Anthony made a ramp for his new remote control truck. With all three of Nate and Abby’s children: Anthony, Natalie and Jasmine. Anthony wanted to make sure that Meco got on the […]
Open House for PaulB Hardware – Mechanicsburg, PA
~~~ Wednesday, September 1 ~~~ It was the day it rained! We usually go to our local PaulB Hardware, but this was Open House for the Mechanicsburg store and our son Jere had been involved in its construction from the very beginning. Cerwin goes to our local PaulB so often that I tell people – […]
Rain!
~~~ Wednesday, September 1 ~~~ I expect most of you heard that we had a lot of rain yesterday here in the northeast. 🙂 We had rain almost all day long, causing minor and major flooding in our area. We are okay because we aren’t real close to any creeks or rivers, but the rain […]
It’s That Time of Year
…when the corn is so high we can only see tall vehicles that are traveling on the road between the two fields.
Ichiban Restaurant with Our Children
~~~ Sunday, August 29 ~~~ Cerwin, Jere, Kristen, Diane, Jeff, Chris, Deb, Roy. (We missed you, Mark.) Because Diane is here for a week, we thought it would be fun to take our children out for a meal to celebrate our upcoming anniversary. We had four open days and a variety of times, but Sunday […]
Plaza Azteca with Diane and Josiah
~~~ Saturday Evening, August 28 ~~~ Diane came here from Maine during the night on Thursday. She came with friends who dropped her off at Josiah’s place in the early morning. Since this might be the only time for her to be with him (their son), she spent Friday at his house until he got […]
Winross & Model Trucks
~~~ Saturday, August 28 ~~~ We had 212 Winross and model trucks in boxes in our home office – donated for TFC’s 2020 Truck Rally auction – which didn’t happen because of COVID. Sometime after deciding to bring the Rally’s to a permanent close earlier this year, we remembered that we had all these Winross […]

A Week of Funerals & Goodbyes
It has been a sobering week for us – after attending four funeral visitations between Saturday, August 21 and Friday, August 27. I always pray for words of love and comfort when I talk to family members and am aware that no words can take away their pain. First there was Vernon – my step-brother […]
Follow Up On Cutting Daisies, Hosta and Daylilies Down to the Ground
Remember when I showed you several pictures of Cerwin cutting our daisies, Hosta and daylilies down to nothing by using a hedge-trimmer? That was July 19. Some of you had never heard of trimming them that way – after the daisies were finished blooming and the Hosta and daylilies were beginning to show summer wear. […]
Happy Birthday to Our Favorite Deb

Stormy Sunset
~~~ Saturday, August 21 ~~~ As I walked toward the sunset, this Mourning Dove kept its eye on me. The sky was filled with a variety of scenes and clouds as I glanced from south to north. Due west was brilliant orange. There were dark foreboding clouds high in the sky. We have had many […]
Cerwin’s New Toy
~~~ Monday, August 16 ~~~ I’m not sure when Cerwin decided it was time to clean out the roof spouting in this method. Maybe he realized that he is getting too old to be climbing on the house roof, or maybe it was the protesting he received from his wife every time she realized he […]
High Family Lunch
~~~ Sunday, August 15 at Jakey and Crystal’s ~~~ We had a good turnout of Cerwin’s siblings, their children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. Jakey and Crystal’s were the hosts.

A Storm Welcomed Us Home
~~~ Tuesday Evening, August 10 ~~~ We were home from our trip only a few hours when storm clouds began approaching. Rain is coming! Rain was a nice welcome home. 🙂
