Rest in the Lord and be willing to wait for Him. Psalm 37:7 (NLV)
Friday Evening, March 11 We always look forward to this Sportsmen’s Dinner at Worship Center, Leola, PA. After the meal I checked out the vendors. Our grandson Ian checking out the door prizes. There were 15 in our group: Cerwin, me, Jeff, Chris, Jordan, five of his friends, Diana, Gloria, Jere, Jana, and Ian. Each year […]
Monday, February 8 I don’t derive great joy in going to where there are great crowds of people, but Cerwin, Jeff, Jordan, Donovan, Diana, and Gloria were going – and it was my birthday. What I do enjoy is watching activities that are going on in the Large and Small Arenas while the others are visiting […]
Friday evening, March 6 – Worship Center, Leola, Pennsylvania. Jana, Josh, Ian, Cerwin, Jere, and I went for the 5:00 PM meal. (There are three time choices – 5:00 PM, 5:30 PM, and 6:00 PM.) We like the early seating, as it gives us time to see vendors and reserve seats in the auditorium before […]
Today ~ November 30 This morning as the sun was rising, I was saying goodbye to four special hunters. The Pennsylvania whitetail hunt opens tomorrow, and these hopeful hunters were on their way by 7:00 AM. This is the first hunt for Jana and Ian. Jere has been hunting for thirty-something years. I am not […]
Cerwin, our oldest son Jeff, and Jeff & Chris’ middle daughter Diana, are on a five-day hunt at Hunt West Kentucky: https://www.facebook.com/HuntWestKentucky. They only needed three days! 🙂 Jeff got his eight-point on the first day of the hunt. Cerwin was next – on the third evening. His is also an eight-point. Diana texted me about […]
Friday, March 7 Internet Photo We arrived at Worship Center near Leola for the evening’s activities about 5:00 p.m. Our group included: our son Jeff, his sons Jordan and Nate and daughter Diana, and friends Justin and Tyler who had arrived a few minutes before Cerwin and me. I look forward to their delicious roast meats. This year there was […]
Tuesday, February 4 We left home about 9 a.m. to head for the show at Harrisburg. It was an especially beautiful drive – after about eight inches of snow the day before. This area was breath-taking. Cerwin was interested in finding the outfitters, but along the way we stopped to admire a wall of trophy racks. […]
It was a slow day in our part of the country. When I got up at 5:30 this morning, I noticed lights in the field in front of our house. I thought that was strange, but at daylight we saw there was a goose hunter out there – with a bunch of duck decoys. (He […]
Monday, November 18 It was fun to open our hotel room curtain early each morning, then open the sliding glass door to our small deck overlooking the lake and watch the sunrise. It was about this time that I made coffee (in the pot in our room) and began to blog about the previous day – while […]
the ladies enjoyed a cooking demonstration in the hotel restaurant. The chef demonstrated how to make Sweet Onion and Celery Seed Dressing. When he was finished we were treated to a chicken salad lunch that used the dressing. It was delicious. After the luncheon the ladies presented Kassy and Missy (our hostesses) with gifts because of all their […]
Cerwin loved the view from his tree stand/sissy shack on Monday and took a few cell phone pictures. While he enjoyed seeing several doe, a few small buck, a nice buck at a distance, squirrels, and turkey, I took a walk around the hotel and boat dock – also enjoying the beautiful weather. You may remember that I […]
Many of the hunters said this was one of the windiest days in which they have ever hunted. At least it was fairly warm and not raining. Even the birds perched on the ledge of the window (next to where I sat in the lounge doing my counted cross stitch) to get away from the wind. […]
Day One of the Hunt. These pictures are from my perspective, as Cerwin did not take any pictures while out in the field. He was on Farm N – Stand #2 – while I enjoyed the comfort of the hotel and the fellowship of the other ladies. The ladies enjoyed a meet and greet breakfast […]
While Cerwin went through orientation and met other hunters, I went outside to photograph memories from this hotel in Osage, Missouri. It was a beautiful day for a walk. Nineteen of the twenty vans that will take the hunters to their locations on Saturday morning. #15 van was missing when I took this picture. The […]
Today begins a new hunting experience for Cerwin. The beautiful view from our room. This looks like an area that I will want to explore while Cerwin is hunting. There are lots of beautiful mounts in the lobby – from previous Whitetail Trophy Hunts. Kevin, right, is the man who recruited Cerwin for this hunt […]
The taxidermist called to let our guys know that their mounts are ready. Jere stopped in after getting this nice mount from his 2012 Pennsylvania hunt in Tioga County. Cerwin got this European mount from his 2012 Kentucky hunt and showed it to Jordan. I am glad that we have a lot of space on […]
