at Sam's Club for some groceries and a bag of cat food. There was a lot of traffic going south. There was no mail. When we got home I put my suit away and put on my overalls. Then I unloaded the car. I watered the plants in greenhouse five.

Ropers

This morning after the morning chores, I drove to Fillmore and stopped at Ropers. I delivered a picture of the pipes and got the name of a plumber. I then came home. I called a plumber. There was no answer. I got out my weed eater and began cutting down the weeds east of greenhouse sis. I made a path east to the well. That would make easier for plumber to get to the well and make the necessary repairs. Carol went to her exercising class. We had warmups for lunch.

I am short one of my medications. I called the Express Script to determine what I am missing. I was on the phone answering questions with yes or no for a long time. Finally, I was able to talk to a person. Then I talked to another person. I talked to a doctor who determined what I was missing. I was told to talk to our doctor in Fillmore. He would give me a new prescription. 

This photo of a group of ant lions in greenhouse five.
This shows the path through the weeds and grass that goes to the well.  I used the weed eater to make a path. It will be easier walk to the well, I got a call from Tyson Dipo who will be here Friday morning.

Trip to Clinic

 

I was short one pill in my medication. We decided to take my four bottles of medication and visit the clinic. The couldn't help much. They had the records of my medications. But mine had the generic name. Carol stayed in the car. I was there for quite a long time.  We also filled the car with gas. I was going to turn on the water at the well. I went around the yard and turned off a the ends of all the water lines. Next I went back to the well and turned the electric switch. The water began to fill the pressure tank. The water was leaking at several place in front of the pressure tank. I turned of the power. No I need a good plumber. I looked om line for a local plumber. I couldn't find any.

Two Evevents

 


Everything this morning was pretty normal. I watered all of the indoor plants. We had breakfast. We watched some of the morning shows. I started cleaning all the stuff that was on the table in the little bedroom. There was an old computer, a printer, a TV monitor and various extension cords. I called Dan Speakman and asked him if he could take. I put them in the car trunk. This afternoon drove to his shop in Fillmore. We put all of it on his front porch. Later this afternoon we put the house garbage in a big garbage bag and loaded into the trunk. We were going to take it to the trump. We drove around town for a while. We went up and down the streets. We drove back home. We drove into our driveway, a friend of our dove his tractor with his tiller into the north garden. All of the following pictures are of our friend and his tractor except one second from the end.







This is the table that I cleaned up in the little bedroom.
