Rest in the Lord and be willing to wait for Him. Psalm 37:7 (NLV)
Our grandson Jared was here overnight last Saturday – before going on a mission trip to Juniata County – while his parents went to Ocean City for the week. He went along with us to Lancaster for a few things we needed for Sunday, and when we drove by Duck Donuts, I asked if he […]
What fun that our granddaughter Jana (right) was working as well as her friend Marina. Jana even got to serve us – Diane, Brenda, and Anne. Anne was visiting from Pittsburgh, the reason for this fun get-together. I love their Mint and Vegetable Grilled Cheese. I think this was Diane’s meal. Brenda got sweet potato […]
Friday, July 5 Kayla, Diane, Heze, Me – photo by Cerwin. We had a great evening at LongHorn Steakhouse celebrating Hezekiah and Kayla’s 2018 birthdays. They were in town to attend Josiah and Becky’s wedding on Sunday, July 7. Delicious, warm bread before our meal arrived. Heze’s steak and broccoli – Kayla also got a […]
Tuesday, July 2 From the internet: Circa 1760, this colonial property on Lampeter Square has been home to a livery, tavern, wainwright, blacksmith, and automobile repair shop. Various owners and businesses offered hospitality to the community and travelers on the old Conestoga Road (Route 741). Chris, Deb, Diane and I were doing a brunch so […]
Sunday Evening, June 9 I grilled tomato/cheese/bacon open-faced sandwiches for supper. It is one of our favorite evening meals – especially with fresh, local tomatoes. #1 Turn the oven on broil. #2 Lightly butter one side of a piece of bread, then put the buttered side on a cookie sheet. Broil ’til lightly toasted. #3 […]
Friday, June 7 Nancy and I look forward to these birthday breakfasts. It’s nice that our birthdays are four months apart (and nine years) – which means she takes me out in late winter and I take her out in late spring. I won’t tell you how old she is, but the numbers are the […]
Wednesday, June 5 There were twelve ladies from our Sunday school class who enjoyed a special brunch at Larry and Carol’s house. It was difficult to get a photo facing a window. Left to right: Lois, Jane, Cathy, Ruthie (hidden), Sue, Arlene, Ruth Ann, Mary, Fern, Lorraine, Dorcas, and Carol (our hostess). Jane read a […]
Tuesday, November 27 Oh, what a delight to fry walleye for supper – delivered (frozen) from Minnesota by Cerwin’s sister, Doris, and Bob Stauffer when they visited a few weeks ago. I expect Bob caught this treasure in a Bemidji lake. Thank you! It was delicious.
Sunday, November 25 – Part of our lunch don’t know when I last made potato cakes – probably because I rarely make mashed potatoes anymore. I didn’t follow a recipe – but you can find one. I added eggs, flour, and a bit of onion. Thank you, Jere and Kristen for the leftover mashed potatoes […]
Thursday, November 22 at Jere and Kristen’s house. They always set a beautiful table. Jared pouring water The ham The children requested that the meat be cooked in their smoker. Turkey breast ~~~ I needed some updated pictures for my refrigerator – and upcoming birthdays and did that while Jere and Kristen finished the meal […]
Friday Morning, September 14 Brickerville House Restaurant Cerwin thought I should not be cooking on our 55th Wedding Anniversary. Come back tomorrow evening to see where we went for supper. 🙂
Wednesday, August 22 After delivering a mailing to the Lititz Post Office, Diane treated us to lunch. After placing our order, I took this picture (from our table) of Diane checking out some of the store items. Cerwin and Diane Diane’s sandwich and sweet potato fries Cerwin’s club sandwich. One-quarter of it was for me. […]
Wednesday, May 30 Lydia was preparing to go to the beach and wanted company when getting a manicure and pedicure. She invited me to go along, then while texting Deb, invited her too. We had a delightfully, relaxing morning. Then we went next door to a Chinese restaurant. My tea came in this pot. My […]
Friday, February 9 Following our pedicure and manicure pampering, Deb and I met Lydia at E-Town Noodles. We chose this restaurant because we were hoping to meet Deb’s former manicurist/pedicurist – who owned this restaurant. However, he sold it a week ago. 🙁 We were not disappointed with the new owner – who took this […]
Saturday, January 6 The goldfinches are just beginning to get their yellow winter feathers. I like that the Yellow-bellied Sapsucker keeps hanging around. This is another view of the Starling with a “bib”. With this picture I noticed that the “bib” is a bit off to the right side instead of under it’s neck. There […]
Saturday Evening, December 23 Diane was pleased to be in Pennsylvania for Christmas and to go along with Josiah for his 2017 birthday gift from us.

Wednesday, December 20 How nice it was to get cookies from Abby the other day. Love this kind of visit from a granddaughter. 🙂 They were delicious. 🙂
Saturday Evening, December 2 This makes me think of the phrase, “My sister is better than yours.” 🙂 She and her girls (daughters and granddaughters) get together each year to make hundreds of cookies – many of them for gifts and for Christmas meals. ~~~ Thank you girls!
Tuesday Evening, March 31 I chose this picture of the exterior of Bully’s Restaurant from the Internet, because this is pretty much what it looked like when we arrived. However, it would have been difficult for me to take this picture because of evening traffic. Mark, Diane, Deb, Roy, Chris, Jeff, and Cerwin. (We were […]
Saturday, October 21 I came home from getting groceries to find 28 jars of freshly canned applesauce on our counter. Thank you. You know who you are. Love being blessed with gifts like this.
Our Mother’s & Father’s Day continued… Roy loves to find unique restaurants as gifts for us – like birthdays and Mother’s or Father’s Day. They had eaten here and thought it a perfect place to take us – after bird-watching at Conowingo Dam. The menu is Italian. The olive oil that we used for dipping our […]
Saturday Evening, May 13 (Since we were in Maine I should probably say “suppah”.) 🙂 The Sea Dog is in the Bowdoin Mill complex not far from the Myers house. There were a few loons enjoying the Androscoggin River next to the window where we enjoyed our meal. It was difficult to photograph them because of […]
Wednesday, April 5, was a cool, rainy day, so making asparagus soup seemed like a great idea. Deb brought fresh asparagus for lunch a few days earlier. It had been given to her and was picked rather old, so she only used the top 5 inches when sautéing it. I asked her to not throw out the bottoms, because they […]
April 23 Roy knows that Cerwin enjoys a good steak and “googled” best steak in Lancaster County. Johnny’s was on the list. We arrived a bit early and enjoyed the colorful view in front of us as we waited for Roy and Deb. Our view was enhanced by this couple who were enjoying a late […]
Saturday morning, April 8 I had roast beef and chicken in the refrigerator – both gifts – the roast beef from our daughter Deb & son-in-law Roy and the chicken was from two chicken barbecue meals from my sister Nancy & her husband, Marlin. After checking my pantry and pondering over the possibilities, I cooked a bag of […]
Thursday, March 30 I was on the way home from taking my step-mother to the eye doctor when I got a text from our daughter-in-law Kristen, asking if I would like some homemade granola. I texted back saying, “Sure.” We stopped for a few groceries and birthday snacks for our granddaughter’s birthday parties – Jenna […]
Monday, February 27 A beautiful sunrise on the way to Brickerville House Restaurant. When Inge invited us to join her for a birthday breakfast, I asked if she would like Elizabeth and Nsimba to join us. She was delighted to see them again and talk to Nsimba in Portuguese. Inge likes to eat in the library room. […]
Tuesday, February 21 The morning sunrise changed by the minute. After a light supper, we met Nate, Abby, and Anthony at Fox Meadows Creamery for ice cream. It was what Abby chose for her birthday treat. So many delicious choices We chose a table in the small room behind the ordering area. Abby, Anthony, and […]
Tuesday, February 14 God sent his love on Valentine’s Day with a beautiful sunrise. That evening we went to Fox Meadows Creamery for ice cream. We invited Rachel and Glenn Fahnestock to join us and they happily accepted. We enjoyed visiting in a quiet corner – which betrayed the reality of a very, very busy place. My Baked Fox – […]
Friday, February 10 I always enjoy seeing a Northern Flicker at our feeders. This is a male. The male flicker has a black patch of feathers next to its bill. When we left the house at 2 pm to go to Costco I noticed the icicles glittering in the afternoon sun. These were hanging from our […]
