Pretty Dull

Showered, read scriptures, then waited for Carol to get up.  A different breakfast this morning.  Bacon and eggs.  Some scrambled and some over hard.  I worked at the computer this morning on printing address for our Christmas letters.  After I got the mail, I got a couple of photos of the new house on the cemetery road.

This is the south side of the house.

This is the north side of the house.

This afternoon I got pretty bored so I took all the food that was in the fridge and put it on the table and counter.  I marked the location of each shelf with a black marker and washed the front and back of each one.  The shelves were pretty dirty with food spills.  I also cleaned the butter shelf in the door.   There was an opportunity for photos and I completely forgot.

We ate all the left over food for supper, so the fridge is pretty bare.

Most Unusual Day

 Richard left after breakfast for his appointment with his hernia surgeon.  About an our later I took Carol to physical therapy session.  I left her at the Revere health building.  First I went to the drug store to get her medication.  

I was looking for a Dewalt hand sway.  They didn't have one at Ropers.  But they had similar one by Ace hardware.  I bought it and I think that it will be okay.  I lost my Dewalt saw.

I parked in front of Deardon auto for about fifteen minutes  to read the Hyundai instruction book.  I wanted to know why the engine light came on.  I then went in their shop and was greeted by, "how is your car doing".  That started a conversation which ended up with a electronic testing the car.  They removed a dirty spark plug and then replaced all of them.  It took longer than I thought.  I had them call the Revere building.  Carol was finished and I told them that would be there in about twenty minutes.  I picked up Carol and she had waited for about twenty minutes.

We then came home.  The car run a lot better with the new plugs.  Richard got home before we did.  With our car trouble, he came looking for us.  At home I worked at the computer updating our Christmas card labels.

Richard went to Santaquin to meet, his daughter, Emily and his grandkids.  The were late getting there.  He got home around seven.

Washed the Sheets

I was up early this morning showered and read from the Book of Mormon.  Carol was up later.  She had a good rest.  I told her that we should wash the sheets Monday morning.  She said, we will wash them now.  I had made the my bed, so I pulled off the sheets and the pillow cases and put them in the washer.  We washed mine in the first batch and Carol's in the next batch.   I watched a couple of wood working shows, which were reruns.  

I made my bed first. It took me quite awhile.  I put the bottom sheet first and had to go back and forth from side to side until I got it right.  The pillow came next.  The top sheet was much harder.  Back and forth from side to side again.  The then blankets next.  

I did the same on Carol's bed.  Hers was harder,  I picked up the mail.  It was soon time for lunch.

I made me a salad from some left over salad mix.  I put in the salad peas, pickled red beats, raisons, two boiled eggs.

Late this afternoon I took the house garbage to the dump.

Power Outage

 I woke up early this morning.  I looked at the clock and it was dark.  I remembered that their was to be a power outage.  It was really dark.  I walked carefully to the family room and turned on the battery operated light switch.  Carol was awake.    I left the light on and went back to bed.  Later I woke up and the clock was on. It wast a little after four.   I turned on my phone.   I reset the clock.  I looked out the window and the lights from house two were off.   The furnace in house two had been off for two to three hours.  I was afraid that the hemp plants were frozen.

After breakfast I walked out to house two.  The furnace was going, but blowing cold air.  I got my ladder to see if the piolet light was burning.  It was.  I turned off the switch that went to the furnace.  The furnace went off.  I turned it back on and still blowing cold air.  I went to the house for a few minutes and came back and turned the furnace back on.  There was nothing.

Carol had an appointment with her therapist at nine.  So we hurried to Fillmore.  On the way, I called Shane to have him and Dustin to come to Holden to fix the furnace.  I helped Carol out of the car and into the Revere building.  I left and called Shane again.  He was in St George.  I then drove back to Holden.  House two was warm.  I touched the heat exchangers and they were warm.  I then drove back to Fillmore.  I took two large lamp bulbs back.  I went into the Revere building and set by Carol where she was doing her therapy session.  We stopped at the Fillmore Market.  I bought a few groceries and came home.  I also filled the car with gas while there.

Dustin Smith and Tristen were working at the greenhouses.  I thought that he fixed the furnace, but he didn't.  It seemed to fix itself.

A fuzzy photo of the inside of house four where Dustin and Tristen planted new hemp plants.

There was a crew of people cutting down trees east of us and up the lane.  The above picture and the ones below shows some of what they were doing.  

Some old paper boxes attached to a power pole.  One for the Deseret News and the other for the Salt Lake Tribune.

Wellness Test

 My wellness test was at 9:30 this morning.  I didn't eat thinking that I might have a debates test.  I spent most of the time comparing the first chapters of Genesis and the Book of Moses.  I copied the verses form each book side by side.  Some were identical; others had a few difference; and there were a few the differences were lengthy.

I then drove to Fillmore to the Revere building.  doctor Gross changed my prescription a little.  He wanted me to double up on one of m diabetes pill.  I was there about an hour.  I got on the freeway at the south end of Fillmore.  I got up to eight and then turned on the cruse button.  About two miles north of Fillmore then engine light came on and the cruse went off.  I had about five more miles to get to Holden.  I put the car in neutral and a few minutes later the car stopped.  The engine was still going. I turned on my caution light and slowly made my way to Holden.  I called Dearden's to come and get me.    The car went okay and the engine light was off.  I called Dearden's again and cancelled the pick up.  I thought that I would drive the car to Fillmore and have the mechanics take a look at it.  I drove on the frontage road and put the car on cruse at seventy-five MPH.  I Turned around and came home.  I prepared my property taxes and put them in the mail at the post office;

I mentioned some pain medication for Carol to doctor Gross.  He wanted me to have Carol call him and he would do a phone exam.  Late in the afternoon he called.  He called a prescription at the drug store.

An Unusual Day

 I prepared checks and papers before we to go to Fillmore.  I  went to three banks and made a deposit

I went out to the nursery.  One of the guys is putting poly on the north end of house two which will help keep the greenhouse a little warmer. 

I borrowed the wheelbarrow and moved most of the compost out to the garden.  The pile is gone.  There are a few wheelbarrows full left.  Some is frozen and the rest can be scraped off the ground.  I started this afternoon and worked there for nearly two hours.

Carol had an appointment for physical therapy at 3:45.  I drove her to Fillmore and helped into the Revere building.  I left and got nearly to main street when the phone rang.  It was a Fillmore number.  I pulled off the road.  It was Carol.  They didn't have her appointment written down.  I went back and picked her up.  We stopped at State Bank of Southern Utah where I made a deposit and where Carol got a bunch of twenty dollar bills for Christmas presents.  We then went to the Credit Union where I make a deposit.  The next stop was at the Fillmore Market where I got a few groceries.  Carol waited in the car.   

Richard left early this morning for Springville.  He is going to drive to Parowan with a friend. He will get a truck there and drive to California.  He is out of work now and this will give him a chance to make some extra money,

Quick Trip to Nephi

Richard took off early this morning.  He went west of Meadow looking for obsidian.   He didn't find any.  While he was gone, Carol and I went to Nephi.  She Had an appointment at 11:45 with dr. Holman who operated on her knee two weeks and one day ago.  We were about forty-five minutes early.  We waited in the car for ten minutes or so.  I should mention that Carol gets around with a walker.  I put a pillow in the car then she would slide into the car.  The pillow makes it easier for her to get out of the car.  We waited at the hospital for an half hour.  We then went in and spent five to ten minutes with the doctor.  He took off her bandage.  He said that her knee was looking really good, but it would take some time before she would be free of pain.  Her next appointment is January 5 at 11:45.

I called the Mountain Valley seed company about returning the seed that I ordered.  I ordered six packets of geranium seeds that were the same.  They emailed me a label.  I put the seeds that I didn't want and sealed it shut with tape. Then using packing tape I taped the label on the shipping envelop.  I took it to the post office.  It was a UPS label.  I was told to take it to Fillmore.  Instead I took it to the transfer station at the south end of Holden.  They took care of it.

I looked in on house two which well covered with to layers of poly and full of hemp plants.

This afternoon I hauled more compost to the garden.
