Month: February 2018
An Icy Day
Wednesday, February 7 It was the kind of day that closed area schools. Snow plows were busy scraping ice from the roads.
Grandchildren in the House
February 4-9 What fun to have these five grandchildren in the house last week. With Jared, Jesse, and Ian in school, Lydia at work, and Josiah visiting friends, I almost thought I was not going to get a group picture. Jared helping grandpa fix the dining area light. Jesse learning to swallow pills. He needs […]
Mourning Doves
Tuesday, February 6 A graceful, slender-tailed, small-headed dove that’s common across the continent. Mourning Doves perch on telephone wires and forage for seeds on the ground; their flight is fast and bullet straight. Mourning Doves eat roughly 12 to 20 percent of their body weight per day, or 71 calories on average. The Mourning Dove […]
Great American Outdoor Show
Monday, February 5 This year we had a definite purpose when visiting the Great American Outdoor Show at Harrisburg – stop at Bosbok Safaris – where we will be in a few weeks – (we leave the USA in 18 days!) Cerwin took this shot with his cell phone. A bit of a different angle […]
Sunday Afternoon Snow
Sunday, February 4 Some scenes from Sunday afternoon. It was a good day to be inside – or outside if you like being in snow.
Winter & Roses Vendor and Craft Show
Saturday, February 3 I knew many vendors and enjoyed attending this show. I bought a 31 purse here. Our granddaughter Lydia sold her homemade, delicious candies. My favorite – fruit flavored filling. Janessa and Rose shared a table – homemade scrubs and scented candles. (I love to use Janessa’s scrubs.) She describes her Rub-A-Dub Scrubs […]
Happy Birthday to Our Favorite Josh
We love you! Grandpa and Grandma High
Busy Birds
Friday, February 2 I had fun watching a variety of birds as they searched for food at the suet, feeders, and on the ground. The frozen birdbath tells you that it was a cold day. This is especially for those who don’t have the opportunity to do birdwatching, or don’t have a nice variety of […]
The Boys are Here
Photos taken: Thursday Evening, February 1 through Sunday Evening, February 4 Jere and Kristen’s three youngest boys are here while they are on a business and vacation trip to New Zealand. The first thing Jesse did when Cerwin picked him up after school was check his parents flight path. (I think they were just landing […]
Sauder Cousin’s
Wednesday, January 31 This lunch is at Oregon Dairy on the last Wednesday of January, April, July, and October. It was started many years ago in order to get the Sauder siblings (our parents) together when they were no longer able to drive. Even though most of our parents are celebrating in Heaven, we (mostly […]
Happy Birthday to Our Favorite Donovan
We Love You! Grandpa and Grandma High
Super Blue Moon
Wednesday Morning, January 31 Since there was a lot of hype about this super blue moon, I went outside at 5:56 am. It was super brilliant As the eclipse began at 6:46, it was easier to photograph. When I turned my back to the moon, I saw the sunrise in the east.
Sportsman’s Dinner & Expo 2018
Saturday Evening, January 27 We arrived early – to get tickets at the door. We hadn’t gotten tickets ahead of time because of a possible conflict in appointments. When I called two days before the expo they said there would be tickets at the door until they were gone. The first thing we did was […]
Lydia and Granpda
Saturday Morning, January 27 Lydia and Grandpa were on a mission to replace a head lamp bulb on her car. It took two trips to Advance Auto Parts to get the job done – after a small part broke.
Beautiful Evening Sky
Friday Evening, January 26 There was a beautiful, waxing moon high in the sky – ready to light the night sky. At the same minute the sun was setting in the west… …creating a beautiful orange sky. I love sunsets when the sky is orange.
