Rest in the Lord and be willing to wait for Him. Psalm 37:7 (NLV)
Friday, September – 11:00 AM Getting photos for the BDRA committee is a delightful project for me – partly because it gets me away from my daily routine. Having done this for several years, I am always challenged to get something different from the year before. The Heifer Auction is usually my first project, because […]
Wednesday, October 2 Jordan called us about a week ago and asked if we were interested in a day trip to Potter County. (Yes, we were interested.) He wanted to show us where he goes hunting and wanted to see where Cerwin went hunting – for fifty years – from 1957 to 2007. Jordan and […]
Sunday, September 29 Sunday School – Teacher: John Diffenderfer – Faithful in Consequences – Numbers 14:10b-20 We all face the law of sowing and reaping. Good or bad.

Saturday Evening, September 28 The Sauder family enjoys the privilege of using a recreation room at Landis Homes (Lititz, PA) – at no cost – because several Sauder family members live on campus. This is the beautiful entrance area to the room. One of these years I am going to buy a popcorn plant (Popcorn […]
Oh, what fun to see Ian and his (new to him) car. He stopped in this evening to sell subs for the band and show us his 2008 Mazda 6. For many years he was part of our “little boys” threesome – Ian, Jared, and Jesse – as they are our three youngest grandchildren. I […]
Sometimes I think there should be instrumental music with beautiful sunsets. I wonder what kind of instrument God would use – harp, guitar, piano, organ, trumpet or something else. What do you think. Which instrument would go with this sunset?
A busy little spider gets our attention most evenings as it spins its web right in front of the outside camera lens. The camera beeps with any movement, so we get a lot of little beeps. 🙂 On this picture the spider is in the upper right part of the screen – just above the […]
Tuesday, September 24 My sister, Nancy, messaged me on Monday evening, saying, “I know this is late notice, but would you be interested in going to see the elk tomorrow?” Within minutes it was arranged, because it suited us – and we were interested. 🙂 We left our house about 12:30 pm for the 3-4 […]
I love waking up to a new day – especially when there is morning fog.
Sunday Evening, September 22 Cerwin’s siblings, our children, and nieces and nephews always bring a delicious array of food when we have a carry-in meal. The two empty spots were filled shortly after I took this picture with a fresh fruit tray and a meat and cheese dish. What prompted this get-together was that Cerwin’s […]
I am still getting used to looking out our windows and seeing fields with only corn stalk stubbles. Meanwhile our Amish neighbor is preparing the soil and seeding the next crop.

Thursday, September 19 Our meeting place was Bird-in-Hand Restaurant for a noon buffet-style meal. First on the agenda was a class photo. We were missing several couples who were not able to join us. As I was setting up the photo, our tour guide, Joanne, arrived and offered to take the photo so I could […]
The farmers are busy in our area – especially across the road from us. Our Amish neighbor was spreading manure on Monday, September 16. As you can see by his clothing – it was a warm morning. Wednesday evening – two days later – they began harvesting the corn on our family farm. They were […]
Things I saw in the sky during the past few days The other afternoon as we were going to our local garage – to pick up our car following its inspection – we saw this pretty reflection of the sun behind the clouds. A few nights ago I realized there was a pretty sunset in […]

Sunday Evening, September 15 We arrived at Enck’s Banquet Center in Manheim about 5:15 pm. for our 5:30 pm supper. The entrance area is beautifully decorated. We had a great evening with many who were our teenage friends – in the late 50s and early 60s – the reason we are called “The Old Gang”. […]
