Rest in the Lord and be willing to wait for Him. Psalm 37:7 (NLV)
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 […]
We go by this old – being restored – log cabin house every now and then and crossed this road when on our backroad drive. I wonder about the dreams and plans of the owners. ~~~ Something to Ponder ~~~

~~~ Monday, December 25th ~~~ Kristen always creates interesting table and place settings. We didn’t know what the numbers meant but learned about that later. Each person had two pieces of wrapped chocolate in their box. Kristen’s mom always had a bouquet of flowers delivered to Kristen for the Christmas meal. After she died, Jere […]

They did a great job. I think Dot did the basic design […]
