Rest in the Lord and be willing to wait for Him. Psalm 37:7 (NLV)
Holiday Concert at Middle School Fifth and Sixth Grade Band, Orchestra, and Chorus Tuesday, December 17 The other end of our row – Jana, Roy, and Deb. Even though Roy and Deb live an hour from our area, they love when nieces and nephews invite them to concerts. (Cerwin and I also enjoy these, and LOVE to […]
We Love You! Grandpa & Grandma
Howe, Indiana, to Marietta, Pennsylvania – Tuesday, December 10 For some reason this song kept running through my head as I watched the day break on Tuesday. Morning Has Broken – by Eleanor Farjeon Morning has broken, like the first morning Blackbird has spoken, like the first bird Praise for the singing, praise for the […]
With Cerwin’s family While we waited for everyone to come, I noticed a beautiful sunset. Isn’t it interesting that sunsets are never identical? I enjoyed standing in our yard and seeing the tattered leaves and shellbarks silhouetted in the sunset. By 5:45 everyone was here and it was time to enjoy the delicious food each family brought. My […]
We love you! Grandpa & Grandma
The day began with a beautiful sunrise. I enjoyed watching several birds eating their Thanksgiving breakfast. Later in the morning we went to church for our annual testimony of praise service. This is when several microphones are set up throughout the sanctuary and the audience is responsible for the program. It was interesting to hear from […]
It’s rather rare that I have a quiet weekend. However, that was bestowed on me the past two days while Cerwin, our sons, two grandsons, our brother-in-law, and a neighbor went to West Virginia to hunt deer. I was so settled into my La-Z-Boy – watching a good Hallmark Christmas movie and engrossed in beating the computer […]
We Love You! Grandpa & Grandma High
Overlook Skating Rink is not far from Chuck-E-Cheeses, so we had an hour to fill with another activity until the rink opened. First we spent some time at one of the playgrounds. Of course Jared tried to climb outside the safety fence. 🙂 I was impressed that there was the story of Noah’s Ark […]
We Love You! Daddy & Mother
…with our four youngest grandchildren. Saturday morning, November 2. This was a belated birthday gift for Jesse. He was so excited about “snowmobiling” that he didn’t even let Chuck-E-Cheese distract him. When I say belated, I mean belated. Jesse’s birthday was in June. The children were enticed to our table when the pizza arrived – […]
It was fun to have a short visit with Elizabeth – our oldest grandchild – last weekend. We went to the train station to get her on Thursday night (October 31) – after her all-day bus and train ride from Maine. She came to Pennsylvania to attend a weekend retreat – a reunion and time of […]
I was pleased when Chris chose El Serrano’s for her birthday, because we had never been there – and I love trying new restaurants. Tuesday Evening, October 29 The above photo and next paragraph are from the internet – just to give you an idea of where we ate: It’s authentic Latino American cuisine, and […]
Tuesday, October 22 at Brickerville Restaurant My brother Clair (third from right – facing camera) emailed us to say that he was going to be in our area on the evening of October 22, and could we get together for supper. He lives out of the area and spends a lot of time traveling internationally as a Cassava Program Leader […]
We were pleased to be invited to Peyton and Bailey’s birthday party. Sunday, October 20 Peyton is four. Bailey is two. Since their birthdays are close together, their parents often celebrate with one party. Their mama – Crystal – read the cards to her. Their daddy – Jakey – read Bailey’s card to her. Crystal is the […]
Tuesday, October 15 This is one of Jeff’s favorite restaurants, so I was not surprised when he chose this location for his birthday supper. It was a beautiful evening, so I was pleased to get a picture of Jeff and Chris in front of their ’46 Chevy. They enjoy taking it out on special occasions. […]
We love you! Daddy & Mother

Flame Seared Steak du jour Fresh Salad Greens Vegetable du jour Dessert – Chef’s choice Date & Time to be Determined by Buyer (April thru September 2013) This is what our daughter bid on at a benefit auction last fall – and chose us to be the other two people who would enjoy this meal. […]
Saturday Evening, September 28 This reunion – on the last Saturday of September each year – is something we always look forward to, partly because of the good food and partly because of the great fun we have together. Most of those in attendance are first cousins (and their spouses) – children of Cerwin’s mother and her siblings, […]
To Our Favorite Mark We love you! Daddy & Mother
Monday, September 23 – the evening before Jere’s forty-fourth birthday. We went to The Loft (Jere’s choice) in downtown Lancaster where our children took us for our anniversary dinner last week. This time our table was positioned along a wall where I had a good view of the attractive raftered ceiling where there is beautiful, healthy-looking greenery. I […]
I won’t need many words to show that these animals are loved and well cared for once they get to Roy and Deb’s house. When the trucker heard that he lost two baby ducks, he was surprised that they were alive. They must have fallen off the truck at the same time to be discovered together. […]
There were multiple reasons why we and Jere and Kristen’s family met Roy and Deb at RD’s for lunch after church on Sunday. 1. It is a new restaurant in Roy and Deb’s area. 2. I had some things that needed to be returned to Deb (they live about an hour away from us). 3. Deb twisted her knee […]
We love you! Daddy & Mother
Five Generations Back: Dorretta (Grandma), Justin (Father). Front: Velda (Great-grandma), Owen (baby), and Ella (Great-great-grandma) The parents: Haley and Justin with Mother and Owen. We added Owen’s great-grandparents Mel and Velda. He was not particularly impressed with all the photographers. Owen’s grandparents, Dorretta and Rod in the back. Then we changed our attention to baby Bryson. […]
Last night we had a covered dish supper to celebrate her birthday. Justin, Josh, Jordan, and Cerwin. After lunch we asked the young guys in our man cave to help get the table board and saw horses from the pavilion to use for the serving table. We timed their help perfectly – just before the Eagles game […]
Roy and Deb were our chauffeurs to The Loft in downtown Lancaster. (Jere and Kristen took us home.) After finding a parking spot, we walked toward the restaurant and were surprised by the clip clop of horses behind us and turned around to see two city policemen. Waiting to go upstairs to the second floor dining area. […]
Our Pennsylvania children took us out for supper tonight. Cerwin, Chris, Jeff, Roy, Deb, Kristen, and Jere. We had a wonderful time talking, laughing, and eating delicious food. I was wearing the beautiful corsage that Cerwin had delivered earlier today. I’ll tell you more about our evening in my next post.
That I married my best friend!
