An Evening with Nate and Abby’s Family
~~~ Sunday, February 25 ~~~ Following a pizza supper at our house – for Abby’s birthday – we played Ticket to Ride. Anthony learned to play it recently and wanted to play it with us. Around the table: Anthony, Cerwin, Nate, Abby and Natalie. Renee and Jasmine were playing in the toy room. We hadn’t […]
Something to Ponder
These two snowy pictures in my file, versus today’s sunny spring-like weather reminded me of one of my favorite poems, Contentment.
Meeting Aleah Grace
~~~ Friday, February 23 ~~~ Zach and Gloria were delighted to introduce us to their sweet little Aleah who was born on Valentine’s Day – February 14. It’s been about half a year since we held a new-born baby. She is our 15th great grandchild. We look forward to watching her grow up.
A Birthday Party for Renee
~~~ Thursday Evening, February 22 ~~~ It’s always fun to attend a birthday party for a one-year-old. They have no idea of what is going on, but they have fun when all the attention is on them. Supper was a delicious blend of vegetables, meat, and cheese baked in a cookie sheet. There was also […]
Birthday Breakfast with Jere
~~~ Tuesday, February 20 ~~~ I drove into the beautiful sunrise to meet Jere at Stonehouse Cafe in downtown Clay. Jere (our third child and youngest son) usually takes me out for breakfast for my birthday – and my 80th was no different. Oh, what fun to have this special hour with him. Pretty plants […]
Brunch with a Friend and Something to Ponder
~~~ Wednesday, February 21 ~~~ This was Cookie’s birthday, so I invited her out for brunch. We don’t see each other very often these days, but we sure have fun catching up. We became friends in the early ’70s when our children were small – and she was a brand-new Christian. We hung out together […]
New Electric Poles
We have been watching this process for many months, as these skilled workmen installed new electric poles in our neighborhood. We knew they were soon going to be working in front of our house, when they laid a “road” of strong skids through the fields that connected with this field – from north to south. […]
Our Updated Bathroom
I took a few pictures of what our bathroom has looked like since 1967 when we built the house. We changed a few things like the window dressing – from curtain to venetian blind to solar blind and of course we changed a few other things, like decorations and towel colors. 🙂 Our toilet was […]
Sportsman’s Dinner at Ephrata Business Center
~~~ Saturday Evening February 17 ~~~ We always enjoy this interesting program. I was looking forward to this one because the speaker was Jason Caldwell. He is an experienced falconer with many interesting stories and lots of information. I think this is the third or fourth time I have listened to one of his presentations. […]
A Winter Starling and Something to Ponder
Though starlings are a bit pesky, I think their distinctive feather pattern is prettier in winter than in summer. ~~~ Something to Ponder ~~~
Writing a StoryWorth Book
Our daughter Deb was pleased to hold her book shortly after it arrived in our mail a few weeks ago. We bought one for us and each of our children. It was toward the end of 2022 when she asked if I would consider answering one question a week (each Monday) which would in turn […]
A Robin and Something to Ponder
Are you taking a picture of me? I look better from this side. It’s time to leave. ~~~ Something to Ponder ~~~
