Taking a few days

This week , I had planned on catching up on several posts. But right now, I am hurting for my family. My step-brother and his wife lost their littlest boy on Saturday. It has nothing to do with me, except that I can’t stop thinking of them… and their other two children… and him. My […]

Pennsylvania what the ?

Living in Pennsylvania, we see some interesting homemade contraptions. Hubby snapped a photo of this lovely piece of work while picking up lumber from Lowe’s today. He said the car was full of some Amish guys who threw their lumber on top and drove away. That is some quality construction there folks!  Can you see […]
