Working at Blessings of Hope, Leola
~~~ Wednesday, December 4 ~~~ Anthony, Diane and Cerwin Diane hears about our time at Blessings of Hope, and asked if we could volunteer on a day when she is here. She is now listed as an official volunteer – from Maine. 🙂 Now all she had to do is have her card scanned when […]
White-breasted Nuthatch and Something to Ponder
I can’t tell if this is a male or female. The male has a darker head than the female. There is not another to compare it to. The male has a glossy crown and grey/black back, the female has a dull black crown and gray back. ~~~ Something to Ponder ~~~
My Secret Sister Is Still Secret
This was on the table near our church mailbox on Sunday, November 30. My name was on it, but there was no signature. It is obvious that she wants to remain secret – but purposeful in blessing me. I am trying to keep it cool and watered so it will last until our family Christmas […]
A Birthday Party for Lydia
Diane planned this party and put candles in a pudding she made for the meal. Singing Happy Birthday to Lydia after our gift of a Two Cousins meal for her and Nathaniel (right). Her birthday would be in two days. His birthday was a few weeks ago. Lydia with Nate and Abby’s new baby Garth. […]
Red-bellied Woodpecker and Something to Ponder

Meeting Garth Isaac for the First Time

Yellow-bellied Sapsucker and Something to Ponder
She began looking for suet on the ground below the feeder that was empty. But first she made sure she was welcome. ~~~ Something to Ponder ~~~
Jeff’s Interesting Whitetail Hunt
~~~ Saturday, November 30 ~~~ Our oldest son Jeff had been at the neighbor’s farm (where he usually hunts) for the opening day of deer hunting. It is a cold and windy day here in PA – as low at 22 degrees. After seeing only one doe by late morning, he went home to relax […]
Taking the Children to Pretzel Hut
~~~ Sunday Evening, November 24 ~~~ Earlier in the afternoon Diane revealed her plan through their daily surprise boxes. It looks like it was Natalie’s turn to open the box. Inside there were peanut butter filled pretzels. That is when she revealed that we were going to Pretzel Hut which is only 6 1/2 miles […]
Horse and Rider in the Field

More Pictures of Great Grandchildren
