This was the restaurant of choice for Nathan and Dustan for their 2019 birthdays. Nate, Lauree, Cerwin, Jenna, and Dustan. While taking this picture the other man at our table offered to take a shot that included me. (There was a father and son with us because each table serves eight.) Cerwin’s Pepsi and my […]
For Josiah and Becky’s Wedding It was fun that Becky (bride – in pink) and Diane used our garage early last week to get things ready for the wedding.

We love you! Grandpa and Grandma High
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 […]
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 […]

Wednesday, November 28 I have gone to Carla for a massage for the past fourteen years – after my siblings gave me a gift card for a massage. I was hooked after the first appointment and have gone almost every month since 2004. When I was there last week, she suggested that she come to […]
We are thankful for God’s grace and mercy to Josiah since the evening of his motorcycle accident on September 14. I took this photo a few minutes ago as Josiah was relaxing following his first shower in 69 days – one day short of ten weeks. He has had to take wash cloth baths until […]
Thursday Evening, November 8 What fun to be invited to Manheim Central’s Marching Barons practice session for the 59th Annual Cavalcade of Bands Marching Band Championship.

Sunday Evening, October 11 Josiah has settled into his room (formerly the man cave) in our house quite well and is enjoying frequent visitors. On the day of this picture, his visitor was Phil Rogers. It is eleven days since he was discharged from Reading Hospital and Reading Rehab. Earlier this week Diane (his mom) […]
Sunday Afternoon, October 21 We had an appointment with a rehab specialist at Reading Rehabilitation Hospital on Sunday afternoon to see if Josiah can transfer from his walker to one of our vehicles. We took our van because the doors are larger – making it easier for him than our RAV4. He went through the […]
Sunday, September 16 We were disappointed to miss a visit from Jordan and Alicia while we were at the Bluegrass Concert and Biker’s Sunday, but delighted to find half an apple pie in our refrigerator when we got home. They spent Saturday morning baking pies for their grandparents. I told Jordan, I think this young […]
Wednesday, October 3 I knew the empty room would get your attention! 🙂 No, he has not been transferred to Good Samaritan, Lebanon, PA – where it appears he will be going for therapy. He just happened to be in the operating room when we arrived yesterday. We missed seeing him because his time in […]
Tuesday, September 4 The driver is Ian – after receiving his “hot-of-the-press” permit. Thirteen out of sixteen grandchildren are now driving. We were honored that this was his first stop after leaving their house. I told Jere that he can look nervous and pretend to be chewing his fingernails. Jere just smiled and said he […]
We visited Josiah this afternoon. He is hurting, and glad for the availability of pain medication :), but he is stable and doing fairly well. He will have surgery tomorrow morning to do more repair to his right femur. On Thursday they plan to repair his hip. His hip socket is cracked. He has many […]
Wednesday Evening, August 22 Just before Diane and I left the house, a hummingbird came to our feeder. The party was given by their mutual friend Janessa, and held at the cute house where Kim and Joanna live. They moved here about the same time – a few weeks ago – as our granddaughter moved […]
Monday Afternoon, August 6 Oh, how delightful to meet Jade Mackenzie Rohrer – our third great-grandchild – but our first great-granddaughter. Born Friday night, August 3 – about 11:00 PM. 7 lbs. 2 oz. She is so tiny and perfect. I was amazed by the very small ID band on her tiny wrist. It was […]

Sunday, July 1 We were invited to Jesse’s birthday lunch – shortly after church. His choice for lunch – before the cake – was waffles, sausage, and bacon. There were also strawberries and whipped cream. After cake and ice cream, it was time for cards and gifts. I forget why there was a mustache in […]
Sunday Evening, June 10 This is just the top part of the pretty invitation – so I don’t give away email and phone information. The party was held in the Brick House Greenhouse – a delightful venue.

Sunday, October 12 Jesse’s parents had places to be – band competition for Ian and a wrestling match for Jared – and Jesse thought both sounded boring. He though it would be more fun to spend the day with Grandma. (Grandpa was in Nebraska.) Jesse and me at McDonald’s. (Yes, I must learn to do […]
