Nicaragua Beach

I am disappointed, because we were due to be touring Israel this week, and next. We did get our tour money back, but will have to wait for the money from El Al, until they are up and running. I am thinking there is likely something better ahead for us. Now glad, we decided the make the trip to Nicaragua in February. At least with 20-20 vision, we can look back and better analyze what is happening, etc., and it’s ramifications! Let’s not despair, but look ahead with hope.

Postcard Burst

I thought maybe I could bring cheer to some friends, so I sent out a batch of postcards! I ran out of stamps that have sitting in my desk drawer for probably four years! So, I replenished my stash!

Was this an Einstein moment? A after shampoo, selfie!

Weather-worn and New

Eating and Drinking

Relaxation

I have more books in 2020 than, I have for a long time. Here I am by a cozy corner of our living room, enjoying a book written by a friend, Frank Yoder. The book talks about the author’s early days in Iowa. They were neighbors to my mother’s family, and had some interaction. So these stories of events in the 20’s and 30’s was an interesting read.

The upper photo is of a plow that is manufactured locally for the Amish, many who use horses for their field work. In the lower photo, you see a plow in action!

Fun

Selfies

Not sure if photos of myself are called selfies?

These were taken in Nicaragua.
