Rest in the Lord and be willing to wait for Him. Psalm 37:7 (NLV)
Wednesday, January 20 The day started with a beautiful sunrise. For some reason, I saw a lot of blue jays. They are known for their intelligence and complex social systems with tight family bonds. Their fondness for acorns is credited with helping spread oak trees . Blue Jays are smaller than crows, larger than robins. Genders […]
The newest trailer was backed into the TFC shop last fall, but Cerwin is still waiting for the go-ahead to begin construction. Delay in construction on the new trailer is for good reason as this will be the first in a series of Truckers’ Life Centers—chapels that will include a wellness area. TFC President and […]
I love to watch birds and humans Both teach me lots of lessons Birds teach me the beauty of simplicity. It’s rare to find people who truly understand the beauty of simplicity because our minds create so much drama. Birds are sometimes selfish – chasing away other birds who get too close. People do that […]
Wednesday, January 13 This was our first snow of 2016 – before the big snow. I love a cold, snowy, winter morning.
Sunday, January 10 It has been a tradition for many years that we combine our Truck Rally and Lancaster Banquet meetings in one afternoon – because some members are on both committees. Just before the Truck Rally meeting started, someone noticed the rainbow. It wasn’t at a great location for us, as it was behind […]
Saturday, January 9 We were pleased that Saturday, January 9, was an open day in our schedule so we could attend the Celebration of Life service for our friend Tish Jones at Davisville Church, Southampton, PA (near Philadelphia). I took two pictures of slides that were scrolling on the screen. Tish is on the right. […]
Saturday, January 23 I took lots of pictures, and will eventually post them, but I thought you may enjoy seeing these A Mourning Dove on the ledge outside our dining area window. A snow drift hanging over our house roof. Our grandson Jesse trying to walk in two feet of snow. It is still snowing […]
The European Starlings – and many other birds – seem to appreciate that I am keeping black oil sunflower seeds on top of the snow today. I put a tray of seeds on top of a bush just outside a kitchen window – and keep refilling it.
Thursday, January 7 This is what the sky looked like when we left the Myers’ house at 6:20 AM. I love driving while the sun in rising. About an hour and twenty minutes after leaving the Myers’ we were crossing the bridge from Maine to New Hampshire. Early morning industry Watching construction on Tappan Zee […]
Wednesday, January 6 I love how the late afternoon sun hits the windows of their new house. Sunshine and shadows on their deck and yard Since it was a clear afternoon, Diane asked if I wanted to go up the hill behind them – to the church parking lot – to see if we could see the […]
Wednesday Noon, January 6 Our second stop was Fort Andross (I took this picture from the car window.) Fort Andross was established in 1688 as a trading post for fur trappers and as a garrison built during King William’s war and went through many transitions (fort, cotton mill, and a textile and manufacturing mill. Today it […]
Wednesday, January 6 The ladies look forward to this place each January when it is frigid outside in Maine. Treating our feet in very warm, swirling water and our backs to massaging chairs. Oil and hot stones treat our feet to more pampering My feet in paraffin and warm towels. Great for winter feet. Ahhhhhhhh! Diane and […]
Tuesday, January 5 It was a cold morning. Since this is the first winter in their newly purchased house, they learned that this area needs heat tape. It only affected the shower, but they will add more insulation when it is warmer, and they can explore the area where this pipe is too close to the […]
Monday Evening, January 4 After supper at Sea Dog, we went to Hannah and Lydia’s place to exchange a few gifts. The gifts in the box were for Now-You-Have-It-Now-You-Don’t. I forgot to take pictures of that game. I think we brought some of these gifts from Pennsylvania – given by Nate, Abby (their Pennsylvania daughter & sister), and Anthony. Two chocolate […]
