New Phones

 

This morning, we drove to the Fillmore Market for some groceries. It was supposed to snow but it wasn't.  It was snow pretty hard when we left the store.  We drove home on frontage road. We pricket up the mail and then drove home. Lisa ordered new phones and they were here this afternoon.  The box contained three phones; they were identical to the phones that we have.  I worked most of the afternoon getting them to work. There were three phones.  One for the family room and one for the bedroom.  We haven't determined where to put the third phone.  Some boys from the ranch cleaned the snow off our driveway.

Cold

Carol made some cheese grilled sandwiches for lunch.  I also had a bowel of soup. The phone range. Carol answered it. A neighbor called. I tested the phone by calling Carol answered it, I went into my bedroom and called. She answered it. Everything looked good until I went outside.  There was a cold wind blowing and it came from the southwest. After breakfast, I walked out to greenhouse five.  The temperature on the thermostat 64 degrees.  There were two peas that germinated.  I Didn't water anything; we are having trouble with Carol's phone.  Every time I call here there is a busy signal, this afternoon her phone rang. Carol answered it. It was the first time the phone rang for several weeks. It was a neighbor, I called her, she answered it. I went into my bedroom and called again. She answered it.  The doorbell rang.  It was CR Charlesworth. We bought some of his produce.

New Vacuum

 

This morning, we were up at our regular time. The alarm on my phone had a funny sound on it.  I watched the morning news and some of the morning MeTV shows.  It was about 10:30 when we drove to Fillmore.  We got gas at the LOVE gas station. Our car was pretty dusty because of the driving the dusty roads yesterday. I washed all of the glass one the car.  We bought some groceries.  Carol bought some birthday cards.  We then stopped at Roper's hardware store, and I bought a cordless vacuum. We then went home.  For lunch I ate the rest of the pizza.  There were two pieces.  After lunch, I put the vacuum to gather and charged the battery.

Rain

It was about seven this morning when we left Holden.  There was some rain in the valley some snow in the mountains.  We were soon in Linden where we picked up Nyleen and drove to the Mount Timpanogos temple. We were early enough to go the earlier session.  When the session was over, we took Nyleen home.  She made us a nice sack lunch. We stopped at Sams Club where we bought some groceries.  It began to rain quite hard. We then went to Walmart where I bought a connecting cable for my phone. It worked. I am now able to take picture and post them on my blog.

There was about one half inch of rainwater in this frying pan on the patio, it looks like a mirror showing the tree branches above. 
This another picture I took, showing the temperature in greenhouse five. We took the house garbage to the dump.  There has been some thunder this afternoon.

Power Was Off

 

After breakfast we watched one TV show when the power was turned off.  This was announced several weeks ago.  I backed the car out of the garage.  The power was turned off at nine right as scheduled.  We had planned to take three unopened glass coke bottles to Maryanne.  We soon drove to Sutherland and stopped her house.  After a short we drove around Sutherland.  We looked at the home where I grew up.  We went the cemetery where our baby and my parents were buried. We then drove on miles and miles of dirt roads.  We filled the care with gas in Fillmore.   W bought some hamburger and then drove home.  The power came back on. I went out to greenhouse five to hook up the drip tape to water a row of peas.  I tried several times. The water presure was too high and caused the connections to come apart.
