Sunrise at the Beach
Friday Moring, July 26 Jere took this selfie of us shortly after we arrived at the beach. We had gotten up just before 5 am so we could leave the house by 5:30 to see the 5:50 sunrise. Looking back on the row of houses from which we had just arrived. Our walkway to the […]
Notes from Sunday Worship
Sunday, July 28 Sunday school ~ Subject: Spiritual Discernment Teacher: John Diffenderfer Jesus tells us to be discerning, but not judgmental. Why was that important to Jesus as he trained his disciples? Because Jesus cares about our heart and our attitudes. Church ~ Scripture: John 3:14-36. Preacher: David Wenger In John 3 Jesus helps us […]
Ocean City, New Jersey
Thursday, July 25 Jere and Kristen rented half of a beach house (right side) for their family – for a week – and when they knew they would have an empty bedroom some of the time, they invited us to come for a night or two. We chose two nights – Thursday and Friday. It […]
Hershey Reunion
Sunday, July 21 By Sunday morning we were set up for sixty people to have lunch in our garage and house. It was a brutally hot day, so we tried out our air conditioning system by keeping all doors and windows closed. (We were pleased that it worked quite well.) We found space for the […]
I Should Not Have Learned About Duck Donuts
Our grandson Jared was here overnight last Saturday – before going on a mission trip to Juniata County – while his parents went to Ocean City for the week. He went along with us to Lancaster for a few things we needed for Sunday, and when we drove by Duck Donuts, I asked if he […]
Our Sunday School Class “Picnic”
Friday, July 19 Due to the intense heat in our area – close to 100 degrees – our Sunday school class picnic was moved inside. Everyone chose something (from a menu) to bring to the meal. The beef barbecue sandwiches or sloppy Joes were to the left of the picture. As you can see, nobody […]
Sweet Frog for Dessert
Monday Evening, July 15 When finishing our meal at Ichiban, Jenna said, “We should go to Sweet Frog for dessert.” We agreed that was a great idea – and it was just a short drive to another shopping center. Making yogurt and topping choices. I enjoyed seeing everyone’s choice. Me – I just like plain […]
Ichiban for Supper
This was the restaurant of choice for Nathan and Dustan for their 2019 birthdays. Nate, Lauree, Cerwin, Jenna, and Dustan. While taking this picture the other man at our table offered to take a shot that included me. (There was a father and son with us because each table serves eight.) Cerwin’s Pepsi and my […]
Biankah’s Last Evening With Us
Sunday, July 14 It was a beautiful Sunday evening – and Biankah’s parents were coming home – so Diane and I tried to capture a few more pictures. We were back in the house with Lydia, knowing that Josiah and Becky would soon be here – following their honeymoon. We didn’t tell Biankah that her […]
Love My Country Life
First: I love seeing this across the road from our house. The butternut squash are a new crop for our Amish neighbors – and it appears to be a lot of work. The beautiful blossoms look toward our house each morning because we are east of the field. There are squash everywhere. Second: I love […]
Butterflies, Bumble Bees & a Mushroom
Sunday, July 14 Diane and Biankah were out in yard – near the Memory Garden – when Diane noticed several Swallowtail butterflies and told me to get my camera. When there I noticed that the Bumblebees were also enjoying the gooseneck flowers. As I walked across the yard, I noticed this unusual mushroom. It was […]
High Family Reunion
Sunday, July 14 Cerwin’s cousin John was grilling hamburgers and hot dogs when we arrived at High Sports – owned by John’s parents Sam and Betty. Cerwin’s oldest living aunt – Alice on the left – making choices at the food table with the help of her son Eric. If I remember correctly, she is […]
Hunter Keystone Diesel Nationals
Saturday, July 13 It was the first year this show was held at Lebanon Expo, which made it closer for us to take the chapel (FaithLife Center) and represent TFC Global. There were a lot of Peterbilt trucks since Hunter Truck was a Title Sponsor. I should have had someone stand next to this truck […]
Great-Grandchildren with Us
Friday, July 12 During Diane’s week here – following the wedding – she gave Biankah and Anthony the opportunity to spend a few days together. Diane kept Biankah while Josiah and Becky went on a short honeymoon. This threesome decided to walk to the farm. I took these pictures just before 9 am. They must […]
