In reply to Marian Beaman. I only like cleaning my house, Marian. Not other people's. Never once thought of being scared of ouchies! But then I was on a path and just stepped off.

I love the photos and the sentiment here. You sound so content.
By the way, you can come clean my house any day of the week, except Sunday, of course. And about the photo with the feet: I’d be afraid you’d get ouchies, walking in the field with sandals like that! :-D

In reply to Melodie M Davis. It's Pennsylvania Dutch, not real German. I should have clarified that. I would love to get together with you one of these days. Do let us know if you have an opportunity.

This is a beautiful picture of the two of you, beaming with sunshine and happiness. And yes, I too have found much more contentment in being pretty much a homemaker, so to speak, here in retirement. At this point I don’t have any major volunteer commitments other than some with and for the church, and occasional things with our Lions Club, but I enjoy our house, cleaning and certainly gardening (well, I get tired and worn out too especially on the hot days). I love arranging flowers, but don’t have anyone to take them to just now, with all the nursing homes etc. closed to visitors. I like your reflections on the differences you are finding between yourselves and these German-speaking Anabaptists. Is it real German, or Penn. Dutch. ?? Anyway, I think we were able to get together about 3 years ago when you passed through Harrisonburg. Keeping you in mind if we get up in Western Maryland with extra time.

In reply to Roberta. My mom taught me to do cold bread soup like that! She had it as an occasional snack, and I liked to fix a bowl for myself, too. This bread soup is a warm bread soup. I will try to get the recipe and share it in a future post.

In reply to Omar Miller. You know, I never once noticed the license plate...I guess my attention was taken by the Gators and tractors in the line up.
