Rest in the Lord and be willing to wait for Him. Psalm 37:7 (NLV)
Sunday Afternoon, January 11 But first, I had to take a few outside pictures. I didn’t think to ask, but this looks like a chainsaw carving of raccoons. It is located next to their outside animal feeders. I was most interested in meeting Trixie – their newest rescue. She is not yet healthy, but, oh, […]
Sunday, January 11 We had a few things that belonged to Roy and Deb, so decided to meet them for lunch. Shortly after we arrived at RD’s, a friend of Roy & Deb’s came in and sat at the next table. Deb offered to hold their baby for a bit. She had been crying before Deb got […]
Sunday, January 11 It’s especially delightful to see a beautiful sunrise on a Sunday morning while enjoying a cup of coffee. We do our best to rest and be refreshed in our walk with the Lord on Sundays – and being a member of a church that encourages this is quite helpful. In Sunday school we focused on the […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 – […]
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, 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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
We Love You! Daddy & Mother
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 […]
