TFC’s Chapel at Gerhart’s Truck Show
Friday, October 6 and Saturday, October 7 Photos by Cerwin – using his cell phone. Our son-in-law Roy stopped it to see the trucks that had arrived by Friday afternoon. He especially liked this large pickup. I did not attend this show – other than take Cerwin there on Saturday morning. This show is not […]
Supper with Jordan
Wednesday, October 4 This meal was a gift to Jordan for his 2017 birthday – which was in August. I like to take at least one posed picture of our grandchildren per year – for their birthdays and for my refrigerator. It was a nice evening and he was at our house early – so […]
Empty Cornfields
Monday, October 2 Like I said in the previous post – this was the corn’s last stand. I heard the harvesting equipment about mid-morning. Not everything hits the truck when they go around a corner. 🙂 The birds and nighttime animals appreciate the extra food. By 5 pm they were working in the field below […]
The Corn Field’s Last Stand
Sunday Evening, October 1 During the day I learned that this was the last day the corn would be standing in the fields around our house. Consequently I took pictures of its last stand. As I took these pictures, I knew there would be the sound of big equipment in the morning – and the […]
Sauder Reunion

Uncle Amos was there and can just barely be seen on his wheelchair in the center of the picture. Time to eat […]
Gifts Come in a Variety of Ways
Friday, September 29 We received this beautiful gift from friends (you know who you are) a few weeks before it bloomed. I thought they may like to see it in bloom. Thanks to our son Jeff (left) for trimming a few trees along the driveway below our yard. When I see pretty flowers and butterflies […]
Happy Birthday to Our Favorite Jeff
We love you! Daddy and Mother
Traveling to Elk County ~ Part 2
Tuesday, September 26 After the large bull elk sighting, (previous post) we drove over several back-country roads and saw a variety of elk grazing in yards and fields before going to the Visitors Center. Marlin, Chelsey, and Nancy walking toward the viewing area at the Visitors Center. We knew there was going to be some […]
Traveling to Elk County ~ Part 1
Tuesday, September 26 My sister and brother-in-law told us earlier in the summer that they wanted to take us to Elk County when the elk were in rut. That is something we always wanted to do, but just never took time to do it, plus we didn’t know the area. Marlin knows every road. Marlin […]
Sam Rittenhouse’s Garden & Orchard ~ Family Worship Center
Sunday, September 24 I love when a TFC ministry activity takes us to the Lansdale area and we get to stay at Sam Rittenhouse’s house for a night. He is an accomplished orchard keeper and gardener. This is one of the first things I saw as I stepped out of his kitchen door. The end […]
TFC – Bucks-Montgomery’s Truck-Cycle-Car Show and Banquet
Saturday, September 23 Because Biker’s Sunday and this event were just one week apart, Cerwin kept the International Chapel at a friend’s house. I followed it from the Clemmer’s house in Lansdale to Family Heritage Banquet and Conference Center in Franconia. There were some good-looking vehicles. We had lots of visitors on the chapel. Including […]
Quilts – Brethren Disaster Relief Auction

The featured quilt drew lots of attention. Arriving quilts were received behind the featured quilt. The following are just a sample of the […]

Auction Items at Brethren Disaster Relief Auction

It is a great place to visit with friends – especially those you only see once a year – at this auction. Some items sell at the Friday evening auction, others sell on […]
Happy Birthday to Our Favorite Hannah
We love you! Grandpa & Grandma High

Notice the orange donation bucket? I like how they advertise that it is a donation bucket. Continuing on the right is the Children’s […]
