Rest in the Lord and be willing to wait for Him. Psalm 37:7 (NLV)
~~~ Wednesday, December 18 ~~~ Zach, Gloria and Aleah came to our house for their 2024 birthday supper from Two Cousin’s Restaurant. First, I needed an updated picture of them for our refrigerator. I decided to see what it would look like with the background removed. I think I like this one even better because […]
~~~ Sunday, December 15 ~~~ While we waited for a few people to arrive, I realized that these five great grandchildren were in the same area of the garage, so quickly assembled a group picture. Our 2024 great grandchildren – left to right: Aleah (Feb 14) held by her dad Zach; Lainey (Mar 15) held […]
~~~ Saturday, December 14 ~~~ These three got in late Friday night after flying in from California. They are staying in Nate and Abby’s motorhome – inside their warm shop – about two miles from us. They stopped in for breakfast before heading to New York City to see Christmas lights and other places that […]
~~~ Friday Evening, December 13 ~~~ Following the Myers’ Christmas meal, they spent the rest of the evening playing a variety of games. In this photo Natalie is helping Stetson place animals in their correct location on the farm sheet. Diane had a variety of table games for her family. In this game, each person […]
~~~ Friday, December 13 ~~~ Breakfast with Diane, Mark, Stetson, Kayla and Hezekiah. I am thankful for our large garage on a weekend like this. Mark and Diane thoroughly enjoyed having quality time with their grandson Stetson. Stetson and Henley’s dad, our grandson Hezekiah. Stetson hadn’t seen us since he was a baby, so wasn’t […]
~~~ Thursday, December 12 ~~~ What fun to hold our Tennessee great granddaughter, Henley, shortly after her parents (Hezekiah and Kayla, and brother Stetson) arrived at our house. They came to be here for our family’s Christmas celebration and stayed in our basement bedroom. Diane’s husband, Mark, arrived the day before – flying from Portland, […]

~~~ Wednesday, December 11 ~~~ Bryce and Linnea were the ones who chose to deliver our fruit basket this year. As you can see by their dress, it was a cold rainy evening. Bryce (with the help of his mom) said, “Thank you for being faithful members of White Oak Church.” The delicious ingredients. Thank […]
~~~ Monday Evening, December 9 ~~~ We took Diane and the four oldest Zuck children on a Christmas light tour earlier this week – using the Zuck’s van so we had car seats and space for everyone. Our first set of big lights was overhead when driving through Manheim’s square. Our main purpose for the […]

~~~ Saturday, December 7 ~~~ The plate of cookies that was delivered to us by my sister. I look forward to these yummy cookies every year. Nancy is the matriarch of this crew. In the above photo she is sending me the next photo – with permission to post it. The middle person (green) is […]
~~~ Friday, December 6 ~~~ Looking at nail colors with a sunny background. Abby treated Diane and me to deluxe pedicures and manicures as a gift for caring for their four children before and after the birth of Garth (who is in a car seat just behind her). Diane and I chose no color, and […]
~~~ Wednesday, December 4 ~~~ Anthony, Diane and Cerwin Diane hears about our time at Blessings of Hope, and asked if we could volunteer on a day when she is here. She is now listed as an official volunteer – from Maine. 🙂 Now all she had to do is have her card scanned when […]
I can’t tell if this is a male or female. The male has a darker head than the female. There is not another to compare it to. The male has a glossy crown and grey/black back, the female has a dull black crown and gray back. ~~~ Something to Ponder ~~~
This was on the table near our church mailbox on Sunday, November 30. My name was on it, but there was no signature. It is obvious that she wants to remain secret – but purposeful in blessing me. I am trying to keep it cool and watered so it will last until our family Christmas […]
