Mount Timpanogos Temple



We were up early this morning. I put on my suit. I fed the cats, took my medication, and then prepared breakfast.  I was careful eating breakfast because I did not want to spill any food on my suit.

Pan Cakes

After breakfast we watched the three channel 44 programs.  Carol picked up the mail at the post office. I make me a sandwich with some of the Sunday meatloaf. We watched the afternoon TV programs.  We made pancakes for supper with bacon and fried eggs.  I didn't put enough water in the pancake mix.  The cats got some Pancakes that we couldn't eat.  I also gave some the to the chickens.   No pictures.  We watched TV until we went to bed.

Walk Outside

After breakfast we watched channel 44 programing.  I slept through part of it.  I got the mail and we then drove to The Fillmore Market.  We bought a few groceries.  I thought about stopping at Roper's hardware to get a furnace filter.  I didn't bring the dimensions. I thought that I would find it my emails.  After looking for some time I gave up on that idea.  I went under the house and removed the filter.  I cleaned it out some with my blower.  

I blew out a lot of the dust and then put it back in the furnace.
I wrote down the dimensions as shown in the above photo. I will take it with us the next time we go to Fillmore.
The plants in house five looked like they needed more water.  I turned it on for about forty minutes.
The temperature in house five was almost at eighty degrees.
A surprise in the hen house.  Five eggs.  I haven't checked it for a couple of weeks.  I washed them and put them in the fridge.  
There was some cat throw up on the front porch.  I brushed it off with one of my larger brooms.  It took me quite a long time to get my photo up so I could crop them.  We then watched TV until we went to bed.

Lazy Friday

I got up a little earlier this morning than usual.  I did my usual morning routine.  I fed the cats and started getting ready for breakfast.  Carol slept in.  It was about seven thirty when she got up.  She didn't get much sleep.   We then had breakfast, after breakfast we watched the morning TV shows.  I went to the post office to pick up the mail I had warmed over spaghetti.  I put a lot of grated cheese on it.  It was easier to eat.  We watched the noon news.  Later I canceled my geranium seed order and then ordered some salmon geraniums.  That took a while to do that.  The plants in house five were looking good.  I had a can of soup for supper.  We watched TV until we went to bed.

Quick Trip

As soon as breakfast was over, we drove to Fillmore for groceries and medications.  We went to the Fillmore market.  We got milk and bottle distilled water.  We stopped at the drugstore.  Where I bought some diabetes testing materials.  We stopped at the post office on the way home.  We watched the last of Matlock and all of the Heat of the Night which is continued tomorrow.  Carol made a big batch of spaghetti for lunch.  It was very good. I ordered geranium seeds.   It rained some during the night and again in the afternoon.  I had more spaghetti for supper.  No pictures today.  There is a new channel seven TV show that we started to watch, but after about forty-minutes we changed channels.   We watched TV until we went to bed.

What Works

Same routine this morning as yesterday.  After breakfast I turned on the channel 44 programs.  lunch and supper were leftovers from our Sunday dinner three days ago.  

After lunch I walked out to greenhouse five.  I watered some of the plants in the greenhouse with the garden hose. The above photo shows a pepper plant that died.  It is a little green in the center of the picture.
It took me a while to figure out the photo.  It is the raised bed where I planted carrots last year.  I pulled two up.  One has several roots. It is on the left side of the photo.  Was going to mow up the leaves on the back lawn,  I walked out to the shed to get the lawmower. It was way too muddy.
I watered the pomegranate shrub with the garden hose.
The sun was shining on greenhouse five.  It was about seventy-five degrees.  I worked at getting my tablet to work correctly.  I wasn't successful.  We were going to the Timpanogos temple in the morning.  We decided not to go because there was a weather forecast for snow.   We watched TV until it was time to go bed.

Lap Top Fixed

After breakfast we watched the three TV shows.  I picked up the mail.  For lunch we are still eating left-overs.  I read the next chapter in The Book of Mormon.  I wasn't able to post it because my laptop computer is not working properly.  After lunch of more left-overs I called Dan Speakman to help me.  He took control of my laptop.   It took him about fifteen minutes to get it working properly.  I checked on the plants in greenhouse five.  

The temperature is about 61 degrees.  I took me a long time to post the above photo.  The show we watch will not be available until ten thirty.  We watched until we went to bed.

Watered Plants

It was late when we went to bed last night.  I had a good rest and didn't get up until 6:20. I weighted, showered, and shaved.  I fed the cats and prepared breakfast.   I watered all the house plants.  I turned on the morning news. Carol got up, showered and fixed her hair.  After breakfast we watched the morning TV shows.  I got the mail.  The seeds that I ordered a week ago were there.  There was a little problem with the TV reception.  Lunch consisted of some of the food left over from yesterday.  After lunch I walked out to greenhouse five.

These are the pepper plants that Dustin, friend of Robert, planted a couple of days ago.  They upright and looking healthy. The were well watered.
Robert planted green arrow peas.  I turned on more water yesterday.
Late this afternoon we took the house garbage to the dump.  More warm-ups for supper.   
Carol made some good custard pudding.  I planned on eating some Jello, but I was too full.  We watched TV until we went to bed.

There were three base singers, three tenor singer and four or five other women.  Our daughter, Lisa and her husband and Eric walked in just before sacrament meeting started. The speakers were good.  The Sunday schoolteacher was good.  Eric and Lisa brought a lot of food for dinner.  They prepared and cooked it.  There was a lot of food to eat.  After dinner they cleaned up and loaded the dish washer.   After dinner we visited.  Carol's friends and sibling called to wish her happy birthday. 

We took a few photos.  I should have taken some photos of us around the dinner table.  Lisa brought these ballons.
Lisa brought this birthday cake.  She lit the candles and Carol blew them out.

Timpanogos Temple

We went to bed pretty early last night.  We had to get up early for our temple appointment.  I slept pretty good last night.  It was about five thirty when we got up.  After showering I put on my Sunday suit.  I started the old fashion oatmeal mush, I fed the cats the last of the cat food.  I started breakfast of toast, eggs, and mush.  It was about 7:15 when we drove out of Holden.

The sunrise around Scipio was very colorful.
A little later I took this picture.  We had a good session.  
I was standing on the Batty driveway when took this picture of the Mount Timpanogos. There is a lot of snow on those mountains.
I took this picture of the Lindon temple which is under construction.  We stopped at Sam's Club for groceries and cat food.  We bought a few other things.  I asked a couple of computer specialist to see if the could fix my phone.  I am not able to call anyone, and no one can call me. They weren't interested in fixing it.  They wanted to sale me a new phone.  We then went to the Payson Walmart. Two clerks worked on the phone for quite a long time.  They finally fixed it, I called Robert. He answered. We then started for home. We stopped at the Mavric gas station and bought gas.  We then drove the rest of the way home.  We picked up the mail.  It was a little after four when we parked the car in the garage.  

We watched TV until we went to bed.
