Rest in the Lord and be willing to wait for Him. Psalm 37:7 (NLV)
When Jesse stopped in on Saturday morning, he just stood there for a bit smiling, then it “hit us” he was alone and I said, “I bet you just passed your drivers test.” He smiled and said, “Yes.” He is blessed with the old family Jeep that each of his older brothers used. I think […]

~~~ Monday, December 25th ~~~ Kristen always creates interesting table and place settings. We didn’t know what the numbers meant but learned about that later. Each person had two pieces of wrapped chocolate in their box. Kristen’s mom always had a bouquet of flowers delivered to Kristen for the Christmas meal. After she died, Jere […]
~~~ A visit to Dale and Dot’s house on Christmas Morning ~~~ Because they were having a quiet day, my brother Dale and sister-in-law Dot invited family members to stop in at their house to see the gingerbread replica of our homestead farmhouse. They did a great job. I think Dot did the basic design […]

I had trouble staying away from the windows on Thursday, December 7 when we had a really nice snow! It was beautiful everywhere I looked.
~~~ Thursday, December 14 ~~~ Mark and Diane came (from Maine) several days early to help us prepare for our family Christmas. They had a few places they wanted to visit during their stay, so we planned a short daytrip to a few local places. First, we stopped at a CAM (Christian Aid Ministries) drop […]
I took these pictures about 4:00 pm, Wednesday, December 6.
You may remember that I featured White Oak Church’s fruit box and grocery box packing a few days ago. This is the contents of our fruit basket. Jon and Keri Cassel delivered ours. We had a delightful visit. We get one because we are “old senior citizens” which means someone in the house is 80 […]
