Rest in the Lord and be willing to wait for Him. Psalm 37:7 (NLV)
TFC Truck Rally 2019 – June 22 Cerwin led the parade of trucks back into the fairgrounds at 11:50 – just fifty minutes after leaving. I tried to choose a variety of trucks and colors for this post. If you want to see all 214 pictures I took of the returning trucks, go to my […]

Saturday, June 22 Cerwin was ready to lead the Parade of Trucks by 11:00 am. Our truck parkers and the fire police did an amazing job of getting the trucks on the road. The fairgrounds was emptied in 45 minutes. Ten minutes later they began re-entering the fairgrounds. If you want to see all 206 […]
Saturday, June 22 Love this old pickup truck. Trucks came in a continuous stream from 9:30 to 10:30. Oh, look, here comes the Weaver family. Kate is our niece. Lincoln making sure that he can see me. 🙂 The A-Z AG Repair truck holds my favorite Nathaniel, Abby, and Anthony. The fairground was getting full. […]
Saturday, June 22 Our day began at 6 am at Quentin Haus Restaurant with about 40 volunteers. Mark Leatherman and his crew parked 221 trucks by 11 am. Our son Jeff’s old Chevy His son-in-law Donovan was right behind him. Diana (Donovan’s wife and Jeff’s daughter) brought up the rear of this threesome. It looks […]
Sunday Evening, June 23 Jordan was grilling hamburgers and chicken when we arrived. Everyone loved meeting Alpha – Donovan and Diana’s new puppy. Deb is an animal magnet, so was one of the first to hold him. Jeff, Jade, Alpha and Gloria Gloria and another graduate friend were the first to be served when supper […]
Things that captured my attention last week.
Remember when I posted this picture from June 9 – of corn being planted in the field below us? This is what it looked like the other day – nine days later – after weekly rains and humidity. Soil (or dirt) is an interesting study and is far from what appears to be a dead […]
The other day Transport For Christ had a Zoom Video Conference. (This is a picture of Bunny, Ron, Mike and Joe in the office board room – on my computer screen.) We could see each participant’s name on top of the screen – and their pictures if they had a camera on their computer. We […]
Thursday, June 20 Yesterday, when I went to the mailbox in the early morning, I thought, “Wow, with this humidity there have to be mushrooms in our yard.” Sure enough I found a great variety. I am not a connoisseur of mushrooms, so I never learned which are edible and which are not. They tell […]
We love you! Great Grandpa & Great Grandma High
It is so easy to keep them these days since they basically take care of themselves. Jesse was pleased when a package arrived for him the other day. It was his first new cell phone. He previously had a hand-me-down from his oldest brother, Josh. It amazes me that he was able to set it […]
I am pleased with the Dwarf Sunflower I bought the other week. It had only one bloom when I brought it home. The daylilies are looking pretty. We will soon have lots of daisies. I don’t know what this is, but it comes up in the memory garden every year. The yucca blossoms are beautiful. […]
Saturday, June 15 We started our day in the Food Court area with egg sandwiches. The boys did not find any more 1969 or 1970 trucks (their parent’s birth years) so I took a few pictures of interesting trucks – among the field of 845. Somebody did a good chainsaw carving to make this bulldog. […]
Sunday, June 16 Sunday school – The New Covenant’s Sacrifice Teacher – Gary Stevens The Old Covenant was a “bloody” covenant. Blood flows through the Bible like it flows through our veins. Without blood the solution to our salvation is dead. To see blood – someone or something must be injured. Praise God for the […]
Friday, June 14 This is one of my favorite places to take TFC’s mobile chapel. Maybe it’s because we are there for two days, so there is plenty of time to see the trucks and meet lots of people. Our view from the chapel door. This year we had Jared and Jesse along, because their […]
Sunday, June 16 Because Jere and Kristen are Prague – their three youngest are staying with us. Their children needed someone to honor on Father’s Day, so Jana, Austin, Ian, Jared, and Jesse took us to Hoss’s for lunch. You can tell I forgot my good camera and had to use my cell phone. 🙂 […]
