Rest in the Lord and be willing to wait for Him. Psalm 37:7 (NLV)
Wednesday, May 15 We noticed lots of beauty as we drove home from T.J. Rockwell’s after enjoying the birthday supper (previous post). A jet in the sky Evening moon I enjoyed traveling on a back road that was not familiar to me. I noticed this unusual fungi on a tree near our place and told […]
We love you! Grandpa & Grandma High

You may remember that I showed this partially stitched truck to you earlier this year. It is a really neat old Chevy owned by Jeff and Chris. I finished it a few weeks ago and took it to AC Moore for framing. It looks nice in our living room.
Catbird House Finch This wren was singing at the top of its lungs. A mourning dove was trying to figure out what happened to the ground feeder. I expect a squirrel or raccoon knocked it down. Female cardinal enjoying birdseed in the warm, morning sunshine A blue jay getting a drink. See ya later
Sunday, May 12 Diane, Jere, Deb, and Jeff Mother’s Day is always a mixture of emotions for me – love for our four children and what a delight it is to be their mother and go through life with them and their spouses – their children and grandchildren. It also makes me feel inadequate as […]
Sunday, May 12 Another rainy Make-A-Wish Day Waiting in line to enter Burle Industries. Notice the trucks ahead of us. The trucks behind us – in the rear-view mirror. We got set up during a period when the rain was just a drizzle. The organizers give us a great spot. Notice the fire company man-lift […]
Saturday Evening, May 11 We enjoyed a nice two-hour drive to Ric-Mar Restaurant. Spending an evening with TFC friends was even more enjoyable. Pastor Dressler opened the program with a beautiful hymn, then closed the evening with another one. Chaplain Joe Matthews (Frystown Chapel) gave an interesting ministry update. A beautiful scene on the way […]
Wednesday, May 8 Our area has been blessed with rain, so fields and yards are quite green. Farmers don’t have many open periods of time to cut and harvest crops. Eli got his hay harvested during a few sunny days last week. In our yard, the azalea are beautiful. The peppermint tea is ready for […]
We love you! Grandpa and Grandma High
Monday, May 6 When I went to the mailbox last Monday, I noticed a wire hanging from one of the large overhead wires. The wire almost touched the mail box, so I called our electric company, because I didn’t want anyone touching it. I told them it looked like an exterior wire from a large […]
Sunday, May 5 Looks like it will be a rainy day for the Make-A-Wish Convoy. I took these pictures at the TFC office while Cerwin prepared the truck for travel. An unfocused photo of rain on the truck windshield turned out to be interesting. On the road – up Chiques Hill – toward Route 30 […]
If anyone in our local area would like any ferns, ours have multiplied and are threatening to take over our memory garden. I will be glad to share some with you. They are beautiful and I love them in our woodsy lot.
We love you! Great-Grandpa & Great-Grandma High.
Thursday, May 2 We woke up to a foggy morning. We were impressed that the doctor came fairly early in the morning and gave Marlin his walking papers. The doctor knew we had a six-hour drive so made sure he had an early release. Marlin said, “I am out of here!” Our last ride in […]
Wednesday, May 1 We enjoyed walking the few blocks to the hospital on our third day in Cleveland. These busses – with accordion middles – were a common sight in the city. Marlin’s blood pressure was still high for most of the morning, but after they changed a medication, it began coming down. He was […]
We love you! Grandpa and Grandma High
Tuesday, April 30 This was my view at 5:30 am – from the ninth floor of our hotel. I took this picture just before 7 am. A view out the corner window. Marlin and Nancy were across the hall, so their view was quite different from ours. Marlin asked Cerwin to come watch the traffic […]
