Saturday Evening May 6 Jere and Kristen asked if I would be able to go along to take pictures at the location where many of the seniors go for pre-prom pictures. Of course I was delighted go join in the excitement. I took more that 600 pictures, but chose to post only a few of my […]
Friday, April 28 Jesse, Heze, Ian, Jared came for the weekend. Jere and Kristen went to Washington DC to celebrate Kristen’s birthday – the reason the youngest three were here. Heze drove here from Tennessee to surprise his parents who were arriving the next day. ~~~ I treasure these kind of days when grandchildren are here.
It’s lawn mowing time and our grandson Ian is looking for a few more jobs.He also has a Toro zero turn for large yards. If interested call or message him at 717-810-7318 or if you have Facebook, message him at Ian High.
Saturday, March 18 We were pleased that they had a open day to celebrate Donovan’s 2017 birthday choice of things to do with us. I wanted an updated photo of them – and Cerwin photobombed it! 🙂 That’s better We each went our own way – because we all shop differently. It makes shopping more enjoyable […]
Friday, March 3 through Saturday, March 11 Jesse arrived sick with a fever, but that was okay with me. Jere and Kristen needed to be on a plane early Saturday morning. It’s not the first time there was a sick child in our house. 🙂 I kept Jere and Kristen updated during the day as his […]
Sunday, March 12 I rarely take pictures of the guys and gals who use our man cave, because I respect their privacy, but today I wanted a picture of these three friends because tomorrow Lathan leaves for the U.S. Army. I wanted the picture for myself, but they gave me permission to post it here and on Facebook. […]
Kristen invited me to middle school at 8:30 am on Thursday to watch Jared in the 6th, 7th, and 8th grade spelling bee. Jared is in 6th grade. First thing I had to do was stop by the office for a visitor pass. The judges, officials, and teachers were checking to see if each student had arrived. […]
Now that we are home – after interrupting my regular posting to show you the wedding pictures – I will go back to when Jere and Kristen’s three youngest boys were with us for two weeks.I went to their house each school evening to get the boys. Since they live only a mile away – and […]

October 22-30 We have been in charge of caring for these three grandchildren many times during their lifetime, but none of them ever turned out quite like this time. 🙂 I asked the boys (left to right: Jared, Jesse, and Ian) to pose for a picture this morning before church – to send to their parents who are […]
Sunday, August 28 It was about the middle the afternoon on Sunday when I felt bored and called the boys to see if they wanted to play Scum. They were here within minutes. 🙂 They didn’t know how to play but were fast learners. Jesse used barriers so he didn’t have to hold his cards. […]
Saturday Evening, August 27 Josiah heard about our visit to Rooster Street with Jordan, and thought he would rather go there than the place he originally chose for his 2016 birthday gift. I tried to look for some new things to photograph. If you want water, this is where you get it. If you want to pay […]
Friday, August 12 Great-Grandma Hershey and the boys look forward to our annual game date. She plays “Golf” more than we do so we usually need a refresher round. They also enjoy her game closet and playing with some of the toys they played with as little boys. She always has a delicious snack. Bugles. […]
Friday, August 12 For some reason I didn’t take many pictures of Jared and Jesse working on the crafts they got at AC Moore. I think this is the only one I have. Jesse got a rocket and Jared assembled a robot. Now on to the bowling. Jesse Ian Jared Me This was Jesse’s 2016 Birthday gift. […]

Monday, August 8 This is what used to be Cousins’ Week at our house – but it seems that everyone has grown up, gotten married, or have jobs, so we are down to the youngest three grandchildren and are now having Brothers’ Week. 🙂 Chuck E Cheese’s was their choice for Monday. While they used tokens and gathered tickets, […]
Friday evening, August 5 Our grandson Jordan was refreshing his pitching skills when we arrived. Their usual pitcher – his brother-in-law Dustan – was on call at work and had to go somewhere toward Philadelphia. Jordan said that he hadn’t pitched for awhile. Then he showed his mom how to use his apparatus to keep […]
Thursday, July 14 Everybody in his house was working, so Jesse got to spend a morning with me. I love that, because he is our only grandchild who isn’t old enough to stay at home by himself – so he is the only one who needs me now and then. 🙂 He spent the first hour […]
Thursday, June 30 For his birthday gift, Nate chose a dinner date with us – and General Sutter Inn for the restaurant. (We give our children and grandchildren a variety of choices.) We had a great evening hearing about things that are going on in his life. We shared a cheese plate. Some of the décor […]
June 1 to 15 Wednesday, June 1. I received a call from Chrome Shop Mafia saying they had just shipped a partial skid of goodies to our office. I was expecting a box of “goodies” from them, http://www.chromeshopmafia.com/truck-shows/ because they offered to give us goody bags for the first 125 drivers who register at the Truck Rally, but a […]
Thursday, June 9 and Friday June 10 Diana came to our house so I could get a few pictures before her graduation. Finally – graduation time arrived If you noticed my blog date, you saw two dates.

Friday, May 13 When Jere informed us that he planned a family workday for our yard on Saturday, May 14. I knew there was a lot of work for the adults, so thought about what I could plan for Jesse. I have a very small garden – garden tea, a tomato plant, and a few other […]
Friday, May 6 It was a cool, rainy day when we were shopping at Stauffer’s of Kissel Hill Greenhouse – Rohrerstown location. I asked Cerwin how close we were to where our granddaughter Jenna works – at her in-laws business. He said that we weren’t far away, so I texted Jenna to ask if she […]
This is the day – twenty-two years ago – that our sweet little grandson Elijah left us for his eternal home. This counted cross-stitch picture brings a smile to my face because I took the photo on a good day of Elijah’s short life here on earth, but the memory of May 13, 1994, brings tears to my eyes. While […]

Monday Evening, January 4 After supper at Sea Dog, we went to Hannah and Lydia’s place to exchange a few gifts. The gifts in the box were for Now-You-Have-It-Now-You-Don’t. I forgot to take pictures of that game. I think we brought some of these gifts from Pennsylvania – given by Nate, Abby (their Pennsylvania daughter & sister), and Anthony. Two chocolate […]
