The Cornfields Surrounding Our House
~~~ Wednesday, October 9 ~~~ It’s a beautiful breezy day here in northern Lancaster County. I went outside to get some pictures of the cornfield below our yard. You will notice that the beautiful green corn has quickly changed to brown tones. Because the farmer has allowed it to brown tells me that this will […]

Bluegrass – The Saturday Before I Went to the Hospital

Visitors and Thursday Happenings
Thursday, October 3 I tried to stretch my strength by walking to the mailbox to mail a birthday card. Jana was our first visitor – along with our favorite donuts.

Visitors
Wednesday, October 2 One of the benefits of getting sick is getting calls, messages and visitors. Jared and Yeira called earlier in the week, asking if they could visit and bring ice cream from Fox Meadows. Of course I said, yes. Then I said, “Why don’t we make it for your 2024 birthday supper – […]

Health Update – Something to Ponder

Hospital Update. I’m Home!
Monday, September 30 This morning, I was trying to think of something to use for today’s post, so took a picture of the board in my room. As you can see, it says I am independent. That happened yesterday afternoon, and means I no longer needed assistance to get out of bed and go to […]
Hospital Update – Sunday, September 29
When our youngest daughter, Deb was here today with her friends Leslie and Bernae, plus Bernae’s service dog Misty, she took a full picture of the room, which I liked for this evening’s post. Cerwin is on the reclining chair next to my bed, just like at home, but at home our seating positions are […]
Our Trip Home and a Hospital Visit
Tuesday, September 18 to Saturday, September 28 Our two-day trip home from northern Maine was fairly uneventful. We left the Blueberry Patch Hotel on Tuesday morning, stopped at Dysart’s Restaurant and Truck Stop in Bangor, Maine, for fuel and a bathroom break. Cerwin still had these two pictures in his cell phone from Dysart’s from […]
