a Hot Bath

October 29, 2011

It was cold outside today.  After I got home from my pre-op eye appointment, I turned on the fireplace, filled the tub, turned on the jets, and drifted off to another land.  So nice!

Up and Down the Road

September 9, 2011

Our road is a private road.  It is owned by Granite.  Trucks go up and down the road, to and from the gravel pit, all day long.  Gears shifting, breaks screeching, and the sound of the trailers bouncing off the axles, is like a constant song all day long.  The trucks run during the late Spring, through Summer, and into the Fall. We have got used to it.
    

Dirty.....Clean!

Steve's rock climber. It's amazing what a cleaning job will do. Now, on to the house!

Day 139 - Dandelion patch

May 19

I've been gone from home so long.... this is what I came back to. A dandelion patch!

Day 137 - Windmills

May 17

The ride through Spanish Fork Canyon is always so enjoyable. Recently, large windmills were placed at the head of the canyon to catch the wind.... altenative power. It is quite a site to see the massive arms spin slowly in a circle.

I stopped by Audrey's on the way home to see her and Alia. It seemed like such a long time since I had seen them. The tulips were in bloom.... beautiful!

Day 130 - pushing buttons

We push button 4.

We're HOME for the night!

Whew....what a day!!

day 119 - pretty bird

apr 29

The Bear River Bird Refuge is the perfect spot to sit for awhile! Pretty bird -- perched on dry willows in the marsh, soaking up the afternoon sun!

Day 111 - Shopping day

apr 21

Look at our big helper putting all the groceries on the counter for check out! We couldn't have done it with out you Alia! I think grandpa Dave is going to like what we picked out for his picnic send-off party.

Day 104 - Family Search

apr 14

Kelsey and I attended a "beginning" workshop on the "New Family Search" program, which was way over our head! We decided we needed to do some on-line classes before we attend anymore workshops.

Regardless of our experience, I am very excited about the new program and can't wait to learn more and get going!

Day 103 - So long... farewell!

apr 13

Yes, the camper is gone! It took several hours to load the old delapidated thing on the back of the buyer's truck (although it was free). I'm glad to get rid of it, but Dave was sad because his "pesticide shed" was gone.

I always thought Dave was "SUPERMAN"! Look at him push that camper on the back of the truck!

Day 98 - goodie bag

apr 8

Today was my 6 month dental check-up. I so look forward to it. I get my teeth cleaned and it feels so good! My teeth have been good for years. I floss about 3 times a week, but could use more diligence. The dentist sends me away with a goodie bag at every visit. My new toothbrush replaces my old one and I'm good to go again for another 6 months!

Day 91 - Joke's on who?

apr 1

Mother Nature pulled a big joke on us this morning! We woke up to 6 inches of new snow! Now, that's an April fools day joke!

Day 31 - my aching back!

mar 31

I've been raking up branches to the center of the rows of trees so Dave can pull them down into a pile to burn. My back has been aching! I've been thinking how nice it will be to have the Chiropractor work on my back in a couple of days!

Day 86 - Camper for sale!

mar 27

... or rather, come and get it out of here, and it's your's free! When I married Dave, he had this camper. We went camping in it a few times., but after we purchased our farm property, we put it out there as a storage shed. We've used it and abused it, and now we just want it gone! If anyone wants a camper, it's yours!

Day 85 - Working with Dave

mar 26

One of the benefits of Dave's work.... I get to go to work with him whenever I want. And I do a lot of that! I hadn't been to his office in quite a while, so today was a nice treat to see him work at the desk.

Day 78 - Eating out

mar 19

When Dave is gone I like to eat out. Today I was craving crustos from Taco Time. I got a sweet pork burrito and a coke, too.... yummm!

Day 77 - Thursday's ritual

mar 18

winding the Grandfather clock
