It is me again!

I know it has been a long time since I posted anything on my blog but my life is kinda of boring I think. I am getting ready to leave tomorrow for Provo as Lorilee is to get a new pacemaker. We will spend the night in a Motel so we can get to the hospital by 6:00 am. She will have to stay overnight on Monday night then we can come home the next day. I had a nice time about a month ago when we took Nadine for a ride over Nebo loop to look at all the fall colors.

Since I last blogged we have got our roof on the house replaced and we have new vehicles now. These are nice to have now. We got rid of the old cars and worked on the yard and been doing other boring stuff like that. Work has been going along steady and I am approaching my retirement which is great I can see the light at the end of the tunnel only less than a year and a half. The balcony was redone also on the house and I have all the stuff to build a new railing around it but that will have to wait till spring.

We everyone has a happy Thanksgiving and wish you all the best.

I guess I had better write something on my blog since I haven't in a while. I think I don't have anything worth writing about so maybe this will bore you all. We have all been bitten by the Farm Town bug and I have been busy working my farm and it seems like all the family is doing it. It seems to be very addictive. I can hardly wait to look each day and see what is ready for harvest and what I can give as a farm gift to others. It is all quite fun.

This last few days have been spent helping my wife and daughter get better from their flu fortunatly it wasn't the swine flu but they were still very sick and I stayed home a couple of days to help them out. They are both doing better now. I went back to work today and it was a long day. At least it is nice to have a job right now.

Our temple district is due to go online with the new Family Search so I got registered to use it. I hope it will clear up alot of double work that has been done for the same people.

I tried to get the lawn mowed for the first time this year but am still working on it as the tending of my sick ones took up alot of time. I still have half the back yard to do yet. I have yet to turn in the water for the lawn yet. I have a lot to do and my aching back doesn't help any. I have to quit every so often to rest the back. It seems like the weather is bad when the weekend comes around and that hasn't helped any either.

I hope we can get things ready and maybe take the trailer for a little camp trip this summer. I miss the hills and camping among the pines and trees. Cabin fever I guess.

Lorilee and I have plaved some Wii bowling and boy she can bowl on the game anyway. I have only won once when we have gone head to head.
Well I am going to sign off for now and say Good Night!

This My sister and I in South Phoenix in the 1950's.

This is a car at the car show last year and it looks quite close to the old one we rode in as kids. The one we rode in was blue though. I thought it was interesting.

I thought this was an interesting clip showed on TV. Listen and Watch for the picture and mention of his name.

What is with this Tag Stuff?

I don't quite know how this is supposed to work but I sure think it feels like homework. I don't do homework any more except to do honeydos. Incidently I had to do those yesterday and today. Our dryer went out the bearing was louder than anything else running. So we got a new one delivered to the house yesterday and I put it in and got it working. We also did some cleaning on the back porch and kitchen kind of early spring cleaning.

Now on to this tag thing.

1. I like to work on the computer google and internet stuff.

2. I like coming home from work. Does that count?

3. I like doing family history on my computer and have been trying to organize it so it all makes sense. I am a family history consultant at the Gunnison Family History Center on Thursday nights.

4. I also enjoy camping and I don't get to do that enough. Last summer when gas prices were so high we went to a family reunion on my wife's side and camped there for several days as it was only 30 miles away. After that we got us a little outdoor fireplace and spent several evenings just out in the back yard cooking hobo dinners or roasting hot dogs and Marshmellows things like that. We prefer to go up into the mountains and camp among the pine trees near water if possible.

5. I like listening to music watching videos of music mostly country and oldies. I like the doo whoop and 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's. I also mix my own cd's and play them. It takes me back to the good ole days and I just like the country songs don't know why.

6. I like watching movies. We have a pretty good size dvd collection and enjoy watching them. I like the action movies and westerns and comedys. I have the collection of James Bond movies and Clint Eastwood Movies and of course all the star wars and star trek I can get. Animated movies are fun also. The girls like the horror and mystery movies.

Hope this is good. I am through now and am going to do some other things now.

It's Been Three Weeks!! Really?

Ok so I haven't done a blog for a while sorry. I keep thinking my life is so boring you wouldn't want to here it. I mean after a long day of taking all the crap at work( you know unclogging inmate toilets) I don't come home and do much that is too exciting. Last week I had to change out my water heater. That was quite a moment. Moment! what am I saying it took Three hours to do and I am a professional plumber. My wife commented she was glad she didn't have to pay a plumber to come do it. Then one day last week I came home to an emptier yard as my wife instructed the power company tree trimmers who came to trim my weeping willow, she told them to go ahead and chop it all the way down. OOOOh Noooo!!! I didn't think I was a tree hugger but bye bye tree. Nothing else too exciting. I now have two years four months left before I can retire from the prison. Parole is a coming!!!! Well I will end this for now. I have got to charge some more double A batteries so I can take some more pictures. You know everytime you want to take a picture the batteries are dead. What's Up with that!!! Go Cardinals!!!!

It's soooo Cold here!!

Well we made it back from Sunny St. George on Dec 30 and enjoyed a couple of days of fairly warm weather before it started getting cold again. We got 3 inches of snow on Sat night and today we have recieved another inch today and it is still snowing now. It was seven degrees below zero today and nine below on Sunday morning. I have shovel my walk twice now and it needs it again now. St. George was nice. Thanks to Dad and Mom for letting us visit them. Mom always feeds us well and we had a nice time there. I went and watched Dad at work last Monday. He is doing really good. Nothing much else is happening here it is to cold to go outside very long. I put a new shelf up for Lorilee and also put a new doorknob on the bed room door that has a lever handle so Lorilee could open it easier. Now we need to get one for the front door and back door also but they will need to be keyed. I may even paint the bathroom later on this month. Hope everyone is having a good new year.
