Rest in the Lord and be willing to wait for Him. Psalm 37:7 (NLV)
I love to see the moon on a dark clear night. The moon phase calendar tells me it was a “waxing crescent” moon on April 1. 4% of it was visible and it was 2 days after new moon. Though the moon is ever-changing to our eyes with its waxing and waning, it is still the […]
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 […]
By Students of Rachel Siegrist ~ Sunday Afternoon, April 6, 2014 We enjoyed a delightful recital in the chapel at Pleasant View Retirement Community. I wanted to include each student in one entry, so used more photos than I usually do. Prelude by Renee – granddaughter of Rachel. Rachel – a friend of ours – is the student’s […]
Sunday, March 30 After lunch ~ while Jere and Kristen were putting food and dishes away ~ Jared played a few songs and asked Grandpa to sing with him. In this photo they are singing “Do Lord.” http://b.scorecardresearch.com/p?c1=8&c2=6036211&c3=11003&c4=35171&c5=&c6=&c15=&cv=2.0&cj=1′ /&I’ve got a home in glory land that out-shines the sun.

We were delighted to be invited to Jana’s 15th birthday lunch after church on Sunday, March 30. I took a new picture for my refrigerator, but haven’t decided which one I like best. In the living room, Josh was trying to help his brothers fix an electronic problem. Deb is pleased with a new blanket […]
We Love You! Grandpa & Grandma
Friday, February 28 Harrisburg Farm Show Complex and Expo Center with Gloria and Ashley. This section of the show was entitled “Language of Dance” and was inspired by the creative expression of the relationship between horse and rider. It was performed by Julio Mendoza and his Friesian Stallion Maurus Sport. “Land of Fire and Ice” […]
Friday, February 28 Harrisburg Farm Show Complex and Expo Center The little guy in red looked like he may have only been 8-10 years old. He was a great horseman. We think the others in the arena at the same time – with the same breed of horses were his family. These pictures were also […]
Friday, February 28 Harrisburg Farm Show Complex and Expo Center This came about because Gloria had not come to a decision as to what she wanted to do for her birthday – which was in December. When I saw this event advertised, I immediately thought of her – and she loved the idea of going. […]
Wednesday Evening, February 26 This was a make up birthday present to Nathaniel for the end of last year when we were on the road a lot. We don’t get to visit with just them very often, so going out together for a meal is delightful. I enjoy hearing about their life and plans and […]
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 […]
After letting Nate and Abby know that the afternoon was a family baby shower, decorations had to be changed. The birthday banner (designed by Kristen) was moved to another part of our garage. Cerwin’s mother demonstrates her great sense of humor. And before long the decorations had changed. In the kitchen Lydia was putting the finishing touches […]
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 […]
It began on February 7 and lasted until February 18. Now that I am into the last day of this marathon, I feel a bit like it has been a biblical jubilee and as of today I am in need of a biblical fast. 🙂 I will begin that tomorrow. 🙂 My birthday celebration began at Jere and Kristen’s […]
We love you! Grandpa & Grandma High
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 […]
More pictures of the snow from Monday, February 3. By the time the snow stopped, we had about 8 inches on the ground. I felt bad for the birds, because every feeder was covered with snow. The suet was popular as it remained free of snow. Just before lunch, I decided to fill a large, […]
Sunday, February 2 dawned beautiful, clear, and cold. It was one of those mornings when the sunrise seemed to fill the entire sky. No, I didn’t turn the camera upside down. Within half hour of sunrise the clouds began to overshadow the sun. After church we noticed a large flock of black birds in the […]
We love you! Grandpa & Grandma
This is an update from Grandma on your counted cross-stitch pictures. Ian, I finally have yours finished. I delivered it for framing on Friday. It should be finished by January 31. Jared, I started yours on Wednesday, right after I finished Ian’s. I had to go to A.C. Moore for a few new skeins of thread […]
…of going to Elizabeth Nails with Diane. Friday afternoon, January 3 It is a delightful thing to do on a frigid day in Maine. The atmosphere takes us away from the snow and low temperatures of the outside. This year we took Lydia, Elizabeth, and Hannah along. I think they are hoping that this becomes […]
Friday, January 3 We woke up to a beautiful winter wonderland on Friday morning. The mobile chicken pen in their back yard. The eight inches on top of the previous twenty-four inches this area had in the past few weeks created some steep snow banks. I would have liked to go outside, but the temptation to […]
Diane made an interesting, delicious breakfast for the first day of the year. We had a large pizza crust in our freezer – leftover from a party – so I brought it along to Maine. Diane covered it with a white sauce, scrambled egg, ham, and cheese mixture. Because everyone was here, they decided to open the […]
After Christmas was over, Jared and Jesse found gifts for us that were forgotten. They did the artwork at school. Thank you! We love them.
Our gift exchange began with the grandchildren who had exchanged names. Jesse – the youngest – began by giving a gift to his big brother Josh. It was cologne, so Josh tested it on Jesse. He gave some of us an opportunity to smell it. Next in age – Jared gave his gift to Diana. Ian had Gloria’s […]
When our “girls” decided (a few years ago) that they would always make the Christmas meal and we would provide the place, I resisted a bit, but with our busy past few weeks, I was grateful that all I had to do was clean the house and prepare the garage and coffee and punch. Roy and […]
