Thursday, August 15 and Friday August 16 We found ourselves following the rented trailer again – left – as we headed to Potter County, PA. Notice the big load on the trailer to the right. 🙂 This rig did have a big load. Now we are on my kind of road – a back country […]

Happy Birthday to Our Favorite Becky
We love you! Grandpa & Grandma High
Tuesdays with Friends
Our friend Lois has been in the hospital or rehab since mid-May. When life slowed down for us, following the truck rally in late June, I asked their daughters if there was anything we could do to help. Their daughter Darlene said the biggest need was for help on Tuesdays. Cerwin took Harold to the […]
The Continuing Saga of Our Trees
Tuesday, August 13 Amos was back to finish the job he started the previous week – cutting down more dead ash trees. None of these were super large, close or leaning toward the house, so he could use his own equipment, and did not have to rent the crane. I was not home during most […]

Removal of Our Tree’s Large Logs
Tuesday, August 6 The day after Amos and his crew cut down two of our large ash trees, a lumber truck came to pick up the largest logs. Cerwin was fascinated that the mechanical “jaws/clamper” did not go around the logs, but gripped them as seen in this shot. He took the pictures, because I […]
Saying Goodbye to a Few More Ash Trees
Monday, August 5 I never like to post about cutting down trees, but our Ash trees continue to die from the Emerald ash borer. 🙁 The two trees that were being cut down on this day were tall and close to the house, so Amos rented a large crane. Amos’ brother was helping him and […]
Jade’s 1st Birthday
Sunday Evening, August 4 What fun to be invited – and attend – our great-granddaughter Jade’s birthday party. It was a beautiful evening at Dustan, Jenna and Jade’s house. Dustan was grilling hamburgers and hot dogs when we arrived. Dustan and Jenna chose a bee-themed party. Many think that Jade looks like her Aunt Valarae […]
Will Post Again on Sunday

TFC Chaplains Picnic

Since we were a bit early, we stopped at TFC’s Harrisburg Chapel – located at Wilco Travel Plaza at I-81, Exit 77. Associate Chaplain Ed was on duty and was working on his daily reports before going […]
A Memorial Service for My Cousin Tim
Saturday, August 3 https://lancasteronline.com/obituaries/timothy-j-hawthorne-sr/article_cdc0b75d-92d7-53e2-bb3d-26f94ad60567.html It is a bit sobering to see the obituary of a younger cousin. When we arrived at the funeral home for his memorial service, it was obvious that he was a motorcycle fan. 🙂 Many of his cycle friends came to pay tribute to him. Following the funeral meal, and enjoying […]
Corn ~ Lots of Corn
Friday Morning, August 2 Our niece Karen (left) called to say they were husking corn at the farm – and I could come get some if I wanted corn for supper. So, I grabbed my camera as I sensed a good photo opportunity. L to R: Karen, Ashlea, Fern, Nancy, Lindsey, Earl, Marian, Miranda, Heidi. […]
