Bonnie Configuring the Atomic Clock the Other Day (All the atomic clocks we'd bought updated the daylight savings time perfectly, so that was nice. And can't believe it's 5 p.m. already.) Up before 5 dst because Bonnie invited me to go to church with them today and I didn't want to be late. It was still so dark! Changed clothes three times trying to find something o.k. to wear. Found I had no slip for one or the other of my two skirts, no stockings, no dressy shoes that matched that would be good on the ice. So wore wool pants with a turtleneck and red blazer with boots. Looks like shopping for some clothes is in order. Sacrament Meeting started at 9 a.m. Even having nearly four hours to be ready, still kept her standing while I gathered up all my stuff and took pills. We stayed for Sunday School and Relief Society's lesson. I enjoyed it very much, and knew quite a few people. It was fun seeing so many I'd not seen for years, and others who are neighbors or friends. Afterwards Bonnie and Craig stopped in to say hi to Joe and then went on home. Their daughter-in-law Amy was at church but Cheyenne stayed home to babysit the two boys, one who isn't feeling very well.
Joe had gone out to the ranch early this morning to feed the cats, because there's supposed to be a storm coming in, so tomorrow might be nasty. As usual not sure how much it will amount to, but the wind is blowing again. Joe unloaded the snowmacine at the mailbox this time and snowmachined in to the ranch. He gave Sparky a ride, but Raven ran along. Sparky is about 12 or 13 now, and running a mile in the snow would be hard on him.
This afternoon I made some vegetable beef soup in the crock pot for dinner and we'll have some biscuits with it and fresh veggies and dip. It took longer to prepare than I thought it should. But also got the fridge cleaned out. Made a huge mess, so had to clean up the kitchen and filled up the dishwasher.
Just a while ago I stuck the photo card into the laptop and pictures came out just like they did on the old camera. Thanks to Sally, and also Cheyenne, who said I didn't need to download the camera software. It was with trepidation I stuck the card in for the first time. The photos go clear back to our last couple of days in Vegas and the trip home. So I have a big job editing and sizing them to get some on the blog now. I'm just so bummed out that I lost so many pictures of the trip on the old camera - all the ones of Red Rock Canyon disappeared in a flash. But guess that's life. So I'll let you know when I get some pictures with the older blogs.
Things that are not right with the house just keep popping up. I had it noticed earlier, but tried to clean the utility sink yesterday and the builders had something in there that has stained it and won't come off, though I tried scrubbing it again. The little toilet off the utility room has no nice covers over the bolts that hold it to the floor. It's like they just were in such a hurry that they never went back and really finished things nicely, or more likely just didn't care.
Betty called yesterday and we had our weekly chat. Takes us nearly an hour to catch up each time. Have a couple bills to pay later.
