You know you have a really cool grandson when he chooses a 2000 Lexus LS 400 for his first car. He brought it to our house the other evening for Grandpa’s approval. 🙂 Grandpa approved! We wish our dads were still living. They loved to drive a Lexus when they worked at the Manheim Auto […]
~~~ Tuesday, August 22 3 pm ~~~ It has been an unusual summer with the death of our granddaughter Hannah and our trip to Belgium, but I was finally able to organize a swimming day at Refreshing Mountain to celebrate our local great-grandchildren’s 2023 birthdays. In the background you see Abby taking care of their […]
I went for a walk the other day to show you what it looks like when looking at our house on a late summer day. Our house is on the right BEHIND all the corn. 🙂 Along the road, the corn looks tall and healthy. Some of the farmers are saying the ears have not […]

If you follow my blog and enjoyed our recent trip to Belgium, you may remember that I chose zucchini soup when we visited the Inn at Bokrijk – the open-air museum of 1900s historical buildings. I decided then to try to replicate the soup because I found it to be delicious. I am a fan […]

~~~ Tuesday, August 15 6 pm ~~~ Plaza Azteca, Fruitville Pike, Lancaster, PA, was Jared and Yeira’s choice for a 2023 birthday celebration. We were looking forward to that because it had been a while since we ate Mexican food. I chose rice and vegetables. It was so much fun to eat delicious food catch […]
Our Crape Myrtle bush was in full bloom when we got back from Belgium and continues to be in beautiful bloom. We always look forward to its bright red blossoms in the late summer.
~~~ Saturday Evening, July 29 ~~~ You may remember that I gave a sampling of pictures from my sister and brother-in-law’s celebration the day we left for Belgium. Now we are back in routine, and I finally am taking time to go through my whole set of pictures. Nancy asked if I would take pictures […]
~~~ Wednesday Evening, August 9 ~~~ This birthday meal was planned before we went to Belgium. When Nate and Lauree chose this date, I thought we may need to stay home that night because of the time change, then I immediately thought, “It will be good to have something to do and someone to talk […]
~~~ Tuesday, August 8 ~~~ Nothing quite prepared us to say goodbye to Hans and Anneke on Tuesday morning when they took us to Brussels Airport following a fabulous nine days with them.

This was near the city of Genk, in the […]
~~~ Sunday, August 6 ~~~ This is what Sunday morning looked like as we waited for the time to leave for morning worship. We drove to Dilbeek, Belgium, where this group of protestant Christians worship in a school cafeteria. I took this picture before I know which door we were entering. It was the door […]
