~~~ Sunday, July 9 ~~~ This is a fairly new Amish neighbor. They have lived here a few years and I understand it is the first time they had worship in their house. We noticed all the buggies as we went to our worship services that morning. After going home, I got my camera to […]
~~~ Friday Evening, July 7 ~~~ My post will now go back to when life was a bit more normal – before Hannah’s memorial services overtook our lives. We had planned this supper a week or two earlier. After Hannah’s death on the 4th, Deb asked if we wanted to keep this appointment. I replied, […]
~~~ Thursday, July 13 and Friday, July 14 ~~~ After arriving at our hotel in Auburn, Maine, and settling in our rooms, we (Jeff, Chris, Diana, Deb, Cerwin and I) chose a nearby restaurant for a light supper before going to the viewing. There was a nearby bar area with numbered cups. If you have […]
~~~ Friday Afternoon, July 14 ~~~ The pallbearers were Hannah’s two brothers, brother-in-law and friends. Putting her casket on the back of a pickup truck. She loved big, noisy pickup trucks.

~~~ Thursday Evening and Friday Morning July 13 & 14 ~~~ We left home at 6 am on Thursday morning in a two-car caravan. Our driver was Diana (granddaughter) with her dad Jeff in the passenger seat.

These made a beautiful appearance in our memory garden the other week. They grabbed my attention the other day when I was looking out a window because of their brilliant burgundy and orange glow. I never cease to be amazed at the flowers in God’s garden creation.

~~~ Monday Evening July 3 8:18 pm ~~~ What do birds talk about when they are sitting on a wire? Or, do they just sit there silently enjoying the atmosphere waiting for the sun to set at the end of a day?
~~~ Sunday Afternoon, July 2 ~~~ We had a great afternoon looking at videos that Sam recently had transferred to DVDs. Afterward we had a light supper. Most of the videos were of our 1996 trip to Nova Scotia. I looked up a few photos that we have of the same trip. Me, Alice (now […]
I am surprised that we have had only one mushroom in our yard during the past week or two as our weather has been rainy and muggy.

~~~ Friday, June 30 ~~~ Jesse was delighted to pass his driving permit test. Yes, we made sure that he is showing the wrong side of the card. 🙂 He was kind of hoping this old Jeep would “die” before he got it. It is the vehicle each of Jere and Kristen’s five children use […]
