Spring a Great Time Of Year

I was coming home from work today and it has been quite a difference between morning and evening. This morning I woke up to an inch of snow on the ground, but tonight I noticed the green lawn and all the trees are budding out with small leaves and the crabapple out front is getting ready to blossum. I really look forward to this time of year. It is so revitalizing to see everything come back to life. I hope this will be my last summer at work and next May I can retire and do some fun stuff like camping and yard work and other things. I am slowly preparing for this. We have our trailer and a couple of four wheelers and an atv trailer to pull them with. It is sometimes hard to believe that I have been working at the prison for 19 years already.

Lorilee and I are working on getting our temple reccomends so we can be sealed in the temple sometime. We hope this year. I am also still a family history consultant here in Gunnison and spend my Thursday nights there. I also schedule the stake center for people that want to use it and take care of the ward calendar. This keeps me busy when I am not working. I am excited about going camping and want to go up to Thousand Lake Mountain and camp around July 16th. It will be a lot of fun. I think a couple of my sisters will be there then also. Well I don't have much else to write about now but will add some more info later if I think of it.

It is a repeat of Last Year.

Well it has started all over again another year. It started out ok in a way because we went to St. George to help Dad set up a new computer and we had fun doing that. It was a nice visit and we also were able to see Dawny and Jeff although not near long enough. Dad's Computer set up but after we arrived home some time later he had to get another one as this one had gotten sick. Dad did a good job of setting it up the second time and I hope it is working ok for him now.

When we got back home from St. George the next day Lorilee calls me at work and says the basement is flooding. So when I got home from work I started pumping out the water trying to find where it was coming from. I just couldn't believe it was from the water heater because we had replaced it last year about this time. Well after much bailing and watching I discovered it was indeed the water heater. I spent Tuesday finding another water heater and getting it installed. We were lucky it was still under Warranty and we got this one for nothing except a few minor fittings we had to buy. We are now back up and running with hot water again and the basement is staying dry for now.

It has snowed here some this month and it has been white on the ground most of the time. I even had to use my four wheel drive on my truck a couple of times and it sure helped. I hope the year will start being better now. Not much else I can think of right now but will try to add some thing else when I think of it. Have fun everyone.
