Winter Creek and Something to Ponder
We can upon this very high winter creek on our backroad drive. It looked cold and gray. ~~~ Something to Ponder ~~~
Discovery on a Backroad Drive and Something to Ponder
We were not aware of this deer “farm” so close to us. Just one of the blessings of taking a new backroad. They were well protected from us and from escaping. — Something to Ponder —
Our First Home and Something to Ponder
When going out to eat lunch on New Year’s Day we made what could have been a four -mile drive into about fifteen miles. The first back road we chose went past the house where we lived when we got married in 1963 – sixty years ago. The Graybill’s worked the fields and had cattle, […]
Gray New Year’s Day Sky and Something to Ponder
When leaving on our backroad New Year’s Drive to lunch, I noticed the very overcast sky. There is something pretty in a gray sky. ~~~ Something to Ponder ~~~
Hickory Nuts Silhouetted Against a Sunrise
Cerwin has used the nut picker upper and raked them until he filled eight wheelbarrow loads of hickory nuts, yet the trees seem to still be filled with them. They looked pretty silhouetted against the sunrise a few days ago. There definitely was a bumper crop this year. Our squirrels should be happy through the […]
Pork and Sauerkraut and Something to Ponder
Pork and Sauerkraut is a local tradition for New Year’s Day, so Cerwin offered to take me to Brickerville House for lunch. He doesn’t like sauerkraut so had a loaded baked potato which he declared the best he ever had. I needed a take home box and have enough for two more meals. ~~~ Something […]

Our Youngest Grandchild Is on the Road!

Christmas Lunch at Jere and Kristen’s
~~~ 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 […]
Gingerbread Farmhouse
~~~ 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 […]
Going to See the Movie Migration
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 […]
