GREAT DAY!

What a delightful day with new friends! Headed to Cape Canaveral for lunch with the "Christian Chicks"... Then we checked out the "tall ships" docked near by... and a walk down the Jetty Park. Watch for more photos from this adventure but for now- here's the Chicks!

BIRTHDAY

What an extra-ordinary birthday! The Church Session and Deacons both celebrated with birthday cake and cup cakes! Tonight these three fun companions and their delightful mom went out to dinner with me..to a Japanese Steak House! The kids enjoyed the "show" and chop sticks! The topped off with phone calls from family and friends in addition to all the Face Book good wishes. Thank you Lord for this my 67th year!

Guess?

What is your best guess? What is this photo all about?

The Milk Stool

It was sometime around 1960, my Dad burned his foot by tripping over a bucket of boiling water... water he was planning to use to clean the feathers off a chicken destined for the evening's dinner. Here he is resting on the front porch with his leg propped up ... note the brown stool under his foot. He built that stool to use in milking cows. I am so pleased to have that same stool in my new home.

First Swim

I bought the kids new swim suits and noodles, so tonight {even though it was only in the 70's and drizzling rain} they were excited to jump in and try out their stuff!

BEGINNINGS

The beginning of a new day, with all the possibilities of doing things that will last for eternity... treating others with compassion and patience, offering moments of thanksgiving to Christ, gently pointing people toward the love of God... all possibilities for today!

Recorded History

Pennsylvania is filled with historical places, dating back to 12,000 years ago. Often these locations have plaques giving some pertinent information about the site... such as "George Washington slept here"! With that in mind, my sister posted this sign on her Pennsylvania home.
