Traveling Home From Maine
Thursday, January 8 I never like goodbyes, nor do I like the end of vacations, but I have learned that it is just a part of life. We said goodbye to Diane and Lydia (the only two in the house) about 6:50 AM so we would be at Wayne and Betty’s by 7:00 AM. Our […]
Lydia, Snow, Games & Pizza
Maine ~ Wednesday, January 7 The beginning of breakfast – by Lydia It’s fun (and delicious) having a granddaughter who is in college to study culinary skills. The delicious finished product – caramel and blueberry cream cheese pastry. There were also smoothies. It was a cold, snowy day – especially during the afternoon. Because the weather […]
Heze, Hannah, and Elizabeth
Tuesday, January 6 Hezekiah showing off the afghan he got from Great-grandma High’s things. Elizabeth chose it for him because of the colors. He loves John Deere. He was pleased to know that Grandma crocheted it. He is on winter break from college in Presque Isle in northern Maine. I needed a current picture of him – […]
Breakfast With Michelle In Bath, Maine
Tuesday, January 6 Southgate is a comfortable little restaurant across the street from the shipyard. Michelle and Diane met many years ago and quickly became friends. Because of their friendship, Michelle and I became friends because of our mutual love of photography. It was so good to spend time with her – during a delicious breakfast […]
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

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 […]
