Ladies Brunch at Our Church
Saturday Morning, February 17 This is what each of us saw as we entered the fellowship hall last Saturday morning. The committee did a fabulous job of creating a beautiful atmosphere and preparing delicious food. Emily Jess Erma The theme for this brunch was “Anchors When Life is Senseless.” Food prep in the kitchen – […]
Valentine’s Day
Wednesday, February 14 After breakfast I gave the boys the card and candy – from their parents – who were on a business trip to New Zealand. After they left for school, I divided the peanut butter cups into three equal baggies with their names on them – so they each received the same amount […]
Be Still My Heart
Tuesday, February 13 Spring is coming! It is difficult for tulips and crocus to resist the pull of the warm sun – even on cold, late winter days.
Highway News for March
Tuesday Evening, February 13 When Inge brought the March Highway News to our place, I asked Jared and Jesse to help her bring them in the garage. Can you guess who loaded Jesse’s arms with magazines? I think Jared would have tried giving him another bundle or two if I had allowed it. 🙂 Today […]
Marcy, Cookie and Me
Tuesday February 13 Cookie (Emma Jean by birth) and I had a delightful drive to Marcy’s house – where we were invited for lunch – to celebrate our February birthdays. I arrived at Cookie’s place early, and set my GPS for Marcy’s house, because I wasn’t sure of the shortest way from her area. It […]
High’s At Our House for Lunch
Sunday, February 11 When we heard that Reuben, Judi, and their family were visiting from Wisconsin, we knew that we needed to have another family get-together. 🙂 Because there are always last minute things to do before lunch, we came home after Sunday school and listened to the church service by cell phone. Since the […]

We love you! Grandpa and Grandma High
Lunch at E-Town Noodles
Friday, February 9 Following our pedicure and manicure pampering, Deb and I met Lydia at E-Town Noodles. We chose this restaurant because we were hoping to meet Deb’s former manicurist/pedicurist – who owned this restaurant. However, he sold it a week ago. 🙁 We were not disappointed with the new owner – who took this […]
Being Pampered
Friday, February 9 I make it a habit to plan a manicure/pedicure for my birthday – and schedule it to work for our daughter Deb. (Since she lives an hour away, we don’t see each other as often as I see the other Pennsylvania daughters-in-love and granddaughters.) After we chose a date, I invited the […]
A Day of Feeling Blessed
Thursday, February 8 – My 74th Birthday Following a stop at TFC’s International Office, Cerwin took me to Gus’s for lunch. I got a cup of mushroom soup – delicious. Cerwin got chili – and we shared a BLT. Shortly after we got home from an afternoon appointment, this box arrived in our garage. It […]
An Icy Day
Wednesday, February 7 It was the kind of day that closed area schools. Snow plows were busy scraping ice from the roads.
Grandchildren in the House
February 4-9 What fun to have these five grandchildren in the house last week. With Jared, Jesse, and Ian in school, Lydia at work, and Josiah visiting friends, I almost thought I was not going to get a group picture. Jared helping grandpa fix the dining area light. Jesse learning to swallow pills. He needs […]
Mourning Doves
Tuesday, February 6 A graceful, slender-tailed, small-headed dove that’s common across the continent. Mourning Doves perch on telephone wires and forage for seeds on the ground; their flight is fast and bullet straight. Mourning Doves eat roughly 12 to 20 percent of their body weight per day, or 71 calories on average. The Mourning Dove […]
Great American Outdoor Show
Monday, February 5 This year we had a definite purpose when visiting the Great American Outdoor Show at Harrisburg – stop at Bosbok Safaris – where we will be in a few weeks – (we leave the USA in 18 days!) Cerwin took this shot with his cell phone. A bit of a different angle […]
