Saturday, May 9 2009.

Another week is almost gone and the weather here is really great. Today I cleaned most of my tools out of the basement of the trailer and all of the sundry items that go along with this kinda stuff, which means, nuts and bolts, screws, nails, etc etc, and I repaired one of our canvas chairs. We then went into Mike's back yard and Jeri did what she likes to do most, and that is putting Shepard hooks in the so that stuff can be put around yard that reflects the sun, and a lizard that is crawling up the barrel that is hooked up to a pitcher pump; if you don't know what a pitcher pump is go the story of my youth. While we were doing this Mike and Christian was pulling weeds, cleaning tables and benches, the grill and the eating tables and the umbrella over the table.

While we were doing these things; Coal, their dog, escaped and as of this writing hasn't been apprehended as of this writing which is about four hours from the time he went missing, and Christian is very sad because of him being gone. It is my hope that one of the neighbor kids will find him and escort him home and I'm sure that Marin will be upset also.

Keven & Becky came out to see Jeri this afternoon and brought her a gift and stayed an hour or so, which was really nice, and then they boarded their motorcycle and went home.

For some reason the time stamp on this blog is about one hour different that what time here, it appears that it my be Pacific Standard time. That's all for now.

This morning was rather uneventful, however, shortly before noon we went to the hospital for Jeri to have a blood draw for her INR test. After that was finished we went to the temple and did some initiatory work, which took about an hour and a half. We then came home and watered the plants and other sundry foliage. The weather is still bodacious, that is just to annoy Temaire'.:) It is 65 degrees as I write this epistle, which is just the way I like it. I will publish Jeri's INR in the comments section.

Here it is Wednesday evening and the weather is bodacious. I arose rather late, about six-thirty and then I do what I do best. Shortly after noon we went to the Humanatarien Center and did our usual thing, however, I folded about twice as many diapers as I did last week; I must be getting the hang of that process. While I was doing the diaper thing Jeri was busy quilting with a couple, and you know what my meaning of couple is, women. I overheard her talking to a woman who claimed to be a Warner and Jeri got her to admit that she was from the Warners' that are from Utah County, which means they are part of the inferior strain.:) That about sums-up my day.

Here's hoping that tomorrow will be as good as today was.

Fifty years ago my sweetheart and I were hitched, meaning that we were a team, to use a farmer reference :) and we have been pulling together since that day; I wouldn't be whole without her.

I arose rather early but not too early to get 'my' work done; I had it done about ten o'clock and then I read the paper and checked the obits to see if I am still alive and i discovered that Jeri will have to contend with me for at least another day or two; I hope that we will have some more years on this earth. You can tell were are really getting old because we are going to celebrate by staying home.

What is great about this computer world is I can do this blog and listen to Josh Groban at the same time. We received a very sweet email from Scott wishing us a very good day.

Unless there is some of great report this is it for today.

It is now 4:32 pm and nothing much has happened today that is of any consequence but I will make a report any way. I made a loaf of bread; it sure seems to me that we work our way through a loaf rather quickly, I guess I'll have to stop making it so it tastes so good, oh, I can't do that, it is not in my nature not to do my very best at whatever I do.l0l

The rain kissed the flowers this morning and they look really good as do the lawns. The weeds I sprayed the other day are turning brown and trying to cover their heads in shame; it is a good thing they are responding to the first shot or I would have to do it again. It has always been my motto to do it right the first time.:) Don't touch that dial because I'm coming back tomorrow.

SATURDAY: Was a very uninteresting day, except for the three hours we spent with Kevin and Becky; we were invited to their place for pizza and and a movie, to celebrate my birthday, and we had a great time. It rained rather hard on the way to their place and was still sprinkling on our way home.Well, maybe it was more interesting than I thought seeing that I arose shortly after five AM, don't ask me why, it just seems that after 7 or 8 hours in bed I need to get on my feet.

SUNDAY: Today was much more interesting to me. Church was a typical Fast and Testimony meeting, which means some people did indeed bare a testimony and it seemed that a couple got up so we could hear them talk.:( Sunday School was great; Sister Gardner gave a good lesson but she can't come close to Mike as teachers go, and I'm not just saying that because he is my son, and Priesthood meeting was excellent; Bob Kime is a great teacher and I always tell him so, I want him to know that I don't harbor any animosity toward him anymore.

While I was trying to listen to one of those who bare their testimony every month my mind started to wonder and I went back to my pre-earth existence and reminisced about the conversation that I might have had with Father. It went something like this; I promise that I will do everything You want me to, and He replied "no you won't!" "However, I have a plan so that you can still come back and live with Me forever; I shall supply a Savior that will take upon Himself all of your sins if you will repent of your sins, or there is a better way even than that, and that is for you to not do anything wrong but I know you won't be successful at that so be sure that you repent of all sins. I want you to return to Me so be sure to do what you are told." I know that I didn't do the first thing He suggested so I must avail myself of the offer to place my burdens on His shoulders.

This afternoon the weatherman put on a short show for us, we had lightning and thunder for a minute or two and then the storm was gone, which was a good thing. Mike and Maren are still in Las Vegas, it will interesting to hear what they did today.:)

Oh, by the way, I lost my blog out in never-never land but some diligence I finally found it; I always wonder where things go to hide from me.
