Morning Walk – Evening Storm
~~~ Thursday, September 7 ~~~ The temperatures were in the 90s last week, so I usually took a walk in the morning. I thought it was time to show you what is happening to the corn fields. As you can see, it is soon time for harvest if it is going to be chopped for […]
Morning Light
When I looked out our bathroom window the other morning and saw evidence that the sun had come up that morning, it immediately took me back to when I was a young woman and read my first book by Harold Bell Wright – Shepherd of the Hills. I was fascinated how he described the light […]
It Was a Beautiful Morning
I tried but could not capture the beauty of the dawn yesterday. I just loved the atmosphere when standing outside looking across our valley. There was a bit of a haze that looked like it went above the homestead. Then, within seconds the sky became pink. This was the view about half an hour later. […]
Birthday Supper with Zach and Gloria
~~~ September 3 5 pm ~~~ Their choice for a restaurant was Belvedere Inn on North Queen Street in Lancaster. From the Internet: Opened in 1998, The Belvedere Inn has always been a fun and relaxed place to enjoy life, food family, and friends, old and new. This Victorian Italianate-style city mansion was built in […]
A Birthday Lunch for Ian
~~~ Sunday, September 3 ~~~ It’s always delightful to eat at Jere and Kristen’s house, because either one may try anything – probably from “scratch”. These are homemade noodles. While she made sure the noodles were al dente, Jere was grilling chicken to perfection. Sitting around the birthday table: Left to Right – Cerwin, Josh, […]
Gospel Music at American Music Theatre
~~~ Saturday, September 2 2 pm ~~~ We are privileged to receive 2 free tickets each year, and usually choose Saturday afternoon so we don’t have to drive home at night. Brian Free & Assurance were the first group. They are celebrating thirty years of singing. We thoroughly enjoyed their songs. The second group was […]
Church Activities
We’ve had a lot going on at White Oak Church during the past three weeks. Some of these photos happened because Cerwin and I are on our church’s 2024 Photo Directory along with Rol and Carolyn Longenecker, Tyler and Brieanna Heisey and Brian and Amy Heisey. That means I am taking lots of candid photos […]
Blue Moon
I missed getting a photo of the Blue Moon on August 30, but was able to capture it a day later. By this time it is a Waning Gibbous I used a variety of settings to see which one l liked best. I really don’t have a preference, so will post four of them. A […]
Supper with Sam
~~~ Saturday, August 26 ~~~ Sam Rittenhouse called earlier in the day to see if we had any supper plans. We didn’t, and it was nice to go out with him on the evening of the anniversary of our first date – 62 years ago. Sam and Me – photo by Cerwin Sam had never […]
Jared’s 2000 Lexus
You know you have a really cool grandson when he chooses a 2000 Lexus LS 400 for his first car. He brought it to our house the other evening for Grandpa’s approval. 🙂 Grandpa approved! We wish our dads were still living. They loved to drive a Lexus when they worked at the Manheim Auto […]
Swimming at Refreshing Mountain
~~~ Tuesday, August 22 3 pm ~~~ It has been an unusual summer with the death of our granddaughter Hannah and our trip to Belgium, but I was finally able to organize a swimming day at Refreshing Mountain to celebrate our local great-grandchildren’s 2023 birthdays. In the background you see Abby taking care of their […]
Field Corn
I went for a walk the other day to show you what it looks like when looking at our house on a late summer day. Our house is on the right BEHIND all the corn. 🙂 Along the road, the corn looks tall and healthy. Some of the farmers are saying the ears have not […]
Happy Birthday to Our Favorite Ian

Zucchini Soup
If you follow my blog and enjoyed our recent trip to Belgium, you may remember that I chose zucchini soup when we visited the Inn at Bokrijk – the open-air museum of 1900s historical buildings. I decided then to try to replicate the soup because I found it to be delicious. I am a fan […]
Supper with Dustan and Jenna
~~~ Wednesday, August 16 6 pm ~~~ We were waiting for Dustan and Jenna at Iron Hill Restaurant in Lancaster when they arrived just before 6 pm – for a 2023 birthday meal. It was fun that they brought their baby Harper along. Nate and Lauree were keeping Jade and Drake. They chose hot soft […]
