Locals Will Remember This Day ~ Tuesday, February 9
It was a beautiful snow day. Words are not necessary. Enjoy. The snow is gone, but it is good to be reminded of the beauty.
Month: February 2016
Thanks to the Staff at Landis Homes
Friday, February 26 When we went back to Landis Homes on Friday morning to remove Mother’s belongings, we saw this beautiful memorial – outside her door. Cerwin and his sister, Velda, with Mother’s cartfull of personal items. Elvin removed a few things the day before – the clock and TV belong to his family. ~~~ There are not enough words in the […]
Great American Outdoor Show – Part 2 of 2
Monday, February 8 After the falconry program in the Small Arena, Cerwin joined me for the Archery Show by Chris Brackett Breaking a balloon I’m not sure what he was hitting here, but he shot small balls and Lifesavers. A taxidermist’s display I wanted Cerwin to see the dog competition. This time the show was competition […]

At this point, her obituary is only on Buch Funeral Home listing. He suggested that we wait until Monday to make it public so people know it is next weekend and not this weekend. To see it, go to the link below. http://www.buchfuneral.com/obituaries/obituary-listings?obId=795075#/obituaryInfo
Great American Outdoor Show – Part 1 of 2
Monday, February 8 I don’t derive great joy in going to where there are great crowds of people, but Cerwin, Jeff, Jordan, Donovan, Diana, and Gloria were going – and it was my birthday. What I do enjoy is watching activities that are going on in the Large and Small Arenas while the others are visiting […]
My Last Day With Mother High
It doesn’t seem quite right to do a normal post tonight, so I will tell you a bit about my mother-in-law – especially my last day and a half with her. I met her fifty-five years ago when I was 17 and she was 43. That is when I first began dating her oldest son. (This picture of her and Daddy […]
Mother Went Home Today

A Beautiful, Ordinary Kind Of Day
Saturday, February 6 I love the quietness and beauty of a mid-winter Saturday. As we went on our daily drive to Landis Homes to see Cerwin’s mother, we noticed an Amish farmer spreading manure. I may be a bit strange, but I enjoy the beauty of naked trees in midwinter. The artist P. Buckley Moss […]

Lessons On God From Ordinary Birds
One of my favorite thoughts on ordinary – or bad days – days when I feel ignored or taken for granted – is that I am never ignored by God. Ordinary sparrows and finches often remind me of God’s love and concern for me. I don’t think I have ever met a person who doesn’t have days […]

Update On Cerwin’s Mother
Mother High seems to be getting weaker by the day. Today Cerwin asked if she is dreaming about Heaven these days. Her voice is now very weak, so we leaned in close to hear her say, “A lot.” He asked if she can describe Heaven. She said, “It’s difficult to describe, but it’s BEAUTIFUL.” We […]

Sportsmen’s Dinner & Expo
Saturday Evening, January 30 Cerwin was intrigued by these ground blinds. It appears that they are made to house a small heater – because of the small “chimneys.” Cerwin’s is a bit more portable than these. I enjoy visiting the vendors at these events. Carvings fascinate me. These are amazing works of art. More beautiful artwork […]
