Rest in the Lord and be willing to wait for Him. Psalm 37:7 (NLV)
Wednesday, February 5 Cerwin blessed me with flowers as part of my birthday week. He knows I like flowers in the kitchen – especially in Winter when everything is cold and bare outside. I put a few small stems in this vase and placed it on the windowsill. It was a rather uneventful day – […]
Tuesday, February 4 Oh, how I love this yearly date with Chris, Kristen and Deb. It is even better when our Maine daughter, Diane, is able to join us, but that didn’t work out this year. My restaurant of choice — to help celebrate my birthday week – was Knight & Day Diner. Chris (daughter-in-love) […]
I’ve gathered fifteen of my favorite bluebird pictures from recent weeks – and thought you might like to see them too.

It was a beautiful Sunday morning. As a day in my pre-birthday week, I treasured worshipping with our church family and was blessed by the discussion in Sunday school and the sermon from our winter series on spiritual growth. I asked Cerwin if we could go to McDonalds for lunch as I had a craving […]
Saturday Morning, February 1 We arrived here about 10 am (after Ice Cream for Breakfast and the other stops I told you about yesterday). This is where the Winter & Roses Vendor and Craft Show was held. Sabrina was just inside the door with her beautiful Solid Hew display of live edge boards. Kathy talking […]
Saturday Morning, February 1 Fox Creamery opened early (8:00 am) to celebrate “Ice Cream for Breakfast Day.” We decided to join the celebration as the beginning of my birthday week. Now that I am old, I try to do something special each day in the week leading up to my birthday. 🙂 Cerwin took this […]
Thursday Morning, January 30 Jere usually goes to this breakfast with Jesse. If it doesn’t suit him, Kristen goes. If it doesn’t suit either of them, Cerwin goes. This is the first time I went – because it didn’t suit any of them. We had a delicious meal of breakfast pizza, cinnamon buns and apple […]
Wednesday Evening, January 29 Thanks to Jere for calling us so we did not miss this. For some reason I had it on my calendar for the next night. 🙂 Thankfully we don’t live far from the school. It was a fairly even match for awhile, then it felt like his opponent was making illegal […]
We love you! Grandpa and Grandma High
Wednesday, January 29 It is always fun to enjoy lunch and visit with some of Cerwin’s Sauder cousins. (We do this four times a year.) There were two from the next generation – a cousin’s son – closest to the camera and Elvin and Pat’s daughter, Crystal (our niece), top of the picture with long […]
Tuesday, January 28 During the one-and-a-half-hour drive (mostly on the Pennsylvania turnpike) we stopped at this rest stop for a quick lunch. Sam was doing really well – one week after knee surgery. We got to see the staples. (This is now a week following our visit, and I expect the staples have been removed.) […]
We love you! Great Grandpa and Great Grandma High

Sunday, February 2 ~~~ Sunday school – Subject: Single-minded Obedience – Matthew 4:1-11 – Teacher: John Diffenderfer How do we stand up to daily temptation? “God would rather that we make a daily commitment than a yearly resolution.” Jesus’ commitment to bring salvation to us meant He did not turn His back on God – […]
We love you! Grandpa and Grandma High
Saturday, January 25 We arrived early – 3:30 pm – for the 4:00 pm seminar and had time to check out the displays and vendors. The photo above is the stage where hunters brought their trophies. This was a photo from the stage as people checked out vendors in the auditorium. Mike Fedora and his […]
Saturday, January 25 It was a wet morning. The blue jays were hungry for peanuts. This one seemed to be telling me that there were no peanuts. I refilled the box with peanuts – and the jays were back. Not so wet by this time. The female cardinal also came looking for food, but stayed […]
Friday, January 24 Never miss the blessing of having an opportunity to observe a new painting on God’s canvas every morning. When I looked at my feet, I noticed that some hyacinths are already pushing through the ground. They may see some brutal weather yet this winter – before it is time for them to […]
