I Can Finally Post Pictures from Early March
I was having trouble connecting to the internet with my laptop, so called my trusty tech company – TCW Computers – and talked to one of the technicians. From our phone conversation, he concluded that I probably needed a new internet card – because the other two computers in the house worked fine. We took […]
LCBC Sportsman Experience
Friday Evening, March 15 For those who do not live in our area, LCBC is a large church with initials that mean Lives Changed By Christ. Our grandson Jesse trying out the Slingshot that was parked at the entrance door. A display by Kanati Elite Taxidermy Studio. This beautiful sable took me back to our […]
Prayer Breakfast
Saturday, March 16 Enjoy our beautiful drive to New Holland in the early morning. Cerwin and I enjoyed breakfast with these guys and Inge. She and I came to add a bit of color to the breakfast. Cerwin shared a few chapel stories about changed lives. I shared something I wrote – including Bible verses […]
Sunday Worship Notes
Sunday, March 17 We visited Manheim Brethren in Christ Church due to being invited to share our financial experiences with a Sunday school class. This particular class is studying Dave Ramsey financial videos, and our son Jere mentioned that Cerwin and I appreciate Dave Ramsey. Consequently the class leader thought it would be good to […]
Lunch with Doris & Sharyn
Thursday, March 14 I was honored when Doris Herr (left) invited me to join her and Sharyn Stoner for lunch at Brickerville House Restaurant. It was for Sharyn’s birthday. I have know Doris since we went to a one room school house together. She was one grade ahead of me. Sharyn lives nearby, but I […]
I Just Saw My First Robin
I know. I know. Many of you saw robins before me. But it still feels like springtime will soon be here. Also, the Eastern Bluebirds continue to bless my viewing pleasure.
Fox Meadows Lunch
Wednesday, March 13 We needed a few things at Wal-Mart – which takes us right by Fox Meadows – so it was a good time to stop for lunch. After placing our order we waited at one of the only available tables. This was my view. This was Cerwin’s view. I ordered a half Basil […]
Evidence of Penryn’s Mud Sale
The other day I looked out the window and saw an Amish neighbor taking two wagons down the road and knew where he was going – to Penryn Fire Hall for Saturday’s sale. They need lots of farm wagons for the outside auctions. I wish I could have captured a photo of him returning, because […]
Remembering the Most Brutal and Painful Day of My Life
During some years, March 16 comes and goes and I don’t think about the date, but for some reason today is not like that. Because it is the date of my mother’s death – 45 years ago – I looked for a crocus that was blooming. I didn’t have much hope in finding one, but […]
Stephanie’s Bridal Shower
Sunday, March 10 at the Balmer Pavilion I was honored to be invited to Steph’s bridal shower – as I am a great aunt. However, we Hershey great aunts do have a special connection, because they will be living on the Hershey Homestead. We are having fun watching them update the old, sandstone part of […]
Happy Birthday to Our Favorite Hezekiah
We love you! Grandpa & Grandma
A Fun Way to Change Your Attitude
Does your husband/wife do something that irritates you? Yesterday I read a suggestion for helping change your attitude about this. I forget where I read it, but the lady said her husband rarely shuts cupboard doors. It got my attention, because Cerwin is like that – often leaving cupboard doors and drawers partly open. I […]
Sunday Worship Notes
Sunday, March 10 Sunday School – Called to Sacrifice Teacher, Kevin Longenecker What is sacrifice for us – where we live – at our age (our class’ age group is mid to high 70s). Maybe giving of our time. Are we serving, giving, and sacrificing for the right reason? If not – it profits nothing. […]
Another Grandchild on the Road!
I was excited when Ian texted us yesterday and said he passed his driver’s test. I texted my congratulations and told him that I had a few things that belonged at his house if he wanted to drive over and get them. (His family lives a mile from us.) Before long I saw his black […]
New Flower Arrangement
When I was shopping at Hobby Lobby and At Home for items for the upgraded man cave the other week, I saw this and thought, “That would look nice in our kitchen bay window.” It is nice to add something new to the house now and then. It’s not something I do very often as […]
Birthday Supper with Donovan & Diana
Donovan’s restaurant of choice for his birthday meal with us. Checking out the dessert menu Listening to one of grandpa’s stories. If I remember correctly, Diana and Grandpa shared this dessert. I took care of this mini lemon dessert all by myself. What fun to hang out with these two newly-weds and hear about their […]
Bluebird & Last Carnation
I am still loving that the Eastern Bluebirds come to the feeder at our kitchen window. Some days they hold their own when a starling wants them to get out of the feeder. I am waiting to get a picture of that. 🙂 I wanted to show you my tough, little pink carnation. It was […]
