Rest in the Lord and be willing to wait for Him. Psalm 37:7 (NLV)
Monday Evening, December 17 Imagine our delight when our friend Erma Bruckhart rang the doorbell on Monday evening and presented us with a mince pie! We love mince pie. I expect it was an expression of thanks for doing a church project for her earlier in the week. Tasting it took me back to my […]
Sunday Afternoon, December 16 We enjoyed a short break following Pizza Hut, then went to the high school to see their Holiday Concert. Welcome by Mr. Joshua Weitzel, High School Principal Momentum – Stephanie Smith and Chelesa Smith, Directors Christmas Calypso – Dan Heslink String Orchestra – Shenna C. Shirk, Director Down in Yon Forest […]
Sunday, December 16 We took Jere and Kristen’s family out for lunch on Sunday to catch up on a few 2018 birthday gifts – Ian, Jared, and Jere (or Kristen). We were not able to connect with them earlier in the year. That is Ian and Jared in the background. Jere and Kristen still have […]
Friday Evening, December 14 Josiah and Lydia invited us to go along with them to Rooster Street Butcher for supper. A waitress took this picture with Cerwin’s cell phone – and almost missed Josiah. 🙂 We decided to treat Lydia for her birthday, so told her to order a good meal. Josiah likes to order […]
Saturday, December 15 We were on the road about 6 am on a rainy foggy morning. Ralph “Shorty” Clymer (Chapter Contact Person) welcomed the group to the “upper room” at Franconia Square Café and Market, Souderton, PA. We enjoyed a delicious breakfast brunch that included a variety of egg casseroles, bacon, sausage, French toast, and […]
Thursday, December 13 I was looking forward to this luncheon because I enjoy going to Nick’s Bistro in Marietta. The table was ready for us. We were early, so Inge and I took advantage of the time to take pictures of the pretty Christmas decorations. Love this little owl The office staff Retiring TFC President, […]
Our children know that this is “our song” and in various ways let us know that they remember. This year Mark and Diane gave us matching coffee cups for Christmas. 🙂
The other evening as I was preparing supper, I couldn’t resist going outside to capture the beauty. When outside, I heard this and looked up to a flock of geese who were preparing to land in a nearby field. I wanted to stop time and just stand there and take in the beauty for awhile […]
We love you! Grandpa and Grandma High
We received this really neat puzzle from Mark and Diane at our family’s Christmas celebration. Diane is good at finding unique items for gifts. She, Josiah, Abby, and Lydia put much of it together while we were in Florida – Cerwin helped on the evening we returned. I placed exactly one piece. When I mentioned […]
While we were in Florida last week, Diane took Josiah to two of his surgeons – orthopedic and skin graft. Both were pleased with his progress. The biggest change for Josiah is that his orthopedic surgeon said he may now put full weight on his right leg. His right side took the brunt of his […]
We’ve had a generous donation of cookies this year. Maybe because people know that Josiah is living with us. 🙂 This plateful came from Jeff and Chris at our family Christmas. On the same day we received 3 or 4 dozen cookies from Roy and Deb. This is a sampling of the kind they gave […]
Friday, December 7 We were on the road just as the sun was rising. Busy morning traffic Enjoy the morning beauty Sometimes I wonder what is under some of the wrapped loads. A truck load of coffee! That would keep one awake on the road. Really, it is fuel. 🙂 Virginia scenery A big load […]
Thursday, December 6 I learned about two towns in Florida that I never heard of before this trip – Wesley Chapel (location of our motel) and San Antonio (location of the chapel). We enjoyed another beautiful sunrise as we traveled north. Going by the exit where the chapel is located. It was a cold morning […]
Wednesday, December 5 Drivers, Exit 285 on I-75 is where you will find this new chapel location. It is easy to call this Dade City because it is a familiar Florida city. However, the truck stop is located much closer to San Antonio, which is the city on the street address. San Antonio sounds like […]
Tuesday, December 4 We left our motel in Savannah, Georgia, shortly after 6 am and were on the road to Ocala, Florida. Enjoy the beautiful sunrise. This is my favorite time of day to travel. We saw lots of flags at half-staff to honor George H.W. Bush. Entering the Pilot Travel Center at Ocala, Florida, […]
