Our son Jeff’s old Chevy His son-in-law Donovan was right behind him. Diana (Donovan’s wife and Jeff’s daughter) brought up the rear of this threesome. It looks […]
Graduation Party for Gloria
Sunday Evening, June 23 Jordan was grilling hamburgers and chicken when we arrived. Everyone loved meeting Alpha – Donovan and Diana’s new puppy. Deb is an animal magnet, so was one of the first to hold him. Jeff, Jade, Alpha and Gloria Gloria and another graduate friend were the first to be served when supper […]
Birds & Blossoms
Things that captured my attention last week.
New Growth
Remember when I posted this picture from June 9 – of corn being planted in the field below us? This is what it looked like the other day – nine days later – after weekly rains and humidity. Soil (or dirt) is an interesting study and is far from what appears to be a dead […]
TFC a Vital Ministry to the Professional Drivers
The other day Transport For Christ had a Zoom Video Conference. (This is a picture of Bunny, Ron, Mike and Joe in the office board room – on my computer screen.) We could see each participant’s name on top of the screen – and their pictures if they had a camera on their computer. We […]
Mushrooms in Our Yard
Thursday, June 20 Yesterday, when I went to the mailbox in the early morning, I thought, “Wow, with this humidity there have to be mushrooms in our yard.” Sure enough I found a great variety. I am not a connoisseur of mushrooms, so I never learned which are edible and which are not. They tell […]
Happy 1st Birthday to Our Favorite Nicodemus
We love you! Great Grandpa & Great Grandma High
Ian, Jared, and Jesse are Here
It is so easy to keep them these days since they basically take care of themselves. Jesse was pleased when a package arrived for him the other day. It was his first new cell phone. He previously had a hand-me-down from his oldest brother, Josh. It amazes me that he was able to set it […]
Pretty Things in Our Yard
I am pleased with the Dwarf Sunflower I bought the other week. It had only one bloom when I brought it home. The daylilies are looking pretty. We will soon have lots of daisies. I don’t know what this is, but it comes up in the memory garden every year. The yucca blossoms are beautiful. […]
TFC Chapel at Macungie Truck Show ~ Day 2
Saturday, June 15 We started our day in the Food Court area with egg sandwiches. The boys did not find any more 1969 or 1970 trucks (their parent’s birth years) so I took a few pictures of interesting trucks – among the field of 845. Somebody did a good chainsaw carving to make this bulldog. […]
Notes from Sunday Worship
Sunday, June 16 Sunday school – The New Covenant’s Sacrifice Teacher – Gary Stevens The Old Covenant was a “bloody” covenant. Blood flows through the Bible like it flows through our veins. Without blood the solution to our salvation is dead. To see blood – someone or something must be injured. Praise God for the […]
Macungie – Antique Truck Show
Friday, June 14 This is one of my favorite places to take TFC’s mobile chapel. Maybe it’s because we are there for two days, so there is plenty of time to see the trucks and meet lots of people. Our view from the chapel door. This year we had Jared and Jesse along, because their […]
Father’s Day Lunch
Sunday, June 16 Because Jere and Kristen are Prague – their three youngest are staying with us. Their children needed someone to honor on Father’s Day, so Jana, Austin, Ian, Jared, and Jesse took us to Hoss’s for lunch. You can tell I forgot my good camera and had to use my cell phone. 🙂 […]
Happy Birthday to Our Favorite Nathan
We love you! Grandpa & Grandma High
Morning After the Rain
Monday, June 10 I enjoy a morning walk on our patio, especially after an evening rain. The Euphorbia (not sure what variety) looked pretty . I bought this last year, not knowing what it was, and not knowing that it was a perennial. I was glad to see it coming to life again this spring. […]
Favorite Summer Sandwich
Sunday Evening, June 9 I grilled tomato/cheese/bacon open-faced sandwiches for supper. It is one of our favorite evening meals – especially with fresh, local tomatoes. #1 Turn the oven on broil. #2 Lightly butter one side of a piece of bread, then put the buttered side on a cookie sheet. Broil ’til lightly toasted. #3 […]
