Saturday Evening, November 9 The title of this post is a play on words from the book “How Green Was My Valley”. I am not sure I ever read the 1939 novel by Richard Llewellyn, or watched the movie based on the book, but I always liked the title. Maybe because I have lived in […]
Friday Evening, November 8 We were honored to be invited to attend The Collingsworth Family concert by our friends Gene and Rose Gehman. We may have missed that it was happening if they had not invited us on a double date. If you have never watched Kim Collingsworth play piano and wonder how her fingers […]
We love you! Grandpa & Grandma High
The birds have not had to come to our feeders the past few months because of all the grain in the fields – plus some of them were living north of us – but now they are back. The House Finches have been here all summer, but rarely needed to come to the feeders. I […]
We had fun with Anthony the other day while his mom took baby Jasmine to the doctor for a routine visit. After watching two Paw Patrol shows, we spent an hour on the floor with a construction and trucking “business”. I had the supplies, he drove truck or train to deliver things to a zoo […]
Sunday, November 3 We always enjoy being invited to their birthday party – because we get to visit with Jakey and Crystal’s family. Crystal’s mom (left) is our sister-in-law (married to Cerwin’s brother). Jakey and Crystal (Peyton and Bailey’s parents) had a delicious variety of food for supper. Bailey and Peyton with their birthday cupcakes. […]
We love you! Daddy and Mother High
Saturday, November 2 Cerwin came home from the grocery store with a bouquet of flowers for me. He knows I like flowers in the house when the weather is cold outside. I teased him, “So what did you do wrong?” He smiled and said, “They are just in case I do something wrong.” 🙂 The […]
Saturday Morning, November 2 As I watched another pretty sunrise a few days ago, I thought, “It looks like bare branches are in style again.” It appears that the squirrels have not yet captured all the shellbarks or hickory nuts. The morning reminded me of how much I enjoy living in an area of the […]
White Oak Church of the Brethren Sunday Morning, October 27 through Sunday Evening, November 3 Evangelist: Dale Bollinger Theme Verse: 2 Peter 3:18 Since this was a week-long series, I posted a few highlights from each service. Sunday School – Sunday, October 27 – Teacher: Joe Cassel – Grateful Faith – Luke 7:37-48 We underestimate […]
Saturday, November 2 Cerwin and I were pleased to be home so we could watch (via RFD TV) Travis and Stephanie receive their American FFA Degree in Indianapolis. They are the bride and groom who got married this summer in the meadow at the Hershey Family Homestead. I took these pictures on the TV. 🙂 […]
Wednesday, October 30 It was a beautiful day for a full schedule. First we drove to TFC Global’s International Office near Marietta, PA, for a meeting with President Ron Fraser. We enjoy having opportunity to meet with him and learn more about his heart for the ministry. After leaving the office – about 11:30 am […]
Tuesday, October 29 I love Cerwin’s creativity and enjoy calling it our redneck leaf-catcher. It sure beats raking leaves. 🙂
October 27 What fun we had having lunch with these three: Deb, Roy, and Jordan. This was to celebrate Roy and Jordan’s 2019 birthdays. We had a fun and flamboyant chef. He made lots of noise when displaying his utensils. The lady on the right is the one who took the picture of the five […]
Friday evening, October 25 The historic building on West Market Street in Marietta has gone through a number of reincarnations in the past 200 years. Built in 1792, the log structure was first a home, and then a tea shop, French restaurant, sports bar and tavern. Now, it’s Nick’s Bistro. We like to go to new […]
Friday, October 25 It was fun having Mark and Diane visit from Maine for several days last week. When they noticed our Amish tour (on my blog) the other week and saw the camels that are milked, Mark mentioned an interest in tasting camel milk. I was up for that, because I like taking advantage […]
Wednesday, October 23 You might think I would be used to seeing sunrises each fall when the sun has moved to a position that means we can watch it from our living room window. However, I still watch them with awe and feel like I should be singing, “Morning Has Broken.” Morning has broken, like […]
