Happy Birthday To Our Favorite Josh
We Love You! Grandpa & Grandma High
Visiting Grandma
Sunday, February 1 Since Diane had a very short weekend in Pennsylvania, visiting Grandma had a dual purpose. It was the only time it suited our daughters to see each other, and it was a great time for each of them to visit Grandma. Having lunch in the Café is a nice quiet place to eat and visit […]
Diane
Saturday, January 31 Our oldest daughter, Diane, had an opportunity to come here (from Maine) for a short weekend – with two van loads of people going to a youth conference. Their grandson draws her here like a strong magnet. 🙂 Eight-month-old Anthony doesn’t have the “smile for the camera” routine down yet. Diane treasures her time […]
The Benefits Of Having A Man Cave
I don’t often feature our man cave – because I like to respect their privacy – but today is the right time to honor the guys and girls who come to our house. One day – last week – I looked outside and noticed Josh shoveling our driveway. He is in truck driving school and […]
Icicles & A Squirrel
Wednesday, January 28 – This would have been my mother’s 93rd birthday. I loved the glitter of the sun shining on these icicles. They looked like glass. I wasn’t quite as thrilled to find a squirrel in this birdfeeder, but took advantage of the photo opportunity. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Cardinals & Ice
Tuesday, January 27 Cardinals always look spectacular in the snow. The male seemed particularly brilliant. The temperatures were warm enough last Tuesday to create many icicles. The snow made everything look cold – even with a warm-looking sunset.
Snow – Again
Monday Afternoon and Evening, January 26 It was a gray, cloudy, snowy day – making the lighting poor for getting a picture of a dark gray bird. He even looked gloomy. By evening there were icicles and… …more snow. Cerwin keeps the snow shovel nearby this winter.
Going Home
Monday, January 26 Little lady covers her eyes as mom combs and sprays her hair. Their van is packed – full. It’s a snowy morning. We prayed with them – for their safety. It is also windy. Little man is wondering what is going on this early in the morning – this photo says that […]
It Was A “God Thing”
Saturday evening, January 24 It was just a week ago – when Reuben and Judi were still here with their two little ones. They wanted to take us out for supper as a thank you gift for allowing them to stay here while they waited for the legal paperwork to be able to take little man home. […]

Spiritual Refreshment Day ~ Part 1 of 4
It was a rather unsettling morning for the committee because it had snowed several inches overnight. However, it was a wet snow meaning when it was plowed, the roads stayed clear. The Wengers were busy plowing the parking lot when I arrived. I asked Cerwin to take me because I am not comfortable driving on […]
Another Sunrise & More Snow
Friday, January 23 & Saturday, January 24 This was Friday morning This was Saturday morning. The snow was beautiful, wet, and heavy. The birds had trouble finding birdseed. The mourning dove decided to pose for me instead of trying to find food.
Sunrise & More Snow
Wednesday, January 21 It was a cold, beautiful morning, but I wanted to go outside and get a photo of the pretty sunrise. On the way back I noticed the frosty grass and leaves beneath my feet. Thursday, January 22 – We woke up to another layer of snow. Reuben and his girlie shoveled the driveway. […]
Snow & Doves
It’s been a snowy week – beginning with Wednesday, January 21 The Dark-eyed Juncos were busy. As I looked for photo opportunities, I saw a dove that I had missed. Then I saw another. and another. I was surprised to see how many doves were perched in the branches. They were at first camouflaged to […]
