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.
Sunday, September 22 How big is your God? – Challenge from Rol Longenecker – Sunday school superintendent Sunday School: Teacher: Nevin Ebersole – Faithful Despite Unfaithfulness – Numbers 12:1-2, 17-18, 25-28 Do we have moments of faith or a life of faith?

We love you! Daddy & Mother
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, September 15 – Sunday School – Teacher: Dustan Rohrer Faithful with Little Be faithful. Be someone your friends can count on. We live in an instant culture.

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”. […]
Saturday, September 14 – 15th Annual Bluegrass Gospel We have never been able to attend this local event, but this year the date was open – and it happened to be our anniversary. It was a drizzly morning, but they are well prepared for any kind of day. The Musser’s go to a lot of […]
This trip – with Bryce Canyon as our ultimate goal – began last Christmas (2018) when Cerwin and I discussed Christmas gifts. His gift of choice was an all-interstate-trip. I chose Bryce Canyon as the destination, he planned the route (I-70 west and I-80 east). LICENSE PLATES: During down times of driving or in city […]
Wednesday, September 11 – Youngstown, Ohio to Home The view from our motel window shortly after 7 am. I never like going home from a vacation, but seeing this sign helps prepare me the end of a fabulous vacation. 🙂 It’s good to see our Pennsylvania mountains. It is also good to see signs of […]
Tuesday, September 10 – Lafayette, Indiana to Youngstown, Ohio As you can see, it was a beautiful morning when we left our motel in Lafayette – about 7:50 am. I love when the GPS puts us on a back road and takes us through local towns. My notes tell me we were going through Huntington, […]

The above photo is a pretty fountain we saw just a few minutes after leaving our motel. Monday morning […]
Fifty-six years! We were so young and somehow thought we would stay that way. 🙂 Little did we know in 1963 what would be ahead of us. It kind of frustrates me when people say, but it has been so easy for you. Everything has been easy for you. We raised four children. Those of […]
