Rest in the Lord and be willing to wait for Him. Psalm 37:7 (NLV)
Yesterday we celebrated Ian’s birthday (which was the day before) by taking them to Tosco Pizza in Myerstown. We enjoyed catching up on their lives and learning more about them. It blesses my life to sit and talk with grandchildren. Cerwin and Nicole had stromboli, Ian’s choice was a deep-dish cheese pizza, and I had […]
Late summer fog.
Chesapeake City, Maryland, Friday, August 28 This is one of our favorite places to eat on a warm summer day, so we talked Roy and Deb into going with us for her birthday. That isn’t very difficult because it is also one of their favorite restaurants. We have a one-hour drive to their house, then […]
We love you and are blessed that God placed you in our family. Love Grandpa and Grandma High
We didn’t expect this add-on to our yard, but last night we had a thunderstorm with a bit of wind, but for us there was more rain – like 2 1/2 inches. Our newly sown grass area had “rivers” in it. 🙁 Cerwin called Dave of Hershey Landscaping. He said, “I am 30 seconds from […]
Late yesterday afternoon our pest control person called to ask if he could come today. We said, yes that works. We have him on schedule for each spring and fall to make sure we don’t have to deal with termites, carpenter bees, ants, and any other bugs that like to live in our woodlot and […]

Tuesday, August 25 After having two trees and many stumps removed from our yard last week, we called Dave from Hershey Landscaping and told him of our need to have the stump areas filled with topsoil, leveled, and seeded with grass. They showed up shortly after noon yesterday and began by taking this machine over […]
This is not a picture from our first date, but from sometime later. I remember being excited for our first date, because he was not someone I knew. I had seen him at events, but don’t remember ever talking to him before he came to the house to ask me for a date. Little did […]
It’s fun seeing the hummingbirds more frequently than usual, but when it is the end of August, I know they are eating extra before they head south for the winter and won’t be back until next May. According to the Internet they increase their food intake by entering a feeding frenzy called hyperphagia – often […]
Friday Evening, August 21 When we first met each other in this group, we were all young people in our high teens. The guys usually met at a local business on Saturday and Sunday evenings to decide what was going on and where to go for the evening. Youth For Christ was a popular choice […]
I kept thinking, “My Dad, Grandpa, and a few Grandpa’s before that would not believe this is happening on their farm.” My niece Karen (who lives on the homestead) knows I love special photo opportunities, and called shortly after 9 am on Friday to tell me I may want to watch the drone that will […]
August 18-20, 2026 In our attempt to make our yard easier to care for, we had 21 tree stumps removed. These two bugged us the most because they were close to the road where everyone could see them. There were a few stumps from when we cut down a dead tree before construction of our […]
I dislike when we have to cut down trees on our property, but these two are fairly close to the northside of our house – next to the garage – and we were concerned about the possibility of them or large branches coming down on our house during the two severe storms we had during […]
Some are skinny and scrawny others are full and fluffy. 🙂
