Lancaster Make A Wish ~ Part 2
Sunday, May 12 Waiting for our turn to leave the parking lot. We are on our way! Spectators were fewer than usual and many were under umbrellas. As we got out on the road the people were watching from their vehicles. There are usually lots of people on this bridge, but this year only one […]
Lancaster Make A Wish ~ Part 1
Sunday, May 12 Another rainy Make-A-Wish Day Waiting in line to enter Burle Industries. Notice the trucks ahead of us. The trucks behind us – in the rear-view mirror. We got set up during a period when the rain was just a drizzle. The organizers give us a great spot. Notice the fire company man-lift […]
TFC ~ Susquehanna Chapter Banquet
Saturday Evening, May 11 We enjoyed a nice two-hour drive to Ric-Mar Restaurant. Spending an evening with TFC friends was even more enjoyable. Pastor Dressler opened the program with a beautiful hymn, then closed the evening with another one. Chaplain Joe Matthews (Frystown Chapel) gave an interesting ministry update. A beautiful scene on the way […]
Field & Garden
Wednesday, May 8 Our area has been blessed with rain, so fields and yards are quite green. Farmers don’t have many open periods of time to cut and harvest crops. Eli got his hay harvested during a few sunny days last week. In our yard, the azalea are beautiful. The peppermint tea is ready for […]
Happy Birthday to Our Favorite Austin
We love you! Grandpa and Grandma High
Hanging Wire
Monday, May 6 When I went to the mailbox last Monday, I noticed a wire hanging from one of the large overhead wires. The wire almost touched the mail box, so I called our electric company, because I didn’t want anyone touching it. I told them it looked like an exterior wire from a large […]
Make-A-Wish Convoy ~ Gettysburg
Sunday, May 5 Looks like it will be a rainy day for the Make-A-Wish Convoy. I took these pictures at the TFC office while Cerwin prepared the truck for travel. An unfocused photo of rain on the truck windshield turned out to be interesting. On the road – up Chiques Hill – toward Route 30 […]
Ferns
If anyone in our local area would like any ferns, ours have multiplied and are threatening to take over our memory garden. I will be glad to share some with you. They are beautiful and I love them in our woodsy lot.
Happy Birthday to Our Favorite Anthony
We love you! Great-Grandpa & Great-Grandma High.
Pretty Birds
May is one of my favorite bird-watching months because of the variety of birds at our feeders. Indigo Bunting Photobomber! Cardinal Catbird Goldfinch I put our hummingbird feeder out the other day, and within half-an-hour there was one feeding. I didn’t even know they were back in our area. Notice the difference in her feet […]
Cleveland Clinic ~ Day 4
Thursday, May 2 We woke up to a foggy morning. We were impressed that the doctor came fairly early in the morning and gave Marlin his walking papers. The doctor knew we had a six-hour drive so made sure he had an early release. Marlin said, “I am out of here!” Our last ride in […]
Cleveland Clinic ~ Day 3
Wednesday, May 1 We enjoyed walking the few blocks to the hospital on our third day in Cleveland. These busses – with accordion middles – were a common sight in the city. Marlin’s blood pressure was still high for most of the morning, but after they changed a medication, it began coming down. He was […]
Happy Birthday to Our Favorite Lauree
We love you! Grandpa and Grandma High
Cleveland Clinic ~ Day 2
Tuesday, April 30 This was my view at 5:30 am – from the ninth floor of our hotel. I took this picture just before 7 am. A view out the corner window. Marlin and Nancy were across the hall, so their view was quite different from ours. Marlin asked Cerwin to come watch the traffic […]
Cleveland Clinic ~ Day 1
Monday, April 29 The purpose of this trip was to take my sister, Nancy, and her husband, Marlin, to Cleveland Clinic for his six-week checkup following complicated heart surgery. He was hoping to get permission to drive – and sit in the front seat of a car – following this checkup. I took this picture […]
Birthday Supper
Friday Evening, April 26 We celebrated Cerwin’s birthday a few days late – after Jeff and Chris’ family got home from a Tennessee vacation. We were sad that Roy was sick that evening and could not come to Outback Steakhouse – Cerwin’s restaurant of choice. Jeff, Cerwin, Jere, Kristen, Chris, and Deb. Steak was the […]
