Diana’s Tea Shop …

July 31, 2022

During our visit in Nebraska this month, Holly and I visited a tea shop in a small suburb of Omaha. She and her mother-in-law had bought tea from this shop on several occasions, and they thought it would a neat place for me to visit. It was fun seeing the likenesses and differences in the […]

Covid Christmas

December 31, 2020

This Christmas was going to look and be different due to covid. We knew that; it was expected … but little did we know what God was going to do for us! We were able to spend time with my sister, Debbie, who had recently lost her husband the end of November. We were able […]

New Grandbaby … Comes Early!

October 26, 2020

Our new grandbaby decided to make her appearance two months early! Needless to say, it was quite unexpected! As soon as we got word that she was coming and nothing was going to stop her, we literally threw our stuff together and headed out of town. We have not met her face-to-face but all the […]

Oh Happy Day …

June 24, 2020

Matthew and Bethany were married early June in a small but lovely ceremony in the country. Only parents, grandparents, siblings, and a few friends were in attendance due to the covid-19 pandemic. The weather was perfect – the bride was and is beautiful – the groom’s heart was showing in his eyes – and the […]

September Whirlwind …

September 30, 2019

September was a whirlwind for Jared and me. We took a short break to visit family and friends and saw His faithfulness all along the way! Traveling through eight states and clocking close to four thousand miles was a bit rough on us but so worth the time with all those special people! We left […]

Our Hearts Rejoice …

June 10, 2019

How wonderful it is to spend time with family! Holly and the grandkids were able to come for a short visit in early June. We did not “do” anything special except spend time together. Doing things like going to the park and eating freeze pops on the back porch in the afternoon became an ordinary […]

Fun Times …

It is always special spending time with family and we treasure every moment that God gives us! During our recent visit with our girls we were able to make memories with our grands! Pray for our girls and their husbands … as they continue to invest into the lives of the “gifts” that God has […]

My Heart is Full …

April 18, 2018

What? Another trip? Three days after returning home to WI my heart was full as Jared and I left for NE on Spring Break! I didn’t think this trip was going to be possible but God pulled it together and on the road we went. What joy it was for us to be in our […]

COME AND GO

January 24, 2018

January has proven to be a fast paced month. I came home from WY after Christmas and immediately went back to work in the ED Office at the BI (Bible Institute). Helping with preparations for the new semester, registering students, and learning how to enter data in “Populi” (College Management Computer Program) was once again […]

Grandpa Makes the Rounds!

October 29, 2017

We are missing Grandpa! We have certainly enjoyed having the extra pair of hands during these early days with the “quads” but Grandpa Jared has now gone back home to WI and back into ministry, but … off and on, through parts of the months of September and October, he has been on the road […]
