A Dusting of the Cobwebs: Its The Turkeys Road...

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...

Its The Turkeys Road...

March 3, 2018

The road going to the area of my home is called Willow Street. Today three Turkeys think they own it...

On my way home from Walmart, Three Turkeys were on the road. The two largest black Turkeys were standing on the side of the road as if they were waiting to cross. I drove very slowly, almost at a stop, as I didn't want to hit them... then they decided to attacked my car.
As they lunged their bodies at my car I saw one of their heads popping up and down, looking into my front passenger window. That was a very interesting experience to have a turkey looking at me....disapprovingly...
I had at least two cars behind me... As I pulled slowly away I saw they were greeted in the same way.

I really do enjoy living here in Grantsville, its a Rural area, where you can have some farm animals. In this area there are horses, cows, chickens, turkeys, sheep, goats, and pigs, and some buffaloe. A few lamas for protecting the sheep.
And of course a few dear that come down from the mountains in the winter. We even had a Cougar or Bobcat one spring. We have Pheasants, Quails, and have had Bald Eagles. I love the Kill Dear birds and the song they sing.... We have so much that I have not mentioned. Beauty is every where to enjoy...
