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...

Robin Williams...

It has been a very sad day...Robin Williams died yesterday,  one of my favorite actors.
 He spent years making people happy, He was known around the world, He took care of many people without being known.

He made every one happy and feel better, but he himself was not....His depression finally caused him to take his own life.

I found out  yesterday that Christopher Reed, who played superman in the movies, and fell off a horse and became parlized.  Robin Williams paid all his medical bills while he was alive.  He also donated hugely to children hospitals, and many more.

Robin Williams played in many movies.... In the Movie Hook, he played Peter Pan,  Mrs Doubtfire,  Dead Poet Society,  Patch Adams,  RV,  he was the voice of the Genie in the Animation of Aladdin.  This is just a few of my favorites.

The news reporters said there are four more movies to come out,  that he had made for this year.

The whole world is sad, and in shock, we all enjoyed him...
He made us Happy.....




About a week later, Comedian, Actress, Joan Rivers died.
I wasn't too impressed with her acting, but learned to appreciate her honesty when she was on "The Apprentice"
She was in her 80's when she died.

Spock, from Star Track NG, also died in Feburary 2015.
