Nathaniel, Abby, and Anthony
Tuesday, February 20 We had fun taking care of Anthony for a few hours. He has a great imagination when playing. I love listening to him talking to engineers and the people riding in the train. ~~~ On Monday, February 26 we went to Fox Meadows Creamery for Abby’s birthday lunch. I needed an updated […]
Foggy Beauty
Tuesday Morning, February 20 I love the beauty of a foggy morning. I know it is not a nice thing to be driving in fog, but it’s pretty when looking at our surroundings through the mist. The trees were covered with droplets. Then I heard the familiar honking of Canada geese as they few over […]
Remains of Saturday Night’s Snow
Sunday Morning, February 18 It was a beautiful Sunday morning, and I knew that I had to take pictures if I wanted pictures of snow, as it was going to be a warm day. A tattered leaf blew across the snow while I was outside. Bird feeders are full of snow Azalea bush covered with […]

Valentine’s Day
Wednesday, February 14 After breakfast I gave the boys the card and candy – from their parents – who were on a business trip to New Zealand. After they left for school, I divided the peanut butter cups into three equal baggies with their names on them – so they each received the same amount […]
Be Still My Heart
Tuesday, February 13 Spring is coming! It is difficult for tulips and crocus to resist the pull of the warm sun – even on cold, late winter days.
Highway News for March
Tuesday Evening, February 13 When Inge brought the March Highway News to our place, I asked Jared and Jesse to help her bring them in the garage. Can you guess who loaded Jesse’s arms with magazines? I think Jared would have tried giving him another bundle or two if I had allowed it. 🙂 Today […]
Marcy, Cookie and Me
Tuesday February 13 Cookie (Emma Jean by birth) and I had a delightful drive to Marcy’s house – where we were invited for lunch – to celebrate our February birthdays. I arrived at Cookie’s place early, and set my GPS for Marcy’s house, because I wasn’t sure of the shortest way from her area. It […]
High’s At Our House for Lunch
Sunday, February 11 When we heard that Reuben, Judi, and their family were visiting from Wisconsin, we knew that we needed to have another family get-together. 🙂 Because there are always last minute things to do before lunch, we came home after Sunday school and listened to the church service by cell phone. Since the […]

Lunch at E-Town Noodles
Friday, February 9 Following our pedicure and manicure pampering, Deb and I met Lydia at E-Town Noodles. We chose this restaurant because we were hoping to meet Deb’s former manicurist/pedicurist – who owned this restaurant. However, he sold it a week ago. 🙁 We were not disappointed with the new owner – who took this […]
Being Pampered
Friday, February 9 I make it a habit to plan a manicure/pedicure for my birthday – and schedule it to work for our daughter Deb. (Since she lives an hour away, we don’t see each other as often as I see the other Pennsylvania daughters-in-love and granddaughters.) After we chose a date, I invited the […]
