Shredding

After breakfast we watched some of the morning news and TV shows.  At ten Carol went to her exercise class. While she was gone, I dumped the shredded in a large nursery can, I then went into my bedroom and be to shred papers that was in my file cabinet. The first folder belonged to Richard. There were papers about his early work experiences and marriages. Most were about bills that I paid. Carol made grilled cheese sandwiches. They were very good. I shredded more papers. Most of them had to do old bills that I filled away. I kept a day-to-day journal. This afternoon it began to rain; there was enough rain that interrupted the TV signal. I went out to the back of the house and was able move the leaves away from the dish. It started to rain again. I was able to read another chapter in the Book of Mormon.






A couple of days ago I picked some green looking topaz melons. Carol removed the seeds and cut the flesh in to small pieces. They were good. 

Carol made cheeseburger sandwiches for lunch and they were good.

The Temple

 Carol was up before me this morning. After showering I put on some of my Sunday clothes. After breakfast I we got ready to go to temple in Payson. A man there called me name, I didn't recognize him, but later membered him. We had an enjoyable session. before I left, I met man from the Holden ward and my brother, Ray. He is a temple worker on Tuesday, but today he was there for a session. We stopped at the Red Barn to see what they had. We then drove to Nephi and bought two ice cream cones. We then to Levan on the way home. When we got home, Carol made some cheese sandwiches. I then carved the pumpkines.

This the big pumpkind that we bought several weeks ago. it is setting on pot. the plant had died.
This a wrinkled pumpkin. It was hard to carve. We had a hot pepper that I inserted in the mouth to make a tung.
Here are the pumpkins on the front porch.

Midweek

After I got up, I watched the morning news, I fed the cats and was able to touch the cat that was in the house. It was a kitten then, I fixed breakfast. We watched the morning TV shows. It was about ten this morning when Carol went to her exercise class. While she was gone, I was in my bedroom removing folders that were in the cabinet, one of folders contained stories that I wrote while we were living in Delta. There were a lot of folders that contained income and tax information. I run them through the shredder. By this time the shredder was full. We dumped the shredder. There was another folder that was full. I was full of stories that were written by my students.

Good News

 This morning I opened the back door. Tiger, our cat, lay there dead. It was a sad time. Soon after it was light I dug a hole in the ground and buried the cat. Then after the news and breakfast and after some of the morning TV shows Carol called Doctor Gross and made an appointment for to see him was at three. We drove to Fillmore. We stopped at State Bank. Carol needed some cash. We got some medication at the drug store. Then we bought some groceries and then went home. We went to the post office. The squash that I left there yesterday were mostly gone. There were some small fruits there. Carol made some bacon and tomato sandwiches which were really good. We went back to Fillmore where we met with Dr Gross. He looked at my hernia. He said it wasn't a hernia. That was the good news.

Monday Mornng

 

It started like any other morning.  Breakfast. I fed the cats and walked out the greenhouses. Later, I picked a topaz melon. It looked like it was pretty green, but I picked it any way. I removed seeds on both halves. I then cut them in thin slices. I cut of the flesh. I tasted some of it. tasted much better than I thought.

This is the finished product.
The wheelbarrow contained a lot of water from the recent rains,
Robert's tiller has been in greenhouse five. It has been covered with a tarp. The controller part wasn't covered. I covered it and secured it with two bricks. I called Robert. There was no answer. We had warmups for lunch. I walked around the yard some and then walked out the road where there was a dead cat, A close look showed that it looked like it was calico.

Good Rest

We got up and watched the morning news. I went outside and saw a dead tree in the south-west corner of the yard that the wind blew over. It all most fell on the hen house. Carol said that she heard a noise during the night. It was a dead tree that fell. After breakfast I went out the back yard. That tall dead tree fell to the north,

I cut off many of the dead branches.


We stopped at Sam's Club and bought a bag of cat food and a few groceries. On the way home we stopped at Nephi and bought two twist ice cream cones 
The Provo temple that is under construction. We then went to the hospital where I was examined by my cardiologist. He told me that I was doing good. We then stopped at Nyleen's house.
