Bears ~ The Movie
Friday Evening, April 18. Jere and Kristen invited us to go with their family to see Bears at a local cinema ~ as an early birthday gift for Cerwin. It is a rare occasion for us to go to a cinema, so we looked forward to the evening with great anticipation. We noticed that there were […]
My Afternoon Walk ~ Today
It was a beautiful Sunday afternoon for a two-mile-plus walk around the neighborhood. I could see evidence that the trees are beginning to bud. There are many small ground flowers along the road… …including dandelion. Pretty tulips in a neighbor’s yard. A few more steps and I was in front of the cows. A pretty daffodil. ~~~ My first […]
Enjoying A Birthday Supper With Jenna
Monday, April 7 Her restaurant of choice. We like eating at Texas Roadhouse, but had never been to this location in Palmyra. I especially enjoyed the drive – over back roads that I rarely travel. Just looking at this picture reminds me of the delicious, warm roll. It was fun to spend time with her and hear […]
Photos & Supper Following The Recital
After supper preparations were complete, we went outside for some photos. First ~ the two pianists ~ Jana and Jared Jared with his parents. This photo is by Deb, because the expressions on their faces is better than on my photo. Jana with her parents Jana and her mom – another photo by Deb. I didn’t take one of […]
The Piano Recital – Miscellaneous
In my entry yesterday, I wanted to focus on the recital and each student, so didn’t post these. Jared before the recital. He wanted a suit – would have really liked “tails” – because that is how Tom and Jerry dress for recitals. 🙂 Yes, the cartoon characters. Jere took him to Salvation Army where they found […]
Piano Recital
By Students of Rachel Siegrist ~ Sunday Afternoon, April 6, 2014 We enjoyed a delightful recital in the chapel at Pleasant View Retirement Community. I wanted to include each student in one entry, so used more photos than I usually do. Prelude by Renee – granddaughter of Rachel. Rachel – a friend of ours – is the student’s […]
Jana’s Birthday Party ~ The Gifts & Cake
Sunday, March 30 After lunch ~ while Jere and Kristen were putting food and dishes away ~ Jared played a few songs and asked Grandpa to sing with him. In this photo they are singing “Do Lord.” http://b.scorecardresearch.com/p?c1=8&c2=6036211&c3=11003&c4=35171&c5=&c6=&c15=&cv=2.0&cj=1′ /&I’ve got a home in glory land that out-shines the sun.

Jana Rae’s Birthday Lunch
We were delighted to be invited to Jana’s 15th birthday lunch after church on Sunday, March 30. I took a new picture for my refrigerator, but haven’t decided which one I like best. In the living room, Josh was trying to help his brothers fix an electronic problem. Deb is pleased with a new blanket […]

A Baby Shower for Kevin & Becca ~ The Gifts
Saturday Afternoon, March 15 The four little girls ~ Elyse (on Becca’s lap), Lucy, Molly, and Bella were quite interested in the gifts. Like I said yesterday, I think Elyse thought this was her party. 🙂 She loved helping Becca open the gifts. A gift from a grandma who I understand is no longer […]
A Baby Shower for Kevin & Becca ~ The Food
Saturday Afternoon, March 15 While people arrived and lunch was being prepared I took more pictures. Notice the pretty, cloth napkins. Visiting before lunch. By 12:30, lunch was prepared and looking delicious. Becca’s parents (Jeff and Eunice), Becca and Kevin, and Kevin’s mom (Anne) welcomed everyone and asked Cerwin to pray before the meal. Waiting to go […]
A Baby Shower For Kevin & Becca
Cerwin and I were honored to be invited to this celebration ~ the first baby for our nephew and his wife.Becca, her mom, sister, and friends did a great job of making it a delightful afternoon. Becca (back to camera) and her mom attending to some lunch details. While the ladies were getting things ready, Kevin entertained his niece […]

Horse World Expo With Gloria & Ashlea
Friday, February 28 Harrisburg Farm Show Complex and Expo Center This came about because Gloria had not come to a decision as to what she wanted to do for her birthday – which was in December. When I saw this event advertised, I immediately thought of her – and she loved the idea of going. […]
Supper With Nate & Abby
Wednesday Evening, February 26 This was a make up birthday present to Nathaniel for the end of last year when we were on the road a lot. We don’t get to visit with just them very often, so going out together for a meal is delightful. I enjoy hearing about their life and plans and […]
Supper At RD’s and Roy & Deb’s Animals
Saturday Evening, February 22 We met Roy and Deb here so we could spend an evening with them and his sister, Mary, who was visiting from Florida. We had a great time visiting and eating. I only photographed the desserts. Deb and I got crème brulee (as usual). Cerwin’s apple pie. If I remember correctly, […]
Shopping & Pampering For The Girls
Tuesday, February 18 When Diane and her girls decided to go shopping on Tuesday, I wasn’t sure that I would go along. I am not a fan of shopping. But, then I thought to myself, “Self you can stay home tomorrow when they drive back to Maine and the house is empty. This is a day you […]
A Special Birthday Cake For Abby
I think it was at the baby shower/birthday party the day before that we learned my niece Karen was baking donuts on Monday, February 17. She told us to stop in for some on the way home from our tea. (I expect her mom and sisters were also involved in the baking. They usually are.) […]
My 70th Birthday Marathon ~ The Ladies Who Shared The Tea
This is who I saw when I arrived at A Tea Affair on Monday, February 17 – our daughters, daughters-in-law, granddaughters and Mary Ellen a friend from Maine. Well, it was not exactly like that, as the above one was a posed one after we all settled in. It looked more like this – with […]
My 70th Birthday Marathon ~ A Tea Party
My last clue on Sunday night said: Final Clue: A Tea Affair – 12 noon on Monday, February 17, 2014. Come and see who else may be there with you… We arrived just before noon. The room is beautifully decorated. The flowers made us feel like springtime – which was wonderful on this cold wintry […]
My 70th Birthday Marathon ~ Birthday Cards & Clues Of Something To Come
I never had – and will probably never have another birthday like this one! By Sunday evening, February 16, I had sixty cards and e-cards, plus about twice that many wishes on my blog and Facebook. Thank You! I feel honored and blessed by your love. After everyone left the drop-in party I began finding envelopes in interesting places around the […]
My 70th Birthday Marathon ~ Visiting & Gifts
After letting Nate and Abby know that the afternoon was a family baby shower, decorations had to be changed. The birthday banner (designed by Kristen) was moved to another part of our garage. Cerwin’s mother demonstrates her great sense of humor. And before long the decorations had changed. In the kitchen Lydia was putting the finishing touches […]
My 70th Birthday Marathon ~ From Birthday Party To Baby Shower
Sunday, February 16 When lunch was over, I mentioned that I would like a few photos (because I knew there was going to be a baby shower for Nate and Abby and there would probably not be another opportunity.) Someone suggested that we start by kissing! 🙂 Our children (Diane, Jere, Deb, and Jeff) have […]
My 70th Birthday Marathon ~ Sunday With Our Family
Sunday, February 16 It is not over yet ~ the reason I called this a marathon. 🙂 A birthday rose from Hezekiah. He gave it to me when we got home from the restaurant on Saturday evening. Lydia and her friend Mary Ellen. There was a lot of noise and fun and busyness when Cerwin, Diane, […]
My 70th Birthday Marathon – The Surprise!
Saturday, February 15 I told Cerwin that the only thing I wanted for my birthday was dinner with our children. He told me that it did not suit the children on my birthday, so it was planned for a week later. That was certainly fine with me. I did not know where we were going […]
My 70th Birthday Marathon ~ A Gift From Maine & A Hint Of Another Gift
Friday, February 14 Because this was a beautiful winter day ~ and Valentine’s Day ~ I am including other pictures from the day. It was a beautiful Valentine’s Day morning. Snow that had fallen in previous days was being carefully sculpted by the wind. The bright sun highlighted the red parts of the barns that are […]
My 70th Birthday Marathon ~ Breakfast With My Sister
Wednesday, February 12 Nancy wanted to find a special spot for my birthday breakfast this year ~ and she surely did. The Inn is old, delightful, and elegant. We were given a few choices of table locations – and because it was a cold morning, chose the fireplace. The hostess was preparing for a large group for […]
My 70th Birthday Marathon ~ My Actual Birthdate
Saturday, February 8 My first gift of the day was the delivery of this beautiful bouquet of flowers from Clair (my brother) and Kate. They were beautiful – and stayed that way until my “real” birthday celebration the following weekend. Thank you! Thank you! Our grandson Josiah stopped in to give me a birthday hug, and […]
