A Dusting of the Cobwebs: First hot rolls....

A Dusting of the Cobwebs....

welcome to my blog!
...allow me a brief introduction...

In a reacent conversation with my daughter, her questions were why I, and her Dad were so quiet about our lifes? Meaning writing or telling about our own personal historys.

I didn't think there was anything important to write about. As I was just a normal person, getting up in the morning and getting the day started, getting kids off to school, or meeting schedules of the whole family, cleaning house, and landry. Keeping little ones busy, and changing diapers, comming home fixing dinner, helping with homework, putting kids to bed, watch some news, go to bed. And then do it all over again the next day. Then some days was teaching lessons in Primary, RS, MIA, Sundayschool, cub scouts, or helping at schools, ect. Family home evening, Visiting teaching, and even some Home teaching and being the family schaefer. most of the time we had one car, 6 kids, one working husband. Oh yes, the multi years of music lessons, and baseball teams, coaching, and even one major jumproap champion, for one daughter.

We had trials too. some were very hard, just thinking about a single memory of losing our son, brings tears. But we are told that this life is to meet trials, and how we handle them will be for our own eternal growth.

A very wise Stake President, President Alred, once said "We are here to be schooled in the principles of eternity. We will work by the sweat of our brow, to work our way through this life... But remember we are here to be schooled in the principles of eternity."

So, I welcome you to my blog. Please feel free to stay and go as you please, and wander where you wish. And, as always, feel comfortable in sharing those stories that you may feel are just "an every day" thing as well...

First hot rolls....

Today was the Family Home Evening for the 50+ Singles in our Stake. Lynn and I have been working with the Single program for almost four years. Maralee, and Claud Parkinson who have been our leaders, were released this last month. Maralee has been making the rolls each month for the dinner. I volunteered to make them for the seniors, because it means so much to them.

After being taught by Maralee, and useing her recipe, I made two pans full. Each pan the size of half sheet cake, and holds 32 rolls.

This evening was centered around Thanksgiving. We were expecting about 40 people or a few more. We ended up with 62 people and 10 take outs, to the home bounds. We ran out of rolls, and Bro.Brown went and bought more.

It made me feel good as the folks felt that Maralee had made the rolls, and they were a big hit. I gave myself a small pat on the back, I had been compared to Maralee, and she is a Queen of Cooks, and a great teacher.
