HANDMADE ITEMS FROM THE FAIR

With the virus and my still being without a car, I am glad I saved the fair pictures to put on here.  There will be no fair this year.

AMIISH BUGGY

Amish buggy that I took pictures of.

SILOS

On the back roads, I found these.  I think one is one I had before. 

CORN, CORN, AND MORE CORN

These corn pictures were taken at a couple of farms, but I guess corn looks the same on post farms.

P,S,
Thank  you for your prayers.  I am still trying to figure what to do.  I know the type car I wanted, but I think it is out of my price  range.  The second car I liked, doesn't come with a good report.  So still trying to figure more.  I don't have a car so I am limited to where I can get pictures.

MARILYN SPEAKS

I have a request for prayers this morning.  My car has been in and out of the garage  for this and that  and I finally got everything repaired and the garage paid.  Well, the day before yesterday the steering motor went out and it will cost $2000. to fix it and I don't have the money and also do I want to put all the money in the car anyway.

I ask for prayer for God's wisdom to give me the wisdom to know what to do.  If it is to be repaired, the money to do so.  If it's to trade it in, to know the correct car to buy.  I own ten months on this car.

Thank you,
God's Blessings to you all.
Marilyn

AMISH LADY WASHING WINDOWS

Top pictures of a Amish Lady washing the windows of her house. Wish I could get her to do my windows.  The second picture is of her silo and part of her barn.

FARMER'S MARKET

Went to the Farmer's Market in Lyons, New York.  There were no where near the number of people selling that there usually are.  Very few were selling fruits and vegetables. 

JEAN'S POST - MICHAEL'S GOING IN BUSINESS

Elmer and Anna are back from their going away.  Now, they are catching up with some of the things they didn't get done before they left.

We didn't know that Elmer left Michael in charge of all the outside painting, siding and roofing while he was gone.  Michael was at all the jobs and working so we thought that Elmer had left someone else in charge like he usually did.  Not this time.  We were very happy that he had the job.  Just to make sure, David, drove the buggy by a couple of times and things were going well.

Michael had more jobs than workers, so he asked Clarence to help him.  It was great to find out that Clarence had done this type of work before in another Foster Home.  He surprised us.  Michael said Clarence is a hard worker and very careful in what he does.

A few days after Elmer came back,  we had Elmer and Anna over to dinner at our house.  Elmer had told us to make sure Michael was there because he wanted to talk him.  So after dinner, Elmer and Michael sat down in the living.  David and I were there. 

Elmer told Michael, it was time he went into his own business.  He said he had excellent compliments on the work he had done.  One job Michael had to get a crew and travel a few counties over to do a job and it was done.  At times Elmer would have to call Michael and times Michael would have to call him, but it was time that Michael started getting ready to go on his own.

Michael was in shock..  He thought Elmer was getting rid of him.  Didn't want to work with him any longer.  Elmer said none of that was true.  Michael had worked for him for many years - started at the bottom and worked his way up.  There was nothing more that Elmer could teach him.  With Michael going with a lady, he will have to provide for the future - when Michael marries - whether it was this lady or another. 

Michael worked on farm machinery, and this kind of work would be a living.  If he wanted to have a small farm, that would be fine, too.  The more trades he knew the better and there are enough people around who need the kind of work they do that it should supply them both with work.  Also, the day will come when Elmer will have to give something up.  He's getting older.  Now with church work, farming and all the siding, etc he is working all the time. 

So if Michael goes into his business, Elmer would refer some of his customers to Michael.  When Elmer decides to give this up, he might want to come and work for Michael now and then - when he was getting on Anna's nerves. 

Michael asked if one of Elmer's children would want it and Elmer said no.  They didn't mind coming and helping now and then, but not to work as much as he did.  Elmer said, also, keep Clarence with the crew, he does great work too.

Michael didn't know what to say.  He thanked Elmer.  Elmer said I am not giving you a job you will have to build it. Michael needs to get all the tools, supplies, people to work the crew, and more.  Elmer said he would help him.  Elmer also said this is on and off job.  You don't get much business in the winter, but the other three seasons should keep you going. Elmer added that Michael was young and could handle the work, but Elmer is getting older and getting near time to retire one thing.

So Michael is starting to get tools and supplies and crew.  He has a pick-up, but he needs one with a back sheet so he can take his crew from job to job.  So that is out new news.

Clarence is trying to decide his nickname.  A friend of a friend of ours is named Clarence.  He told our Clarence that you have to think of the future.  Friends may tease you on names now, but you have to think of what you want to be called twenty or thirty years from now.  He suggested that Clarence go by either Chance or what he goes by Clance.

Clarence was so surprised Elmer said good words about him regarding working with Michael.  Clarence  enjoys that kind of work with Michael. 

Be With God,
Jean 

BARNS

Went out this weekend and got some pictures.  Here are some barns, I saw along the way.

I am sorry, I didn't have posts on all of last week.  Pierre was sick.  I had never seen a dog as ill as he was,  Couldn't keep anything down.  Was really sick to his stomach and we couldn't stop it.  Finally, he is feeling better.  I was so worried.

MARILYN ASKS FOR PRAYERS

I have been having problems on and off with my car, but I got them all done and paid.  Now the power steering went out in my car and it is going to cost $2,000. to fix it.  I don't have that kind of money and if I did, I still don't want to put that kind of money in my car.  I still own ten months on the car.

I am asking for prayer that I know God's wisdom on what I should do.  Been looking at cars and they are out of my budget.  I don't know what I should do.  If I should find the correct car to know God's will in the matter.

Thank you all,
God's Blessing,
Marilyn

CANANDAIGUA LAKE HOTEL GOING UP - FINALLY !!

I had shots of this building sitting there for years, with just the frame - well it is going up.  I think they are going to have apartments and hotel rooms in it.  After all these years, it is finally going up.

MARILYN SAYS

Over the last three years, I have had to have operations.  Today was review day at the doctor's to see how things were going.  I took my friend Helene with me.  Well, Praise God, all my tests came back with great results.  There are no problems.  I just wanted to share this with you.  Have to go back to the doctor in three months for review again.

Hope everyone has a great weekend.
