You can't help but love him

Are you on Instagram?

If you are, please follow Andre Polonski

He lives in Ukraine, one of the few who seem to be left there. I haven't followed him long enough to know why he chose to stay.

I suspect it has something to do with this mother. When the bombing began, he moved in with her.

He has much food storage because he took his church leaders' advice through the years and built it mightily up.

Since the bombing, he spends his days gathering and delivering it to those in dire need. Many of these are elderly who didn't have the strength to get out of Ukraine. They are hungry and alone and scared. He brings them food.

He's very inspiring. He gives daily reports.

So amazing to see how God works through others.

We pray for him everyday. You can't help but love him.

Wonders of this week #18

Amen to that.

2. Our March 8th birthday twins celebrated this week.

Born by different parents on the same day, three years apart....

Erin

McKay

McKay was in New Orleans on business that day

and I sent him this...

3. Finally organizing ALL of our pictures through the years. I found a system I think I'm going to like. More later if it turns out.

4. In the process of all that,

I found this funeral program of my pediatrician from 1969.

He was killed in a plane crash along with his son and daughter in law.

It was such a very sad time.

I remember my Dad saying he found out while at work,

and then looked for a place to be alone and cry.

Side note: Mary Thompson also played the piano for my Mom's funeral 48 years later in 2007.

5. I also found this amongst the pictures.

I must have saved it from years and years ago, because it is so true!

6. Also this. 1973, visiting a friend on the job.

And don't those prices look lovely.

This picture speaks to me.

Violet

Erin texted this to me yesterday:

"Violet found your blog! She made a video of her favorite post. Watch her tiny finger."

Thank you sweet Violet! You made me so happy. 💜

Wonders of this past week....

1. This was a big deal. When I asked Erin if I could share it here, she said she believes Cami would want her family to know.

First Erin's text to me:

2. If you ever have left over frozen pancakes.....

No preheating. Just pop in oven for 8 minutes.

3. If you are looking for a decent clean family show, try this one....

Den and I watched episode one this week, and we're onto the 2nd.

4. Elora drove to Mill Valley this weekend to spend it with her 2nd cousin Hailey.

I love it when these girls are together!

And Hailey's bedroom is magical.

She gave me permission to show it here.

Enjoy your movie, girls!

Nighty Night!

5. The one below reminds me of Mom.

Before I got married the first time, she gave me some advice. She said try having dinner ready when he comes home from work. And if not, to have the table set so he will have hope!

6. Thursday night I had plans to make chef salad for dinner but I forgot to hard boil the eggs for that. So I quickly threw the pan on our couch right before our zoom class thinking if the pans sits there with us during class, I'll remember to make the eggs. It worked.
