Saturday Evening, February 8 We had a beautiful evening drive to Lancaster We arrived at Checkers a bit early to make sure the staff knew we remembered our reservation for eight. Waiting in the entrance area. The lighting wasn’t real great for group – our Pennsylvania children – but this is what we got from […]
Saturday Morning, February 8 It was a beautiful birthday morning. I arrived at church a bit early to get some pictures before the ladies began arriving. This was at the entrance to the fellowship hall. Decorations at the windows The committee did a great job of beautifying the tables. There were succulent gifts for each […]
Friday, February 7 Cerwin was doing a milk sample pick up for our brother-in-law, Mel. (He and Velda are vacationing in Florida.) Since it’s not Cerwin’s normal pick up, I decided to go along for another “special event” during my birthday week. Our son, Jere, is his dad’s boss for this job. 🙂 Jere is […]
We love you! Grandpa and Grandma High
Thursday, February 6 Our granddaughter Lydia and I have been trying to get together for affogatos at Fox Creamery for several weeks. (The iced drink is also hers.) Each time she had a day off from work and was in the mood for an affogato, it didn’t suit me. Finally, I said to her, “Let’s […]
One of my favorite memories is from a time I stayed at their place over night and Aunt Joyce and I were pulling her around the basement in a wagon. I have no idea how we convinced her to get in the wagon, but we got silly and were all three laughing when Grandma said, […]
Wednesday, February 5 Cerwin blessed me with flowers as part of my birthday week. He knows I like flowers in the kitchen – especially in Winter when everything is cold and bare outside. I put a few small stems in this vase and placed it on the windowsill. It was a rather uneventful day – […]
Tuesday, February 4 Oh, how I love this yearly date with Chris, Kristen and Deb. It is even better when our Maine daughter, Diane, is able to join us, but that didn’t work out this year. My restaurant of choice — to help celebrate my birthday week – was Knight & Day Diner. Chris (daughter-in-love) […]
I’ve gathered fifteen of my favorite bluebird pictures from recent weeks – and thought you might like to see them too.

It was a beautiful Sunday morning. As a day in my pre-birthday week, I treasured worshipping with our church family and was blessed by the discussion in Sunday school and the sermon from our winter series on spiritual growth. I asked Cerwin if we could go to McDonalds for lunch as I had a craving […]
Saturday Morning, February 1 We arrived here about 10 am (after Ice Cream for Breakfast and the other stops I told you about yesterday). This is where the Winter & Roses Vendor and Craft Show was held. Sabrina was just inside the door with her beautiful Solid Hew display of live edge boards. Kathy talking […]
Saturday Morning, February 1 Fox Creamery opened early (8:00 am) to celebrate “Ice Cream for Breakfast Day.” We decided to join the celebration as the beginning of my birthday week. Now that I am old, I try to do something special each day in the week leading up to my birthday. 🙂 Cerwin took this […]
Thursday Morning, January 30 Jere usually goes to this breakfast with Jesse. If it doesn’t suit him, Kristen goes. If it doesn’t suit either of them, Cerwin goes. This is the first time I went – because it didn’t suit any of them. We had a delicious meal of breakfast pizza, cinnamon buns and apple […]
Wednesday Evening, January 29 Thanks to Jere for calling us so we did not miss this. For some reason I had it on my calendar for the next night. 🙂 Thankfully we don’t live far from the school. It was a fairly even match for awhile, then it felt like his opponent was making illegal […]
We love you! Grandpa and Grandma High
Wednesday, January 29 It is always fun to enjoy lunch and visit with some of Cerwin’s Sauder cousins. (We do this four times a year.) There were two from the next generation – a cousin’s son – closest to the camera and Elvin and Pat’s daughter, Crystal (our niece), top of the picture with long […]
