Tuesday Evening, November 26 After thinking I had voice mail reservations at Railroad House Restaurant in Marietta – Chris’ restaurant of choice – we arrived early to find it was not open. 🙁 I discovered later – after deeper research – that it is not open on Monday and Tuesday evenings. We quickly called Jeff […]

Sunday, November 24 – Sunday school. Subject: Faith That Escapes Corruption – 2 Peter 1:1-15 Superintendent: Matthew Patches – What is precious to you? During the gold rush, gold became the focus for many people. Some left everything to search for gold. Are we willing to leave everything and search for God’s riches? Sunday School […]
I enjoy seeing these pretty birds regularly during the winter months and on occasion during the rest of the year. When you see a red spot on the back of its head, you know it is a male. I checked to see if I can learn anything new about this woodpecker. They feed on insects, […]
Sunday, November 24 We could see the snow coming down – in large flakes – during our worship service yesterday. A bush in front of our car was covered with wet, heavy snow. Some of the guys went outside just before the close of worship and scraped the parking lot. They also offered to drive […]
The House Finch is one of the most common birds at our feeders. I see them almost every day – all year long. I learned something new about them when reading their “bio” in my bird book. House Finches are native to western states and were introduced to the east coast in the New York […]
I woke up early one morning this week thinking, it is only two-and-a-half weeks until our family Christmas! Yikes! I better start getting organized. 🙂 Now if it had been several years ago, I wouldn’t have been thinking that way, but the older I get, the more organized I have to be – ahead of […]
Today the name “Doris” worked for me. 🙂 The Village Farm Market, Ephrata, gave out free subs to anyone named Keith or Doris. (Thanks to the Facebook friends who tagged me so I didn’t miss the notice.) Yes, of course we went. 🙂 When I was ordering my sub, the lady standing next to me […]
I was pleased to look out the kitchen window the other day and see a pair of Eastern Bluebirds. I don’t see them very much during the summer because they can find plenty of bugs and berries in the area. They reminded me to keep berry/nut suet available, as it seems to be the only […]
Tuesday, November 20 I didn’t drive around the neighborhood to check, but it was a Tuesday in November (a day when Amish hold weddings) and there were a lot of Amish carriages and vans (Amish who come from a distance have English drivers) going by our house yesterday. Notice, this one has something tied to […]

Saturday Morning, November 16 We were up early and on the road by 6 am so we could be at Franconia Square Café and Market (Souderton) by 7:30 am for Bucks-Montgomery’s monthly prayer breakfast. We enjoyed a pretty sunrise as we headed east. We arrived in plenty of time – about 7:30 – to set […]
This is one of the last pictures we have of Cerwin’s dad – and how most of us remember him – before he died in 2000 at the age of 79. This photo said he was fifteen years old. Elvin as a young man. We think this was his first car. Dating Mother (Ella Sauder) […]
Ian stopped in the other night to show us the (new to him) car he just bought. I love when grandchildren include us in the new and exciting things in their lives.
