Sunday, December 1 It was a cold, icy afternoon – the Sunday after Thanksgiving Day. There must have been something going on in the local Amish community, because we saw more carriages than normal for a Sunday after church. I love cold, rainy, icy Sundays!
Jeff had a good day of whitetail hunting on a neighbor’s farm today. We were at a grocery store shopping for our Christmas lunch tomorrow when he called, so we stopped by to see it (on the way to another grocery store) and hear about his experience. His son-in-law Donovan was with him and is […]
I didn’t think I was ready for snow, but we have been teased with a few light snowfalls recently. I think the idea of winter is growing on me. 🙂 I was surprised to look out our kitchen window the other night – before going to bed – and seeing snow. Bring it on winter. […]
Saturday Morning, November 30 After receiving the obituary of Idell Johnson – a TFC chaplain’s wife from our time of serving TFC Global in the Northeast Region (1990 – 2005), we decided to attend her funeral in Stroudsburg. Idell’s Obituary Photo. She was 89 and had been doing well until she was hospitalized recently – […]
Thursday, November 28 Jere and Kristen chose to use this gathering to celebrate Tucker’s 7th birthday which was in mid-November. Waiting with Grandpa Mark for the birthday cake. A really cute cake for a seven-year-old. The large, gold candle is really a piece of candy. After taking a bite out of the candy, she wore […]

Thursday Noon – November 28 – At Jere and Kristen’s House I understand that Jana was in charge of the table settings and decorations. It was nice that we each had a name tag. This was on the stove so I think it was for fragrance. The smoked turkey. Yum. There was also a baked […]

I enjoy seeing these pretty birds regularly during the winter months and on occasion during the rest of the year. When you see a red spot on the back of its head, you know it is a male. I checked to see if I can learn anything new about this woodpecker. They feed on insects, […]
Sunday, November 24 We could see the snow coming down – in large flakes – during our worship service yesterday. A bush in front of our car was covered with wet, heavy snow. Some of the guys went outside just before the close of worship and scraped the parking lot. They also offered to drive […]
