80th Birthday Party for Our Friend Glen
Saturday evening, February 20 Cerwin and some of Glen’s TFC friends. We loved how his children had decorated the tables with some of Glen’s model truck collection. We chose to sit at this table. 🙂 Glen drove for Yellow Freight – today it is known as YRC. Most of the attendees were their children – […]
American Music Theatre
Saturday, February 20 During the previous, cold, windy weekend, Cerwin and I decided that we needed a mini, local vacation. (This was the weekend before Mother High’s death, so we didn’t want to go very far.) After the prayer breakfast, we visited Mother, then went to hear Mark Lowery. Most of you know him as a […]

Travel Pictures from the Blustery Day in Mid-February
Saturday, February 13 On our way to go out for supper, we came upon this back-country road where the snow was blowing – making traffic rather slow and at times hazardous. Before long the two-lane road became one lane. When we met traffic coming the other way, several of us pulled in the driveway of an Amish […]
A Wintry, Blustery Day in the Neighborhood
Saturday, February 13 This neighbor man and his dog seemed to enjoy the wind and snow. The wind was blowing the birdseed away so I put a block of suet in the frozen birdbath. This pretty blue jay seemed to appreciate it. Yes, it truly felt like winter in the middle of February.
Photo Memories from Friday, February 12

An Amish man in the area “fertilizing” the field. Valentine roses from Cerwin Stromboli – my valentine gift to Cerwin My photo memories from the middle of […]
An Icicle and Red-bellied Woodpecker
I took these pictures on Thursday, February 11 Both the ice and bird looked pretty in the mid-day sunshine. She was enjoying the suet I have hanging on the dogwood tree. I know it is a she, because part of her head is gray. The males have red heads.
Locals Will Remember This Day ~ Tuesday, February 9
It was a beautiful snow day. Words are not necessary. Enjoy. The snow is gone, but it is good to be reminded of the beauty.
Thanks to the Staff at Landis Homes

Cerwin and his sister, Velda, with Mother’s cartfull of personal items. Elvin removed a few things the day before – the clock and TV belong to his family. ~~~ There are not enough words in the […]
