Happy Birthday to Our Favorite Anthony
We love you! Great-Grandpa & Great-Grandma High.
Pretty Birds
May is one of my favorite bird-watching months because of the variety of birds at our feeders. Indigo Bunting Photobomber! Cardinal Catbird Goldfinch I put our hummingbird feeder out the other day, and within half-an-hour there was one feeding. I didn’t even know they were back in our area. Notice the difference in her feet […]
Cleveland Clinic ~ Day 4
Thursday, May 2 We woke up to a foggy morning. We were impressed that the doctor came fairly early in the morning and gave Marlin his walking papers. The doctor knew we had a six-hour drive so made sure he had an early release. Marlin said, “I am out of here!” Our last ride in […]
Cleveland Clinic ~ Day 3
Wednesday, May 1 We enjoyed walking the few blocks to the hospital on our third day in Cleveland. These busses – with accordion middles – were a common sight in the city. Marlin’s blood pressure was still high for most of the morning, but after they changed a medication, it began coming down. He was […]
Happy Birthday to Our Favorite Lauree
We love you! Grandpa and Grandma High
Cleveland Clinic ~ Day 2
Tuesday, April 30 This was my view at 5:30 am – from the ninth floor of our hotel. I took this picture just before 7 am. A view out the corner window. Marlin and Nancy were across the hall, so their view was quite different from ours. Marlin asked Cerwin to come watch the traffic […]
Cleveland Clinic ~ Day 1
Monday, April 29 The purpose of this trip was to take my sister, Nancy, and her husband, Marlin, to Cleveland Clinic for his six-week checkup following complicated heart surgery. He was hoping to get permission to drive – and sit in the front seat of a car – following this checkup. I took this picture […]
Birthday Supper
Friday Evening, April 26 We celebrated Cerwin’s birthday a few days late – after Jeff and Chris’ family got home from a Tennessee vacation. We were sad that Roy was sick that evening and could not come to Outback Steakhouse – Cerwin’s restaurant of choice. Jeff, Cerwin, Jere, Kristen, Chris, and Deb. Steak was the […]
It’s Snowing Pink
Thursday, April 25 Cerwin said, “Look outside, It’s snowing pink.” The source of this pink “snow” was our cherry tree. I found the neatest, tiny cherry tree when I was looking for pink snow. At first I thought it was a tiny, fallen branch, then I saw that it was growing out of the tree […]
In Memory of Mother Hershey
Thursday, April 25 We bought a young Cleveland Pear tree to plant in memory of my step-mother, Velma Hershey. Special thanks to our children who gave us money as a memorial gift to purchase something in her memory. We planted it in the flower bed in the center of our driveway. We look forward to […]
Happy Birthday to Our Favorite Kristen
We love you! Daddy & Mother High
Brilliant Sunrise
Thursday, April 25 The sunrise lit up our entire valley. These last two shots are looking to the east – right at the sun. It was a breath-taking morning.
Memorial Flowers From Inge
Tuesday, April 23 Inge, you asked if the tulips bloomed at your cat’s graves. I missed getting those under the large bush (they were about over when I went to check), but those in the lower yard near the rocks were pretty – as well as the daffodils. They certainly add to the beauty of […]
Notes from Sunday Worship
Sunday, April 28 Sunday School – “Called to Make Disciples” Teacher: Dustan Rohrer (our grandson-in-law) Jesus has the authority to tell us to “fish” for people – or make disciples. We don’t always like directions from authority, but we need authority. Imagine an airport without authority: pilots could pick any runway and leave whenever they […]
Jesse and Me
Monday, April 29 I received a phone call from our youngest grandson, Jesse, this morning asking if he could interview me this afternoon for a school project. I said, “Sure, but we will be in Cleveland.” We were on the Pennsylvania Turnpike – taking my sister, Nancy, and her husband to the Cleveland Clinic when […]
Red Lobster for Cerwin’s Birthday
Monday, April 22 We had a gift card for Red Lobster from my birthday party (Thanks, Elvin and Pat) that we decided to use for Cerwin’s birthday meal. They have the best warm, buttered, seasoned biscuits! Cerwin’s salad. He chose Maple Glazed Chicken, while I had a cup of lobster bisque and corn on the […]
Easter Sunday Supper
April 21 Jere and Kristen always set a beautiful table. Kristen asked Tucker to cut some finger Jell-O crosses and bunnies. How many brothers does it take to fix the hammock canopy? It was Jesse’s turn to learn how to cast for fly fishing. The Amish were going home from their Easter lunch. Jere taking […]
Easter Sunday Walk – Part 3
April 21 When I got to the end of the second road, I noticed that the Dull family was also enjoying the beautiful day – playing Bocce. While talking to our niece (with the Dull family) I noticed the Ebersole family coming toward us – also enjoying the warm weather. They were heading to see […]
