Ian’s Car
Oh, what fun to see Ian and his (new to him) car. He stopped in this evening to sell subs for the band and show us his 2008 Mazda 6. For many years he was part of our “little boys” threesome – Ian, Jared, and Jesse – as they are our three youngest grandchildren. I […]
Beautiful Sunset
Sometimes I think there should be instrumental music with beautiful sunsets. I wonder what kind of instrument God would use – harp, guitar, piano, organ, trumpet or something else. What do you think. Which instrument would go with this sunset?
Busy Spider
A busy little spider gets our attention most evenings as it spins its web right in front of the outside camera lens. The camera beeps with any movement, so we get a lot of little beeps. 🙂 On this picture the spider is in the upper right part of the screen – just above the […]
Going to Benezette to see the Elk
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 […]
Morning Fog
I love waking up to a new day – especially when there is morning fog.
High Family Supper
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 two empty spots were filled shortly after I took this picture with a fresh fruit tray and a meat and cheese dish. What prompted this get-together was that Cerwin’s […]
Fields
I am still getting used to looking out our windows and seeing fields with only corn stalk stubbles. Meanwhile our Amish neighbor is preparing the soil and seeding the next crop.

Amish Tour with Our Sunday School Class
Thursday, September 19 Our meeting place was Bird-in-Hand Restaurant for a noon buffet-style meal. First on the agenda was a class photo. We were missing several couples who were not able to join us.

Field Work Last Week
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 […]
Focus on the Sky
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 […]
Notes from Sunday Worship

A Review of Our Fourteen-Day Trip to Bryce Canyon, Utah
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 […]
