Rest in the Lord and be willing to wait for Him. Psalm 37:7 (NLV)
These are pictures that didn’t fit into any other posts during the month of August. I enjoyed being serenaded each morning by this cute little wren. We have an outside camera that picks up sounds – the reason I could hear it so clearly. A robin looking for breakfast. A blue jay enjoying the morning […]
Sunday, August 25 We could smell that something delicious was being grilled when we arrived at Jere and Kristen’s house. This was Ian’s choice of meat. Their chickens are doing a good job of providing eggs. Ian’s birthday balloon. I needed a new birthday photo for Ian, so did a few settings to try for […]
We love you! Grandpa and Grandma High
I took these pictures during the week of August 14-21. The harvesting was done on the 20th and 21st. I have enjoyed watching the maturing of the butternut squash in the field across from our yard. When I asked our Amish neighbor if they were going to hand pick them, he said, “No, they will […]
Saturday, August 25 and Sunday, August 26 Breakfast pizza on Saturday morning Jere was our “spider-web-destroyer” as the four of us began a morning walk. The sign at the end of our driveway Beauty along the way Can you tell that it was a beautiful morning? We couldn’t identify this foot print? Our first thought […]
Sunday, August 25 Sunday school – Teacher: Nevin Ebersole – A Covenant of Love Do not be too busy to love. Are you satisfied with the way you love? God will never stop loving you. He is continually searching for your heart and your response to His love. God’s love is deeper than you can […]
We love you! Daddy & Mother
Thursday, August 15 and Friday August 16 We found ourselves following the rented trailer again – left – as we headed to Potter County, PA. Notice the big load on the trailer to the right. 🙂 This rig did have a big load. Now we are on my kind of road – a back country […]
Tuesday, August 13 When we got out of the car at Jeff and Chris’ house I noticed these pretty mushrooms. Lauree and Jenna preparing the salad. Lauree, Nathan and Gloria Jeff and Chris Jordan and Jade Jade and Grandpa Jenna preparing Jade’s supper Grandpa and Diana Jade liked pressing the button and making noise on […]
Tuesday Evening, August 13 I am glad Diane wanted this picture before she headed back to Maine. It doesn’t appear that Jasmine was as happy about it. 🙂 Me, Diane, Jasmine, and Abby. Jasmine and her momma Jasmine and her Grammy Myers On this particular day, Anthony was a cowboy – I think “Cowboy Derric” […]
We love you! Grandpa & Grandma High
Our friend Lois has been in the hospital or rehab since mid-May. When life slowed down for us, following the truck rally in late June, I asked their daughters if there was anything we could do to help. Their daughter Darlene said the biggest need was for help on Tuesdays. Cerwin took Harold to the […]
Tuesday, August 13 Amos was back to finish the job he started the previous week – cutting down more dead ash trees. None of these were super large, close or leaning toward the house, so he could use his own equipment, and did not have to rent the crane. I was not home during most […]
Saturday, August 10 and Sunday, August 11 Technology, Relationships and God’s Way Conference (see previous post) Saturday’s speakers: Lloyd Lorentz, Ryan Bowman, Jared Groff, Kevin Greiner, Larry Rohrer, and Nelson Rutt. Sunday’s speakers: Sunday school – Glendon Zook. Church – Jon Cassel. Large internet companies make money by consuming, attracting, repacking, reselling, or redirecting our […]
Saturday, August 10 This was held at our church – White Oak Church of the Brethren. The conference coordinators and speakers met in the board room for prayer before the beginning of the day. Cerwin and I were on the welcome committee. When we realized that there was need for a second table, we asked […]
Tuesday, August 6 The day after Amos and his crew cut down two of our large ash trees, a lumber truck came to pick up the largest logs. Cerwin was fascinated that the mechanical “jaws/clamper” did not go around the logs, but gripped them as seen in this shot. He took the pictures, because I […]
Monday, August 5 I never like to post about cutting down trees, but our Ash trees continue to die from the Emerald ash borer. 🙁 The two trees that were being cut down on this day were tall and close to the house, so Amos rented a large crane. Amos’ brother was helping him and […]
Sunday Evening, August 4 What fun to be invited – and attend – our great-granddaughter Jade’s birthday party. It was a beautiful evening at Dustan, Jenna and Jade’s house. Dustan was grilling hamburgers and hot dogs when we arrived. Dustan and Jenna chose a bee-themed party. Many think that Jade looks like her Aunt Valarae […]
