My 70th Birthday Marathon ~ Sunday With Our Family
Sunday, February 16 It is not over yet ~ the reason I called this a marathon. 🙂 A birthday rose from Hezekiah. He gave it to me when we got home from the restaurant on Saturday evening. Lydia and her friend Mary Ellen. There was a lot of noise and fun and busyness when Cerwin, Diane, […]
Blessed be the name of God forever and ever

My 70th Birthday Marathon – The Surprise!
Saturday, February 15 I told Cerwin that the only thing I wanted for my birthday was dinner with our children. He told me that it did not suit the children on my birthday, so it was planned for a week later. That was certainly fine with me. I did not know where we were going […]

My 70th Birthday Marathon ~ Breakfast With My Sister
Wednesday, February 12 Nancy wanted to find a special spot for my birthday breakfast this year ~ and she surely did. The Inn is old, delightful, and elegant. We were given a few choices of table locations – and because it was a cold morning, chose the fireplace. The hostess was preparing for a large group for […]

Saturday, February 8 My first gift of the day was the delivery of this beautiful bouquet of flowers from Clair (my brother) and Kate.

My 70th Birthday Marathon ~ Supper With Josh
It began on February 7 and lasted until February 18. Now that I am into the last day of this marathon, I feel a bit like it has been a biblical jubilee and as of today I am in need of a biblical fast. 🙂 I will begin that tomorrow. 🙂 My birthday celebration began at Jere and Kristen’s […]

Supper With Diana
Wednesday, February 5 It was a bit late (like half a year) but we finally got together on dates – just in time for her half birthday. 🙂 She chose T.J. Rockwell’s. Rhino Fries are a must when taking a grandchild to this restaurant. The menu description says: A Rockwell’s tradition! Put on your seatbelt for this giant […]

Designed By Ice
Pictures of the ice around our house on Wednesday, February 5. This is the beauty we woke up to the other week. Of course, it always gives concern for wires and branches. Everywhere I looked there was incredible beauty – designed by ice.

Strength and joy are where he is. 1 Chronicles 16:27 (GOD’S WORD Translation)
Great American Outdoor Show ~ Continued
Tuesday, February 4 More pictures from our walk through the building where all the outfitters were advertising their hunts. Taxidermy fascinates me. Maybe it’s because I get to look at these beautiful animals up close. Cerwin considered going hunting here this fall, and had talked to the guys on the phone, so he was looking forward to […]
Love extravagantly

Great American Outdoor Show
Tuesday, February 4 We left home about 9 a.m. to head for the show at Harrisburg. It was an especially beautiful drive – after about eight inches of snow the day before. This area was breath-taking. Cerwin was interested in finding the outfitters, but along the way we stopped to admire a wall of trophy racks. […]

Snow Birds
More pictures of the snow from Monday, February 3. By the time the snow stopped, we had about 8 inches on the ground. I felt bad for the birds, because every feeder was covered with snow. The suet was popular as it remained free of snow. Just before lunch, I decided to fill a large, […]

living within you as you trust in him. May your roots go down deep into the soil of God’s marvelous love. Ephesians 3:17 (Living Bible)
Snow
Monday ~ February 3 Our crepe myrtle bush shortly after 9 a.m. Notice how much heavier the snow is just over an hour later. It was so much fun to photograph this snow. It’s been a long time since we had a snow this heavy and pretty. Because everything was covered with snow, there were […]

And The Next Day It Snowed
Sunday, February 2 dawned beautiful, clear, and cold. It was one of those mornings when the sunrise seemed to fill the entire sky. No, I didn’t turn the camera upside down. Within half hour of sunrise the clouds began to overshadow the sun. After church we noticed a large flock of black birds in the […]

The First Day of February
It was a beautiful, calm day in southeastern Pennsylvania as we awaited snow (again) later in the week. I had trouble eliminating any of the sunrise pictures because of the glorious coloring. There must be salt on the pickup truck tires. This squirrel was there for several minutes licking the tire. We have juncos in abundance […]
