Pinecraft-Sarasota

Landscaping

Digging up the old trees and selling them for a bargain and planting new trees with the help of Mervin Yoder.

Abe With Abe

(I think this is Abe Raber with Abe Mast.)

The Joke of the Day

The Squirrel's Plea

"Please, may I have a peanut? I know it is not suppertime, but I would love to have a peanut."

I wouldn't answer the squirrel's plea, so she came down from hoe post and circled me a few times, all in vain.

Christmas Lights

Tonight was spend at Bob & Kendra Cross' home.

After a time of food and fellowship, we climbed into two vehicles and took a tour of I don't know where, to a neighborhood loaded and decorated with Christmas Lights. We went north on Honore Avenue until after the third round-about, then turned left. I got a few good photos as a sample of much more beauty.

Spinning Tops

Henry Detweiler from Pinecraft makes and sells these Tops for $20.00 each.

Grandma Iva

This photo is at the Amish Church, where the Scat Bus stops to pick and drop off passengers going to and from Siesta Beach. Menno Bontrager is in the background. I don't know who the girls are.
