Today was catch-up day, getting the things done that I had planned for earlier in the week. Bank, food, both Pinnacles, Mike P, Post Office, Gabes. I didn’t get home until after 2pm, but everything is back on track. After I ate, I cleaned the strawberries and then boiled potatoes and eggs. I decided that I need to pick a plan and stick to it, and eat better and be more organized. We’ll see how I do!
I also want to write to Colonial Williamsburg and see if I can get an additional ornament from this year. I have my Williamsburg Christmas tree with all my collectable Williamsburg ornaments – but I really like this one on the wall by my lanterns. Possibly I could get a second one. They’re pretty good about that, especially if I request it when I am sending in my donation!
My high school friend Diane sent me this picture that our classmate Kendra (with whom Diane still keeps in close touch) took at the Gateway National Park in New Jersey. Amazing! Thanks to both girls for sharing.
I don’t have a specific plan for tomorrow. I’ll see what appeals to me when I get up, after the treadmill. Tomorrow is a brand new day, with no mistakes in it! (Quote from Anne Shirley – Anne of Green Gables.)
January 20 – Did any relatives ever live with you? “My dad’s mother, Grandma Crooks, lived with us and so did my dad’s brother, Uncle Edd Crooks. They were a big part of our family. We loved them very much.” We found evidence of that when we were going through Mom’s trunk. Uncle Edd carved a lot of special gifts for Mom!
Calendar inspiration for today – Even Nature takes a break to focus on serenity. Slow down!
Yesterday’s vacation destination was actually in our ‘own back yard’ – Historic Hanna’s Town, which I have posted LOTS about! The posted photo was the LeFevre House, directly across the street from the Education Center and the Tavern. The house was donated to the historic society, taken apart, and rebuilt one log at a time. Events at Hanna’s town are: Spring and fall teas at the Steele house, exhibits in the education center (currently Penn’s Woods), Research library, gift shop, Independence Day celebration, Proctor’s Militia encampments, Court Days, Civil War Weekend (every other year), Fall Family Day, Three Centuries of Christmas, Holiday Family Day, and many special seminars and workshops. It’s right in your OWN BACK YARD – so check it out! www.westmorelandhistory.org. As you can see, I get pretty passionate about the site!
