MARILYN'S POST - AGAIN

Hi Folks,

Back again.  According to the weather we may be getting wind (that's here), rain,  sleet and maybe snow. We also may lose our power.  So if I am not here, you will know why.

I have heard this before, but it hasn't gotten that bad.  So I am not sure if it will or won't.  But just in case, Pierre and I are prepared.  We will move into the Tower apartments across the street.  They have a generator and we don't. 

So just in case.

OSPREY DURING WIND AND SNOW

Recently we had wind and snow.  I went out to see how the osrey were doing.  Here are some pictures.

MARILYN'S MESSAGE

Hi Everyone,

Here is the situation.  My computer did not work all day yesterday.  I couldn't get on it.  Something was wrong with logon.  Of course, my computer lady, is on vacation until April 24th.  She deserves a vacation, believe me, but my computer always breaks down when she is on vacation.   So I called and left a message on her cell phone.

When I didn't hear from her and I go crazy without my computer.  I have one of those situations that it's not that I want to use my computer all the time, but to know I can use if I want to.  So this morning, I decided I couldn't stand it any longer.

:I found directions and I don't know how I did it,  but any way they said to go to the discs that came with computer and look for one that says repair.  I have lots of discs, but no repair.  On the computer I went to network.  No luck.  Finally I went to computer and fooled around in there.  I don't know how I did it, but I got back on.

Now, here is how things are right now.  Obviously I have it working.  I don't know if I fixed and it will last or not.  Now, if you don't hear or see anything from me, you know I'm off and am working on getting back on again.

I just found out that my computer lady is getting married this weekend and they are going on their Honey Moon.  That is also why she took the vacation.

Just want you to know.

Marilyn.

ELMER AND ANNA ARE BACK !!

Anna and I are back from Florida.  We have been back since before Easter.  Bishop Eli had to be back for Good Friday, so we came back with them.

Anna was worried if we would have any food in our house when we got home.  Before we left we cleaned out everything that would spoil while we were gone.  Anna went so far as to start the grocery list while we were on Amtrak on the way back.

When we got home, the cupboards, refrigerator, and every place else in the kitchen was full of food.  All of our children, neighbors, and friends filled us with dinners and groceries.  When Anna started checking off the list, she had made - all of them were there.

Some of the casseroles we found, from the children, were their favorites, maybe not ours.  Anna and I decided it was because it was their silent way of saying invite them to our house for dinner.  So on Easter Sunday, we had all our children and grandchildren over for dinner.

When talking with Bishop Eli, he laughed and said he and Emma found the same thing in their kitchen, too.  Casseroles the children like were in their refrigerator, too.  We invited Eli, Emma and his family for Easter, but one of their daughters had arrangements for their family at their house. So they went there.

Oh, I almost forgot.  David, Jean's husband, called and told us that our our freezer, at their place was full of meat.  Before we left we used as much meat there as we could, so it was almost empty.  Anna and I went to see David and Jean and also checked out what was in our freezer.  While we were gone, our children filled it back up for us.  At least, our children won't let us starve.  We thanked all our children at Easter dinner.

Right now I am itching to start plowing.  All the tools, horses and equipment are ready to go.  I did plow part of one of our fields the other day, when it was snowing.  The snow was coming down and melting when it hit the ground.  I saw Anna shaking her head at me.

We are glad to see harvesting done in the fall.  We are tired.  We want a rest.  But, come Spring, we can't wait.  We are ready to go.  Well now, we are ready to go.

Trust God's Wisdom,
Elmer

ANTIQUE CARS

These pictures were taken at Canal Town last fall.  Antique Car shows are in the Spring and Summer in New York State.

Hope the weather clears up.  I have to get out to take some new pictures.  I am running short.
