My Birthday Week – Day 1
Saturday, February 2 Since my 70th birthday – 5 years ago – I try to do something extra special each day of the week prior to my birthday to remind me to be thankful to God for life and family and friends. The first day of my birthday week started with a beautiful sunrise that […]
Counted Cross-Stitch Projects
What fun to get this framed photo of our grandson Jesse back from the framer. This picture means that I have now stitched all 17 of our grandchildren. I should have had this done a year ago, but got bored with doing the background and put it on a backburner for awhile. My next project […]
Wind and Snow
Wednesday, January 30 Remember the other day when I said the Sauder cousin’s lunch had a fairly small turnout because of the weather. Check out our drive home from Oregon Dairy and you will understand why some of the cousins chose to stay home. The home stretch. This is the back side of our woodlot. […]
Beautiful Evening Snow
Tuesday, January 29 The snow started when it was still daylight and farmers were taking advantage of the frozen ground to spread manure. By bedtime the wet snow had piled deep on the branches and I knew I had to take my camera outside before crawling into our warm, cozy bed. God has a delightful […]
Notes from Sunday Worship
With photos of birds during the past week Sunday, February 10 Sunday School – Teacher Kevin Longenecker What do people feel in your presence? Do they feel Jesus? Do they feel rejection? What authority do we have to pray with people or talk to them about the power of God? Matthew 28:18-20 – we have […]
Sauder Cousin’s Lunch
Wednesday, January 30 We had a fairly small group, but lots of fun. The roads weren’t great and a snow squall was predicted – and happened – while we were eating. This is Larry and Janet, Ken, and Velda. Mel (Velda’s husband) was also there, but must have been out at the buffet to get […]
The Reason There was No Blog Entry from Me Yesterday!
Cerwin and our children had a SURPRISE 75th Birthday Party for me at lunchtime. I didn’t look at my pictures yet, but wanted to post this one from Deb’s Facebook page. Look at the cake from Cake and Cup, Lititz, PA. It is a replica of my camera. I will have pictures of the day […]
Lighted Truck
I am sure this truck has had lights on it since before Christmas, but obviously we do not travel this part of RT 322 at night, because we never noticed the lights until we were on our way home from the sportsman’s show the other night. It was difficult to get a full picture because […]
I Am Blessed
Lord, I praise you because of the wonderful way you created me. Everything you do is marvelous! Of this I have no doubt. Psalm 139:14 (CEV) Thank you, God, that You are the creator of the universe and that You are the creator of me and designed me exactly to Your specifications. Thank You for bringing me into this world and […]

Sportsman’s Expo & Dinner
Saturday Evening, January 26 – Gracepoint Church Ephrata We always look forward to this program and meal at a nearby church. We like to arrive early to visit the vendors, see the prizes, and hear the afternoon seminar. Visiting vendors I stopped to admire the beautiful archery bows designed by this couple and enjoyed talking […]
Notes From Sunday Worship
Sunday, February 3 – Featuring photos from the previous week. Sunday school – taught by Nevin Ebersole – Jesus has the authority to do ANYTHING. Do we truly believe that and release our burdens to His power? Church – Winter Series: God’s Direction for this Age of Confusion Does God Want Me to be Happy? by Dustin Martin We listened to […]
Happy Birthday to Our Favorite Donovan

Bird Feeder Viewing
These are a few of the birds I have seen in the past few weeks – before we had snow. Eastern Bluebirds Mourning Doves Downy Woodpeckers Red-Bellied Woodpeckers European Starling I never tire of watching the birds.
Lunch at Fox Meadows Creamery
Friday, January 25 It was a slow, relaxing day for us, so Cerwin suggested we use one of our gift cards for Fox Meadows Creamery. That sounded good to me. His meal – half sandwich – smoked turkey panini and sweet potato fries I started with a crème brulee latte – yum I enjoyed my […]
