It’s Christmas Day, and that means it’s time to work my Stave Santa puzzle (entitled “In A Wink”) for what I see on the handwritten label is the 20th year! Back 20-some years ago, when business was booming and we were all flush, I discovered these gorgeous Stave jigsaw puzzles. Each is hand cut from…
Um, yeah, so I see it’s been two years since I posted anything on my poor little blog. I started to write a really passionate post last year around this time, about the upcoming presidential election, but it turned out to be too difficult to put into words, so it’s still a draft. But recently,…
They’re making me put my foot up for a while (recovering from a previous sprain), so I’ll write a little about our day so far… We had scrambled eggs and ham for breakfast this morning, along with Psalm 127:1, and got over to Dave and Betty’s house by 8:00. We unloaded all the tools and…
…posting from my phone… still can’t get on my site. Tempted to try to find a coffee shop with WiFi here pretty soon… Last night we decided to get an earlier start to our workday today, to try to beat the brutal heat (it’s been getting to the upper 90’s by mid-afternoon, under a blazing…

We got our rides all sorted, and discussed what to bring (things like sunblock, gloves, boots, high-power bug spray…). There was a nice article in Monday’s Ellwood City Ledger…
Dear friends, I will be traveling to Apison, TN (near Chattanooga) later this month with a group of about 30 people from Concord United Methodist Church (Beaver Falls, PA). We will be working with Open House Volunteers to help the Apison community recover and rebuild after April’s devastating tornadoes, which killed 8 people there and…
[This was penned by my sister, who is also my business partner. I offered to post it on my blog because I agree it’s something that needs to be said.] Dear Mr. President, Many years ago, and two years after I had been elected President by our Board, Our company was facing hard times. There…
Where HAVE the days gone, indeed… Aside from a half-hearted attempt last Fall (a YEAR ago!) it would appear that I haven’t blogged for quite a while. Of course, I’ve blogged in my HEAD many times (thinking how I would write about this or that trip or hike), but it never happened. I’m going to…
