Rest in the Lord and be willing to wait for Him. Psalm 37:7 (NLV)
Saturday, February 16 I arrived early to get pictures and reserve a seat where I could get pictures during the program without having to get up and walk around too much. It appeared that they were set up for 160 ladies. The committee always does a great job of decorating. This year it looked like […]
Sunday, February 10 Continued from yesterday’s post Our nieces and nephews were invited to drop in during the afternoon and everyone was encouraged to share or bring memories. This is our oldest niece, Dorretta, who brought a teddy bear I made for her – many years ago. I can’t believe she still has it. 🙂 […]
Sunday, February 24 Sunday School – Joe Cassel, Teacher Satan does anything he can to distract us from truth. God’s vision for us is that we catch His vision and share it with others. As we go, do we think: “How can we bless others today”? Church – Ron Copenhaver, Preacher – 2 Timothy 2 […]
Sunday, February 10 Just when I thought my birthday fun was over, we came home from church to this. Another party had not even entered my radar. When I first saw the cars in our driveway, I thought there were a bunch of mancave guys at our place to watch a game on TV. Then […]
This is what I saw through our living room window just before 7 am on Saturday Morning, February 9. What fun to go to Winter & Roses Vendor and Craft Show at the Manheim Farm Show Community Exhibition Center. This lady and her husband were raising funds toward adopting a baby. Sophie was selling children’s […]
Friday Evening, February 8 Cerwin planned a special 75th birthday supper for me and our children at John J. Jeffries in Lancaster, PA. I told him that I am too old for surprises, so I was forewarned about this supper. All mothers with grown children know how special it is to have each of your […]
Friday, February 8 This pretty arrangement plus a vase arrived from ProFlowers. The vase was so tight with flowers that I removed a few and put them in a bud vase in the living room. Thank you, Roy and Deb. It is now two weeks later and I still have a small bud vase of […]
Friday, February 8 Following our manicures and pedicures we went to Isaac’s – a short drive from L.A. Nails in Lititz. Several chose the speckled lemonade (strawberries and pink lemonade). I chose sweet tea – and it was pretty good for a northern sweet tea. Nothing quite matches southern sweet tea. 🙂 Someone chose cheese […]
Friday Morning, February 8 Getting a pedicure and manicure on or close to my birthday has become a yearly tradition. I think I went alone for a few years, but soon decided that it would be more fun to have company. This is just a few of the fabulous stuff that was put into the […]
Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday – February 6, 7 and 8 I didn’t take any pictures on Day 5 and 6 of my birthday week, partly due to the arrival of Mark and Diane – to help celebrate my 75th birthday. Diane and Mark arrived late Wednesday evening – after a nine-hour drive from Maine, delivering […]
Tuesday, February 5 This was a special day – unlike the previous one. My favorite sister took me to Fox Meadows Creamery for lunch – a birthday gift. She got an affogato. I got my new favorite winter drink – a crème brulee latte. Nancy got tomato soup and a half sandwich (not sure what […]
February 17 Sunday School – Kerwin Miller, Teacher Do we give up on people – stop praying when we don’t see any change in their life? Do we really believe that Jesus has power to heal bodies and forgive sins – that God can change lives? Church – Jon Cassel, Preacher 2 Timothy 1:1-18 (With […]
Monday, February 4 Okay, not every day in a birthday week can be special and fun. 🙂 I began my day by going to the dentist to get a crown on a tooth. At least the hard work was done, he just had to put the cap on. Before leaving I enjoyed watching this squirrel […]
Sunday, February 3 This was our view on the way to church that day. I like the muted grays, yellows and pinks in the sky. We met Jere and Kristen’s family at Molly’s Convenience Store, then went to the Great American Outdoor Show at Harrisburg – mostly to see our African outfitter friends Phil and […]
We love you! Grandpa & Grandma High
Saturday, February 2 Since my 70th birthday – 5 years ago – I try to do something extra special each day of the week prior to my birthday to remind me to be thankful to God for life and family and friends. The first day of my birthday week started with a beautiful sunrise that […]
What fun to get this framed photo of our grandson Jesse back from the framer. This picture means that I have now stitched all 17 of our grandchildren. I should have had this done a year ago, but got bored with doing the background and put it on a backburner for awhile. My next project […]
