Rest in the Lord and be willing to wait for Him. Psalm 37:7 (NLV)
Today ~ November 30 This morning as the sun was rising, I was saying goodbye to four special hunters. The Pennsylvania whitetail hunt opens tomorrow, and these hopeful hunters were on their way by 7:00 AM. This is the first hunt for Jana and Ian. Jere has been hunting for thirty-something years. I am not […]
Psalm 23:1
Friday, November 28 We had some errands to run today: Weaver’s Store (Fivepointville), Wal-Mart (Ephrata), and Landis Homes (Lititz) – including a short visit with Mother when there. In some areas there was still some snow and ice on the ground. As we neared Landis Homes, we noticed the Amish were building a new barn. It wasn’t […]
Jere and Kristen provided the place and most of the food. The turkey Josiah showing his Aunt Chris a location on the map. I think they may have been discussing some of the places he lived in the northwest during the past few months. Great-Grandpa and Anthony Pretty plates Attractive decorations Name tags designed by […]
Wednesday, November 26 I had two bulk mailings ready to take to the post office in Lititz, and did that first thing this morning (8 AM) so I would beat the snow. It began snowing as I was driving home. Nuthatch Male cardinals always look pretty in the snow. Females are pretty too, but not quite […]
Tuesday, November 25 Today I knew which entrance to use when visiting Mother in Oregon House at Landis Homes. I didn’t need the ambulance to show me which door to enter. 🙂 We like the sign that the nurses made for her – attached to the wardrobe in her room. Cerwin’s brother, Elvin, and sister Velda […]
Monday, November 24 Since this was the day we thought Mother might be discharged, we wanted someone with her most of the day. Velda worked until 3:00 PM, so I took the middle of the day shift – 11:00 AM until Velda arrived at 3:30 PM. Mother’s first visitor was Kristen from the pharmacy at Landis […]
I went to the hospital after church this morning – first stopping to say hi to Jeff (TFC’s Executive Vice President) on the fourth floor. He was doing a bit better than yesterday and anticipates surgery tomorrow to repair his broken leg. Remember from yesterday that I was hoping to see a helicopter on the pad […]
Yesterday, Friday, November 21 This was the day we planned to empty Mother High’s apartment in the independent living area of Landis Homes Retirement Community. We decided to continue with our plans even though we had very little sleep because of spending four hours in the ER with her during the night, where it was discovered […]
your faithfulness to the skies. Psalm 36:5 GOD’S WORD Translation (GW) It is rare that I wake up to the sun in my face. (I slept on my reclining chair between 5:30 and 7 AM.) It reminded me that no matter what happens during the night, the sun is faithful to rise in the morning. […]
On this day the sun made a dramatic entrance announcing the birth of a brand new day giving us hope for a day filled with love and joy and peace.
It’s that time of year again – when I have trouble staying away from our windows. Birds and animals are a great reminder of God’s care and love.
those who journey through life by the light of Your face. Psalm 89:15 The Voice (VOICE

Sunday, November 16 Roy and Deb were babysitting her cousin’s son Bryson for the weekend, and decided to join me and Mother High at Pleasant View Retirement Community for church. I chose to go to church with mother since it didn’t suit either Cerwin’s brother or sister – and Cerwin was in Kentucky hunting. After church we prepared to […]
Philippians 2:5 New International Version (NIV)

They only needed three days! 🙂 Jeff got his eight-point on the first day of the hunt. Cerwin was next – on the third evening. His is also an eight-point. Diana texted me about […]
