Rest in the Lord and be willing to wait for Him. Psalm 37:7 (NLV)
Wednesday, February 5 It was a bit late (like half a year) but we finally got together on dates – just in time for her half birthday. 🙂 She chose T.J. Rockwell’s. Rhino Fries are a must when taking a grandchild to this restaurant. The menu description says: A Rockwell’s tradition! Put on your seatbelt for this giant […]
Wednesday, January 29 Our day started by taking a large TFC mailing to the Lititz Post Office. I was delighted to see the mules (Amish farm) as we traveled from the post office to where Cerwin’s mother lives. I haven’t seen them since last fall. Arriving at the retirement community. My view of a sitting area […]
My siblings and I take care of the core part of the meal – set up, drink, meat, and paper supplies while the next two generations bring finger foods and things they like to have at this get-together. Mocha punch is popular here. The meat included pulled pork and beef brisket. Homemade rolls by Amy. I like […]
Thursday, December 12 was a busy day in the office as I had many things to do. I only had two days in my office this week – we got home from Hudson, Wisconsin, on Tuesday evening and were heading to Burlington, Ontario, on Friday morning for a memorial service for our TFC friend Audrey Scott. Imagine our delight when […]
I was pleased when Chris chose El Serrano’s for her birthday, because we had never been there – and I love trying new restaurants. Tuesday Evening, October 29 The above photo and next paragraph are from the internet – just to give you an idea of where we ate: It’s authentic Latino American cuisine, and […]
How would you like to come home to this? This is what our kitchen counter looked like when we got home from the TFC Dinner Concert at Manor Church on Saturday night, October 26. I immediately knew that our granddaughter Abby had been here. The home canned grape juice concentrate was our anniversary gift from […]
This is continued from last night – my favorite purchase at the bake sale benefit. These make perfect gifts. This was made by our friend Marge – who also gave me her recipe. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Grease inside of eight WIDE MOUTH pint canning jars. Ingredients: 2/3 cup shortening 2-2/3 cup sugar 2 cups […]
We were up really early on Saturday morning, October 12 – like 3:30 a.m. – so we could leave the house by 4:30, be at the TFC office by 5:00, and leave with International Chapel #2 shortly thereafter. It was still dark when we arrived at Menges Diner at 6:00 a.m. – where the prayer breakfast and bake sale […]
Flame Seared Steak du jour Fresh Salad Greens Vegetable du jour Dessert – Chef’s choice Date & Time to be Determined by Buyer (April thru September 2013) This is what our daughter bid on at a benefit auction last fall – and chose us to be the other two people who would enjoy this meal. […]
West Hall is a popular stopping place for those who attend the Disaster Relief Auction. There are lots of homemade goodies. Cerwin asked me to bring a pie home – and there were many choices. I bought a raisin crumb pie. It was delicious. This young man has displayed his hot pads in West Hall […]
This is just a sampling of the food that was available at the BDRA last weekend. Some food items were available throughout both days, while other meals were at set times. I received permission to go inside the sausage sandwich stand. It looked and smelled delicious. As I approached the French fry stand, I noticed my […]
There were multiple reasons why we and Jere and Kristen’s family met Roy and Deb at RD’s for lunch after church on Sunday. 1. It is a new restaurant in Roy and Deb’s area. 2. I had some things that needed to be returned to Deb (they live about an hour away from us). 3. Deb twisted her knee […]
Roy and Deb were our chauffeurs to The Loft in downtown Lancaster. (Jere and Kristen took us home.) After finding a parking spot, we walked toward the restaurant and were surprised by the clip clop of horses behind us and turned around to see two city policemen. Waiting to go upstairs to the second floor dining area. […]
We had reservations at Lily’s for supper on Friday – with Roy and Deb – for his birthday which was July 7 – but when they came to Joanne’s funeral (10:30 a.m.), we changed the reservations to lunch. It didn’t seem wise for them to go home (one hour) and come back (another hour) for supper, and lunch worked for both […]
We were invited to Jeff and Chris’ house on Father’s Day evening for Nathan’s 20th Birthday party. I have enjoyed watching Nathan grow into a godly young man. Almost from the time he was small, I knew he would like fast, noisy cars. 🙂 We – his parents, other grandma, and us – discussed some of our […]
Jere and Kristen stopped in on Monday evening (June 17) to deliver a very special Father’s Day Gift These are crock pot meals that Mark and Diane purchased for Cerwin for Fathers Day. They were made by Darvin and Angie Stoner as a fundraiser for their adoption process. Thank you Mark and Diane! We enjoyed one […]
Cerwin’s Father’s Day included cards, hugs, phone calls, and brunch with Roy and Deb. We met Roy and Deb immediately after church – 11:30 a.m. – and arrived at The Franklin House Restaurant just before noon. Roy loves to find old and unusual restaurants – and was pleased that we had never been here. We were delighted that […]
Saturday Evening, June 8 We were pleased when Jere and Kristen invited us to go Sight & Sound to see Noah. We had seen the old version – about twenty years ago – but had not yet seen the 2013 showing. Jere’s family With us We had never been so close to the stage. Our seat was in […]
Deb brought some fresh cinnamon buns the other morning when bringing us magnets she designed for the Truck Rally driver’s packets. It was a beautiful morning, so we enjoyed coffee on the deck. What a delightful way to spend half-an-hour.
