Saturday evening, February 20 Cerwin and some of Glen’s TFC friends. We loved how his children had decorated the tables with some of Glen’s model truck collection. We chose to sit at this table. 🙂 Glen drove for Yellow Freight – today it is known as YRC. Most of the attendees were their children – […]
Saturday, February 20 During the previous, cold, windy weekend, Cerwin and I decided that we needed a mini, local vacation. (This was the weekend before Mother High’s death, so we didn’t want to go very far.) After the prayer breakfast, we visited Mother, then went to hear Mark Lowery. Most of you know him as a […]

European Starling A beautiful sunset On the 17th I had a delightful and delicious breakfast at Lintia’s Restaurant with my sister Nancy, then on the 19th – after Lois and Mary helped label the Highway News – our grandson Nathan took […]
We enjoyed a nice variety of birds in February – probably because of a few snow storms. Female Downy Woodpecker Sparrow and Downy Woodpecker Female White-breasted Nuthatch Male White-breasted Nuthatch Squirrels also enjoyed birdseed. House Sparrow and European Starling Male Hairy Woodpecker Mourning Dove Yellow-bellied Sapsucker American Goldfinch in its winter colors Male Red-bellied Woodpecker […]

Northern Flicker eating suet Stretching to see me During the middle of the afternoon my sister, Nancy, brought us some freshly made donuts. She does this every year in honor of our mother.
Saturday Evening, February 13 Yes, I know. I am way behind on posting pictures, but there has been a lot going on in our lives – and current pictures took precedence over posting them in order. 🙂 We were pleased to be invited to this special meal by Roy and Deb (our youngest daughter) Our […]
Friday, March 4 and Saturday, March 5 I am posting a few highlights from Mother’s viewing and funeral (yesterday and today) – then when the other pictures come up in my rotation, I will show you the rest. This was the day we said goodbye to the body that Mother lived in while here on earth. I […]
Saturday, February 13 On our way to go out for supper, we came upon this back-country road where the snow was blowing – making traffic rather slow and at times hazardous. Before long the two-lane road became one lane. When we met traffic coming the other way, several of us pulled in the driveway of an Amish […]
Saturday, February 13 This neighbor man and his dog seemed to enjoy the wind and snow. The wind was blowing the birdseed away so I put a block of suet in the frozen birdbath. This pretty blue jay seemed to appreciate it. Yes, it truly felt like winter in the middle of February.
This was the day the construction crew began repair on my brothers’ barn roof – the part that collapsed under the weight of the heavy snow a few weeks earlier. An Amish man in the area “fertilizing” the field. Valentine roses from Cerwin Stromboli – my valentine gift to Cerwin My photo memories from the middle of […]
I took these pictures on Thursday, February 11 Both the ice and bird looked pretty in the mid-day sunshine. She was enjoying the suet I have hanging on the dogwood tree. I know it is a she, because part of her head is gray. The males have red heads.
It was a beautiful snow day. Words are not necessary. Enjoy. The snow is gone, but it is good to be reminded of the beauty.
Friday, February 26 When we went back to Landis Homes on Friday morning to remove Mother’s belongings, we saw this beautiful memorial – outside her door. Cerwin and his sister, Velda, with Mother’s cartfull of personal items. Elvin removed a few things the day before – the clock and TV belong to his family. ~~~ There are not enough words in the […]
Monday, February 8 After the falconry program in the Small Arena, Cerwin joined me for the Archery Show by Chris Brackett Breaking a balloon I’m not sure what he was hitting here, but he shot small balls and Lifesavers. A taxidermist’s display I wanted Cerwin to see the dog competition. This time the show was competition […]
At this point, her obituary is only on Buch Funeral Home listing. He suggested that we wait until Monday to make it public so people know it is next weekend and not this weekend. To see it, go to the link below. http://www.buchfuneral.com/obituaries/obituary-listings?obId=795075#/obituaryInfo
Monday, February 8 I don’t derive great joy in going to where there are great crowds of people, but Cerwin, Jeff, Jordan, Donovan, Diana, and Gloria were going – and it was my birthday. What I do enjoy is watching activities that are going on in the Large and Small Arenas while the others are visiting […]
