A Quick Trip to Greensboro – Part 3
Thursday, April 14 – Traveling home As I was going through the pictures of our drive home, I thought of the comments I receive now and then from people who are housebound. They tell me they like seeing pictures of our road trips because it gets them out of the house. These pictures are for you. […]
A Quick Trip to Greensboro – Part 2
Wednesday, April 13 Cerwin got right to work after we arrived at the chapel which is located at the TA at Exit 138 on I-85/I-40 and Highway 61 in Greensboro, NC. The first thing he did was clean the air conditioner. While he did that I admired the colorful trucks as I walked to the truck stop […]

A Vacation for My Soul – Part 2
Sunday Afternoon, April 10 I am not even going to attempt to put names to the flowers and budding trees in Sam’s orchard. I’ll let you do that if you know what species they belong to. There were a few signs of snow in the shaded areas. Susie the dog (I think that’s her name), Sam, […]
A Vacation for My Soul
Sunday, April 10 There was still a bit of snow among our flower beds when we woke up on Sunday morning. Our tulips have been through a lot of stress this spring – snow, hail, and more snow. A day or two earlier we decided to visit our friends Sam and Alice after church, because […]

Happy 75th Birthday
I love sharing my life with you and participating in what you have allowed God to do with your life. You are patient, kind, hardworking, and fun. A real man of God. I think of you every time I read Psalm 1:1-3 Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in […]
Snow on Saturday, April 9
The weatherman said it may snow – and snow it did! I was surprised by hail the day before, now we were getting a real April snowstorm. By the time it stopped snowing, we had four inches of snow. This is about the time I noticed that these two were courting. It seems like there […]

Rainy Day & A New Puppy
Thursday, April 7 Remember in my previous post that I was concerned about our tulips because of freezing temperatures – the next day it rained and the tulips looked beautiful. I love a rainy day. I’m not the only one who loves a rainy day. The robins were having a great time looking for worms. […]
Cold Mornings
After having a beautiful day today, it is difficult to remember the very cold mornings of Tuesday, April 5 and Wednesday, April 6 when there was ice in the birdbath. I wondered if our tulips would survive the freezing temperatures. The suet was even frozen – making it more difficult for the birds. They were […]
