Driving Home from Maine
~~~ Wednesday, October 11 ~~~ We left Mark and Diane’s house shortly after 6 am when it was still dark, but with the promise of a sunrise in the eastern sky. I love watching the sunrise to our left as we travel south on I-95, but it’s always a challenge to capture photos – with […]
Tuesday in Maine
~~~ October 10 ~~~ Tuesday is one of Mark’s days off from work. So, we took advantage of that by playing several games of Qwirkle. He is a driver for First Fleet out of Lewiston. If you look closely, you can see this is a game they play frequently because the colors are starting to […]
Monday in Maine
~~~ Monday, October 9 ~~~ During our October visit, Diane usually takes us for a drive to an area that we have not yet visited. This time her goal was to buy apples. She chose North Star Orchards, Madison, Maine, as our goal. First, we stopped at BME a construction supply store where prices are […]
Sunday in Maine
~~~ October 8 ~~~ The day opened with cool, damp weather. Our first stop was at Hannah’s gravesite to see the tombstone that was recently put in place. The photos: sunrise (top) and cows were taken by Hannah at the Bisson farm where she worked. From there we went to worship at the Wales Brethren […]
The Weather Had Many Moods as We Traveled to Maine
~~~ Saturday, October 7 ~~~ We left home about 5:45 am – driving through a bit of drizzle. I took this photo about an hour later in the Allentown area. By this time the roads were dry. By 6:50 am the sky seemed to clear and we saw signs of the sun behind the clouds. […]
Lunch with Jesse
~~~ Thursday, October 5 ~~~ Each time we pick up Jesse (our youngest grandchild) when school is out early for his class – meaning busses aren’t running – we think it is our last time, because he will get his driver’s license in a few months. So, again we took advantage of taking him to […]

Foggy Morning & Waxing Gibbous Moon
~~~ Wednesday, October 4 ~~~ I love a foggy country morning.
Schaefer’s Restaurant
~~~ Tuesday, October 3 ~~~ When I told Marlin and Nancy (my sister) about Schaefer’s Restaurant, Marlin said he would enjoy that for one of our day trip excursions, so we made it happen with Roy and Deb – before it gets cold. It was our 2023 birthday treat for Deb and an excursion day […]
Happy Birthday to Our Favorite Bridget

Sparrow
One of the most common birds in the world, yet God says He knows when a sparrow dies. Knowing that He cares about sparrows, helps me know that He cares about me, that He knows my location and my needs.
Early Morning Fog and Moon

Happy Birthday to Our Favorite Nsimba

Community Day at Paul B’s
~~~ Saturday, September 30 ~~~ Cerwin wanted to check on something in the store, so we thought it would be a good morning to go to Paul B’s Community Day. They had a tent that was specifically designed for children. The corn boxes were quite popular with the youngest children. The regional police had a […]
Happy Birthday to Our Favorite Mark
We love you! Daddy and Mother High
Corn Harvest Across the Road from Our House
~~~ Thursday, September 28 ~~~ I never tire of watching harvest of any kind, because it is a sign of the end of a season. On this day the standing corn was chopped and turned into silage which will feed the cattle for the next year. Then, just like that they were finished with the […]
