The month of January was been very cold the low temperature recorded at the airport was minus 13 degrees although the lowest temperature we have had at our place was minus 2 degrees. The temple was closed and not much else was happening. We just kind of hibernated for the month.
We have been having problems with our printer so I called HP help line and after spending a couple of hours talking to them they sent us another printer and we were to send our old one back to them.
When I tried to connect the new printer it didn't work either. I spent another couple of hours with HP help after which they said the will send another printer. I asked for our money back but they said they can't do that . When we checked the price of new printers locally we could have bought a new printer for less money locally. So much for a learning experience.
Since our old computer is beginning to sound funny we went ahead and purchased a new Toshiba lap top computer. We are still in the process of learning how to use it. The new computer is working great all we need to do is figure out how to use. We now have Web Cam if we can figure how to use it. After a few more discussions with HP they finally refunded our money and we went down and bought a new Canan Printer to go with our new computer.
Ruth now claims the new wireless set up upstairs and I'm religated to the basement with the old computer. The funny thing is that once we got the New printer working the old Hp printer started working again.
We still have several inches of snow on the ground. It really hasn't snowed much here since the last of December but i has stayed cold enough that the snow we had hasn't melted.
I'm enclosing a couple of pictures. The Frost has really made thing beautiful. Some where I have lost my winter pictures. Iwill send some that we took last summer while Sam was with us.
Pictures are: Sam on "the Rock" at Tony Grove Lake. Meeting of the Rails at Promintory Point, Our balloon ride, The Missile display at Thiokol, and a Fresno Scraper. Grandpa Hyrum Grant Stephens talks about using a Fresno Scraper in his history. Prior to WW II Fresno Scrapers were used to dig basements and on most construction projects. Either one or two horses were used to provide the pulling powers.
Love Dad Stephens

It looks like your balloon was tethered the whole time. Didn't you get any free flight time? Rachel really wants to go up in a balloon sometime. We told her she has to be older and she'd better start saving her money now!
Maybe I'll have to stop by and help out with the computer stuff some time...
