The Beauty of Frost

After 2 days of fog we had beautiful, thick hoar frost!
I'd say it ws about 3/4 inch thick.

Makes everything look beautiful.


Too bad I didn't have a blue sky to contrast it. Maybe tomorrow!
Our house is finished its hail damage repair and we made some changes; new stone beside the garage door, new people door into the garage, and black trim instead of green.

Happy Birthday, Magan!

Magan, do you remember when Jon played the chef for you?
Was this your birthday or Valentine's Day?
I'm guessing you were about 17. You were still in high school.
Cute, eh?

In high school, this was a pretty big stretch for Jon to produce!
Have a great day tomorrow!

Saturday Night Fundraiser

The fundraiser held Saturday night was to help Darrell and Jess finance their trip to Africa to complete their adoption of twin girls. It was a great success, and we are so thankful for all the friendships and support. They raised enough to pay for the four tickets needed to bring them all home. What a blessing!


It included a steak dinner, a jazz band, and a silent auction. Close to 200 people came.

Darrell and Tim both play in the jazz band, but Darrell took the night off. Tim is the drummer.

Kaleb having fun with Grandma Schmidt.

The friends at our table bought some of the stoneware I brought for the auction. So glad they went to good homes!
