Roll-Kuchen, Roses, & Rejoicing


Little roses in my garden; 
perfect petals drinking in sunshine and radiating the goodness of June


Patrice was here last week and it was lovely to see her decompress and enjoy life up here, away from those things that have been stressful and hard.


Check out this video below (I finally figured out how to install them - yay!) and you will also feel all your stress melting away... 


One evening Patrice worked her creative wonders and produced a stellar meal of roll-kuchen and watermelon for us at Elsie's place.


She sure got the Mennonite cooking gene and we are all so grateful for that, especially now that Mom and Tante Hilda don't make these treats anymore.


There was so much joy, deliciousness and laughter in the room.


Just listen to Tante Hilda and look at mom's smile!
For her, the greatest comfort and stability is having us "all together".


Winnie is an exhausting work in progress, but she is endlessly cute which is a good thing for her.



This is the delightful season where fragrant roses appear on my table courtesy of Elsie's garden and her love of beauty.


Mom enjoys her times outside, commenting on the flowers and listening to a devotional while sipping her coffee.


Glorious, good, lovely June. 


Our "bookish club" continues to meet and have sweet times of fellowship and powerful times of prayer.
I love the faith and courage these ladies carry.  
Plus we laugh a lot together which is the kind of vitamins we need during this summer of a pandemic.
How surreal...


I managed to take Mom and Tante Hilda out on a beautiful drive and our eyes eagerly drank in the sights.


Trees reaching for heaven and the green carpet below giving glory where glory is due.
Every blade of grass, every leaf, every flower singing the eternal song of the great Creator. 


And these two, bringing joy to their Maker and to anyone else who is close enough to hear the peals of laughter and watch the wiggling Winnie. 



These lovely ladies drove up and we managed to pull off a Butterfly Patio- Party with some Thai Food.


Such fun! 


Wine, decadent desserts...


Wild laughter!!  


Thanking God for the goodness of a beautiful, warm June and a pretty patio full of friends.
