My Mother’s Day Weekend
I always have mixed feelings when Mother’s Day arrives. It’s a time when I am aware of my weaknesses as a person and as a mother and a time when it is fun having our children honor me in various ways. The weekend began with a pretty impatient from Jeff. He always comes early on […]

Anthony’s 11th Birthday Party

A Weeping Red Bud Tree for Our Yard
We found this cute dwarf, weeping Red Bud tree on Thursday, May 1. We had purchased a red bud several years ago, of a different brand that we were not pleased with, so when a storm damaged it last summer, we were not disappointed when it had to be taken down. We knew more about […]

Field Work Across from Our House
I often hear equipment in the fields before I see them. It was beautiful weather to harvest the winter wheat in our neighborhood during the last few days of April. This field was harvested in bulk into trucks. The four oldest Zuck children were here for a few days (while Grammy Diane was visiting from […]
Sauder Cousin’s Lunch
~~~ Wednesday Noon, April 30 ~~~ Our cousin Marian (right) was standing (talking to someone) when it was time for prayer, so she was appointed to be the one who prayed for us and our meals. There were 35 people – the largest group ever for one of these lunches. Three were from the next […]
Sunday Lunch in Our Garage
~~~ April 27 ~~~ We were set up by Saturday evening and ready for 12 guests, plus us. I don’t usually take photos during these meals because some people don’t like their photo on social media. This meal began when we wanted to invite someone who should not have salt, so I asked my sister […]
Supper at LongHorn Steakhouse with Our Children
~~~ Friday Evening, March 25 ~~~ This was to celebrate Cerwin’s birthday which happened earlier in the week. Friday evenings seem to work best for our children to meet. Cerwin’s restaurant choice is usually LongHorn Steakhouse. I was testing the lighting while our waitress was finishing up our orders. It looks like Roy is telling […]
