Rest in the Lord and be willing to wait for Him. Psalm 37:7 (NLV)
Saturday, July 27 I have a few more pictures as I left the beach on Saturday morning. The birds were serenading me as I walked away from the beach. The lawn sprinklers were busy as I walked toward the house. A rabbit ran across the sidewalk as I approached the house where we were staying. […]
Friday, July 26 These are shells and stones I picked up during our sunrise walk on the beach. When Jere and I got back to the house, Kristen was preparing waffles for everyone. Sausage was an option as well. Following breakfast cleanup, we headed to the beach. Jere, Cerwin and the boys had gone out […]
Thursday, July 25 Jere and Kristen rented half of a beach house (right side) for their family – for a week – and when they knew they would have an empty bedroom some of the time, they invited us to come for a night or two. We chose two nights – Thursday and Friday. It […]
Sunday, July 21 By Sunday morning we were set up for sixty people to have lunch in our garage and house. It was a brutally hot day, so we tried out our air conditioning system by keeping all doors and windows closed. (We were pleased that it worked quite well.) We found space for the […]
Sunday, July 14 It was a beautiful Sunday evening – and Biankah’s parents were coming home – so Diane and I tried to capture a few more pictures. We were back in the house with Lydia, knowing that Josiah and Becky would soon be here – following their honeymoon. We didn’t tell Biankah that her […]
Friday, July 12 During Diane’s week here – following the wedding – she gave Biankah and Anthony the opportunity to spend a few days together. Diane kept Biankah while Josiah and Becky went on a short honeymoon. This threesome decided to walk to the farm. I took these pictures just before 9 am. They must […]
At Jeff and Chris’ House It appears that Gloria thought I was taking her picture. 🙂 Some of the young people played Flag Croquet Golf. Do you think Nate noticed that I was taking a picture? 🙂 Deb helped Biankah find lightening bugs. Chris kindly found jars and Jeff poked holes in the lids. Katie […]
Tuesday, July 2 Diane wanted a picture of Anthony with two grandmas – Grammy Myers and Grandma High. Diane with her youngest daughter Lydia. Feeling silly I keep thinking that Lydia and Anthony (her nephew) have the same eyes. I still think that. I get to see these two more frequently when Diane is visiting […]
What fun to have two great-grandchildren here for supper this week and watch them enjoying corn on the cob. Biankah Anthony
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 […]
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. 🙂 […]
Friday, June 7 Nancy and I look forward to these birthday breakfasts. It’s nice that our birthdays are four months apart (and nine years) – which means she takes me out in late winter and I take her out in late spring. I won’t tell you how old she is, but the numbers are the […]
Sunday Afternoon, May 26 We planned to go to Kauffman’s (to check it out for a Sunday school outing this fall) and thought Ian, Jared and Jesse might like this for their 2019 birthday outing. All three boys liked the idea. In this photo we are waiting for our lunch numbers to be called. Every […]
Thursday, May 23 and Friday, May 24 We spent most of Thursday afternoon in a hospital waiting room while Cerwin’s brother, Elvin, had heart valve surgery. Left to right: Pat (Elvin’s wife), Crystal (daughter), Ted (son), Marie (Pat’s sister), Paul (nephew), Bryan (son) and back to the camera – Velda (Elvin & Cerwin’s sister) and […]
Sunday Afternoon, May 19 We left church after Sunday school to get the wedding tent organized for our family reunion – my siblings and their children and grandchildren. Jeff, Donovan, and Diana were among the first to arrive, so Cerwin gave them a ride on a golf cart that was still there from the wedding […]
Friday Afternoon, November 30 Three of the Myers (Mark, Diane, and Hannah) arrived at our house (from Maine) on Friday afternoon. Hezekiah arrived from Tennessee a short time later. Following an early supper, which Diane brought along, they went to Hanover (1 and 1/2 hours away) to visit Mark’s mother. Hezekiah and Josiah also went […]
Tuesday, November 27 Even though our 1999 van is having issues, we feel almost sad to sell it “as is” at a local car auction. We bought it new in 1999 and it has served us well for nineteen years. I think each of our grandchildren have ridden it – often five at a time. […]
Friday, November 9 to Sunday, November 18 This is who was staying at our house last week. Jared, Ian, and Jesse were here while their parents were on a business trip to Texas (November 9-16). Diane stayed after Mother Hershey’s funeral (October 27) to help with Josiah’s care when he came here from the hospital […]
Saturday, October 27 This is my step-sister, Carolyn, showing flowers and pictures to a few of her granddaughters. I obviously could not take many pictures – nor did I want to – but I wanted a few for my memory. Jere and Kristen’s family looking at the memory table with a few other family and […]
This is what has been happening in Josiah’s life in the past week. We were pleased that he got a four-hour release from rehab so he could attend Grandma Hershey’s funeral meal. Since it is a one-hour drive each way, we encouraged him to just come for the meal where he could relax and his […]
Sunday, October 14 Bob and Doris (Cerwin’s youngest sister) were here from Minnesota, so we used the occasion to have a family lunch in our garage. Everyone brought something. We provided the soup – cheeseburger and chili. I got a cute shot of Eric and Megan’s little girl – Audrina. Jeff, Chris, Doris, Bob Donald, […]
Saturday, October 6 This was the 17th Annual Chocolate Walk in Lititz – a popular event where a limited amount of 2,000 tickets are sold out within days of being released on July 1. This was our first experience and a gift from Jere and Kristen. We were encouraged to go to Stop #8 first […]
What should I do with this guy? He has been feeling really well and is pain free, so he decided to go for the mail. The mail lady hadn’t gone yet so he came back with this! We had some wind yesterday. I almost called out for him to stop, but it was too late. […]
This “cell phone photo” post is especially for our friends and family who were praying for Cerwin’s surgery this morning. This photo was of Chaplain George Freeman (Shrewsbury, MA) praying for Cerwin before we left our final TFC Conference meeting last week. We felt your prayers this morning. We arrived at Ephrata Hospital at 8:30 […]
This was the day my step-mother got to see Jesus face-to-face. I will miss our eye appointment dates and our stop at Fox Creamery.
He is at Reading Rehab getting some fresh air for the first time in a month. Photo by his sister Lydia.
I didn’t mention this in yesterday’s blog, because we did not have the definite diagnosis until this morning. Cerwin has been diagnosed with Seropositive Rheumatoid Arthritis. He had severe pain and weakness in his joints – especially his hands – at the end of August. Following an appointment with our family doctor and several blood […]
Wednesday, October 10 We visited Josiah at Reading Hospital on Sunday and again today. He is making enough progress, that plans are being made to transfer him to Reading Health Rehabilitation Hospital. We thought he was going to Good Samaritan in Lebanon, but it seems they want him closer to the Reading Hospital – if […]
Wednesday Afternoon, September 19 We knew this day was coming, and I was anxious to observe how Tim and Kelly Miller (Wampler Honey) removed a large hive of bees from the farm house where I grew up. Correction: Kelly Miller said she was not there. She thought it was her mother-in-law, Anne Miller. The bees […]
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 […]
