Taylor Family: Picking Apples October 2009

"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

Picking Apples October 2009

From Table Rock, we drove to Mountain Rest, SC where we picked apples! The trees were loaded...and there were lots of gnats loving the apples that were on the ground....so it didn't take us long to pick our bushel or so of apples and be on our way :)
