Rest in the Lord and be willing to wait for Him. Psalm 37:7 (NLV)
Tuesday, July 18 Following our ride on the dinner car, we checked the children’s activities. Anthony and Abigail went on this ride. Jesse was on a cranky car, so waited for a later ride on the pint-sized pufferbelly. This ride is powered by hands and arms. If there is nobody in line, children can go […]
Tuesday, July 18 An engineer bringing a train into the station Waiting for our train. Abby, Anthony, and Jesse. We and Abby chose Strasburg Railroad for Anthony’s birthday because of his love of trains. Jesse got to go along because he was at our house. Also, he and Anthony are good friends. They loved that […]

Monday, July 17 I wish I knew mushrooms – if they are edible or not. These two were beautiful. Because I haven’t studied them, I only eat mushroom from a store.
Sunday, July 16 The first thing we did – after prayer – was sing to the birthday girls – Kylee & Heidi. Both birthdays were on the day of the reunion – Kylee is now two and Heidi is 8. The cousins are granddaughters of my sister, Nancy, and her husband, Marlin. There was lots […]

July 12 The scene as we arrived at church on the Wednesday evening of Bible school. I took a few more pictures in the hallways – that I missed the night before. Pictures of the sanctuary from the balcony – that I missed the night before. Teachers and students entering the narthex to go to […]
Tuesday, July 11 Operation Arctic – Exploring the Coolest Book on the Planet. It was interesting to see the exterior to this room – our usual Sunday school room. We arrived early, so I walked around the hallway on the first level – I did not go to the basement rooms. Rooms and door entrances […]
Tuesday, July 11 I know I took pictures at the High Reunion on Sunday, July 9 – but they are nowhere to be found, so I must have accidentally deleted them. 🙁 Consequently I am moving on to photos from Kids’ Days. An Esbenshade’s employee welcomed us to the event. When I received the email […]
Saturday, July 8 Beauty outside our motel in Berlin I was glad that our GPS took us over country roads as we headed toward the interstate. We see wheat shocks on occasion in our area, but not like in Ohio. Love seeing Queen Anne’s Lace I was almost sad to leave this beautiful Amish country. […]

Friday, July 7 We had seen this advertisement in previous years when we were in Ohio for TFC’s Truck Rally, but always had other things to see. This year we decided to stop. One of the first things I noticed was goats on the roof of the barn – and wondered how they got there? […]
Friday Morning, July 7 We had just gotten on the road when Cerwin’s hearing aide beeped, so we went back to the motel. He forgot to bring extra batteries along in the car. We had rain during the night so it was a rather wet, but beautiful morning. While Cerwin went back to our room […]
Thursday, July 6 We had a relaxing, uneventful drive from our house to Berlin, Ohio – with the exception of some rain between 9:30 and 10:45 am. It was a good day to begin a novel that I had downloaded onto my Nook – probably two years ago. It has been a long time since […]
