Friday, March 3 through Saturday, March 11 Jesse arrived sick with a fever, but that was okay with me. Jere and Kristen needed to be on a plane early Saturday morning. It’s not the first time there was a sick child in our house. 🙂 I kept Jere and Kristen updated during the day as his […]
Saturday, March 4 I hung a new suet feeder – a gift from our daughter Deb. Later our suet feeders were invaded by a group of starlings. They’re kind of fun to watch.
Sunday, March 12 I rarely take pictures of the guys and gals who use our man cave, because I respect their privacy, but today I wanted a picture of these three friends because tomorrow Lathan leaves for the U.S. Army. I wanted the picture for myself, but they gave me permission to post it here and on Facebook. […]
Friday Evening, March 3 Cerwin and I – and some of our family members and friends enjoyed this dinner and program. The stage was decorated with beautiful wildlife mounts. Dinner by Hess Catering. There was also a choice of sodas or water and cake. I enjoy visiting vendors. This one caught my eye, because you can go on a […]
Friday, March 3 This is what it looked like at our place one week ago – and again today. I think we had a bit more snow today. The birds are always busy on snowy days. Many of our days have been so warm that spring flowers are coming up. Within minutes the sun came […]
Wednesday, March 1 Myrtle has been part of our family’s life since my childhood – as she and her husband, Henry, were partners in Bomberger’s Store – which was one of the local grocery stores we used when I was growing up. I found this on the Internet: Phares Bomberger (Henry’s father), at the age […]
Monday, February 27 A beautiful sunrise on the way to Brickerville House Restaurant. When Inge invited us to join her for a birthday breakfast, I asked if she would like Elizabeth and Nsimba to join us. She was delighted to see them again and talk to Nsimba in Portuguese. Inge likes to eat in the library room. […]
Sunday Evening, February 26 Abby and Josh The evening started with a 5 pm supper with the High family – the reason Elizabeth and Nsimba decided to come to Pennsylvania. Everyone brought something to contribute to the meal. Cerwin and I provided the Cheeseburger Soup. There is lots of noise, laughter, and visiting when we […]
Sunday, February 26 Nsimba and Elizabeth wanted a weekend away, and since the High family was coming to our place for Sunday supper, they chose to drive to Pennsylvania – from Maine. We decided to invite my siblings (Hersheys) to drop in during the afternoon, and told Elizabeth that she was welcome to invite the […]
Monday, February 20 I loved how the evening sun highlighted this squirrel’s tail as he munched on seeds from a birdfeeder. ~~~ Friday, February 24 We enjoyed watching these Amish school children playing a variety of games in their school yard. We were on a country road we seldom travel – after taking a TFC mailing to […]
Tuesday, February 21 The morning sunrise changed by the minute. After a light supper, we met Nate, Abby, and Anthony at Fox Meadows Creamery for ice cream. It was what Abby chose for her birthday treat. So many delicious choices We chose a table in the small room behind the ordering area. Abby, Anthony, and […]
Monday, February 20 You may remember that Cerwin and I joined many others in our church congregation who are doing something special in 2017 to bless our preachers. We have chosen to take each preacher and his wife out for supper, and asked them to choose another couple from church that they do not know […]
Sunday, February 19 After church we went to Fairmont Homes to visit Cerwin’s Uncle Luke and Aunt Willa Mae. I wanted to take a picture of them, but waited too long, and was uncomfortable doing it after two other couples arrived. We had a great afternoon with them. Two days later we had a sunrise that […]
I am the only sibling of the five of us who isn’t really involved in the transition of the family farm. My three brothers are selling it to my sister’s daughter Karen, her husband, and son. So, I was surprised at my emotional response. But seeing two large cattle trucks at the farm today totally unglued […]
Saturday morning, February 18. We left the house about 6:45 and drove toward a beautiful sunrise. There was beauty everywhere as we drove from Brickerville to New Holland on RT 322. Then as we turned off of 322 we were greeted by this beautiful row of trees and bushes. I love seeing bare trees on […]
