Trip to Saratoga Springs - A Bust?



This morning Andrew Brown, a furnace repairman, worked and hour on the furnace in house two.  The pilot light went out, and the fans turned on blowing unheated air which was cold.  He tested different systems and replaced the thermo-coupler.  The pilot light was on tonight after we got home.
The rest of the day was most interesting and somewhat frustrating.  We stopped at a couple of stores to get some supplies and a few groceries.

Our family dinner with my brothers and sisters and their spouse was to begin at four.  Carol and I were there about one half hour earlier.  We waited and waited.  Four o'clock came and went and still no one.  The phone rang and it was my brother Paul wondering where we were.  It ended up that we were at the wrong place.  Gary, my brother in law tried to give us directions.  We did our best to follow them and we drove up and down Redwood road.  That would be north and south.  He told us of different landmarks.  Like Walmart, Jiffy Lube, etc.  We finally arrived.  It took us about twenty minutes to reach the Café El Lago which was about a half mile from our first stop.  We had a nice dinner and visit.
After we drove to Robert's new home in Orem.  We were on the right street but it was getting dark and we couldn't see the house number.  I called him and he came out where we saw him.  It is an older home with and upstairs and downstairs with four bedrooms and a few other rooms beside.  he has a fairly good size lot.  We visited awhile.  We stopped for gas on the way home.
