Rest in the Lord and be willing to wait for Him. Psalm 37:7 (NLV)
Thursday, March 14 I was honored when Doris Herr (left) invited me to join her and Sharyn Stoner for lunch at Brickerville House Restaurant. It was for Sharyn’s birthday. I have know Doris since we went to a one room school house together. She was one grade ahead of me. Sharyn lives nearby, but I […]
I know. I know. Many of you saw robins before me. But it still feels like springtime will soon be here. Also, the Eastern Bluebirds continue to bless my viewing pleasure.
Wednesday, March 13 We needed a few things at Wal-Mart – which takes us right by Fox Meadows – so it was a good time to stop for lunch. After placing our order we waited at one of the only available tables. This was my view. This was Cerwin’s view. I ordered a half Basil […]
The other day I looked out the window and saw an Amish neighbor taking two wagons down the road and knew where he was going – to Penryn Fire Hall for Saturday’s sale. They need lots of farm wagons for the outside auctions. I wish I could have captured a photo of him returning, because […]
During some years, March 16 comes and goes and I don’t think about the date, but for some reason today is not like that. Because it is the date of my mother’s death – 45 years ago – I looked for a crocus that was blooming. I didn’t have much hope in finding one, but […]
Sunday, March 10 at the Balmer Pavilion I was honored to be invited to Steph’s bridal shower – as I am a great aunt. However, we Hershey great aunts do have a special connection, because they will be living on the Hershey Homestead. We are having fun watching them update the old, sandstone part of […]
We love you! Grandpa & Grandma
Does your husband/wife do something that irritates you? Yesterday I read a suggestion for helping change your attitude about this. I forget where I read it, but the lady said her husband rarely shuts cupboard doors. It got my attention, because Cerwin is like that – often leaving cupboard doors and drawers partly open. I […]
Sunday, March 10 Sunday School – Called to Sacrifice Teacher, Kevin Longenecker What is sacrifice for us – where we live – at our age (our class’ age group is mid to high 70s). Maybe giving of our time. Are we serving, giving, and sacrificing for the right reason? If not – it profits nothing. […]
I was excited when Ian texted us yesterday and said he passed his driver’s test. I texted my congratulations and told him that I had a few things that belonged at his house if he wanted to drive over and get them. (His family lives a mile from us.) Before long I saw his black […]
When I was shopping at Hobby Lobby and At Home for items for the upgraded man cave the other week, I saw this and thought, “That would look nice in our kitchen bay window.” It is nice to add something new to the house now and then. It’s not something I do very often as […]
Donovan’s restaurant of choice for his birthday meal with us. Checking out the dessert menu Listening to one of grandpa’s stories. If I remember correctly, Diana and Grandpa shared this dessert. I took care of this mini lemon dessert all by myself. What fun to hang out with these two newly-weds and hear about their […]
I am still loving that the Eastern Bluebirds come to the feeder at our kitchen window. Some days they hold their own when a starling wants them to get out of the feeder. I am waiting to get a picture of that. 🙂 I wanted to show you my tough, little pink carnation. It was […]
Tuesday, February 26 After Josiah was healthy enough to move out and be on his own again (following his motorcycle accident), we decided to upgrade his recovery room to a den. Our biggest purchase was a new sofa from La-Z-Boy, which arrived on Tuesday, February 26. When we built this house and moved here in […]
Sunday, February 24 There was an unusual late afternoon shower/drizzle which created a rainbow that looked like it ended in the field near our house. See what I mean by it ending in the field next to our house. It colored the trees behind it. I am not sure that I have ever been this […]
We have been included in quite a few meetings at the International Office since the beginning of the year. I saved a variety of photos to make one post. But – first things first – coffee and a donut. 🙂 Mike, Ron, Bunny and Cerwin discussing an issue with one of the chapels. Cerwin was […]
Sunday, February 24 The tables were already set when we stopped in the fellowship hall before Sunday school – to make sure the coffee pots were set to go. I also put several pitchers of water in the refrigerator to chill until lunchtime. I figured that someone had gotten the forsythia at a greenhouse, but […]
