Betty I think you will get a kick out of this……Remember I said my ears were ringing and just wouldn’t quit, its louder than I’ve ever had before. Well……….I was out by the open basement, where Joe has the pump hooked up to take the water out of the there. And I heard it! The pest controller Joe has down there to repel rodents. He has it turned all the way up I suppose because he can’t hear it down lower, and it emits a constant high pitched oscillating tone. …..Just as if your ears were ringing. And it goes on and on and on, day and night, ringing in your ears. It comes in every room through the heating ducts which begin …….down in the basement…..next to the pest repeller. I’ve asked him to turn it down next time he’s down there.
Joe’s out haying today, raked that hay that got wet, then baling, so it must be dry enough now. The rain probably just washed the dust off of it. Another very nice, but smoky morning. This smoke could be from the big fire that’s burning in central Utah perhaps, although that’s pretty far away. Or more likely another one near Reno. We don’t hear anything now except what is on the news. I had gotten where I enjoyed going to pinedaleonline to read the local news and if there are any alerts they would be on there.
I hope today they will be working on getting our phone fixed. It’s been out almost a week now. Dick came back over today and said he called the 800 number to report our phone being out and also talked to Sandy in Pinedale. He said he gave Sandy a bad time. Guess he got right on their case and told them we were an elderly couple that might need to call an ambulance, and we shouldn’t be here without a phone. Apparently lightning hit the tower on Mt. Airy in Pinedale so it didn’t happen on our end like we thought. They are working on it and the phone might be back on about noon. Thanks Dick. Sorry Sandy!!
I’m going back out to work in the yard until it gets too warm. I don’t know why I’m so surprised, but I am surprised at how much I can get accomplished without any internet. Maybe I should leave it broken, or perhaps have enough self control to only do a few hours a day and that’s it. I hate to think of the emails sitting there waiting for me though. It reinforces my decision not to be on the WAOW board again next term because that really takes a lot of time.
The first place I called was Joe’s heart doctor in Idaho, as about the time the phone went out the nurse was trying to call him with any changes or instructions. The doctor wants him to try a different dose on the medicine he’s taking just to see if it might help his dizziness. Then I copied his blood pressure reading records he’s been keeping and got that ready to mail to the doctor rather than read them all over the phone. After dinner I took the dogs and rode the ATV out to the mailbox to mail the letter to the Dr. and get our mail. Saw several bunches of doe antelope with their babies again.
Sheral called this evening and we finally got to visit, they have really been on the go. This weekend is the Green River Rendezvous and Sally and I have a booth reserved to sell her jewelry and my prints. I will only go one day, probably Saturday. I would like to go to some of the Rendezvous events too, so will see about that. Sally called tonight and we made a plan for our table together at the street fair. She will set up Thursday afternoon and sell her jewelry for the four days. I’m only going for one day.
What really made my day was that Esther Marie Versch had missed my blog and emails and called me, luckily a couple of hours after the phone was fixed. We had the nicest visit. I haven’t talked to her for years, but we have been emailing since both of us got computers. We have known each other as members in WAOW since the early days, and went to a lot of shows together. Lots of wonderful memories from a wonderful friend.
Wednesday we are having two couples to dinner. I’m thinking of making Melita’s bunillos and lasagna with salad and probably a chess pie. Two of the friends are diabetic so I’m going to try the pie with Splenda, and it should work fine. I think I did that once before. Or I could make strawberry ice cream with Splenda.
