Tuesday, September 24 My sister, Nancy, messaged me on Monday evening, saying, “I know this is late notice, but would you be interested in going to see the elk tomorrow?” Within minutes it was arranged, because it suited us – and we were interested. 🙂 We left our house about 12:30 pm for the 3-4 […]
I love waking up to a new day – especially when there is morning fog.
Sunday Evening, September 22 Cerwin’s siblings, our children, and nieces and nephews always bring a delicious array of food when we have a carry-in meal.

The farmers are busy in our area – especially across the road from us. Our Amish neighbor was spreading manure on Monday, September 16. As you can see by his clothing – it was a warm morning. Wednesday evening – two days later – they began harvesting the corn on our family farm. They were […]
Things I saw in the sky during the past few days The other afternoon as we were going to our local garage – to pick up our car following its inspection – we saw this pretty reflection of the sun behind the clouds. A few nights ago I realized there was a pretty sunset in […]

Sunday Evening, September 15 We arrived at Enck’s Banquet Center in Manheim about 5:15 pm. for our 5:30 pm supper. The entrance area is beautifully decorated. We had a great evening with many who were our teenage friends – in the late 50s and early 60s – the reason we are called “The Old Gang”. […]

This trip – with Bryce Canyon as our ultimate goal – began last Christmas (2018) when Cerwin and I discussed Christmas gifts. His gift of choice was an all-interstate-trip. I chose Bryce Canyon as the destination, he planned the route (I-70 west and I-80 east). LICENSE PLATES: During down times of driving or in city […]
Wednesday, September 11 – Youngstown, Ohio to Home The view from our motel window shortly after 7 am. I never like going home from a vacation, but seeing this sign helps prepare me the end of a fabulous vacation. 🙂 It’s good to see our Pennsylvania mountains. It is also good to see signs of […]
Tuesday, September 10 – Lafayette, Indiana to Youngstown, Ohio As you can see, it was a beautiful morning when we left our motel in Lafayette – about 7:50 am. I love when the GPS puts us on a back road and takes us through local towns. My notes tell me we were going through Huntington, […]
