Left Church Early

Sunday morning went as usual.  Richard was up and gone this morning when I got up.  I turned on the radio and fed the cats.  We went to church and set the third row as usual.  The meeting went as usual.  There was a couple of speakers. I passed out and Richard and another person helped me walk to the foyer.  It was there I received a blessing.    I was loaded on the ambulance and was taken to the hospital in Fillmore.  The nurses did a lot of tests.  I was put in a room.  There were more tests.  I stayed in the hospital night.  I watched a couple of shows on TV and part of a football game.  I didn't sleep much.  This morning, I watched the morning news.  Carol came.  My doctor said I could go home.  Carol fixed my breakfast.  I then showered and put on clean clothes.  Some of my friends came to see us.  Others called.  Lisa called, 

Saturday

My SAMSUNG woke me up this morning right on time which was 6:20. I have been trying to make it work and this is the first time it has.  I turned on the news and started making mush.  I then fed the cats.  Richard left this morning before I got up.  After I made my three bowels of old fashion oatmeal mush, I discovered there were two bowels in the fridge.  There is not a decent news cast on Saturday mornings, so we left it on the local news.   

We made pizzas out of the food that Lisa left from yesterday.  I made the one in the above picture.  

After lunch I mowed the lawn, or I should say, I mowed up the leaves,  The lawn mower started right up.  I dumped the baskets two times.

I wore this Christmas present while I mowed up the leaves on the backyard lawn.  Even though it was cold outside, I was warm.  We watched football this evening and then watched the BYU cougars play the Colorado buffalos.  BYU won.

Double Family

The morning started pretty much as usual.  I did get up at 6:20. Carol was up a little later.  After breakfast we watched the morning TV shows.  We are expecting company.  Carol mopped the kitchen floor, and I started to vacuum the family room.  My ear buds were on the floor, and I vacuumed up which stopped the vacuum.  I removed seven screws, so I could remove a part to remove the cords.  I couldn't remove it, but a was able to remove the cords.  I put screws back in and finished the vacuuming. Robert and Jeanne came and brought us Christmas and a birthday present for me.  I forgot to get pictures.   Carol gave Robert some money.  They drove to Fillmore and got hamburger sandwiches and fries for lunch.

Richard came and I got this picture of him in the reclining chair.  A while after lunch Lisa and Eric came.

They brought all of the ingredients for small pizza pies.  We took some dough, worked it until thin and then put toppings on it, and then put it in the oven. These homemade pizzas tasted really good.

Carol and Lisa. Lisa and Eric are so good to us.  They brought us Christmas presents.

Family

We loaded all of the Christmas presents in the car.  We stopped at the post office and picked up the mail.  It was about 8:30 when we left Holden.  It was about 10:30 when arrived at the buffet.  Lisa and Robert soon arrived.  The following picture shows family members.  Starting on the left:  Derick, Melisa, Lisa and Eric.  One right is Merrill, Carol, Robert, and Jeanne.

  We stopped at Emlies home and gave her the presents for her family.  We then drove home.  This evening Richard came.  He will spend the weekend with us.

Timpanogos Temple

We were up early this morning making preparations to go to the Timpanogos temple.  It was nearly seven when we drove out of Holden.  There were places where the traffic was heavy and other places where there was not as much traffic.  After a good session we took Miles and Nyleen back home.  Carol changed clothes and we headed home.  Nyleen made us a sack lunch.  I put most of it on my homemade tray.  We began to eat it when the traffic was lighter.  We didn't stop until we got to the Holden post office.  At 3:45 Karen Bennet cut my hair.  We had a light supper.  and watched several Christmas programs on TV.

Quick Trip

After breakfast we jumped into the car and drove to Linden, Utah, where Carol's sister Nyleen Batty lives.  Carol took her a case of half pint Mason jars.  Another reason was to buy presents for family and friends.  We then drove to the LDS store.  Carol bought some Christmas presents.  We then went to Sam's Club and bought more Christmas presents, after that we went to Walmart and bought more presents.  I think that we walked up and down the aisles of the store.  Some a couple of times.  It was a little after two when we got home.  I made some address labels while Carol wrapped a present.  We took them to the post office to have them mailed.  We have a lot of other presents to wrap    One of our neighbors brought us some treats that her husband made and some raw honey from their bees.  Carol had a present for her and some currant jelly.  Lisa called.    I was having trouble with Samsung device. I worked on it for over and hour and still didn't get it to work right.  It is pretty amazing.  It contained all of the conference talks.  I can read them or listen to each conference speaker and there is a lot of other things on it,

The Sabath

After breakfast I put on my Sunday church clothes.  Carol drove me to choir practice.  There was a large group there.  After practice I went into the chapel and set with Carol.  There were two speakers.  A return missionary who did a good job and bore a strong testimony of the Savior.  A member of the stake high counsel spoke as well. who bore a strong testimony of the savior, we watched TV most of the afternoon.
