gentle and quiet attitude which God considers precious.1 Peter 3:4 (GOD’S WORD Translation)
New Siding & Lily Pads
How is that for title combinations? That is because I wanted to finish the last set of pictures before I post Truck Rally pictures. After installing a ductless heating and cooling system a few weeks ago, and removing wall air conditioners, we either had to change our siding, or have strange-looking spots on the exterior walls. So […]

A Delightful Saturday Afternoon
On Saturday, June 15, our Pennsylvania family visited with our Amish friends. I enjoy traveling across the Susquehanna River at this spot – with a view of Harrisburg across several bridges. An abandoned house along a country road on our way to Perry County – about an-hour-and-a-half drive for us. I took only a few pictures, because Amish do not like photos […]

After watching a few people, I decided that I should photograph others instead of spending much time making a Play Dough Baby – because my sculpting skills are very limited. Enjoy. I like the simplicity of this one. She did this […]

controlled by God’s will and not by human desires. 1 Peter 4:2 (Good News Translation)
Various – Diverse – Manifold – Different

I never heard of a taggy blanket, […]
