Rest in the Lord and be willing to wait for Him. Psalm 37:7 (NLV)
~~~ Friday, February 10 ~~~ Pedicures at LV Nails, Kissel Hill. I called our daughters to see if they were into getting luxurious pedicures. I could do that this year since Diane is here from Maine. Diane was driving here from Maine when I checked with her. She asked me to check with Abby (center) […]
~~~ Thursday, February 9 ~~~ Cerwin asked if there is anything I wanted to do for the 5th day of my birthday week. I replied that I would like to go to Boscov’s for shoes. I recently noticed that two pair of my winter shoes were coming apart. (I don’t have that many shoes so […]
~~~ Wednesday, February 8 ~~~ It was a special delight to spend the evening with our children at Iron Hill Restaurant, Lancaster, celebrating my actual birth date. Jere, Kristen, Diane, Jeff, Deb, Roy, his mom Barb and Cerwin. Same group – another angle. From the other end of the table. Deb took some cell phone […]
~~~ Wednesday, February 8 ~~~ My actual birthday began with breakfast at Hearth and Harrow which is the closest restaurant to us – about 3 miles. This breakfast/brunch was initiated by my oldest brother, Dale, who is several years younger than I and his wife, Dot. We had a delightful time, enjoying breakfast and conversation. […]
~~~ Tuesday, February 7 ~~~ This was the day Cerwin brought me a Subway roast beef sub for lunch. We shared a 12″. Oh, yum. He also came home with a pretty bouquet of flowers. He knows that I like flowers in wintertime. I am anxious to see the lily buds open. I am seeing […]
~~~ Sunday, February 5 ~~~ My birthday week celebration started on Sunday when we were invited to a meal in our church fellowship hall. The meal was initiated by one of our deacons (Ryan) and his wife Jess who take their service to the church very seriously. At the end of each year our deacons […]
~~~ Saturday, February 4 ~~~ I heard the sound of equipment in the field below us about 6:30 am and knew it was a perfect day for spreading manure on the fields because the ground was frozen. By 7:54 the sun was up, and I could see the truck and the manure. You might think […]
~~~ Friday, February 3 ~~~ When we drove by the pond at 9:30 am, Mountainside Excavators, Inc. was putting stones around the pond. By the time we came home in the midafternoon, he was finished. I didn’t take these pictures until two days later when the pond was frozen. The area that is not stoned, […]
~~~ Friday, February 3 ~~~ Remember that I mentioned in yesterday’s post that we went to Cablela’s after having lunch at Cracker Barrel? Inge had never been here, so I took her on a quick walkthrough of the displays. Cerwin and Sam stayed in the entrance area. We said we’d be back in 15-20 minutes. […]
~~~ Friday, February 3 11:00 am ~~~ Our delightful lunch began when Pearl Nussbaum told us they would be visiting their son’s family in Allentown, PA, and could we meet on February 3 somewhere about halfway between us and Allentown. Cracker Barrel at Hamburg served that purpose quite well. Gary and Pearl are long-time TFC […]
The other day I was watching a Carolina Wren and thought it resembled a chipmunk. 🙂 So, I pulled up one of my chipmunk pictures to compare them. Well, maybe not so much! But they do have similar stripes above their eyes.
~~~ Thursday, February 2 ~~~ The sunrise wasn’t as pretty as some days, but each day comes with its own beauty. By evening we were honored with a visit by Jordan – our second oldest grandson. He brought some pretty antler sheds that he found in one of the areas where he hunts. He knew […]
We love you! Grandpa and Grandma High
~~~ Sunday, January 29 7:03 am ~~~ Then it gradually changed to red/orange
~~~ Wednesday, February 1 2:30 pm ~~~ We always have a good day when we go out with my sister and her husband. It was our turn to choose a destination and restaurant. This time we chose a private location where we knew we could see a few young deer before they are released into […]
~~~ Sunday, January 29 4:00 pm ~~~ Hairy Woodpeckers are not a rare visitor – we see them on occasion – while we see Downys almost every day. The Hairy is almost identical to the Downy except it is larger and has a longer beak. When you see one, you know it is not a […]
