     Darel is always comfortable, some days good, some days not so good.  He has a handicapped permit to hunt from the pickup so we spend some time sitting up in the corner of the field hoping a buck comes out to eat. Less time than I thought, after a couple of hours , even though we are in the t ruck, he tires and wants to come.  Yesterday was too cold and windy to go.  Today, Veteran's Day, he likes to go to the Olive Garden.  But I'm not strong enough to put the wheelchair back in the truck.  And I'm not sure i can help  him stand if he sits in a chair.  In church there is always someone to help him stand after the service.

      My computer and the internet have been a problem ever since the  storm.  the falling top from the pine ripped the wire to the shop and greenhouse out of the box.  Everything in the box is tightened up.  The internet company will put the wire back up some time this week.  Why the technician was here he looked at my computer.  He helped it some, the G drive isn't working, whatever that is.  Tiffany is home today.  I'll ask her to look at it.  She probably won't have time to work on it but she can give me advice.  I shut it off because the lights were flickering the day of the storm but I guess i didn't shut it down quick enough.

     Gilbert came down yesterday morning and put everything down cellar   Between Carol's glad corms and my stuff it was a big job.  My new roll of polyester blanket for the perennials wasn't put inside when it was unloaded off the truck.  I thought it would be fine since it was wrapped in plastic.  It got wet, froze and now it is in here thawing.

     Andrew hooked up the pellet stove Thursday evening.  He put a bag of his pellets in it so it would be ready to go as soon as we could plug it in.  The pellets were delivered yesterday.  A neighbor who is an electrician put in a outlet to plug it in last night.  We pushed the button and soon it was putting out heat for us to enjoy on a cold windy night.

     Have a Good day, Sally
