Good Rain

After I got up, showered and dressed I turned on the TV to the morning news: there was no signal. I went out to the dish and was able to push a small branch away from the dish, still no TV signal. I cut down some small trees so I could get a little closer to the dish. Carol called and told me that the TV was getting the signal. Carol wanted a new pot for her plant.

This is the pot 

Busy Day

This morning after breakfast we drove to Fillmore where an appointment with a doctor's technician. We then bought some groceries and then went to the drugstore. We were home for a short time when Ray and Maryann were at the door. Later Robert came.

Carol made zucchini bread yesterday. It is so good.

Here is another one.

Ray, Maryann, me, Carol, and Robert. Robert and I walked around the yard. It is beginning to rain. The rain on the leaves above the dish are heavy and hang down over the dish and block the signal. I went outside to shake the tree branches that were hanging over the dish.

This morning after the morning news and breakfast, Carol called the clinic and made an appointment for me. I have an air bulge just below my chest. Later we went to the clinic where I was examined by a technician. He said that I had a hernia. We stopped at the county courthouse and paid taxes for the car. We got a new sticker for the car. Next, we bought some groceries. Last we stopped at the drug store. Carol got a prescription and I got one.

We were surprised when my brother Ray knocked on the door. I let him and his wife come in. Moments after that, our son Robert rang the doorbell. We had a nice visit. They went up the canyon. They wanted some branches to make walking sticks. It has been raining of and on a little bit. 

Fast Sunday

 

I was up at 6:20, but my alarm didn't wake me up. I fed the cats and prepared my medications for the week. No breakfast because it was fast Sunday. We watched channel eleven, we also wrapped potatoes in foil and put them in the oven. Later we attended our church meetings. There are two meetings. After church Carol boiled two ears of sweet corn and made the best hamburger patties, I watered the topaz melons and the plants in the front yard.

Good Rain

During the night this morning I could hear it raining. It was a little after two. It was dark when I got up so I could not see much. I turned on the TV. There wasn't any signal. A little later the wind blew some and the signal returned. I was able to watch the morning news. After breakfast I took a small box of vegetables to the post office. Carol sent me to the post office to mail a letter. The vegetables took up there are gone. This afternoon I watered the plants in the front yard.
