Scort

We usually spend Sunday afternoons traveling to a park and taking a picnic.  But the air conditioning was broken in my car and Bob was offered a job to escort a wide truck load of farm equipment from the Ohio line to the Maryland line.  So I spent the day side by side with Bob watching him work.  He's only been at this a couple years, yet Bob's become the best escort a trucker could ask for.  He's excellent at warning of hazards , calls every tight spot and obstacle and gives adequate heads up on approaching turns.  After the escort, we dined at a fun cafe for lunch, then had a dinner by candlelight on our deck that evening.

Shades of Green

The sweater Mom wears is her favorite shade of green.  She recalls the teal green coat her Mom bought her when she was a senior in high school"

"It was 1942 and we didn't have anything.  I was going to Midnight Mass at the Episcopal Church with a friend and she lent me a red hat.  I felt beautiful!"

74 years later-you're still beautiful!

Fun with Food

It's so satisfying doing culinary demos at the Farmers Market.  The Working H Farm Family welcomed me into their kitchen where I work along side the Hardestys, creating recipes with local foods.  Bob goes to the market with me where he and I distribute some 200 samples an promote local food.

May Cards

Many people were excited when my nephew Brian and wife Brittany were expecting a baby.  The shower had many guests, included my 90 year old Mom, her great grandchildren, the couples' parents and my out of town sister.  It was a special occasion.  The card on the right is for Brittany.

"You'll watch him as he falls to sleep,

You'll gasp in wonder at your love so deep,

You have for your precious baby boy,

For his life will unfold bringing so much joy,

For the years ahead hold so much pleasure,

For you and your baby to share together."

My friend Debbie, a talented baker and all around lovely person, celebrated a birthday.  This card is for Debbie.   

"Bright and sparkling,

The promise of things yet to come

For today is such a special day

And it's only just begun,

So treasure these twenty four hours.

Celebrate, be thankful, have fun

May your birthday be filled with much laughter,

From dawn till the setting of the sun." 

 This get well card is for Fran, a talented crafter.

"They say everyone has an Angel

That's close to them each day,

Who watches and protects them,

And at night never go awy.

May you feel their light upon you,

Healing you as you rest,

So that one day soon,

Not very far from now,

You'll soon be feeling your best."

Our son Greg and his wife Michelle celebrated 4 years of marriage on May 19th.  This anniversary card is for Greg and Michelle.

"May the memories of all you've shared

Fill your hearts today

And may all the coming years

Bring the love that's here to stay."

Jean, a former colleague, celebrated a birthday this month.  Jean is beautiful in every respect.

"There's really nothing special

about this birthday card. . . 

except the person holding it!"

My nephew Brian is 35 years old today.  This card is for him.  He is home and paternity leave, so I'm sure he'll remember this day.

"May this Birthday be one 

that you'll never forget

And may it start off a year

That's your happiest yet."

My nephew Steve is 40 on June 11th.  Steve's a great dad and husband.  I'm sure he'll have some fun with his family on this day.

"May your 40th birthday bring

You as much happiness and joy

As you give to everyone who knows you.

Enjoy your day."
