Wednesday, January 4 Lydia and Hannah came over to enjoy the morning with us. Elizabeth stopped by on the way to work – to say goodbye because we were leaving Thursday morning. Someone thought I should take a foot shot since we were all in pretty socks – except Hannah. 🙂 Clockwise from me in the […]
Tuesday, January 3 I took pictures of these seed pods on a bush near Mark and Diane’s driveway while waiting for everyone to get to the car to begin our morning shopping trip. I have no idea what kind of bush it is, but thought these seed pods are rather pretty. Hannah was looking for sneakers – […]

Monday Morning, January 2 This shot of the moon was leftover in my camera from the night before when the moon and Venus were bright in the Maine sky. Morning in the Myers’ backyard. This trip to Cabela’s in Scarborough was for Heze’s 2016 birthday. Diane asked if she could be his date. 🙂 This […]

Friday, December 30 Jere had some gift cards and asked us to go along to Cabela’s. He especially wanted his dad’s advice on a gun. Ian, Jared, Jesse, and Cerwin. Josh and Jere were behind me. If you are familiar with the Cabela’s in Hamburg, PA, you know where this moose is located. The end […]

Wednesday, December 28 This was the scene as we turned into Roy and Deb’s road – to go out with them for supper. Just before turning into their driveway. This was for Roy’s 2016 birthday – which was in July. 🙂 He had actually chosen something else that didn’t materialize, so he decided to wait […]
The next day it was the squirrels. I was glad there bellies were full for the snowy, icy, rainy day we had yesterday.
Sunday, December 25 It’s nice that Jere and Kristen like cooking and entertaining – and make sure each family member has a place for lunch on Christmas Day. Jana made Grinch Punch.

On Friday morning, December 23 – the eve of Christmas Eve – I was feeling a need to go somewhere since we were having a quiet Christmas week. We had our family’s Christmas celebration on December 4 because some of our family – especially grandchildren – had many other family celebrations. Having the meal early meant that each of our Pennsylvania […]

Oh, what fun to be with their family. The next day (Monday) we enjoyed lunch with the staff at […]
