Rest in the Lord and be willing to wait for Him. Psalm 37:7 (NLV)
We brought TFC’s Mobile Chapel to Bucks Montgomery’s Truck Show and Dinner Concert yesterday, planning to stay on the chapel overnight because it is usually 10 pm before we can close the chapel and we have a two-hour drive home. More than that because of taking the chapel to the Marietta Office, then getting in […]
Sunday, September 16 Following a delicious breakfast at our friend Sam Rittenhouse’s house and a walk through his orchard (I will post those pictures tomorrow), we went to Line Lexington Mennonite Church where many bikers had already gathered. Three nitro bikes were lined up for the call to worship. Pre-Service – Music by Mike Souder […]
Saturday, September 15 We traveled to Sam Rittenhouse’s house, unloaded our overnight luggage, enjoyed supper at a nearby restaurant, then went to Line Lexington Mennonite Church for the bluegrass concert under the tent in the church yard. We usually have a TFC chapel here, but due to a lot of rain in past weeks, it […]
Friday Evening, September 14 Cerwin and I chose a restaurant where we rarely go to eat – Greenfield Restaurant, Lancaster, PA. After making the choice, we thought, “We don’t have to eat alone, because we are usually alone.” It is not quite like when we had young children and needed an evening out alone, so […]
Wednesday, September 26 We visited Josiah yesterday (Wednesday) a few hours after he had surgery to debride (remove dead skin on his right leg).

Sunday, September 23 Josiah was in his reclining chair when we arrived – about 12:30 pm on Sunday, but was ready to be moved back to his bed. I think he had been in the chair about three hours. In this photo the nurses were putting the “harness” in position to move him. “Ouch”, he […]
The other week when Cerwin and I were out for lunch with Diane, we began discussing defrosting our old freezer. Then he surprised me by saying, “Or would you rather get a new self-defrosting freezer?” Of course I chose a new freezer. 🙂 We stopped by the house to drop off some groceries, then went […]
We love you! Daddy and Mother
Friday, September 7 Jere and Cerwin went to Baltimore Airport to pick up the box of trophies from their African hunt in early March. Josh was on his way home from work, so we waited for him to help unload the box. There was some interesting paperwork from South Africa. Everything was well packed and […]
Thursday, September 6 Great-Grandpa and Anthony playing with a Tinker Toy type set. For some reason Anthony decided to put the mesh storage bag on his head while he played. We could tell that he was familiar with the road flooding that happened a week earlier because he built a “stop sign” with these and […]
Tuesday, September 4 The driver is Ian – after receiving his “hot-of-the-press” permit. Thirteen out of sixteen grandchildren are now driving. We were honored that this was his first stop after leaving their house. I told Jere that he can look nervous and pretend to be chewing his fingernails. Jere just smiled and said he […]
Thursday Evening, September 20 We are finally getting used to the layout of the Reading Hospital and finding the best parking lot and entrance for the shortest way to Josiah’s room on the fifth floor of the T Building. We waited until evening for our visit yesterday due to some TFC responsibilities, but mostly because […]

I took advantage of the beautiful surroundings to get an updated photo of Mark and Diane. Also Hannah At first I thought this was a seal or other sea critter, but […]
We had a good visit with Josiah yesterday at Reading Hospital. He continues to heal from his injuries and surgeries – with more surgery ahead of him. We appreciate your continued prayers. We understand that his damaged leg and femur were repaired with Monday’s surgery. He faces more surgery to fix his broken wrist and […]
Sunday Afternoon, September 2 After arriving, we walked to the welcome center – a small building to the right of the house – for orientation. Here we learned about the life of Admiral Robert E. Peary and his family. Rear Admiral Robert Edwin Peary Sr. (May 6, 1856 – February 20, 1920) was an American […]
