Rest in the Lord and be willing to wait for Him. Psalm 37:7 (NLV)
~~~ Monday, December 25th ~~~ Kristen always creates interesting table and place settings. We didn’t know what the numbers meant but learned about that later. Each person had two pieces of wrapped chocolate in their box. Kristen’s mom always had a bouquet of flowers delivered to Kristen for the Christmas meal. After she died, Jere […]
~~~ A visit to Dale and Dot’s house on Christmas Morning ~~~ Because they were having a quiet day, my brother Dale and sister-in-law Dot invited family members to stop in at their house to see the gingerbread replica of our homestead farmhouse. They did a great job. I think Dot did the basic design […]
It’s been a tradition for many years for Jere and Kristen to take their family to see a movie on Christmas Eve Day – usually in the afternoon and usually a cartoon. Roy and Deb and Cerwin and I have been included almost from the beginning. We, Deb and Barb arrived early so took advantage […]
My heart is blessed when we drive through our local town of Lititz and notice that they still put up the Nativity. The Moravian Star (to the right of the light post star and above the manger scene) is also a feature in this town which was settled by the Moravians in 1742. Another favorite […]

~~~ Sunday, December 17 ~~~ We certainly appreciated the help of Mark and Diane who were here from Maine for several days before our Sunday Christmas lunch. This is what our garage looked like on Sunday morning. No, we don’t keep carpet on our garage floor where we park the cars. We store it on […]

I had trouble staying away from the windows on Thursday, December 7 when we had a really nice snow! It was beautiful everywhere I looked.
~~~ Thursday, December 14 ~~~ Mark and Diane came (from Maine) several days early to help us prepare for our family Christmas. They had a few places they wanted to visit during their stay, so we planned a short daytrip to a few local places. First, we stopped at a CAM (Christian Aid Ministries) drop […]
I took these pictures about 4:00 pm, Wednesday, December 6.
You may remember that I featured White Oak Church’s fruit box and grocery box packing a few days ago. This is the contents of our fruit basket. Jon and Keri Cassel delivered ours. We had a delightful visit. We get one because we are “old senior citizens” which means someone in the house is 80 […]
~~~ Friday Morning, December 8 ~~~ Bennett and Waylon know exactly where to find our trucks and tractors. Bennett (left) likes the sounds of Paw Patrol in the background as he plays with his trucks. Their mom, our granddaughter Diana, had contacted us a few days earlier asking if she and the boys could come […]
I took the sunrise pictures on Friday morning, December 1. ~~~ Something to Ponder ~~~

I like seeing these beautiful hawks, but not at our birdfeeders. I wish the shepherd’s hook wasn’t in the way, but you can get an idea of its pretty feather pattern as it flew away.
