Is time precious to you?

Your hours of the day are much to precious to let them slip away!!!
                                   Happiness is really moment to moment!!!!

Life is short
  Time is fast
       No replay 
          No rewind
So enjoy each day as it comes!

About Work

  The subject of work has come up alot lately  .....Why work? ....and thought this appropriate.


              Most of us have to work ....
           Most do not like to work.....
           But most would be vastly more miserable without work....
              Without work , and struggles, danger, adventure, hope, fear and triumph.... life would seem to be empty!!  and have you ever thought it just might be a tremendous BORE!

 Maybe we need more sleep!

Rhett Lawton

Our  Bishop Bro. Rhett Lawton is a airplane pilot.  He travels alot of places with his job.  I love to hear him give talks and just recently he gave a great one!  He said while flying the plane the weather was not sooo good around him and in fact it got so very very dark around him that he decided to fly up much higher and get above the darkness of the clouds.  He said as he did , there it was....above the clouds " A burst of sunlight" .... Its Always There!  he said ...Always!  Above the clouds with all the darkness below him it was there and he said whatever we go through here on earth.....that light will be there right above  us always!  Heavenly Father is always there!!   Sometimes we just have to have a little patience. And like the SUN  he is always there.... above the darkness..  I was so touched by his talk and have to say I got a little emotional.  It was so sincere and real!

Dinner Time

We had a stationwagon when kids were young and it was called the grocery getter, named by our daughter Angie cause it was always used for going to the grocery store to be filled up with more food for seven kids.

 A funny thing Angie would say when it was time for the kids to come in for supper would be...and she would  shout this out from the front porch   "All you Shappard's come to dinner"  and then shout out again saying "if not a Shappard don't come."😊 So funny!  The kids were usually out playing and would  come in just before it got dark.


Will add our grocery getter here if I can just find that picture. 

The clock is ticking!

Its so true that time stops for no one!  Doesn't matter if i would like it to slow down....it  just keeps coming and going even faster at this age. When young i never gave time a second thought and lived as if it went on  forever,  I did.... I thought like that until I probably  reached about age 50..... yup ....then realized ''Yikes'' my life is half over and now at 76 i think wow i really will be out of here one day.😢   when i go to church on Sunday the next thing I know its Sunday again and i think how can that be already......thats  how fast it goes for me.😨  I do try to keep busy and do spend alot of time out of the house.  Don't take naps .....just wanta get out and do something. Dad is totally different .....he loves staying home , loves his naps and does a couple yards for our neighbors and then watches tv. or sleeps. 😉      I like watching tv in the evenings  but  daytime nope... I have to get out and live!

We never can stop time no matter what so
   I will try my best to enjoy what time I have left! Gosh, how do I stop these clock hands from moving. hmmm.
We always think we have more time than we do ....but we don't!
