Rest in the Lord and be willing to wait for Him. Psalm 37:7 (NLV)
~~~ Sunday, November 14 ~~~ I think my great great grandpa Hershey and our family members who lived on the homestead after him (where I grew up) would enjoy watching the Amish buggies traveling over the roads of our valley as much as I do. We live deep in the country and most Amish in […]
~~~ Saturday, November 13 ~~~ Notice the Hickory Nuts?
~~~ November 12 ~~~ It was a good morning to stay on the La-Z-Boy and drink coffee. The rain and wind were bringing down soggy, wet leaves. The yard and fields were soggy too. There were a few leaves on our Sunset Maple a day or two earlier, but on this day the tree is […]
~~~ Wednesday, November 10 ~~~ We had a lot of stops today, so planned our day accordingly. First we stopped at Nate and Abby’s to return an eraser to Anthony that he left at our place the week before – when he was doing school work. Then I took an Amazon return to a local […]

~~~ Wednesday, November 10 ~~~ As I walked outside to get a few sunset pictures, I noticed the pretty moon. Compared to world news, I treasure quiet, beautiful sunsets. God keeps on creating beauty – even if we don’t take time to notice.
~~~ Wednesday, November 10 ~~~ It was a windy day, so I tried to capture falling leaves, but that was easier said than done. 🙂 Cerwin had mowed the yard the day before – using his “red neck” leaf catcher – so the law was still fairly green, without much of a leaf cover. During […]
~~~ Saturday, November 6 ~~~ We were up early to be at a neighbor’s house by 4:45 AM – to take him to a 2-hour kidney dialysis appointment. It is good to be retired and have time to do something like this. After dropping him off at the health center, we went to a nearby […]
~~~ Thursday, November 4 ~~~ Another frosty morning outside our windows. Before the sun melted the frost, I noticed several Amish buggies and as I thought, “That is unusual for a Thursday morning,” I thought, “That must mean there is a wedding in the neighborhood. They are usually held on a Tuesday or Thursday in […]
~~~ Tuesday, November 9 ~~~

~~~ Wednesday, November 3 ~~~ It was pretty, even though it destroyed some of our flowers. This is a good sign that the seasons are changing and winter is coming.
~~~ Thursday Evening, October 28 at Shady Maple Restaurant ~~~ As we move into winter, we will again try to do something interesting about the middle of most weeks. At least on weeks that aren’t busy. During the summertime we have yard work and enjoy a vacation or two, which means we don’t feel the […]
~~~ Wednesday, October 27 ~~~ How delightful to enjoy our quarterly lunch with the Sauder cousins. One of the things I like about being retired is that many cousins are also retired – or partly retired. What fun to reminisce and catch up on each others lives. We learned that one of the ministers at […]

~~~ Tuesday, October 26 ~~~ We have been talking about meeting at Brickerville House for many months, finally we got together on a day and time that suited the four of us. Internet Phot0 Our hostess seated us in the “Library”. I like this room. It is in the inner part of the restaurant. We […]
