TFC Truck Rally & Lancaster Banquet Meetings
Sunday, January 10 It has been a tradition for many years that we combine our Truck Rally and Lancaster Banquet meetings in one afternoon – because some members are on both committees. Just before the Truck Rally meeting started, someone noticed the rainbow. It wasn’t at a great location for us, as it was behind […]
A Friend’s Memorial Service
Saturday, January 9 We were pleased that Saturday, January 9, was an open day in our schedule so we could attend the Celebration of Life service for our friend Tish Jones at Davisville Church, Southampton, PA (near Philadelphia). I took two pictures of slides that were scrolling on the screen. Tish is on the right. […]
Favorite Pictures from Today’s Snow Blizzard
Saturday, January 23 I took lots of pictures, and will eventually post them, but I thought you may enjoy seeing these A Mourning Dove on the ledge outside our dining area window. A snow drift hanging over our house roof. Our grandson Jesse trying to walk in two feet of snow. It is still snowing […]
A Good Day to Be Feeding Birds
The European Starlings – and many other birds – seem to appreciate that I am keeping black oil sunflower seeds on top of the snow today. I put a tray of seeds on top of a bush just outside a kitchen window – and keep refilling it.
Driving Home From Maine
Thursday, January 7 This is what the sky looked like when we left the Myers’ house at 6:20 AM. I love driving while the sun in rising. About an hour and twenty minutes after leaving the Myers’ we were crossing the bridge from Maine to New Hampshire. Early morning industry Watching construction on Tappan Zee […]
Day 3 In Maine – Evening
Wednesday, January 6 I love how the late afternoon sun hits the windows of their new house. Sunshine and shadows on their deck and yard Since it was a clear afternoon, Diane asked if I wanted to go up the hill behind them – to the church parking lot – to see if we could see the […]
Day 3 in Maine – Lunch at Frontier Café
Wednesday Noon, January 6 Our second stop was Fort Andross (I took this picture from the car window.) Fort Andross was established in 1688 as a trading post for fur trappers and as a garrison built during King William’s war and went through many transitions (fort, cotton mill, and a textile and manufacturing mill. Today it […]
Day 3 in Maine – Pampering Our Nails
Wednesday, January 6 The ladies look forward to this place each January when it is frigid outside in Maine. Treating our feet in very warm, swirling water and our backs to massaging chairs. Oil and hot stones treat our feet to more pampering My feet in paraffin and warm towels. Great for winter feet. Ahhhhhhhh! Diane and […]
Day 2 in Maine
Tuesday, January 5 It was a cold morning. Since this is the first winter in their newly purchased house, they learned that this area needs heat tape. It only affected the shower, but they will add more insulation when it is warmer, and they can explore the area where this pipe is too close to the […]
Day 1 in Maine – Christmas
Monday Evening, January 4 After supper at Sea Dog, we went to Hannah and Lydia’s place to exchange a few gifts. The gifts in the box were for Now-You-Have-It-Now-You-Don’t. I forgot to take pictures of that game. I think we brought some of these gifts from Pennsylvania – given by Nate, Abby (their Pennsylvania daughter & sister), and Anthony. Two chocolate […]
Day 1 in Maine – Supper at Sea Dog
Monday, January 4 Mark and Diane checking the menu. After work, we took everyone to the Sea Dog for supper. The girls – Hannah, Elizabeth, and Lydia – were going to be a bit late because Hannah and Lydia had some issues in the dairy barn where they work, so we ordered two appetizers: Soft […]
Mother High
We were surprised when a nurse came to Mother’s room – about 2 PM – yesterday afternoon and told us that she was being discharged! They concluded that the gallstone moved and the infection to her liver and kidneys was now clear. She got to Landis Homes about 5:30 PM. Thank you for praying. At 98+, […]
Update on Mother High
The hospital staff withheld her breakfast just in case they had to do the scope procedure. However, her blood work and counts are looking good, so they brought her food. 🙂 Cerwin and I will be spending the afternoon with her, so I will update you later today or tonight when we have new information. […]
Our First Day in Maine
Monday, January 4 It was a cold day in Maine, so I enjoyed the outside view from inside. This is the view of their deck from their living room. They recently bought a house, so it was fun seeing new landscape and enjoying their warm, cozy house. I love how the sun shines in their […]
Update on Mother High
At this point the scope procedure is off for today, because she is feeling well and her stomach is no longer tender. The doctor thinks the stone moved. I told Mother, ‘It wouldn’t be the first time God moved a stone.’ She liked that. Her medical team wants to evaluate her for another day or […]
Driving to Maine
Sunday, January 3 Our annual New Year’s trip to Maine – to visit with Mark and Diane’s family – was delightfully uneventful, consequently I read and didn’t take many pictures. This was the 7:00 AM sunrise – about two hours into our trip. We were fascinated by construction on the new Tappan Zee Bridge – over […]
Update on Cerwin’s Mother:
We (Cerwin’s siblings) have peace about giving the doctor permission to do an ECRP, a technique that combines the use of endoscopy and fluoroscopy to diagnose and treat certain problems of the biliary or pancreatic ductal systems. Because she takes a blood thinner, the procedure cannot be done today. Though there are risks with this […]
