Groundhog Day is upon us again and Punxsutawney Phil predicted a lingering winter for 2022. Whether you believe weather reports from a rodent’s shadow are bonafide or not, my thoughts always turn toward Spring in this first week of February. And while I might be...
Most Pennsylvania homeowners remember when Calvary Fellowship Church’s roof collapsed in 2016. The five feet of snow on the roof became too much for it to bear, and the roof was destroyed. Thankfully, no one was hurt! Or in more recent news, in June of 2020 high winds...

Back in October, our business Christmas cards arrived from the printer. Our five year old daughter, Trina, designed the front art this year: a smiling Christmas tree with bright red garland, a yellow star, and...eyelashes. She was so excited to open the box. It was...
