Music Lessons in a Cozy Place

We have the pleasure of taking piano lessons in a home that dates back to the 1700s. Our teacher has decorated her lovely home with an assortment of beautiful things at which to look. Being in her home, and having her teach our children piano, has been a great blessing to us for which we are thankful.

Skylight Stables

My children have had the pleasure of riding and working at Skylight Stables with some truly lovely people! We are so thankful for the experience of learning to work heard while being in a beautiful setting with majestic creatures! There are some of the most unusual chickens I've ever seen at the barn; one is pictured above.

Meeting Asher

What is more precious than a new born baby! This is my great nephew Asher.

Co-Op

Our family is involved in a "co-op" with three other homeschooling families who, more importantly, are dear friends. Of the many things in life, for which we can praise the Lord, no doubt the friends He gives are one of our most precious treasures. I thoroughly love meeting with these families and teaching these children. I marvel at how God made each child so different. He has given each of these precious children different gifts and I love hearing what they come up with in writing class. I will give each student a model story to write with and I never cease to be amazed how many different ideas come forth from them. Some are touching, some are instructive and most are hysterical! I am so thankful to be able to see God's wisdom displayed in their young lives by making them each so creative and precious.

Chesapeake City, MD

As we were walking around Chesapeake City on a crisp wintery day we passed the red berry bush pictured below and commented on how merciful God is to give us color in winter. Ron observed that the color red in winter should remind us of God's faithfulness to us! In our darkest (coldest days) God is faithful to bring forth life. After the flood he promised he would never destroy the world again and tells us in Genesis 8 that "summer and winter and day and night shall not cease." So while some of you might be struggling getting through winter, maybe look for the signs of "life" and be encouraged that God is faithful.





















For as long as I can remember knowing Ron, he has taken me down to Chesapeake City for a walk through town. Inevitably, we would end up at the General Store, which we lovingly call "The Lollipop Store." Ron has taken each of his girls there for a lollipop since they were little. Of all the things in life, for which I can praise the Lord, one of the greatest is the love of my husband which I enjoy and the love he has for our three girls.








The sign above has always cracked me up. It's on the Delaware/Maryland line.
