Memory
This morning we sang a song in church that I have not heard in a long time. It took me back many years – to August 1968 – when it was sung at my Grandpa Hawthorne’s funeral. (He is my mother’s father.) It was mentioned as one of his favorite songs. That is when the song Ivory Palaces also […]
The Big Snow – Evening
Saturday, January 23 I opened a garage door to see the back yard – facing east. Another garage door – facing north. Looking out a front window – facing south. The birds are standing around a tray of birdseed – on a bush – already covered with snow. A snowdrift sliding off our roof. The large tree […]

Update on Mother High
Mother has gone through several ups and downs since her hospital visit in early January. Her “trouble spot” right now is her toes where she has severe pain due to lack of circulation. That is happening because she can no longer walk. The nurses and caregivers at Landis Homes are doing a fabulous job of […]
Update on Mother High
The hospital staff withheld her breakfast just in case they had to do the scope procedure. However, her blood work and counts are looking good, so they brought her food. 🙂 Cerwin and I will be spending the afternoon with her, so I will update you later today or tonight when we have new information.

I Never Tire of Pretty Mornings
Thursday, December 10 I like how the camera captured the sun. It almost looks like a cross. A few hours later the sun was hidden by clouds and fog. Each morning has a color of its own.
Happy Birthday To Our Favorite Lydia
We love you, Grandpa & Grandma
Apple Dumplings
Wednesday, November 18 I love that our friends who like to cook and bake, sometimes bestow a tasty delight on us. Look at that! There were two of these. However, I didn’t remember to take a picture until one was eaten. Hot with milk – oh, yum. Thanks, Glenn and Rachel.

Lots of Rain
Thursday Afternoon, August 20 After a very dry, almost rain-free July and August, we were glad to hear that this was supposed to be a very rainy day. By 3:30 PM we were enjoying a downpour. By 5:00 PM our yard looked like a small river. When our rain gauge filled at five inches, Cerwin […]
Cousin’s Week – Day 1 – Great-Grandma Day – Part 2
Monday Afternoon, July 13 After leaving Great-grandma Hershey’s house, we went to Landis Homes to see Great-grandma High. Heading toward her room. We took Great-grandma for a walk to see the ducks, swans, and peafowl. There was a visitor to the pond – a great blue heron. I was pleased that it did not seem […]

In Honor of Our Fathers
My dad, Bruce Hershey, (left) and Cerwin’s dad, Elvin High, (right) were born the same year – just four months apart – and grew up during the depression. They were farmers and knew how to work long and hard. Both were godly, honest men who loved their wife and children. They became friends because their […]
