Nothing like friends

Friends from long ago

Friends to laugh with

Friends who take it slow

Friends who know us well

Friends who love to tell

Stories fun – that swell

To new heights … no one fell

No, we all survived

The great elaborations

Remembrances exaggerated

Enhancing celebrations

This occasion yesterday will long be remembered with enormous joy

Congratulations to our grandson

Who popped the question true –

“Will you marry me, Natalia?

I will always love you!”

Congratulations, Chrissy. We wish you & Natalia a lifetime of marriage bliss. Take it from your parents & grandparents: marriage is a forever promise. God bless you. Be friends as well as lovers!

Friends, friends, friends

Bringing love and laughter

Growing dearer every year

Spreading joy forever after!

Hugs from JanBeek

Mmmm

September 13, 2026

Chef John at the Continental Divide here in Ennis, MT is a master!

Meantime our daughter, DeAna, in Switzerland, was enjoying some yummies at her choir party. And…

… our daughter, Laina, was enjoying the opportunity to celebrate her grandson’s first birthday with a trip and yummy food and fun rides In DisneyWorld.

Happy Birthday, Leo! Winnie the Pooh is a favorite Disney character for many of us.

Kenny wishes Leo a Happy 1st birthday while he celebrates his 2nd! Yum!!

What “Yum” have you experienced recently? Tell me about it!

Live, Love, and Enjoy all the mmmm you can!

Hugs,

JanBeek

Change

September 10, 2026

“Change is a powerful, sacred force… The transitioning landscape is a testament to the Creator’s steady hand in a chaotic world.” (A quote from today’s devotional in These Days)

The snow capped mountains soon give way to barren mountain tops … but each season has a beauty of its own.

“The environment is a living sanctuary…”

In sunshine or rain, give thanks for the natural world’s beauty.

“The psalmists frequently personify the natural world, giving mountains, forests and seas anthropomorphic attributes…”

The hills were singing 🎵

The Lord reminds us we are new every morning! Embrace change!

Happy Autumn to you, my friends. Embrace the day. May the majesty of the natural world remind us all that God is in control. Breathe deeply in the holy refuge of creation.

Love, JanBeek

Talkative Boston

September 9, 2026

If your pet could talk, what would be the first thing it says?

Karen Kelly posts the cutest Boston Terrier images!

Our Kenny looks very much like this Boston. And at 2 years of age he still is very much a puppy! Even though he has calmed down some, his energy level still creates a challenge at times.

Occasionally you can see him resting on his favorite blanket, but usually he is up and about looking for mischief!

What would his first words be? “Tummy rub!!”

How about your pet? What would the first words be? Kenny’s other “first words” would be: LET’S PLAY!

Hugs,

JanBeek

Gorgeous Airport

September 7, 2026

What’s the best and worst airport you’ve been to?

Bozeman’s Gallatin Yellowstone Airport is the prettiest airport I’ve ever seen. I wish there were more direct flights from here to the places I want to go!

What’s the best one you’ve flown in or out of?

We’re headed to Switzerland to spend time with our daughter & her family next month. Our great-grandson’s celebrating his 2nd birthday. I wish there was a direct flight to Geneva!!

Where would you like to go on your next flight?

Love ya,

JanBeek

Today at Church

September 6, 2026

I filled in at the pulpit today. Our church is in transition as we search for a new pastor, so we’re passing the leadership role around. Wanna tune in to my message for today?

https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1BntyBrTe8/?mibextid=wwXIfr

I hope that link works for you.

Have a blessed Sunday night, a Happy Labor Day and a great week! I’ll talk to you later.

Love,

JanBeek
