I am counting today because of Japan's suffering. ~ We have warm, spacious houses far, far removed from the threat of tsunamis. It's not like they in Japan deserve what they're getting right now anymore than we deserve what we enjoy. ~I am thankful for salvation and the freedom to live and share it. ~ I heard… Continue reading Blessings
A Day In The Life Of This Mom
My day started with a cup of coffee with Elv. It happened to be warmer upstairs in the living room so that's where we sat. I am studying to teach Sunday School next Sunday. We're in Nehemiah 7 where all the family names of the returned Jews are listed. At the end of… Continue reading A Day In The Life Of This Mom
Our Cabin
Everybody is curious about how we came to have a cabin in Minnesota. Some of you will be satisfied to know that the owner thereof didn't think he could use it anymore and offered to sell it to us. So we bought. At any rate, this cabin is "off the grid" and rather unfinished. Even… Continue reading Our Cabin

Miracles Just For Me
My new contacts came this week. So now I can see to sew. The old glasses made everything I look at so small that I couldn't see anything tiny anymore. I haven't been able to sew for a couple years now and crocheting a doily has been impossible. Not anymore. With the combination… Continue reading Miracles Just For Me

Funeral Reunion
We went to Uncle Herman’s funeral today. There were around 600 people in attendance… two thirds of which were cousins or nieces and nephews of Uncle Herman. That is a lot of people in one place! (Cousins or not!) The singing was awesome. The Hersheys are good singers anyway, but put that many of them… Continue reading Funeral Reunion
Real Smiles
Reading in Job this morning I found him bemoaning the lack of a Mediator. He mentioned not knowing when God was around and if he did happen to notice doubt would set in anyway. I think we women would have to agree that such thoughts are familiar. We are masters at doubting that God… Continue reading Real Smiles
Blue
This is a cheerful blue. I'm trying to feel it that way, too. But some days are hard to do. It should be a perfect quiet winter day wherein we can count our blessings by the score. But it isn't, for reasons of my own. Nothing about anyone else, so don't worry. I read Anita's… Continue reading Blue
Conflicting Information
The Vintage Snowmobile Ride started out right here at the end of our lane. Up to 180 sleds gathered in for this fund raiser for the American Heart Association. Part way through the morning a pick-up pulled into the back lots to turn around? and got stuck. He happened to pull in exactly where Elv… Continue reading Conflicting Information
