Christmas Day


My brother's flag stood out straight all day. So windy and cold!! We had wanted to get everyone (all nineteen of us) outside for a group picture, but no one wanted to go outside. There is hardly room anywhere in the house for a group that size, so we don't have a group picture yet. Maybe tomorrow.


Alice had this down the center of the table for Christmas Eve. It looked so nice. Eric sat down at the end of the table and said "What's this plant for? Needless to say, he got the treatment for dinner today. We all had a good laugh.

Tracy and Paul's pickup wouldn't start this morning, so the guys came to town with jumper cables. Then when they got ready to go back to their motel tonight, it had to be jumped again. It's looking like they might be buying a new battery tomorrow

If a battery is dead, jumping it will not make it charge up.
You need to get it on a charger or hook it up to jumper cables for awhile, and get some charge from the other vehicle
Alternator will only charge a battery back to the level it was just before starting it. So if your battery was only 1/4 power, then after it is started it will only charge back to 1/4 power.
They are not like a old fashion generator that would charge a battery back to full
So if you put it on a charger it may will be ok again.
There may have been a small light left on or some other power drain that took the battery way down.
