happy anniversary

On January 21st, Nonie and Nano celebrated their 54th wedding anniversary.

It was a lovely day full of joy and thanksgiving to God for all the blessings He has bestowed on our family!

Audra supplied the exquisite cake, which was as delicious as it was beautiful.

Who lives....?

One of Pete's favorite joke lines is the one that starts "Who lives...", as in "Who lives in the mailbox?" Bill. "Who lives at the bank?" Rob. "Who lives at the radio station?" Mike.


Well, the other night after he was in bed, he called out "Mom, I've got a new joke." sigh. I was tired. "What is it Peter?" "Who lives in the soul?" that's interesting, "Who, Peter?" "Will."

Very good, Peter! You are absolutely right!

afternoon jaunt

Start with a beautiful day at Signal Hill Park...




Add one dog.

Stir in 2 young boys.

Fold in 3 sisters....."Point your toes, Jeanne"

Bake in a cool January oven for 30 minutes. Give Thanks for God's goodness in the sunshine, weather and company. Enjoy!

Chistmas Eve visits

On Christmas Eve, we went up to see Nonie and Nano with the family and Mikey and Nicole.

Just after this picture was taken, Jeanne read "Spanish Teresita" for the amusement of all!

Friday reading

After completing his math and writing this morning, Peter settled in for an hour of reading, sharing a blanket with a canine "carpet potato" (who is NOT allowed on the couch).

New kitty

Lu got a kitten from the twin's house to surprise Mikey with for the 8th day of Christmas.

She is about 12 weeks old, and an outside cat. Her old name was Morpheus, and I believe her new name is Cat. :-)

Tom and Kris

Congratulations to the beautiful couple!!!

The wedding was on December 29th in St. Elizabeth of Hungary Church in Pen Argyl, Pennsylvania---with windchill to zero degrees.
