Two Evevents

 

Everything this morning was pretty normal. I watered all of the indoor plants. We had breakfast. We watched some of the morning shows. I started cleaning all the stuff that was on the table in the little bedroom. There was an old computer, a printer, a TV monitor and various extension cords. I called Dan Speakman and asked him if he could take. I put them in the car trunk. This afternoon drove to his shop in Fillmore. We put all of it on his front porch. Later this afternoon we put the house garbage in a big garbage bag and loaded into the trunk. We were going to take it to the trump. We drove around town for a while. We went up and down the streets. We drove back home. We drove into our driveway, a friend of our dove his tractor with his tiller into the north garden. All of the following pictures are of our friend and his tractor except one second from the end.

This is the table that I cleaned up in the little bedroom.

This a picture looking west after he had finished the tilling

Fast Sunday

 

I slept pretty good during the night. I woke up four times. I got up this morning and put the roast in the slow cooker.

Funeral

My alarm didn't go off this morning, so I was a couple minutes late getting up.  I showed, dressed and watched the morning news. and a couple of the woodworking shows. I fed the cats and we then had breakfast. I put on my suit and later went to church for the funeral. The funeral was for Ryan Clark Bennett.  He is the son of Ted and Karen Bennett. She has a barber shop in her house. She takes care of our hair. Carol didn't go because she was sick. I went through the line and expressed our condolences. I then waited in the chapel. I went home and watched the service on my laptop. The services were good. Carol made grilled cheese sandwiches and pork and beans, Tonight we had frozen dinners. It has been another hot day.

To Fillmore

I watched the morning news. I fed the cats and we had breakfast. After the morning shows I picked up Elisha and drove to Fillmore. We got some groceries and I took Elisha to her house. drove to Fillmore. Carol called Lisa and they talked for some time. Carol mentioned our fruit trees that are blooming now. Lisa wanted some pictures. I walked around the yard and took four pictures and posted them on Face Book. The plants germination trays should have been watered. They look light they are dead. I should have watered this morning.

Wednesday

 

Carol went to the doctor this morning. She hasn't been feeling well for a couple of days. Her appointment was at 11:30. We were there plenty early. After a while a nurse took us into the exam room. Later the doctor's assistant came in and checked heart and her lungs. We stopped at the drug store for her medication then went home and had hotdog sandwiches.

Fixed Leaking Pipe

Everything was pretty normal this morning.  I decided to replace the coupler.  I dug the old coupler out and drove to Roper's to get a replacement part. 

The seeds in the germination tray are coming up. 

I replaced the broken pipe.

I cut out the broken piece.

This is the old cupler that I cut out. I took it to Roper's and got me a new piece.

Really Fixed

 

The shower curtain fell down last night. This morning I fixed it up a little and was able to shower before it fell again. I fed the cats and made batch of old fashion oatmeal mush.  I started the roast in the slow cooker. I scrabbled two eggs and then fried an egg for Carol. Richard got up. I fried two eggs for him. I then made some tapioca pudding. I went to church. Carol and Richard didn't go because they were sick, Sacrament meeting and Sunday school were good. Carol fixed a good dinner. Richard didn't eat any dinner. Before Richard left we fixed the shower curtain rod so it will stay in place.

We took some electrical wire that was used for the telephone and wrapped it around the shower rod and taped it to the wall. We used several layers of duct tape. The photo is of the left shower wall. We did the same to the right shower wall.

Shower Curtain Fixed

Richard was gone when I got up. When he returned, he said that he had to go back to work to fix a problem.  I was able to shower by carefully getting the tub. I showered and then carefully got out of the tub. I dressed and watched the morning news; I fed the cats and fixed breakfast. I picked up the mail. Carol made cheese and baloney sandwiches for lunch. Richard helped me fix the shower curtain so it won't come down.

I checked on the plants in greenhouse five. The fig bushes have been growing leaves. But today I saw several of the bush with small young green figs.

Many of the seeds in this germination tray are beginning to germinate. The cucumber and topaz melon and watermelon seeds are germinating. I planted more potatoes in greenhouse six. I watered the with two buckets of water.

Two boxes for Richard came a couple of days ago. He worked part of the afternoon putting it together. The boxes contained a small tent, matres, pillow. It has a long zipper. 

With the warmer weather, we are expecting hummingbirds. Carol prepared the sugar water. This is on the west side of the front porch.

This is on the eastside of the porch. It is a black and white photo because it was cloudy when I took the picture.

Shower Curtain

Last night when I went to bed the shower curtain had fallen down, I took to the family room to keep out of the way. This morning when I got up I put the show curtain back up and was able to shower. As soon as I finished, it came down again. I watched the morning news. I fed the cats and fixed breakfast. We watched the morning TV shows. Carol left for her exercise class. I went back to my bathroom and after several tries, the shower curtain is in place. I don't know how long it will stay up.

There was a potato in the pantry that was grow sprouts. I cut into four pieces yesterday and planted them in greenhouse six this morning.

Robert and Dusten

 

I was still eating breakfast when Robert came. I finished mt breakfast and then turned the power onHe had an extension cord hooked up to the compressor. He was going to start our tractor. It has been years since we had it running. It runs diesel fuel. Dusten brought his truck to the tractor to charge the tractor battery, The fuel filter leaked. They drove to Fillmore and got a new filter. They finally got it started, Robert drove it over to get the tree spade. Todd Troset had a tractor that could lift the tree spade and put it on the trailer. Todd was working on a ditch and couldn't come. Dusten backed his trailer and began to load it on his trailer, The got it loaded. Dusten secured it to the trailer and hauled it away. Robert then drove home.

I could have taken plenty of pictures but I only got one and I took this one after Dusten left.

The Docter.

A short time after breakfast we went to Fillmore where I had an appointment with a doctor. He tested me for several different things; He sent several prescriptions to the drug store. We stopped at the drug store and picked them up, we then got our mail, One of the pills had to be taken with. We had lunch a little later and I then swallowed my pill,

Lights Went Off

Day light saving ended early this morning. I got up and checked my apple tablet and it showed that we were on regular time. I thought that I would get up any way. It was really dark outside. I showered and started to make old fashion oatmeal mush. I fed the cats. Richard got up and soon Carol got up. We had breakfast. Richard got a phone call and didn't finish his breakfast until later. We went to church and as soon as we walked into east door the lights went off. Someone had a portable amplifier which was used by the speakers, The power came back on during priesthood meeting. We had most of our dinner. It was not cooked at all. Carol peeled and boiled and mashed the potatoes. She also fried some pork chops. After dinner Richard left. I watered the germination tray in house five.

The power was off in Scipio to Cove Fort.

Planting Seeds

It was a regular morning, except Richard was gone. After breakfast we watched the channel 7 wood working shows and cooking shows. For lunch we roast beef sandwiches. This afternoon I worked in house five planting vegetables and melon seeds. I cleaned all of the old potting soil of the heating mats, I plugged the extinction cord. The mat appeared to be on. 

I wrote the names of the seed on a a white stick label. I shake so much I couldn't read it. I took the seeds into the house; Carol wrote the name of the seeds on the white stick. They can be read. Richard came back. He has been fishing with his friends. We had supper.

Electric Fix

 

Carol made hamburgers for lunch. The tasted very good.

The night light in the bathroom would not come on. when I went to bed last night. I tried several things to get it to come on. It still did not come on. I tried several things this morning. I turned braker switch on and of several time, our neighbor across the road is a election. I thought he would be able to fix it. I found his phone number. Carol didn't want me to call him because he works with bigger power lines. I put a note on Face Book. About an hour later the phone rang.  He had seen the note and was soon at our door. He did several tests. It was an easy fix, He went right to work and soon fixed it. The problem was in Carol's bathroom. There was a switch on the west wall. It had been shut off. He turned it on. That fixed the problem in my bathroom. Carol plugged in her hair dryer, It worked. Richard gave him a $20.00 tip.

Richard has been here most of the afternoon. He fixed the blinds in the west window in the front room. It now looks new. 

Snow

 

Yesterday we had planned to the Mount Timpanogos this morning, the weather forecast last night was for snow. So we decided to stay home. I opened the front door and the sidewalk was wet. I showered, dressed and opened the front door. There was some snow on the front lawn, I made a batch of old fashion oatmeal mush. I fed the cats, We watched the morning news and channel 44 TV shows.  We had frozen TV dinners for lunch. I went out to greenhouse five. The snow had melted. It is quite cool outside.

Eagle Mountain

It was around 10:30 when we left for eagle mountain, we were to meet April and her family at her home in Eagle. It has been quite a while since we have been there. We missed the freeway exit. We turned around and got on the right road, We drove up and down many of the roads. I called April and Carol talked to her. She told her how to go. We finally pulled of the road. We called April again. April said that she would come and we could follow he to her home. We did that. April had prepared a lunch for us. Before we left we signed a paper. We also took some pictures of her family. 

Yesterday I planted the tulip bulbs in the kidney flower bed. I covered them with this wire basket.

This is not a very good photo, The light was not good. This of Carol and I with April's family.

This is a photo of April's children, 

We then drove home, we stopped at Nephi and got two large ice cream cones. Mine lasted until we got to the Millard County boarder. We drove to Fillmore where we filled the car with gas. 

 

Tuesday

I showered without the shower curtain. I had the water turned low and was able to shower and didn't get any water on the bathroom floor. Later this morning we picked up Alisha Bills and drove to Fillmore. We filled the car with gas and took Elishia to the drug store and Carol took me to Roper's where I bought a rod to hang the shower curtains, We then picked up Elisha at the drug store and went to the Fillmore market, We took Elisha home. We had leftovers for lunch. It took me a long time to unwrap the shower rod, It was tightly wrapped with clear plastic.  I put the shower curtain in place, Just after I left the bathroom and the curtain fell.  

The ruhbarb is barely coming up.

After many tries in the bathroom, the shower curtain is up, I had to put a short piece of duct tape below each end. That stopped the curtain rod from sliding down,

 every evening when it is getting dark, we close the blinds. Carol was closing the blind on the west end of the family room, and it came down.

This is a picture of the blind and the stained glass.

Quick Trip

Carol needed to have her hearing aids fixed. We left around noon.  We went to Costco's in American fork. After we got there, it didn't take long. We stopped at Wendy's for some food and drinks and we went straight home. It rained most of the way home. After we got home, I went into my bathroom. The shower curtain had come down. It was quite dirty caused by the hard water. Carol put it in the washer and then the dryer, We put it on the curtain rod. I finally got it to stay in place.

The frying pan on the patio with one half inch of water in it.

I put up the shower curtain; I tried to get it up into place many time. I finally got it right. When I went to bed, the shower curtain fell.

Robert was here yesterday, This is one of the peach trees that he pruned. 

Fast Sunday

This was a pretty normal morning, except I put a roast in the slow cooker, We didn't eat breakfast because it was fast Sunday. Carol wrapped potatoes and put them in the oven, Richard helped me make tapioca pudding.  My hand was so shaky that I couldn't measure properly, We got is cooked and put it in the fridge.  We attended our church meetings. A member of the bishopric talked to Richard, He called Richard to be a teach the ranch boys each Sunday, We had a good dinner. The tapioca pudding tasted really good. Richard left. We probably see him each weekend, there is a full moon coming up in the east.
