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 Perfume

Do you have a memory that’s linked to a smell? I remember the smell of the perfume my wife wore when we were dating. During the years that we were writing letters, I remember going to the college campus post office every day to check if there was a letter from her. The envelope always had the same sweet aroma.

Here we are after 53 years of marriage!

Earliest Memory

What is the earliest memory you have? I remember when boxes were taken apart and we used the 3/4″ x 3/4″ x 6″ pieces of wood to create buildings, fences, etc. Probably 3-4 years old!
