"I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully tailored clothes...and with long, perfectly manicured fingernails. I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp...I want to be there with a little dirt under my fingernails from helping to weed someone's garden. I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and the tears of a friend on my shoulder. I want the Lord to know I was really there, and that I really lived."

~Marjorie Hinckley



"Our lives are frittered away by detail; simplify, simplify." Henry David Thoreau



"Besides the noble art of getting things done, there is a nobler art of leaving things undone. The wisdom of life consists in the elimination of nonessentials." Lin Yutang

Chet earns 2nd class rank in Boy Scouts 12 August 2009

Chet got to pin his award on Brenden (traditionally the boys pin their moms) since I wasn't able to be there that night....Brenden's the one that deserves the pin anyway since he is Chet's 11 year old scout leader. They have been working hard over the past year....and have had a lot of fun together! Brenden will miss not working closely with Chet each week as Chet will be moving up when he turns 12 in September.
