Rest in the Lord and be willing to wait for Him. Psalm 37:7 (NLV)
~~~ Saturday, July 17 ~~~ Sometime toward the end of the week, Cerwin and I were discussing that we had a totally open weekend – nothing on our schedule. A short time later we talked to our friend Sam Rittenhouse who said they were coming to Brownstown for The Potter’s House Pork Roast at noon […]
~~~ Thursday Evening, July 15 and Friday Morning, July 16 ~~~ As we were coming home from Bible School, we drove by a place with a bunch of mushrooms in their front lawn. Cerwin said, “We have some too – beside the garage.” Sure enough there was a fairy ring. A fairy ring is a […]
I miss seeing birds at our feeders since I stopped feeding them the other week – due to a request from a government program wanting to stop the gathering of various birds at feeders to stop a disease that is killing them. However, I am glad I have filed pictures in name groupings for the […]
“Tracking Down the One True God” has given our Bible School Superintendents and teachers the opportunity turn this year’s Bible School in to a week of mystery. We arrived early last night so I could get pictures of the Bible School rooms before the children were there. There was a teacher in the room when […]
~~~ Wednesday, July 14 ~~~ I was out of the house early on Wednesday, because I had an 8 AM appointment at our family practice laboratory in Lititz for a routine blood test – in preparation for my yearly checkup next week. I came home, enjoyed a few sips of coffee and a slice of […]
It seems like we’ve had tropical weather in southeastern Pennsylvania the past two weeks: heat and high humidity during the day, then thunder storms in the evening. The corn seems to be growing by the foot every few days. It is so hot from the afternoon sun that steam is created when the evening rain […]
~~~ Wednesday, July 7 ~~~ Yes, the owners of this place (Sam and Betty High) are related to us. Sam is Cerwin’s uncle – the youngest brother of Cerwin’s dad. I took advantage of Tucker being in our area to take her, Jesse and Anthony on a miniature golf outing. This was what Jesse wanted […]
I usually take pictures of birds and keep them in a file until I am ready to feature them. These pictures were taken earlier this spring. Even though they can be pushy at feeders and chase other birds away, they are fun to watch. From the Internet: Blue Jays are some of the most recognized […]
~~~ Tuesday, July 6 ~~~ I was pleased that it suited each of our Pennsylvania great-grandchildren to go swimming on Tuesday. This was their 2021 birthday gift from us. Above you can see Jenna and Jade, Jasmine and Abby and Bennett and Diana. (Jenna, Abby and Diana are granddaughters.) Anthony (his mom is Abby) Tucker […]
~~~ Tuesday Morning, July 6 ~~~ 6:30 AM. We heard them before we saw them – equipment that was oil and chipping our road. You will notice how tall the corn is getting in the fields that surround our house. Most of the vehicles belonged to Martin Paving (below) – there were a few Penn […]
We love you! Grandpa and Grandma High
~~~ Monday, July 5 ~~~ Her birthday gift from me. We had a great time visiting at City Star Diner in Manheim. I hadn’t thought about going there until a few weeks ago when Cerwin’s sister (Velda) said they make a good breakfast. They even give a 10% discount if you bring a church bulletin. […]
~~~ Sunday evening at Jere and Kristen’s place ~~~ These brand new flip flops make me smile. Kristen used them as a table decoration, but when Josh and Emily arrived, Emily was mortified, thinking Tucker had put her shoes on the table. 🙂 (Tucker had spent the previous week with “Papa and Mamma High”.) Imagine […]
~~~ Photos from earlier this spring – April & May ~~~ I just learned – from a friend – that Pennsylvania residents are encouraged to not feed birds and to remove feeders for a period of time. They are trying to do a study on why so many birds are dying. My first thought was, […]

~~~ Friday Evening, July 2 ~~~ A few views of an old tractor and car with the audience in the background. I noticed this sign when we walked into the yard to place our chairs in front of the wagon, but didn’t think too much about it. As I walked around looking for photo ops, […]
