Dedication Sunday for Our Church – Part 1
Sunday Morning, February 21 To those from our congregation, please let me know if you find any mistakes – especially names. 🙂 This is the congregation where I grew up. It has been a major part of shaping my spiritual journey and who I am in Christ. It was an exciting day in the 249 […]
Our Drive to Middle Creek Wildlife Sanctuary – Part 2
Tuesday, February 16 – Continued from yesterday’s post The flying snow geese directed us to the Wildlife Sanctuary – along with us eventually finding familiar roads. Before long we approached the path where the public can access the lake. It is about a ten-minute walk – depending on how fast you walk. We stopped for […]
Our Drive to Middle Creek Wildlife Sanctuary – Part 1
Tuesday, February 16 We started our drive by taking a TFC Global mailing to the Lititz Post Office. I was able to take a few “drive by” photos of ice sculptures on the Lititz streets. The annual Lititz Fire & Ice Festival was canceled this year due to COVID (see Inge’s comment). It was changed […]
Hold a True Friend with Both Your Hands.
Nigerian Proverb The best mirror is an old friend. George Herbert For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. Matthew 6:21 KJV Who, being loved, is poor? Oscar Wilde Don’t walk in front of me, I may not follow. Don’t walk behind me, I may not lead. Walk beside me, and just […]
Celebrating Fastnacht Day with Fresh Donuts from My Sister
These may not “legally” be Fastnacht donuts, but they are delicious. I think a Fastnacht is without yeast. My sister, Nancy, and her girls make raised donuts. The powdered ones are filled – and were the first ones we ate. 🙂 The others are in the freezer for future enjoyment. Thanks Nancy, Karen, Melissa, Amy […]
I Tried to Replicate the Corn Dish We Had at Devon Restaurant the Other Week
I looked up corn and bacon dishes, then created my own. Cerwin thought it was even better than the one he had at Devon. 🙂 I started with a bag of fresh-frozen corn (about 2 cups), added real bacon chips (from Costco) and maybe two teaspoons of chopped, fresh onion. Then two pinches of sugar […]

Valentine’s Day Visitors
We were delighted to have our granddaughter Lydia and her friend Andrew stop in for a visit. It was the first time we met him. Now we know why Lydia likes him. 🙂 Lydia makes hot chocolate and cappuccino bombs. These four are cappuccino. I am anxious to try them. Their favorite picture. Thanks for […]
Methinks Mamma Starlings Don’t Teach Their Babies to Share
It’s not often that starlings share the same birdfeeder. The first one at the feeder scolds any other bird who attempts to get close. It was fun catching this wing span as the two birds were fighting over the suet.
If Birds Could Talk
Prosperity is not always good. Adversity is not always bad. Pray for people you dislike. Pray for people who dislike you. Develop your vocabulary, but don’t overuse fancy words. Learn to laugh at yourself. If you can’t afford it, you don’t need it. Keep your promises. Meet your deadlines. Honor your commitments. Pay your bills. […]
Start Your Day Correctly
It’s like buttoning up a jacket. If you don’t match the first button with the correct button hole, it won’t turn out correctly. Start your day by giving the next 24 hours to God and asking Him for wisdom and strength. “Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love, for I have put […]

I Felt Blessed On the Day of My Birth
Monday, February 8 There was a card and whoopie pie on our counter when I woke up at 5:30 am – a gift from Jere and Kristen’s family. I expect that Jere dropped it off on his way to work. Dale (my oldest brother-but younger than me) and Dot stopped in just before 9:00 am […]
This is How My Birthday Week Started
Thursday, February 4 Cerwin came home from the grocery store with two beautiful bouquets of flowers. He and I enjoy roses, but since they can be rather short-lived, he also bought some daisies that he thought would survive longer. 🙂 Friday, February 5 We took a mailing to the post office, went to Village Market […]
