Setting Up the Chapel at San Antonio, Florida
Wednesday, December 5 Drivers, Exit 285 on I-75 is where you will find this new chapel location. It is easy to call this Dade City because it is a familiar Florida city. However, the truck stop is located much closer to San Antonio, which is the city on the street address. San Antonio sounds like […]
Savannah to Dade City
Tuesday, December 4 We left our motel in Savannah, Georgia, shortly after 6 am and were on the road to Ocala, Florida. Enjoy the beautiful sunrise. This is my favorite time of day to travel. We saw lots of flags at half-staff to honor George H.W. Bush. Entering the Pilot Travel Center at Ocala, Florida, […]
Moving a Chapel to Dade City, Florida
Monday, December 3 We were on the road early Monday morning to begin our trip to Florida – going through the toll both at Lancaster/Lebanon Entrance/Exit of the Pennsylvania Turnpike at. 4:28 am which is only a few miles from our house. Our oldest RAV4 was loaded with supplies for moving the chapel from Ocala, […]
Our Christmas ~ Part 3
Sunday, December 2 We usually like to do something with slides at our Christmas gathering and give them some family information. Last year we used their baby pictures and had them guess who the baby was. This year we gave them some information on two lines of our family heritage. Two families that most of […]
Our Christmas ~ Part 2
Sunday, December 2 Gathering for prayer before the meal – but singing happy birthday to Lydia first. Prayer Jesse was first in line for the food buffet. I made “haystacks”, which means you can put together a large salad with anything you want. Or if you don’t like salads, there is chili con carne, dinner […]
Our Christmas ~ Part 1
Sunday, December 2 What fun preparing for our family this year as we set up tables for 33 people. Everyone was able to come except Nsimba, Elizabeth, and Nicodemus from Maine – and Kayla from Tennessee. There was even one extra – Katie, a friend of Roy and Deb. That’s why Cerwin and I have […]

Minnesota Walleye
Tuesday, November 27 Oh, what a delight to fry walleye for supper – delivered (frozen) from Minnesota by Cerwin’s sister, Doris, and Bob Stauffer when they visited a few weeks ago. I expect Bob caught this treasure in a Bemidji lake. Thank you! It was delicious.
Another RAV4 for Us
Tuesday, November 27 Even though our 1999 van is having issues, we feel almost sad to sell it “as is” at a local car auction. We bought it new in 1999 and it has served us well for nineteen years. I think each of our grandchildren have ridden it – often five at a time. […]
Josiah’s Deep Tissue Massage
Wednesday, November 28 I have gone to Carla for a massage for the past fourteen years – after my siblings gave me a gift card for a massage. I was hooked after the first appointment and have gone almost every month since 2004. When I was there last week, she suggested that she come to […]
Too Beautiful to Ignore
Yesterday’s sunrise was too beautiful to ignore even though it was frigid for outside photography. I am blessed to know The Painter of the Skies.
Potato Cakes
Sunday, November 25 – Part of our lunch don’t know when I last made potato cakes – probably because I rarely make mashed potatoes anymore. I didn’t follow a recipe – but you can find one. I added eggs, flour, and a bit of onion. Thank you, Jere and Kristen for the leftover mashed potatoes […]
