Blogging at Last


Since Jeanne is home for Thanksgiving I decide to seriously start a blog since I enjoy reading all of the family blogs!  She is my blog tutor.  So it has been a very interesting and unique Thanksgiving.  Jeanne came from Logan on Wednesday even though her original plan was to come on Tuesday.  But due to a storm she decided to wait.  Jeanne and I baked pie and pumpkin roll after she came in the afternoon on Wednesday.  My last day of work was on Tuesday in the Jr. High lunch room.  Grandpa has been off work since July due to a torn rotator cuff on his left arm.  But we are now seeing progress with the rotator cuff healing.  So Grandpa does exercises every day to break up the scar tissue in his arm as he has been instructed to do by his Kineseologist (Dr. Gurney) in Orem.   
Marvin and Ariane came on Thanksgiving Day during the morning and visited.  It was fun because everyone is so busy we don't get together much.  Then they left and went to have Dinner with Lindzee's Mom's and Dad.  Devin and Marianne went with the Clayburn's this year.  Jeanne, Grandpa, and I finished preparing dinner.  After we ate the three of us went for a two mile walk back and forth over our road.  Then we watched a movie Jeanne had brought with her.  The day after Thanksgiving Marvin came and strengthened the anti-freeze in Jeanne's car.  He also changed the oil in our Taurus (Ford).  Then Jake Price and his Brother-In-Law Dannon came and helped pull the pump out of our well.  It has been acting up lately, and needed help.  After pulling it out Grandpa decided he had better go to Vernal and buy a new pump at LOWE'S.  They put the pump back in, and it pumped water.  Marvin had to go work on a truck at work.  After they left the multibreaker kept turning the pump off.  Grandpa decided it was shorting out down in the well, and they would have to pull the pump out again.  So we ended up with no running water for almost two days.  Marvin, Jake, and Dannon came back on Saturday and pulled the pump out again.  Grandpa went to Vernal again in the morning before they came back to buy some new electrical wire to replace the old wire going down to the pump.  They pulled it out and fixed it putting it back down the hole in only an hour or an hour and a half.  We are soooooooooooooo thankful for runningggggggg waterrrrrrrrrrr!
Jeanne helped me take apart some bed's downstairs, and move some other things so we can get our new heating system put in.  She also discovered some Missionary Treasures!
