Monday ~ A Day Of Pampering & Relaxation
Monday, January 5 Oh, I needed a day like this! The view from my massaging chair in Elizabeth Nails. Diane, Lydia, Mary Ellen (Lydia’s friend), and Hannah A manicurist offered to take a picture that included me. Needless to say, we enjoyed the pampering on this cold winter day. Hot rocks! Yes. Feet packed in paraffin felt wonderful on a […]
Hannah’s House
Sunday, January 4 Because church services were cancelled, we had a relaxing morning – enjoying coffee, pastry… …and an egg, spinach, and sausage casserole. Our plans were to go to see Hannah’s apartment in the afternoon. I went outside a bit early to get a few more snow pictures. We traveled over some pretty, snow-covered roads […]
Snow In Maine
We awoke to a snowy landscape outside our windows on Sunday morning. Mark had to shovel his way to the car so he could go to work. Church was cancelled in the morning because of the snow and ice. Consequently we could stay inside and look at the beauty from a warm place. I love […]
New Year’s Day & Traveling To Maine
We enjoy watching Reuben and Judi’s little guy respond to us as he begins to feel better. Kinza loves when we play with or read to her. She also loves her little brother. Our daughter Deb brought us lunch on New Year’s Day and set up a few pictures for Reuben and Judi’s family. I took advantage of […]
Light Squiggles
Sometimes I like to take pictures of lights at night – while we are driving – to produce interesting squiggles. I think I like squiggles because life never follows a straight line. It’s more like a squiggle. In a variety of colors God never changes like the shadows from those lights. He is always the same. James 1:17 […]
Hershey Family Christmas
Monday, December 29 We enjoyed having Kinza here on Monday while Reuben and Judi were at the hospital with their little boy. Elizabeth was a big help in playing games with her. Anthony and Ian We also took Ian, Jared, and Jesse along to the Hershey Christmas Supper while Jere & Kristen were at a doctor […]
Happy Birthday To Our Favorite Diane
We Love You! Daddy & Mother
The High Family Christmas Celebration
This is the first year ever that neither of Cerwin’s parents were at the celebration. It was difficult for us – knowing that Mother could not be here. I expect it was difficult for her as well. Because there were several out-of-state nieces and nephews in the area, we chose a date to suit them. There was […]
I Get To Be A Surrogate Grandma For Awhile
If you read my blog, you may remember their experience last summer – when they lived with us for several days with the anticipation of adopting a newborn baby boy. Then the mother decided to keep him. This picture of Kinza, Reuben, and Judi (our niece) was taken in early August when their hearts were […]
Our Family Christmas Celebration
Saturday Evening, December 27 Our evening began with supper – provided by our wonderful ladies – Chris, Kristen, Deb, and Abby. They haven’t allowed me to make any food for the past few years – and I really appreciate that. We provide the place, the tables, place settings, and drink (orange punch and raspberry iced […]
Amish Country On A Sunday Afternoon
This is what happens when you travel through Amish Country on a Sunday.
The Day After Christmas
We spend our day preparing for our family Christmas celebration which is tomorrow evening. We set up tables in the garage, did a bit of cleaning and shopping. But, before all the work, we went across the woodlot to my sister-in-law’s place to see her children and grandchildren. Anne is on the left, and next to […]
Our Christmas Day
A few weeks ago Cerwin and I thought we were going to have a quiet Christmas Day – just the two of us. Then Deb learned that we were going to be alone for the day – as were they – so they decided to bring cinnamon rolls for an 8:30 breakfast. Then Elizabeth called to […]
