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.
Notes from Sunday Worship

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
Sunday, September 15 – Sunday School – Teacher: Dustan Rohrer Faithful with Little Be faithful. Be someone your friends can count on. We live in an instant culture.

Old Gang Get Together
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”. […]
Singing on the Farm
Saturday, September 14 – 15th Annual Bluegrass Gospel We have never been able to attend this local event, but this year the date was open – and it happened to be our anniversary. It was a drizzly morning, but they are well prepared for any kind of day. The Musser’s go to a lot of […]
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 […]

Today is Our 56th Wedding Anniversary
Fifty-six years! We were so young and somehow thought we would stay that way. 🙂 Little did we know in 1963 what would be ahead of us. It kind of frustrates me when people say, but it has been so easy for you. Everything has been easy for you. We raised four children. Those of […]
