Happy 50th Birthday, Son

Dustin, delighted with his jello cake, last year on, or near his birthday!

Dustin looking for birds!?! Wishing we were with you today to celebrate this milestone!!

Happy Birthday, Son

Caught with his hand up!

And Austin with his birthday cake, from last year! Looking forward to celebrating his birthday again today! I am sure this jello-cake was one of his favorite birthday cakes.

Pony Parade

Somehow these ponies escaped and ran down the road. I was shocked to see this Amish father ands son each with a pony and one running loose. Not sure if only one got out and they rode the others to go find them or what! It amused me to see them coming down the snow covered road.

This Amish Mother and daughter decided to return and walk home later. When they had walked to church it had been a “balmy” 39 degrees F, but by noon things had changed, with a fierce west wind.

With my tele lens and the speed of the girl, this photo only captured the lady! Stay warm!

Happy Valentine’s Day

A card that my Mother gave to her Grandmother, back in the 30’s, or maybe 20’s!

Happy Brother, Brother

My brother and I. I am the oldest!

Merry Christmas

And a Happy New Year!

In Memory

Being encouraged by a good friend to post my photos, I decided it was time to put up this post. Martha Yoder, my wife’s sister passed away on December 3, 2024. She was 73 years old, after a 1.5 year battle with cancer. Martha loved angels, so my wife wanted me to carve an angel in memory of her that we could include with our Christmas decorations. I ended up, carving three angels, and finished them with three different finishes. We are missing Martha during this season.

Sweet Lady

My Aunt Betty, a fine lady I have known all of my life. I was privileged to attend her wedding. Many good memories. I always look forward to my visits with her.

Uncle Merlin

A pleasure to visit with Alice’s Uncle Merlin!

Bride and Groom, and Bride’s son. She was a widow.

A day with mixed emotions, since my good friend was marrying a widow. Notice non-posed photos, very typical of the Amish.

This was the only “posed” photo. the young ladies standing in the back are good friends of mine!

The New Widow

My Aunt who is watching the burial of her husband, surrounded by family and Great-Grandchildren! Thankful that she will have people who will give her comfort during this painful time.
