Rest in the Lord and be willing to wait for Him. Psalm 37:7 (NLV)
Tuesday Afternoon, July 14 Unless you are from this area, Lititz looks like a strange name for a town. It is pronounced Lit – its. Lititz was founded by members of the Moravian Church in 1756 and was named after a castle in Bohemia near the village of Kunvald. In 2013 Lititz was name America’s Coolest Small […]
Monday Afternoon, July 13 After leaving Great-grandma Hershey’s house, we went to Landis Homes to see Great-grandma High. Heading toward her room. We took Great-grandma for a walk to see the ducks, swans, and peafowl. There was a visitor to the pond – a great blue heron. I was pleased that it did not seem […]
Thursday, July 30 The newest TFC chapel is on its way to Florida – from Marietta, Pennsylvania. Cerwin took this picture yesterday after pulling it out of TFC’s shop. Pray for Cerwin and Glenn Fahnestock as they make this delivery – first to Tri County Baptist Church, Lady Lake, Florida, for their Missions Conference on Sunday, August […]
Monday, July 13 Our day began when I picked up Gloria, Jared, Jesse, Ian, and Jana – and their luggage – then went grocery shopping. After putting the groceries away, we picked up Diana at work and went to Manheim Twin Kiss for lunch (above). When we first began Cousin’s Week, there were usually ten or […]
Sunday Afternoon, July 12 Cerwin’s cousin John was grilling hamburgers and hot dogs when we arrived at High Sports for the lunchtime reunion. The pavilion is located in a pretty area next to the miniature golf course. Prayer before the meal. There is a tent next to the pavilion to give more space. I had […]
Saturday, July 11 We followed this interesting cycle for several miles… …then to our surprise, they turned into Mt. Hope Auction. This is a sampling of Saturday at the Ohio Truck Rally. If you want to see many more pictures, go to my Facebook album – https://www.facebook.com/doris.j.high/media_set?set=a.10153010420197322.1073741849.612697321&type=3¬if_t=like I asked for permission to photograph it. I think […]
Friday morning, July 10 We arrived at Mount Hope Auction just before 10 AM. Cerwin helped Jason Nussbaum and a volunteer set up a canopy where the grill was going to be placed. My job was to photograph the activities. That sounds like tough duty. 🙂 All Events Rental set up tables and chairs. Cerwin […]
Friday Morning, July 10 Enjoy the scenery as we slowly travel over country roads. I missed my dad. He would have enjoyed this drive. This horse was as interested in me as I was of it. Oh, I enjoyed that. I hope you did too. ~~~ Our next stop will be Mount Hope Auction where the Ohio Truck Rally […]
Friday Morning, July 10 We woke up to a warm, drizzly morning in Berlin, Ohio I walked one mile on the motel treadmill (while Cerwin watched the news in our room) before exploring the gardens and area around our motel. The outside entrance to our room. The patio area. Though the rain had stopped, many leaves and […]
Thursday, July 9 It was a beautiful, slightly hazy morning as we headed west. Tunnels are familiar to those who travel through the mountains on the Pennsylvania Turnpike. Because we’ve had lots of rain, foliage is lush and green. Trucks always get my prayerful attention. Breezewood was our first stop – for breakfast. This was the most attractive Bob […]
Saturday Evening, July 4 His birthday was a few days earlier, but this was the first date that worked for a party. Jesse and Grandpa Josh and Allie waiting for supper. Jesse’s choice for his birthday meal: sausage sandwiches, French bread, and buttered noodles. 🙂 Opening gifts. Ice cream cake Then we went outside to […]
Friday evening, July 3 Our three youngest grandchildren were here for the evening, and just before dark decided to catch lightening bugs (maybe you call them fireflies). If you look closely, you can see a few lightening bugs in these pictures. I gave them each a plastic, deli container. When they were finished, they opened […]
Thursday, July 2 Because I watched Amos cut down my brother’s large tree at the homestead last fall, I recommended that Cerwin call him. When he discussed the tree situation with my family a few weeks ago, Marlin, Nancy and Anne (who live in our same woodlot) mentioned that they would like an estimate on having him cut down some […]
Tuesday, June 30 and Wednesday, July 1 This is the only thing I bought at the Truck Rally Auction. Cerwin bought a few things, but this was my purchase. The pretty napkins and, plates, bowls, and plastic ware in the basket. Our granddaughter Lydia prepared the meal for us one day while I closed the books […]
Sunday, June 28 By Sunday morning, the sun was shining, but leftover rain drops from the day before were on each truck that was still on the grounds. The Browns were back for another delightful, inspiring Gospel concert. I love the Sunday morning worship session. It is always more relaxed than the day before. I always […]
Saturday Afternoon, June 27 This post should have been ahead of last night’s entry, but I guess it won’t matter if the last two entries are not in chronological order. 🙂 Jesse Rothacker with Forgotten Friends is a Truck Rally favorite – of the children and adults. Since Jere helped Jesse find his spot in […]
