Rest in the Lord and be willing to wait for Him. Psalm 37:7 (NLV)
~~~ Tuesday Morning, April 1 ~~~ Our second chalk art session began about 9:40 am when Elva introduced “The Story of the Cross”. She used music like, The Old Rugged Cross, and a recording of her voice, explaining the sacrifice Jesus made for us. I will just show the picture as it developed under her […]
~~~ Tuesday, April 1 ~~~ It was a beautiful day for a one-and-a-half-mile, round trip, walk in the Blue Ridge Mountains behind The Cove. To enter the path, we went down the steps behind The Training Center. There is a nicely paved walkway near the buildings. The path into the mountain is well marked. Our […]
~~~ Tuesday Morning, April 1 ~~~ Our first session was a chalk art program by Elva (who organized this tour with Bob Neff Tours and Prelude Tours) while her daughter Bethany played piano and sang a variety of gospel songs. Elva (left) was joined by Ruth Ann, another chalk artist. They only met recently. I […]
I have so many pictures from Tuesday and Wednesday that I put them in categories for easier posting. Today I will introduce you to the four main buildings on these 1,600 acres in the Blue Ridge Mountains owned by the Billy Graham Association. This retreat center is about 15 miles from their home in Montreat, […]
~~~ Monday, March 31 ~~~ Cerwin and I decided last year that it was the time in our lives to let someone else do the driving for our vacations. Bob Neff Tours is a popular tour ministry/business in our area, so we signed up to receive their email advertisements. Toward the end of the year, […]

~~~ Saturday, March 29 1:00 pm ~~~ Kristen and I arrived about 12:30 pm so we had time to help if necessary – and take a few pictures. This is the church where Jared (Jere & Kristen’s son and our grandson) and Yeira attend). Yeira (right) and her friends were preparing the apple platter when […]

~~~ Saturday, March 22 ~~~ Eliminating bugs and insets from trees and grass seems to be a yearly job for those who live in a woodlot. This treatment is especially for the root system of trees. A few days before this we had a professional pest control company come to spray around the house as […]
~~~ Wednesday, March 19 ~~~ I love that the front of our house faces southwest.
~~~ Saturday, March 22 at Lampeter Church of the Brethren ~~~ We (Sam Rittenhouse, Inge Koenig, Cerwin and I) enjoyed another production by The Promise Players. Muddled Memories is a Bible Journey using a “play” on some familiar Bible stories. I will do my best to give my memories of this fun and interesting production. […]
It was kind of amusing to watch this squirrel eating a piece of bird suet like an ear of corn. Notice the orange sunset in the background. ~~~ Something to Ponder ~~~
Inge, these pictures are especially for you. Our backyard border is a burial place for a few of Inge’s precious cats. In their memory she has planted spring flowers. This photo was taken on March 13 when Timothy and Barnabas’ daffodils were just beginning to open. This is what they look like today – 12 […]
~~~ Wednesday Evening, March 19 ~~~ Imagine my delight as we turned a corner on a road just before arriving home and saw this. The timing was perfect to capture our neighbor’s bison with the sunset in the background. It was a scene that I was so thankful to observe. We just stayed and watched […]
~~~ Tuesday, March 18 ~~~ Marcy (left), Emma (Cookie to us) and I have been friends for many years and have rarely missed a year of celebrating our February birthdays. However, we don’t always celebrate in February. Our sweet waitress agreed to take our picture. Marcy and I became friends in high school and Cookie […]
