Rest in the Lord and be willing to wait for Him. Psalm 37:7 (NLV)
If you read my blog, you may remember their experience last summer – when they lived with us for several days with the anticipation of adopting a newborn baby boy. Then the mother decided to keep him. This picture of Kinza, Reuben, and Judi (our niece) was taken in early August when their hearts were […]

Wednesday, August 20 at Yogi Bear’s Jellystone Park With Aunt Deb When I told Deb that we were planning to entertain ourselves with day trips during this summer’s Cousin’s Week, she suggested Yogi Bear’s Jellystone Park not far from where she lives. We were pleased that it worked out for each of the six school-age grandchildren and […]
Sunday Afternoon, August 17 Jared and Cerwin stayed cool under umbrellas. A wet Jesse coming back toward us dragging his life jacket. Then he helped his dad drag their wet boat to the truck where all boats were loaded for disposal. There were a few final races. I think this one was the winners from the […]
Friday, August 15 We were just beginning to hear about the cardboard boat races that were coming up for a Sunday school class picnic and got to see the early stages of Ian and Jesse’s boat that Josh was building for them. Flowers on the table. One of the reasons we were invited for supper was that […]

Getting acquainted with Jere and Kristen’s dog, Jake. Kristen often has fresh flowers to decorate their table. A yummy salad. Lasagna was […]

Saturday Evening, May 31 Mason, Melanie, Jess, Deb, Roy, Cerwin, and Sterling. We enjoyed great conversation and food. I didn’t realize that Hunter was not in the picture, but you will see him later. Roy and Deb asked if we wanted to join them and Sterling and Mel’s family at RD’s on Saturday night. Since we had […]
No, not the kind in a tree. This one is a restaurant. This location was chosen by Roy and Deb ~ because they know we enjoy going to restaurants where we have never eaten. This was a Mother’s Day and Father’s Day gift to us. We all shared this amazing lump crab appetizer. This is why it […]
Saturday Evening, May 24 It has been several years since we went to my favorite Maine restaurant, because it is closed during the winter ~ and we always visit in January. Our second visit is for the bluegrass festival on Labor Day weekend ~ and we always have things to do and places to eat at the […]
Nate and Abby came for supper on Monday night so Diane could spend more time with Anthony and say goodbye to them before we headed to Maine. Diane giving Anthony a goodbye kiss. Cute feet Cute baby! We were up early Monday morning ~ and left just before sunrise ~ to head for Maine. At the […]
We had a family drop-in at our house on Sunday afternoon ~ May 18 ~ so our children and grandchildren could visit with Diane before we took her back to Maine ~ and to take family pictures. Anthony made five generations on Cerwin’s side of the family. Mother High is pleased to have her second great-great-grandchild. On […]
Wednesday, May 15 We were delighted that Deb invited us to join her, Diane, Abby, and Nate for the supper she provided at Nate and Abby’s house. Afterwards we took turns holding Anthony. Deb had her new baby along too ~ a groundhog. 🙂 He still needs milk. I think she said he is about […]
Wednesday, May 14 Abby, Anthony, and Diane We are enjoying having our daughter Diane here from Maine as she helps Abby and gets to enjoy her new grandson, Anthony. On Wednesday afternoon she and I enjoyed getting a few groceries, then Cerwin took us out for supper at Brickerville House. My sausage and cabbage soup was delicious. […]
We took these pictures with my cell phone on Saturday afternoon. I am so excited to announce that Cerwin and I just welcomed our first great-grandchild ~ Anthony Joel. He was born late Saturday morning, May 10… …weighed 7 pounds 7 ounces and was 20 1/2 inches long. His mama is our granddaughter Abigail. He is so […]

Dutch Apple Dinner Theatre ~ Friday Evening, April 25 Dinner and the play “Seven Brides For Seven Brothers” was our gift to any of our children and grandchildren who wanted to go along to celebrate their 2014 birthday. It was also our family celebration for Cerwin’s birthday. Jesse and Jared entertained themselves with the overhead mirrors while we […]
He thinks their excuses are of biblical proportions! Jeff: Yeah, right. (laughter) I have enough of my own work to do. Diane: Too bad we don’t live closer! Jere: Oh man … I have this thing…it just isn’t going to work out…real bummer… wish I could be there. Deb: If he would have asked before today […]
Saturday Evening, April 19 As we ate our meal, Roy said, “I think I just found a new favorite restaurant.” I ordered Quinoa Salad – mostly because I never heard of quinoa and wanted to see what it was. I learned it was the grain on top of the salad. From the Internet: Quinoa, pronounced “keen-wah,” a protein-packed […]
This was a special celebration ~ a gift from Roy and Deb for Cerwin’s birthday. Saturday, Evening, April 19. I have been looking forward to going back to this restaurant ever since my sister took me here for a birthday breakfast in February. My 70th Birthday Marathon ~ Breakfast With My Sister When Deb and Roy read […]
After supper preparations were complete, we went outside for some photos. First ~ the two pianists ~ Jana and Jared Jared with his parents. This photo is by Deb, because the expressions on their faces is better than on my photo. Jana with her parents Jana and her mom – another photo by Deb. I didn’t take one of […]
In my entry yesterday, I wanted to focus on the recital and each student, so didn’t post these. Jared before the recital. He wanted a suit – would have really liked “tails” – because that is how Tom and Jerry dress for recitals. 🙂 Yes, the cartoon characters. Jere took him to Salvation Army where they found […]
Saturday Evening, February 22 We met Roy and Deb here so we could spend an evening with them and his sister, Mary, who was visiting from Florida. We had a great time visiting and eating. I only photographed the desserts. Deb and I got crème brulee (as usual). Cerwin’s apple pie. If I remember correctly, […]
Tuesday, February 18 When Diane and her girls decided to go shopping on Tuesday, I wasn’t sure that I would go along. I am not a fan of shopping. But, then I thought to myself, “Self you can stay home tomorrow when they drive back to Maine and the house is empty. This is a day you […]
I think it was at the baby shower/birthday party the day before that we learned my niece Karen was baking donuts on Monday, February 17. She told us to stop in for some on the way home from our tea. (I expect her mom and sisters were also involved in the baking. They usually are.) […]
This is who I saw when I arrived at A Tea Affair on Monday, February 17 – our daughters, daughters-in-law, granddaughters and Mary Ellen a friend from Maine. Well, it was not exactly like that, as the above one was a posed one after we all settled in. It looked more like this – with […]
My last clue on Sunday night said: Final Clue: A Tea Affair – 12 noon on Monday, February 17, 2014. Come and see who else may be there with you… We arrived just before noon. The room is beautifully decorated. The flowers made us feel like springtime – which was wonderful on this cold wintry […]
I never had – and will probably never have another birthday like this one! By Sunday evening, February 16, I had sixty cards and e-cards, plus about twice that many wishes on my blog and Facebook. Thank You! I feel honored and blessed by your love. After everyone left the drop-in party I began finding envelopes in interesting places around the […]
Sunday, February 16 When lunch was over, I mentioned that I would like a few photos (because I knew there was going to be a baby shower for Nate and Abby and there would probably not be another opportunity.) Someone suggested that we start by kissing! 🙂 Our children (Diane, Jere, Deb, and Jeff) have […]
