In an attempt to keep a promise to Grampa, we are creating this blog and sending it out into e-space. No doubt it will undergo numerous transformations as we feel our way around; as much as we would like to start off with an amazing blog and just get better and better, let us remind you that we are slow to acquire new skills, and we learn best by doing. At any rate, here goes!

Our motto, we think, is going to be "Come what may, and love it." This will be much easier for us if y'all keep your comments (if any) positive and cheerful. If you have constructive criticism, please keep in mind what "constructive" means...

Our first offering will be several thought-provoking quotations for your pondering and edification. Please feel free to share your own cogitations with us.

"Hold fast to the blessings which God has provided for you. Yours is not the task to gain them, they are here; yours is the part of cherishing them." (J. Reuben Clark)

Peter Drucker, known as the "father of business management," once told a seminar at Harvard University that "the Mormons are the only Utopia that ever worked."

"The Lord gives us more to do than we have time to accomplish so He can see where our hearts lie." (Vaughn J. Featherstone)

"Goals are stars to steer by, not sticks to beat ourselves with." (Barbara B. Smith)

We have tried several times to attach a picture, without success. We will try again another time.

Thank you for your patronage and patience! Someday you may be rewarded for it...

  1. A wonderful first post, Mom! I really appreciated all those quotes. I had only heard one of them before. Having been a little overwhelmed lately with all the things on my to-do list that never seem to get done, I am grateful for the reminder that--despite my many failings--my heart is where it should be--serving my family. All the other things on my to-do list, no matter how pressing they seem, are not of lasting importance. I need this reminder a lot!

    Keep 'em comin'!
