~~~ Sunday, June 13 ~~~ After turning Truck Rally responsibilities over to TFC Global’s Headquarter’s Office earlier this year, the committee decided we needed a farewell picnic – just to see each other one more time and be with those who ever served on the Rally committee or were key volunteers during the years. Since […]
~~~ Wednesday, June 9 ~~~ There was a bit of a saga to this mailing, one of the largest I have ever done in total numbers – like more than 3,400. Most of the bulk mailings I do for TFC Global are between 200 and 600, sometimes 1,000 or more. I received the mailing from […]
We were just ready to watch the local news at 6:00 AM when there was a thud/boom. I momentarily thought a bird hit the window, but instantaneously our electric went off. I texted PPL (our electric company) to report it and messaged the neighbors on either side of us. Karen (to our south) said she […]
We love you! Grandpa and Grandma High Nate High | Facebook
~~~ Monday Morning, June 7 ~~~ Mark and Diane had one more day here – following Cerwin’s birthday party. After Diane met a friend here for breakfast, she said, “Mark would love the avocado toast.” It was then we decided that this location would be a good place for his 2021 birthday celebration. Diane and […]
~~~ Saturday Evening, June 5 ~~~ I am posting the following note from our daughter-in-law Kristen’s Facebook page to explain why I took these pictures. This is not my favorite way to take pictures – when someone asks me to do a photoshoot – because I am afraid they won’t be good enough. I prefer […]
~~~ Sunday Evening, June 6 ~~~ Back: Chris, Mark, Cerwin, Kristen, Roy. Front: Jeff, Diane, me, Jere, Deb. One of the first things I wanted was a picture of us with each of our children (front row) and in-loves. This is the first time in a while that all eight were in the same place […]
~~~ Sunday, June 6 ~~~ If you are surprised to see Kayla and Heze at our house – we were too! They drove up from Tennessee to surprise us for Cerwin’s 80th birthday party. They brought their own queen-sized air mattress and moved into our basement office. 🙂 As you know, Diane has been here […]
~~~ Friday Evening, June 4 ~~~ Manheim Central High School graduation was supposed to be outside, but with the “iffy” weather, it was moved to Olympic Hall at Spooky Nook Sports Complex. With his parents, Kristen and Jere With us The best I could do as he walked by our row of chairs. A rose […]
It was Diane’s last week with us (of three weeks). She was here for the birth of their granddaughter Natalie, Austin and Jana’s wedding, Hershey Family Spring Picnic and Cerwin’s 80th birthday party, plus a lot of other things we decided to do while she was here from Maine. We started June by taking her […]
I haven’t been seeing many Rose-Breasted Grosbeaks this year, so I’m treasuring the times I do. I even captured an Eastern Blue Bird in the upper left. From the Internet: The genus name of the Rose-breasted grosbeak Pheucticus comes from Ancient Greek pheuktiko, “shy”, and from pheugo, “to flee”; the specific name ludovicianus comes from […]
On one of the days that Anthony and Jasmine were here the other week, he came inside and said, “Grandma you need to do something about the ferns in the Memory Garden. I can’t even sit on any of the chairs.” 🙂 I had to admit they had taken over part of the memory garden. […]
~~~ Sunday, May 30 ~~~ We have been having unusual weekend weather recently. It is either very cold or very hot. We were in Kevin and Amy’s large equipment barn instead of in the yard like they envisioned when it was planned. 🙂 It was even too cold and rainy to open small doors. Amy […]
I have been frustrated with the skunks and raccoons that are eating birdseed – especially suet during the night. I kept finding suet holders on the ground in the morning. One morning the suet holder was even missing. It was the day we left for Heze and Kayla’s wedding in Tennessee. When we got back, […]
~~~ Lunch – Thursday, May 27 ~~~ Every now and then, I see that someone went to Terrain CafĂ©, Glen Mills, PA, so put the location in my bucket list. When we talked about it the other week Lydia suggested that we do that for her 2021 birthday. I replied, “Do you want to do […]

Photos from Diane and Cerwin’s cellphones. It is good to hold a tiny baby again. […]
