The Graduating Class of Northern Maine Community College announces its Commencement Exercises Saturday morning, the sixteenth of May Two thousand and fifteen at ten o’clock The Forum 84 Mechanic Street Presque Isle, Maine I need to insert here that our granddaughter Lydia (Heze’s sister) was graduating at exactly the same time – from York County Community College, […]
Friday evening, May 15 It was a beautiful, calm evening. There were several signs of beaver in the area. Heze baiting a hook. It was a bit cool in northern Maine, but it was perfectly calm. At first I thought this was a kayaker, but then we noticed that he was standing on a board. […]
Friday, May 15 It was a bit hazy when we left Mark and Diane’s house – shortly after 6:00 AM. Our destination was Northern Maine Community College where our grandson Hezekiah would be graduating with an Associate Degree in Diesel Hydraulics Technology on Saturday morning. New leaves were beginning to fill in the brown branches […]
Thursday, May 14 This is what the moon looked like when we left the house shortly after 5 AM. Thirty-five minutes later we were driving into the sunrise. It was a beautiful time of day to be snapping pictures. I took these in the order they are posted. Early morning traffic in New Jersey. This is […]
Tuesday Evening, May 12 These first two pictures are especially for the people who loaned us car seats for Reuben and Judi’s children – as they flew to Pennsylvania this time. Thanks Jon and Keri and Jakey and Crystal. The Creamery recently opened and is putting the tiny village of Clay – not far from our house […]
Monday, May 11 You may remember that our niece Judi and her husband, Reuben, were here for almost a month last winter as they began the process of adopting a little boy. They were back for a few days for a court date. It has been a “nerve-wracking” journey for them, and it is ongoing. […]
May 10 – Mother’s Day We visited her after the Lancaster Make-A-Wish Convoy so Ian was with us. Since Mother has been walking as far as possible when we go to the Café, Ian decided to follow her with the wheel chair. When she was ready for the wheel chair, he pushed her and Cerwin pushed her […]
Sunday, May 10 I know – Mother’s Day was a couple of weeks ago. I am still catching up with myself in my large file of pictures. Cerwin gave me these pretty flowers a few days before Mother’s Day. Jeff brought me flowers on Saturday morning. These begonias will be planted in our patio flower bed. I like […]
I sent this to the TFC staff and our family today, so I thought I would post it here as well. ~~~ As I finished mailing TFC’s Prayer Calendar today, I thought, “This is the first time since early April – before we left for Pass Lake – that I had a bulk mailing go smoothly.” April 21 […]
We love you! Grandpa & Grandma

Sunday, May 10 The convoy began promptly at 1:30 PM. Because they exit Burle Business Park to Route 30 West, the trucks go right by the chapel, giving us a good view of those that leave early. Waiting for their turn to leave the parking lot next to me – on the passenger side of the […]
Sunday Morning, May 10 It’s almost 11:00 AM – time for the second chapel service. Chaplain Jake’s wife, Jane, leading singing. Jake sharing the devotional. Outside the chapel following the service.

Sunday Morning, May 10 Entering Burle Business Park where the trucks meet for this convoy. Ian helping Grandpa set up the steps to the chapel. (It was his turn to go with us this year.) After the chapel was set up, we walked around a bit to see trucks and look for Ian’s brother Josh and […]
I don’t know what this flower is, but it was blooming at the Middle School when we went there for a concert the other week. (Our friend Sam Rittenhouse tells me this is a viburnum – either a Carlisi or Marlisi.) I can tell when our Lily of the Valley is blooming – even before I see […]
