Our Family Christmas – Part 2
Sunday, December 3 After the food and lunch tables were put away, Cerwin and I showed slides of each person as a baby. We no longer exchange names and gifts, so I asked, “If you had this person’s name, who would you have had to buy a gift for?” I am only going to show […]
Our Family Christmas Lunch – Part 1
Sunday, December 3 We prepared the tables on Saturday Diana and Gloria were two of the first to arrive – giving Grandpa time to ask them about their hunting experiences. Both shot a deer this year. Jenna asked for a scissors because she noticed a few hairs that she missed when giving Dustan a haircut. […]
Fun with a New Gadget
Saturday, December 2 It doesn’t take much for me to have fun with a new gadget. 🙂 Cerwin bought a cell phone holder to attach to our RAV4 dash vent so we can use it for a GPS when necessary. I learned that it is a great place to store my phone when traveling – […]
Cookies from My Sister
Saturday Evening, December 2 This makes me think of the phrase, “My sister is better than yours.” 🙂 She and her girls (daughters and granddaughters) get together each year to make hundreds of cookies – many of them for gifts and for Christmas meals. ~~~ Thank you girls!
A Frosty Morning
Saturday, December 2 When I first looked outside, I thought, “Wow, our car is dusty.” Then I realized that it was frost. I went outside to find some frost, but almost waited too long. The morning sun had already melted most of it. Â The prettiest frost was on our tea leaves. I also found […]

We Have a Boarder
Several weeks ago our granddaughter Lydia called to see if she could stay with us for awhile – if she moved here from Maine. I expect that she will be here for awhile until she gets settled in a job. She came about a week ago and is looking for a job in the food […]

Thanksgiving Lunch
Thursday, November 23 We always look forward to this meal because Jere and Kristen seem to thrive on preparing Thanksgiving lunch for anyone in our family who doesn’t have a place to go. It looks like we better save room for dessert. Time to carve the turkey. Learning to cut turkey from their dad. Josh […]
Sight and Sound with Nate and Josh
Friday Evening, November 17 Arriving at Sight & Sound to see Miracle of Christmas. We walked toward the building with people who came from Michigan – just to see this show. We sat in front of people who came from New York for the same purpose. This was Josh and Nate’s choice for their 2017 […]
Opossums at Our Bird Feeders
Tuesday Evening, November 14 We have an exterior camera – mostly to watch animals and hear the birds – that alerted me to the fact that something was rustling through the leaves on the patio steps. I looked up at the monitor and saw two opossums walking across the patio. One larger than the other, […]
Amish Wedding in the Neighborhood
Tuesday Morning, November 14 We knew there was going to be an Amish wedding in our neighborhood, and when I heard the sound of horses and buggies I knew, November 14 was the day. By 8:00 am I began seeing the Amish arriving in vans. Those who came from a distance hired van drivers. By […]

This is part of my personal journal that I read on the 27th of each month.
Jesse and Me at McDonalds
Sunday, October 12 Jesse’s parents had places to be – band competition for Ian and a wrestling match for Jared – and Jesse thought both sounded boring. He though it would be more fun to spend the day with Grandma. (Grandpa was in Nebraska.) Jesse and me at McDonald’s. (Yes, I must learn to do […]
