One of the Blessings of Living to Be Old
One of the blessings of living to be old is that our children are now old enough to comfortably share their love for us. 
I got this photo on my cell phone today – from our oldest son, Jeff.

Cerwin’s Siblings
It was fun to have time with Cerwin’s brother and sisters last Saturday (February 22), which happened because Bob and Doris were here for a very short time as they traveled from northern Minnesota to Harrisonburg, VA, where Bob would be preaching at a week-long series of meetings. We chose Centerville Diner 2 (formerly Country […]
This Is How I Used the Money Gift from My Secret Sister
We started the day by spending the morning (8:30 to 11:00 am) at Blessings of Hope (Leola Warehouse) sorting green beans and putting them in bags. It took a bit of time to look through the beans and discard those that were wimpy or not what we would want to keep. Cerwin and I processed […]
Morning Sunrise and Something to Ponder
A small waning crescent moon was quietly observing the pretty sunrise on Saturday morning. ~~~ Something to Ponder ~~~
Red-bellied Woodpecker and Something to Ponder
She posed for me so nicely the other day. I know it is a female because there is gray between the red on her head and the red near her beak. The male has a solid red head. ~~~ Something to Ponder ~~~
A Snow Flurry
~~~ Thursday, February 20 ~~~ We didn’t get a lot of snow, but it looked pretty for a while.
My Secret Sister’s Birthday Gift
I found this pretty card in our church mailbox last Sunday, February 16. I love this blessing. I am still waiting for an idea on how to use this $10.00. I have a sticker note on it, so it doesn’t get used for gas or taxes.

European Starlings
The ordinary and often pesky starlings looked rather pretty the other day in the late morning sunshine. They were introduced to New York City in1890 – from Europe. Since then, they have spread across North America. They usually come to our feeders in groups and are noisy and scrappy. I personally think they look rather […]

Change of Weather on Sunday
~~~ Sunday, February 16 ~~~ The Amish buggies and horses looked pretty on Sunday morning following Saturday’s snow. There weren’t many buggies this week, probably only the two Amish families who live on our road and maybe another one or two. I expect their church meeting was at a home farther west from our house. […]
A Few Pictures I Took of Birds in the Past Week

First Birthday Party for Our Great Granddaughter Aleah
~~~ Friday evening, February 14 Akron Lions Lodge, Akron, PA – 5:00 pm ~~~ Aleah’s corner Aleah – the star of the evening Special prayer for Aleah by her dad Zach. If you notice the interesting look on Gloria’s face, I happened to capture this photo as Zach’s voice broke and there was a pause […]
A Fun Few Days with Diane, Her Pennsylvania Daughters and Grandchildren
~~~ Sunday, February 9 through Thursday, February 13 ~~~ It started with the Super Bowl on Sunday evening. Natalie, Nathaniel, Anthony, Jasmine, Abby and Garth. Renee is somehow missing from this picture. I wish I could have captured a picture of her at half-time. I read that some people thought half-time was boring. Not at […]
