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!
When Jesse stopped in on Saturday morning, he just stood there for a bit smiling, then it “hit us” he was alone and I said, “I bet you just passed your drivers test.” He smiled and said, “Yes.” He is blessed with the old family Jeep that each of his older brothers used. I think […]

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 […]
Nativity and Glorious Impossible
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 […]

Our Christmas
~~~ 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 […]

Snow (two weeks ago)
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.
