Unveiled Faces...

And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the Lord's glory, 

are being transformed into his likeness 
with ever-increasing glory, 
which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.

II Corinthians 3:18

A Country Courtyard...

The antique mall where I sell is situated on the grounds 

of an old farm.  Thought you'd enjoy some scenes 

from this homestead as it looks 'today'.  

The entrance passes through the corn crib...

 

 

the antique mall is in the barn...

 

 the gift shop is in the old pig barn...

 and the courtyard was once the old barn yard...

 

 

  

(I'm trying to make my picutres a bit bigger 

and they look a bit blurry to me - 

hmmm....)

Aren't I blessed to be able to enjoy such lovely surroundings 

on a regular basis? 

Come visit us at Ziegler's in the Country the next time you are in the Hershey, PA area!

Cinnamon Buttermilk Coffee Cake...

This week I made the most delicious coffee cake.  I used 

gluten free flours in mine - and it was so good you couldn't 

even tell it wasn't regular wheat flour...

 Cinnamon Buttermilk Coffee Cake

                   2 c. flour                               1 t. cinnamon

                   2 c. brown sugar                   1 egg

                   1/2 c. butter                          1 c. buttermilk

                   1/3 c. flour                            1/2 c. chopped nuts 

                   1 t. baking soda

Cut butter into 2 c. flour and brown sugar till it resembles course meal.  Set aside 3/4 c. of this mixture for topping.  To remaining flour mixture add 1/3 c. flour and dry ingreds.  Mix well and add 

egg and buttermilk.  Mix just till dry ingred. are moistened.  Pour into greased 9" square pan.  Mix the 3/4 c. mixture and the nuts.  Sprinkle over top.  Bake at 350 degrees for 35-40 min.  

Cool in pan and cut.

My thrifty variations:  for the buttermilk, I used milk that had gone 'bad' in my fridge.

I only had 1 1/2 c. brown sugar - so used gran. sugar for the last 1/2 c.

Almonds were the only nuts I had on hand - so that's what I used.

Thrifty Garden Path...

Our side flower garden has had a red pebble path for years.  

But it was not looking so good.  Our fix - 'on-the-cheap' - 

was to lay a heavy layer of playground mulch...

Total cost - approx. $25.  And did I mention - my daughter picked up the mulch, reweeded the path and laid the whole thing for us?  Love that girl!!

Here's the before...

Camp Meeting...

Yesterday we went to hear my brother preach.  He lives in Costa Rica but was in our area ministering as part of  Kingdom Fellowship Weekend.  We had an amazing time worshiping with these brothers and sisters in Christ.  Services were held on the grounds of an old campmeeting from 1876 which still retains much of its original character.  I had a good time with my camera.

The Cottages...

 

 

 

And the Tabernacle - complete with old theater chairs...

 

 

 

Reminded us a bit of our beloved Mt. Gretna...

A glorious morning indeed!
