A Hurricane named Hanna

A Wedding Reception

And the best laid plans of mice and men.

As some of you know,
we have been planning
to have the
Delaware wedding reception
tomorrow evening
(Saturday, September 6, 2008)
for Raph and Regina.

As of now, we are still planning to have it
but we’ve changed the location
from
The pavilion here at Shady Acres
to
The fellowship hall
at
Cannon Mennonite Church.
Still at 6:00 pm.
Anyone who wants to come
is still encouraged to do so.
(Even if you didn’t receive a personal invitation, we’d be honored to have you come.)

Joe and Tasha’s Wedding

Here are the pictures from Joe and Tasha’s wedding. I finally got a disc from Joe’s sister, Joni, via her mom, my sister, Sarah. I hope all of you enjoy it. I’m doing a slide show again because it is easier than almost anything else to do when you have a big group of pictures.

It’s September!!!

That means that the Pilgrims are coming to Shady Acres!

Yesterday, the first two pairs made their appearance.

I found this candle/warmer at Yankee Candle years ago.
It was stuffed up on a shelf, back out of the way.
With a sale price and a discount coupon, I think I paid all of $8.00 for it.
It is really my favorite.

When we were in Ohio at Raph and Regina’s wedding,
I found this little pilgrim couple at the “Amish Flea Market”
and decided to buy it instead of lunch.
I try to limit my purchases of pilgrims (and Manger scenes)
to no more than one a year, and this is my purchase for 2008.

I truly love the Harvest Season.
This season of Grateful Praise doesn’t get enough attention (or celebration).
Which is why I like to get an early start.

And this morning I give praise for my family, my friends.
For sweet memories, and joyful anticipation.
For all that I’ve been given, and all that I am privileged to give.
For a home and a house to put it in.
For the joy of sins forgiven.
For the peace of today in the provision of my Heavenly Father.
And for the hope of Heaven that keeps me mindful of how tenuous our time here.

For those of us who believe, we really are pilgrims here.
Dear friends, we DARE NOT forget!
