Fred's Journal - March 1991

Friday March 1 – 1991
We did the chores again this morning, then went to Fillmore to deposit a little of the green stuff. I’d like to have like Earl Johnson says, fifty-cents more than I needed. That would be a lot of money. Carl & Phyllis took Steve’s boy home to his parents today. He has been good down here. We have 5 calves up to the field now & one out to Cedar Mt.

Sat. Mar 2 – 1991
Went to S.L.C. today & had a good time. Ted & Tamra went with me. Ted did the driving. We went to see Theron & found him well & glad to see us. That’s the first time I seen him for better than a year. He’s still the same old Theron. We then went to Helen’s. She looks fine. JoAnn was there from South America, Peru to be exact. Also saw four of Blanche’s girls. They sure look good & are really nice. Also had a daughter of the girls with them. (very pretty.)

Sun Mar 3 – 1991
Went to church today. It was Fast & Testimony & was pretty good. Went up to Ted’s & had a good dinner. Then Ted & Karen went over to Fillmore to finalize Delma’s head stone. It’s a good one.

Mon Mar 4 – 1991
Nothing much happened today. Just wind & no rain.

Tuesday Mar 5 – 1991
Did the chores & then went up on the Mt (Cedar that is) to see the horses, but couldn’t find the darn things. We have 7 new calves now & expect more soon.

Wed Mar 6 – 1991
The weather today was cool. Guess it stormed up north but all we got is cold air.

Thursday Mar 7 – 1991
Cool again today. Carl said it was 20 degrees on his porch so that’s cold enough for this time of year. We went up to the field & cut some posts for a shute for our calf table so I’m tired as usual. This old age is for the birds. I can hardly do anything.

Friday March 8 – 1991
Carl & I went out to the field to dig some post holes. The rocks were terrible. Some big & some little, cemented in with hard pan. We had some time but finally finished the holes. Now tomorrow we are going to dig up the old posts & move them to their new home.

Sat March 9 – 1991
We got the posts & shute moved finally & it looks pretty good. Ted & Karen put on a new door for the kitchen. Did a good job & it looks nice.

Sun Mar 10 – 1991
Went to church this fine day & had dinner up to Ted’s. Also took a book home to Albert Bennett’s. Also heard from Toni. They are fine.

Mon Mar 11 – 1991
It’s cloudy again today but hasn’t stormed much. Went to Fillmore today.

Mon Mar 18 – 1991
A whole week has gone by & I’ve been lazy as usual. I’ll try & remember a few things. Our cows had another calf, which is good. They haven’t had a bit of trouble. Reed Wood died last Sat night in his sleep. Delma worked for him for the period of time I was in the Army. He was a good man. Went to church today & took care of the High Priest roll for Don Turner. Carl & I went out to the field this morning & fixed the shute for the calves. Hope it works.

Tues Mar 19 – 1991
Its cloudy today & it should storm, but we all know how that is. Until it starts raining we can’t be sure. Went to Fillmore to the bank & Security Title to pay a bill today & stopped in to see Lawrence & Lula. They are doing a little better.

Wed Mar 20 – 1991
Still no storm. About the time it gets here it splits and goes South and North leaving us high & dry in the middle. (Sad story.) Went to Reed Woods funeral today. It was a good short meeting. He was 84 years old.

Thursday Mar 21 – 1991
Didn’t do much today. Fed the cows & came home. Started to read as usual. Karen called & said Tamra was sick in Fillmore so I went over & got her. She had a ear ache, but is better today. U.N.L.V. beat Utah in NCAA.

Friday Mar 22 – 1991
Went to Fillmore to the bank to get my insurance fixed so the Co. can get the payment directly from the bank each month.

Sat Mar 23 – 1991
I was glad to see Toni, Mike & Jodi. They came last night about 10:30 I was surprised. We had a good visit all day. Karen got me some new kitchen curtains & put them up today. They sure look very nice.

Sunday Mar 24 – 1991
Toni & family left this morning for Las Vegas. They will stop on their way home Wed. I sure have some good kids for which I can thank Delma. She is the one.

Monday Mar 25 – 1991
Not much happened today. Did the same old thing.

Tuesday Mar 26 – 1991
It was going to storm today but didn’t. It seems this place isn’t supposed to get any storm. Carl & I went to Delta & bought two metal gates. We came home & put one up. It works fine.

Wed Mar 27 – 1991
Toni, Mike & Jodi came home from Las Vegas today & said they had a good (time). Mike’s folks are both well & doing fine.

Thursday Mar 28 - 1991
Did the same old thing again today. It’s a good dry day. We went up to see some deer & saw quite a bunch next to the highway.

Friday Mar 29 – 1991
Toni, Mike and Jodi went home today. I really enjoyed the visit & will miss them. Ted & boys brought a load of wood over, so I’ll have some green wood for next winter.

Sat Mar 30 – 1991
The same old chores after which we took the harrow to the field, so we can start or spring work next week. They are working on the overpass out south of here so will be unable to get our drill over the pass. Will have to go out the road to a box to get it over the freeway. Hope we get more rain.

Sun Mar 31 – 1991
Went to church today & had dinner up to Ted’s. Ted is still working for Ken Zigler. Carl & Phyllis came up for a visit. They are good relatives. The best brother in the world as far as I’m concerned.
