TFC “Old Timers” Lunch and Birds at Our Feeders
~~~ Wednesday, January 17 ~~~ Bunny, Peg, Cerwin, Sam, Jeff, Kathy and Inge. It had been three months since we saw most of these TFC friends. We were delighted to see Jeff Martin and catch up on his life. His wife Ruth passed away suddenly last year. She was often part of our quarterly lunches. […]
What a Fun Day
It was a cold day, but we (Diane, Lydia and I) were determined to get in some shopping before a day of snow. Cerwin wasn’t quite as determined as the ladies, but he was a willing driver for Diane and me. Lydia came from southern Lancaster County. First, we went to Blessings of Hope (each […]

Spreading Manure in the Morning Sunshine
It’s not often that I am captured by sunlight on manure being spread on the field below our house. I took these pictures at 9:51 am on Friday, January 5 before the ground was snow-covered.
Overnight Guests
It was an honor to have our daughter Diane and her friends Jill and Greg as overnight guests on Friday night, January 12. They drove through the night – from Maine – to be here for Harold Martin’s funeral on the 13th. They arrived about 1 am in the morning. Cerwin and I did not […]

Hunting Friends Breakfast

They need at least ten people to reserve this room. Glenn, Ronnie, Marv (Tex), George, Cerwin, Clyde, Gene and […]

Upgrading Doorknobs After 56 1/2 Years
Cerwin decided it was time to remove our old, indoor doorknobs and replace them with new ones. It was a more difficult job than he expected. The old ones were hard to remove. Attaching the new ones was much easier. These doorknobs have been here since 1967 when we built the house. The new ones […]
The Highlight of Our Backroad Drive and Something to Ponder
After checking out the eagle nest, we headed home – the long way. As we made a left turn, I said, “Stop. I think I saw a pheasant.” What a delight to see him up close. The ring-neck male is so pretty. He watched me for a while, trying to be invisible, but I think […]
Local Eagle Residence and Something to Ponder
One of the things we wanted to do on the way home from our backroads lunch was check on our local eagle nest. It is also on a backroad, and we were pleased to find one of them at home. As the eagle flies, this nest is about three miles from our house. I don’t […]
