Rest in the Lord and be willing to wait for Him. Psalm 37:7 (NLV)
Sunday Evening, February 26 Abby and Josh The evening started with a 5 pm supper with the High family – the reason Elizabeth and Nsimba decided to come to Pennsylvania. Everyone brought something to contribute to the meal. Cerwin and I provided the Cheeseburger Soup. There is lots of noise, laughter, and visiting when we […]
Sunday, February 26 Nsimba and Elizabeth wanted a weekend away, and since the High family was coming to our place for Sunday supper, they chose to drive to Pennsylvania – from Maine. We decided to invite my siblings (Hersheys) to drop in during the afternoon, and told Elizabeth that she was welcome to invite the […]
Sunday, February 19 After church we went to Fairmont Homes to visit Cerwin’s Uncle Luke and Aunt Willa Mae. I wanted to take a picture of them, but waited too long, and was uncomfortable doing it after two other couples arrived. We had a great afternoon with them. Two days later we had a sunrise that […]
Sunday, February 12 We took our Pennsylvania children to General Sutter in Lititz for lunch after church. Flowers and a card from Jere and Kristen’s family. Our crew. I am so honored to do life with them. They are the best! Notice that our oldest and youngest are not paying attention to the photographer. 🙂 […]
Wednesday, February 8 Day 5 of my birthday week Our living room window presents a new “Painting by God” each morning – and it changes by the minute. Love my morning view It was a beautiful morning to take a TFC mailing to the post office – then meet our youngest daughter Deb at “Nails […]
This morning on the news we heard a marriage counselor say – if you want to keep your love alive, don’t keep on doing the same old thing – same gifts, same restaurant, etc. So when I came out of the shower – there stood Cerwin with guitar in hand singing, “You Are My Sunshine.” […]
Thursday Evening, February 2 Because he won the spelling bee, Jere and Kristen told Jared to choose a restaurant for the celebration. He chose Olive Garden Cerwin took this picture, then a waitress offered to take one with him in it. What fun to celebrate with this gang. My yummy fettuccini – my favorite dish at Olive Garden. […]
Monday, January 30 My sister usually takes me to Brickerville House Restaurant for breakfast sometime near my birthday. It was a bit early this year because she is very busy next week. It is one of the closest restaurants to our house – and Nancy’s. I enjoy going here because of the delicious food and interesting history. […]
Happy 95th Birthday to My Mother. This picture was probably taken in 1949 when I was 5 and mother was 27. January 28 is always a day when I think about the things I would like to tell (or ask) her and everything that has happened in our family since she died at the age of 52 in 1974 […]
Wednesday, January 25 It was good to see a sunrise following many foggy, cloudy, rainy mornings. After getting a few things done in the office, we left for the Sauder lunch at Oregon Dairy. This was begun many years ago to get Mother High’s siblings together, and because someone had to bring most of them, it […]
A few of my favorites – when our children were young. ~~~ I am about three-fourth finished with changing our old slides into digital pictures. My goal is to finish this job by the end of January. Our family in 1975: Diane, Jere, Deb, Me, Cerwin, Jeff My cousin Barry and Jeff at the Miller’s hunting cabin – […]
Oh what fun to keep our great-grandson for four days last week while his parents ministered to others at a conference. Some pictures from our week… On day one we spent time in the office, so we had envelopes for the mailbox. Since we already had our coats on, we filled a few birdfeeders. He makes me smile. Putting […]
Friday and Saturday – January 6 & 7 Snow on the ground Clouds and geese in the sky Birds on our feeders I love road trips, vacations and visiting our Maine family, but it is good to be home and back in the routine of life again.
Wednesday evening January 4 – our last evening in Maine Our son-in-law Mark enjoys roasting his own coffee and gave us a demonstration – then gave the coffee to us. 🙂 He has perfected the process quite well. They buy the beans green and roast them in an old popcorn popper – one that he keeps turning […]
Wednesday, January 4 Lydia and Hannah came over to enjoy the morning with us. Elizabeth stopped by on the way to work – to say goodbye because we were leaving Thursday morning. Someone thought I should take a foot shot since we were all in pretty socks – except Hannah. 🙂 Clockwise from me in the […]
Tuesday, January 3 I took pictures of these seed pods on a bush near Mark and Diane’s driveway while waiting for everyone to get to the car to begin our morning shopping trip. I have no idea what kind of bush it is, but thought these seed pods are rather pretty. Hannah was looking for sneakers – […]
Monday, January 2 After our visit to Cabela’s in Scarborough we enjoyed a delicious early lunch at Famous Dave’s BBQ at the other end of the parking lot. A patron saw me taking the previous picture and offered to take one with me in it. Diane’s lunch Hezekiah’s meal Cerwin’s chili and baked potato My […]
Monday Morning, January 2 This shot of the moon was leftover in my camera from the night before when the moon and Venus were bright in the Maine sky. Morning in the Myers’ backyard. This trip to Cabela’s in Scarborough was for Heze’s 2016 birthday. Diane asked if she could be his date. 🙂 This […]
New Year’s Day 2017 We were up early (3:45 am), out of the house by 5:15 am, and on the road for two hours by daybreak. 8:00 am Crossing the Tappan Zee Bridge (8:10 am) and seeing the progress of the new bridge. We could see New York City through the bridge railings. Traveling at bridge […]

Friday, December 30 Jere had some gift cards and asked us to go along to Cabela’s. He especially wanted his dad’s advice on a gun. Ian, Jared, Jesse, and Cerwin. Josh and Jere were behind me. If you are familiar with the Cabela’s in Hamburg, PA, you know where this moose is located. The end […]
Wednesday, December 28 This was the scene as we turned into Roy and Deb’s road – to go out with them for supper. Just before turning into their driveway. This was for Roy’s 2016 birthday – which was in July. 🙂 He had actually chosen something else that didn’t materialize, so he decided to wait […]
Saturday, December 24 We love being invited to join Jere and Kristen’s family for their traditional Christmas Eve movie and meal. This year we started with an early lunch at Pizza Hut. Roy and Deb also joined us as his family lives in Florida. Jere and Kristen like to make sure all family members have something to […]
Saturday, December 17 This is what our RAV4 hood looked like from my spot in the passenger seat when we left Souderton – after the prayer breakfast. Traveling home It was good to be home – after almost two hours on the road – and look at the wintry scene from inside our warm house. […]
Today, December 21 Yesterday I finished several busy weeks in the office – processing and taking staff newsletters to the post office – so I decided to go to Lancaster for some DMC embroidery floss for the photo I am stitching of Jesse. I didn’t have my camera along, so these are cell phone pictures. About two miles from […]
I enjoyed caring for our great-grandson Anthony for several hours on Monday, December 12. He loves anything that involves tractors and trucks so was captivated by the action outside our house that morning. These men were preparing to unload an electric pole. The next day it was taken to the center of a nearby field. And the […]
Wednesday Evening, October 19 Jeff chose Rooster Street Butcher for his birthday meal. This place always makes me feel like I have traveled to Europe. Our delicious cheese plate appetizer Chris’ red beet salad and smoked chicken sandwich I got seasoned fries and red beet salad. The men both had the steak and fries entree. Jeff chose […]
Friday Evening, October 14 Deb rescued these cute little guys when they were quite tiny. They are healthy and growing up – and play and tussle like puppiesl This is an older one. They have a few that are ready for release into the woods. They have quite the bird and animal sanctuary in their back yard. […]
Thursday Evening, October 6 Because Cerwin’s mother died in February, her family was invited to Landis Homes for a Service of Remembrance for those on campus who died between September 2015 and August 2016. We had two other stops (flu shots and supper at a restaurant) and gave ourselves plenty of time. Each stop went faster than […]
Saturday Evening, September 24 at a Landis Homes social room We had a very small group of 22 for the Sauder reunion this year, but that didn’t hinder us from having a lot of fun. Somehow the third and fourth generations of a family don’t find family reunions to be fun. Cousins are the ones […]
