Fix Dish Washer

Richard left this morning looking for bob cats, coyotes, cottontail rabbits or any other animal of interest.  He found the rabbits west of Kanosh.  He didn't get back until lunch time.  Meanwhile, Carol and I had breakfast.   A little later we went to the Fillmore Market for groceries.  Carol drove and parked close to the door.  I helped her out and parked the car.  She pushed a shopping cart up and down the isles picking things that we needed and putting them in the cart.

We stopped at the post office where we picked up some mail and made a short drive through Holden.  We were home a little after ten.  Richard came home with three skinned rabbits.  He coated them with salt and pepper, and flour.  He fried them for awhile.  I ate one of the leg and thigh.  It tasted good, but was really tough.  I chewed on them for a long time before I was able to swallow them.  Carol wouldn't try them. 

I got a TIVO stream a week ago and proceeded to hook it up.  I followed the instruction and got it hooked up.  I followed the directions that was on the TV screen.  I quit and went back to the regular TV programing.  I wasn't able to finish.  Two rollers on the bottom rack in the dishwasher broke off.  We tried to bolt them back on but the bolts that we had were too small.  

I needed potting soil for the geraniums.  I called Steve Regan at the Delta office.  They didn't have any small bags of potting soil.  I considered going to Steve Regan in Spanish Fork.  Richard suggested that we go to the Fillmore Shell for the soil.  I called them and they had some.  We drove to Fillmore.

We got two bags at the Fillmore shell.  They were frozen solid.  We then went to Roper's and got a couple of bolts that seemed to be the right size.
We came home and fixed the bottom dishwasher tray.  The tray easily rolled in and out.

Supper was pancakes, eggs, sausage.

Two or Three Days

December 15, 2020 Tuesday

I didn't write anything the last couple of days.  I bought a new printer at the Walmart in Springville and when we got back about 3:30 and I spent all the evening trying to hook it up to my computer.  It had snowed the day before and on Tuesday morning it snowed again.  

Richard cleaned the snow of the driveway and front sidewalk. 
I cleaned a path for the chickens.
I don't remember why I took this photo.  It might be when Carol drove home, or when we got home from Provo.  A mystery. 
Monday evening, the primary borrowed our Joseph, Mary, and the baby Jesus from our outdoor nativity.  It was dark when they brought it back.  They set it back up and still looks good.
Walmart Tuesday We left about 7:30 for Provo.  We were meeting Lisa at the Provo Sam's Club at nine. We were there about 9:10. We bought a lot of supplies.  I looked at videos of the road conditions all to nearly all the way to Provo.  The roads looked good.  No snow but a little wet.  But it snowed all the way.  There were some places where it was somewhat scary to pass a truck or car or be passed by a truck or car.  We, Richard and I rode to the Springville Walmart with Lisa.  We ate a chicken sandwich on the way.  We were there a long time and bought a lot of presents there including a printer. I took this picture showing a razor, a small battery operated scooter.  

I got this photo with the new Wonder Woman.

We drove back to Sam's Club and said good-bye to Lisa.  I got a large calendar and then drove to Costco where I cashed in a $225.00 coupon.  We filled the car with gas and the to Harbor Freight to get a planer.  They didn't have one.   I was to get some potting soil at Steve Regan, but I forgot.  Richard drove the rest of the way home.
Home Tuesday Evening.  I took the printer out of the box and proceeded put it all together. I got it to print a pattern but that was all.

Wednesday morning we went to the Revere building where Carol was taking physical therapy.  She drove and also drove home. We had four packages to mail and I couldn't use the printer to print the address labels.  Carol had to write them on a large sticky label and I taped it to the boxes.  We took them to the post office and now they are one the way the intended recipients. 

I tried to take a picture of the addition that they are building an addition to the post office.  I got the selfie instead.  The photo of the addition was unclear. 
 

Dave Wood spent nearly an hour hooking my new printer to the desk top computer.  Thanks, Dave.

The Sabbath

Richard went after breakfast to Orem to see his daughter, Emily and his grandchildren.  It was [??] birthday today.  Carol and I prepared dinner.  She made a meatloaf, which have always been good.  I wrapped six potatoes with foil.  They were ready to put in the oven at eleven.

Sacrament meeting starts at ten.  At 9:45 I logged into ZOOM hooked up immediately.

We had a problem.  I hooked up the speakers and they worked only for seconds and quit.  The only sound we could here was from the lap top speaker and they were barely loud enough.  We could here most of the time, but the speakers did not talk directly into the mike we couldn't here.  Carol was on the couch with the laptop as close as I could get it.  I was sitting on a chair at the side of her and in front of the couch.  

The pan that held the meatloaf had a tinny hole.  All of the juice leaked out during the baking.  It tasted like fried hamburger.  We put catchup on it.

We watched a video on the last chapter in the Book of Mormon.

Snow Today

Was expecting snow this morning.  There wasn't and, but by nine it was snowing pretty hard.  There was snow on the lawn, on our driveway and on the road.  Carol was going with me to the post office to weigh and mail the Christmas cards to family members.   When she saw the snow, she didn't want take a chance of falling on the slippery steps.  I took the cards and she gave me instructions of just what to do.   Danny was salting in front of the post office.  I went inside.  There was no mail and it was dark behind the door.  I came home and called Tina Stevens who works there.  She forgot.  I asked her to call when she got there.  About a half hour later she called.  I went at elven after she had a chance to get the mail out.  Richard pushed the snow off the driveway and the front sidewalk.

We made chicken sandwiches for lunch.  I ate half of it and took the picture.  I then ate the rest of it.  Richard got the big stepladder and filled the bird feeder.

The Face Book page was interpreted by the Millard County chronicle to view the fire that was burning the Mercer building in Delta.  There was a live video report of the fire that lasted for over an hour.

I got one photo, but should have got one of the snow.

Family Christmas Card Stress

 After all the morning chores I took Carol to her Therapy session.  While she was there I got some glue at Ropers to glue the Santa Clause back into the cuckoo clock.  I picked up Carol's prescription at the drug store and and two boxes of Christmas cards.  Carol needed some cash and envelops for family Christmas presents.  We can't travel and spend time shopping and then the cost of mailing presents.  Then to the market for cat food and hamburger.   

I picked up Carol.  She wasn't ready, I waited with her for about twenty minutes.  We then came home.  It was about time for lunch.  Richard glued the Santa Clause to the clock window.  

I have pulled carrots for the last month in the raised bed.  It was really dry and the carrots seemed to be wilted some.  I uncovered the carrot and put on six sprinkler cans of water.  I pulled a three carrots.  They came up easy and seemed to be a little more crisp.  I washed them an put them in the fridge with some other carrots.  I covered them up and got the above photo.
I put up the Christmas lazier projector.  I went out after dark and it was working perfectly.  I had to put a block under the front edge of the stand.

I helped Carol the rest of the afternoon putting the money in money envelopes and then the mailing envelopes for our children and the grandchildren.  It got a little stressful keeping track of each each letter.

I called Marrie Anne to find out who we are gifting this year.  We modified the schedule some and it will be Karla and Jim.

Nothing Today

Showered, read from the Book of Mormon, and posted a #comment.  I cooked breakfast for everyone here.  I updated the Christmas card address list.  I took the Christmas cards to the post office.  I took Carol's books the the Book shed and got her five more.  I market the back of the ones that she has read with a small piece of masking tape.

I watched several boogie woogie videos.  I have enjoyed them.  We had taco soup again today.  It was better today than yesterday,  I could of taken some pictures today, but didn't think about it until it was to late.

Labels Finished

 I fixed breakfast of oatmeal much and eggs.  I dumped all of the coats and jackets in the laundry room and put them on the kitchen table.  There were so many of them that I could hardly hold them.  Carol went through them.  I put some in the DI bag and hung the rest of them on the hooks in the laundry room.

We then drove to Fillmore for Carol's therapy.  I left her there and went to Roper's and got two drill bits.  I then stopped at Sturet Eclectic for the new TV.  I decided not to get it.  I got an attachment to hook up to our TV.  I went to Dearden's to pay my bill there.    

I got a few groceries and then waited with Carol for about twenty minutes.  

This was her last therapy station.  She is finishing up with a cold pack on her knee.
This is a photo of the Revere Health building.

Carol made some good Taco Soup.  I had a large serving.

I finally got all of Carol's address labels printed.  It took a long time.  I get sleepy writing.
