Bishopric

 After breakfast I put on my suit and Carol took me to choir practice. We are learning some hymns that are really difficult for me. After choir practice I went in the chapel and sit with Carol and Richard. After the sacrament. The Stake President released the bishopric and sustained the new bishopric. All of them spoke. Carol went to relief society meeting; Richard and I stayed for priesthood meeting. After dinner Richard left.  

Catch Up

Richard was gone all day. Carol and I went to Fillmore, Filled the car with gas, bought some groceries, and stopped at the drug store. When Richard came back. he started the lawn mower. After lunch I mowed the front lawn. I then started to mow the back lawn and hit a chain that I didn't put away last fall. The belt came loose. Richard tried to fix it. We went to Fillmore for a new belt and they didn't have one. They could have a new next week.  

Temple

Every Thursday we go to Timpanogos temple. We get up a little early, put on our Sunday and eat an early breakfast. It was a little after seven when we drove out town. It was a little cloudy most of the way. We picked Nyleen up and drove to the temple. It was a good session. We took her back home. We stopped at Sam's Club and bought some groceries. We got in a huge traffic jam on the way home. After we unloaded the car I watered the peas and other plants in greenhouse five.  I watered some in greenhouse six, 

Wednesday

 

Last night I thought I would use a blanket instead of turning on the electric blanket. I put it on my bed. It was so heavy that I took it off and plugged in the electric blanket. I had a good rest. I watched the morning news. Carol gets up and showers. We fixed breakfast and watched some of the morning TV shows. At ten this morning Carol went to her exercise class. When it was over she picked up the mail. 

This is a native shrub that is growing north of the driveway north of our front yard.

I turned the water on and let it run on a redwood tree north of greenhouse three.

This is the lilac shrub that is by the kidney.

Here is a closeup photo of the bush.

I watered all of the plants in greenhouse five.

Tuesday

 

Monday- April 6, 2026 

 When I got up this morning, It began as a regular day. After breakfast we watched morning news and some of the morning TV shows. Robert and Jeanne were in Parowan attending a funeral. I was able to watch the funeral it on the internet. This afternoon Robert and Jeanne came. Robert and I walked out to the greenhouse. He fixed the garden hoses so it would be easier to water the plants. 

Tuesday- April 7, 2026 

This I watched the morning news and later I fed the cats and got breakfast started. I didn't have to make any mush because there were three bowels of mush in the fridge. After breakfast we watched the morning TV shows. I picked up the mail. There was a bill from the Holden irrigation company.  Robert and me for our assessment.  It was $15 a share. We have two shares. Robert has 2 and 1 half shares and a friend of ours has three shares. We paid all of it. We worked on it for nearly an hour.  Carol made some egg salad sandwiches which were very good.  Tonight we had spaghetti and cheese. The spaghetti is mostly gone. We had frozen twinkies for dessert.

Conference Sunday

Lisa and Eric came for the morning session of conference. Richard was all was already here. The cordless vacuum hasn't worked for several weeks.

I cleaned the dirt catcher really well. That didn't help. I took of the roller brushes. The vacuum had good suction. There was a string wrapped around the roller. I cut it. The shute was plugged. I cleaned it really good and now the cordless vacuum works.

Here is a photo of Eric, Lisa, Carol, and Merrill.

Lisa brought a lot of food and Easter things.

Lisa brought a live house plant.

Eric is preparing a lunch. Richard is standing facing the table.

More Easter things on the kitchen table.

We watched the morning and the afternoon sessions of conference. The music and speakers were inspiring. Carol showed Lisa her books of which she has had for years. Lisa took them and will post them on a family YouTube.
