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. Crystal is Elvin (Cerwin’s brother) and Pat’s daughter. Crystal used an online signup format for the food meaning we had a nice variety of good food. […]
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. 🙂
Road Trip Day 16 – Traveling Home – From North Olmsted, Ohio to Home
~~~ Tuesday, August 10 ~~~ We were on the road shortly after 7:00 AM for our last day of this road trip. It was a bit cloudy and there was lots of morning work traffic. Traffic became lighter as we moved away from the Cleveland area. I always enjoy seeing mist in the mountains as […]
Road Trip Day 15 – Traveling Home – From Alpena, Michigan to North Olmsted, Ohio
~~~ Monday, August 9 ~~~ After leaving our motel we drove south, with Lake Huron to our left. There were signs that autumn is coming. I enjoyed that some of our morning drive took us right by the lake, with many summer homes and resorts. I treasured the last sights of Lake Huron knowing we […]
Road Trip Day 14 – Traveling From Mackinac Island to Alpena, Michigan
~~~ Sunday, August 8 ~~~ We woke up to a cloudy, rainy Sunday morning on Mackinac Island. I took my cup of coffee to the second floor balcony (near our room) and watched the happenings down on the street. It was fairly quiet but there were a few people and carriages. This carriage appears to […]
