It was a cool, crisp, fall morning, so I waited until noon when the temperature was warmer before working in a flowerbed. The only sound I heard was a tractor in a nearby field as the soil was prepared for a winter crop. Quiet, with only the sound of a tractor is a delightful way […]
We are blessed that God placed you in our family. Love Grandpa and Grandma High
It is a beautiful fall day here and as I was thinking about what to post, I decided to examine the dry soybean field across the yard from our yard. The field that was once lush with green leaves is now dry and soon ready for harvest. The leaves are dry and gone, leaving only […]
Friday evening, October 2 We had a great time with Jere and Kristen at Texas Roadhouse, Ephrata, for their 2026 birthday meal. I say this almost every time, but I love having time one on one (or two on two) time with our children. We usually go to this restaurant between 3:30 and 4:00 pm, […]
Last Sunday (September 27) when I went to the Harvest Table in our church’s fellowship hall, I was pleased to see several lily bulbs. I picked up two – along with the directions for planting. This was the day we decided to plant them in the flower bed in the middle of our driveway. Cerwin […]
Wednesday Evening, September 30 We enjoyed having Nate and Lauree’s family here for Nate’s birthday supper from Two Cousin’s Restaurant. I was so disappointed to discover that I did not remember to take pictures. Nate had a sub, Lauree and I had salads, Cerwin a cheesesteak and the girls shared a ham and cheese stromboli. […]
Sunday Evening, September 27 Birthday twins – Jere is a great uncle to Haven. They share birthdays – age 57 and age 1. Haven’s mom, Nicole, created a delicious meal at the Farm Show Building in Manheim. We enjoyed a buffet-style meal of baked potatoes with all the trimmings, including chili con carne, and a […]
September 27 It is not unusual for us to see an Amish buggy or two on a Sunday morning, but when there were 7 or 8, we knew that church was at our closest neighbors on Mountain Road. All the others came from the west so did not need to go by our house. Notice […]
Monday Morning, September 28 We were supposed to check in by 9:10 this morning – and we did. There was no bed available, so I started in a comfortable chair. The black dot above my right eye was to indicate the eye that was going to experience surgery. My next move was to the hospital […]
Friday evening, September 25 It was a beautiful evening, so we decided to go to the Lebanon Expo for supper and to see all the items at Brethren Disaster Relief Auction. The Children’s Store This is where children can buy items at very reasonable prices. A few interesting and pretty quilts at the Quilt Auction […]
Yesterday was a nice day, so I walked around the yard to see what was blooming or interesting. Since the dogwood leaves are dying the red berries (drupes) are showing brightly. Birds and small mammals notice the pretty red berries, eat them, and eventually spread the seeds. The Stone Crop is beautiful in its delicate […]
Following a delicious meal at Shady Maple Banquet Center, we heard a bit of comedy from this speaker who is a fabulous storyteller. There were also several comments from Potter’s House staff and board members. Next there were a series of testimonies from those going through the program at Potter’s House – a place where […]
