Today, Saturday, is the end of January. This morning a little after breakfast we drove Fillmore and bought a bag of lay pellets. We then filled the car with gas at LOVE'S. After that we then drove home. Carol made two hot dog sandwiches for lunch. This afternoon I opened the bag of lay pellets. Richard came this afternoon and had supper with us.
I write all most every day of what goes on in our home in the garden and in the nursery. We are ordinance workers at the Manti Temple on the Tuesday morning shift and the Saturday evening shift. In addition there are several trips to Utah county a couple of times a month and a few short trips to other mountain west areas. Our family is most important to us. All of our children live in Utah except one who lives in Kentucky.

The Market
I fed the cats and made a batch of old fashion oatmeal mush. We had to watch the cat food to prevent the dogs from eating it. Later I watched in the front room. If I saw the dogs coming, I would be able to scare them away. They didn't come.
This morning, we drove to the Fillmore market for some groceries. After we got home, Carol made some grilled cheese sandwiches for lunch. I was tired of sitting in the family room I went for a walk the yard.

It Worked
It was a little warmer this morning when I got up. After breakfast watched the mor TV shows. After lunch I went out to greenhouse five, the furnace had come on during the bight. This afternoon we drove up and down, that is east and west every street in Holden. This early evening, we fed the cats. We could see the dogs, so I got a chair and set on the driveway so I could watch the dogs who were across the street. I came in the house and set on a chair in the front room. If the dogs came over, I could see them and scare them away. The owner of the dog came and he locked them up. We were going to meet with April in the morning. She called and said that kids were sick. We will go on another day,
