~~~ Wednesday Evening, July 12 5:00 pm Mount Joy, PA ~~~ Cerwin, Elvin, Pat, Mel and Velda One of the things retirement-life affords us is more time with family. On this particular evening it was with Cerwin’s Pennsylvania siblings: Velda and Elvin and their spouses. Our waitress noticed me taking a photo and offered to […]
~~~ Monday, July 10 to Friday July 14 ~~~ We were only able to attend one night due to other commitments and Hannah’s memorial services in Maine. These pictures are from Tuesday Evening July 11.

~~~ Friday Evening, July 7 ~~~ My post will now go back to when life was a bit more normal – before Hannah’s memorial services overtook our lives. We had planned this supper a week or two earlier. After Hannah’s death on the 4th, Deb asked if we wanted to keep this appointment. I replied, […]

These made a beautiful appearance in our memory garden the other week. They grabbed my attention the other day when I was looking out a window because of their brilliant burgundy and orange glow. I never cease to be amazed at the flowers in God’s garden creation.

~~~ Monday Evening July 3 8:18 pm ~~~ What do birds talk about when they are sitting on a wire? Or, do they just sit there silently enjoying the atmosphere waiting for the sun to set at the end of a day?
~~~ Sunday Afternoon, July 2 ~~~ We had a great afternoon looking at videos that Sam recently had transferred to DVDs. Afterward we had a light supper. Most of the videos were of our 1996 trip to Nova Scotia. I looked up a few photos that we have of the same trip. Me, Alice (now […]
