John has an ability not only to fix things, but to build them as well. He gets that from his father and now Oliver has picked up on it as well. I love to see what they do together. This layout just shows Oliver in his new work goggles.

These pictures were taken March 5 when the weather was good for being outdoors. Today however, it is much colder. The temperatures are in the low 40's and the wind is very chilling. The real feel is in the 20's. We got out for church and lunch, but came home where we are staying indoors and entertaining ourselves. I am at the computer and he is watching TV. We have to remember that we do live in Ohio.

This is our grandson Brandon and his sweetheart he calls his Baby Girl. Her name is Hannah and she is very sweet. They've been in different states since he got his new job in TX. It is good to see them together.

This is a recent picture of our daughter, Chelle, who is celebrating her 27th anniversary with Greg. I look at her and think, there is no way they have been married that long. But I vividly remember when these two college grads were married in 1994. Happy Anniversary Chelle and Greg.

Phyllis is getting ready to leave. She is getting rid of things she can do without and packing. It is a big job. But she is also taking time to be with us, her friends. We love you Phyllis.

Face Time is such a blessing, especially when one's grandchildren live hundreds of miles away. The Pandemic is a problem as well. some who live closer still must keep their distance and Face Time is the best solution we have. I remember when I was in college out of state, talking to my parents on the telephone was a rare occasion because of the cost of long distance phoning. I remember missionaries going away to some far away land and not being able to converse with their extended families for perhaps years. Now with our cell phones and computers, we can talk to and see our friends and family on the other side of the world for nothing...except the price of the device. Hmmm. I hadn't thought of that. It still isn't free! But it is much more possible. And of course seeing those we love is the best part. Often as we talk to our loved ones out of state, I take screen shots so that I can remember. This layout today is an example of that.

You've seen the snowmen built on March 16. This is the big snow on the 14th that made those snowmen possible. A whole book could be made about that storm. It certainly made life a little more interesting after being locked up through a year of pandemic.
