Rest in the Lord and be willing to wait for Him. Psalm 37:7 (NLV)
Tuesday, April 23 Inge, you asked if the tulips bloomed at your cat’s graves. I missed getting those under the large bush (they were about over when I went to check), but those in the lower yard near the rocks were pretty – as well as the daffodils. They certainly add to the beauty of […]
Sunday, April 28 Sunday School – “Called to Make Disciples” Teacher: Dustan Rohrer (our grandson-in-law) Jesus has the authority to tell us to “fish” for people – or make disciples. We don’t always like directions from authority, but we need authority. Imagine an airport without authority: pilots could pick any runway and leave whenever they […]
Monday, April 29 I received a phone call from our youngest grandson, Jesse, this morning asking if he could interview me this afternoon for a school project.

Monday, April 22 We had a gift card for Red Lobster from my birthday party (Thanks, Elvin and Pat) that we decided to use for Cerwin’s birthday meal.

April 21 Jere and Kristen always set a beautiful table. Kristen asked Tucker to cut some finger Jell-O crosses and bunnies. How many brothers does it take to fix the hammock canopy? It was Jesse’s turn to learn how to cast for fly fishing. The Amish were going home from their Easter lunch. Jere taking […]
April 21 When I got to the end of the second road, I noticed that the Dull family was also enjoying the beautiful day – playing Bocce. While talking to our niece (with the Dull family) I noticed the Ebersole family coming toward us – also enjoying the warm weather. They were heading to see […]
April 21 The road ahead of me after turning right at the farm. I didn’t check to see if they were waiting on supper or just finishing it. The view ahead of me and slightly to the left. Jere and Kristen’s house is to the left. I am fascinated by the beauty of dandelion seed […]
April 21 Sunday was a beautiful day, and since we were going to Jere and Kristen’s for supper, I decided to walk the one mile – but first I stopped to admire some flowers in our yard. The Red Bud are in full bloom. We planted this tree in memory of Cerwin’s mother. Pretty tulips […]
Friday, April 19 The sisters wanted to see each other while Diane was visiting from Maine, so we planned a lunch at Olive Garden near Lancaster – a good meeting area for us. Since it was Good Friday, I checked if it suited anyone else in our family to meet us for lunch. Look who […]
Good Friday, April 19 Message by Jim Myer Suppose you could have been in Heaven with God the Father and God the Son when they had their first conversation about the plan of salvation for the human race. The cross is a symbol of death and suffering. It is also a symbol of the power […]
Thursday, April 18 I love when I see signs of our woodsy ferns coming to life above the ground. The Bleeding Hearts are showing their pretty pink flowers. These Yucca seed pods are pretty in their own way – telling me by their empty shells that they have done their job. We will see their […]
78 looks good on you!
Thursday, April 18 It was fun to create bubbles on this warm, breezy afternoon. Anthony gave his bubble wand to Great-Grandpa so he could use a smaller one. Now you see it. Now you don’t. Anthony and Grammy. They had a good time being together as much as possible during her week in Pennsylvania. Grammy […]

Saturday, April 13 Oh, what a beautiful morning as fog lined the landscape around our house. Remember I said in yesterday’s post that it looks like there will be lots of tulips this year. Look at all these tulips. There will be more photos as the tulips open.
Tuesday, April 9 The other week Inge asked if the flowers she planted at her cat’s graves were blooming. I went out back toward the woodlot to check. There were crocus and daffodils blooming. I noticed that my “dad’s” daffodils were also blooming. They are in our memory garden behind the house. He loved daffodils […]
