Rest in the Lord and be willing to wait for Him. Psalm 37:7 (NLV)
Saturday Evening, June 8 Continued from last night’s post. We were located in the “Service Village”. The therapy animals were in front of us. This one, a Bernese Mountain Dog, is a gentle giant and larger than some ponies. 🙂 As I walked away from the therapy dogs, the train passed me on the back […]
We love you! Grandpa and Grandma High. (Now you are one-third of the way to my age. Grandma.)
Saturday Evening, June 8 Slate Hill Mennonite Church, Camp Hill, does an amazing job of reaching out to the community with their one-night event. The TFC Mobile Chapel is part of their “service village” – an area where community and ministry services have an opportunity to meet those who attend. After the village was set […]
Sunday, June 9 – Teacher Dustan Rohrer Sunday school – Jesus Seals the New Covenant – Mark 15:6-15, 26, 33-39. Dustan titled the lesson, The Greatness of God. Would I have been like Peter – denying Jesus or would I have been like John – standing with his Mother? At the cross: Some came to […]
Friday, June 7 Nancy and I look forward to these birthday breakfasts. It’s nice that our birthdays are four months apart (and nine years) – which means she takes me out in late winter and I take her out in late spring. I won’t tell you how old she is, but the numbers are the […]

Thursday Evening, June 6 Class of 2019 Commencement Ceremony at LCBC Church, Manheim, Pennsylvania. This was our first view of Gloria (center left) – on the big screen – as she entered the auditorium. They walked in two-by-two from opposite back doors to Pomp and Circumstance by Edward Elgar. Walking up the steps to the […]
Thursday, June 6 and Friday, June 7 I enjoyed watching the field work from our kitchen window on Thursday and Friday. I think this is Larry putting manure on one of his fields. A bicyclist photobombed this picture of an Amish neighbor working his field. The Amish men are using different vehicles to work their […]
Wednesday, June 5 There were twelve ladies from our Sunday school class who enjoyed a special brunch at Larry and Carol’s house. It was difficult to get a photo facing a window. Left to right: Lois, Jane, Cathy, Ruthie (hidden), Sue, Arlene, Ruth Ann, Mary, Fern, Lorraine, Dorcas, and Carol (our hostess). Jane read a […]
June 2 It was a relaxing Sunday for me, so just before 4 pm I decided to walk around the block – a two-mile commitment. The cattle at the farm are grazing in tall grass. They were not allowed in this section of pasture until after the meadow wedding the other week. The first turn […]
The southern sky looked threatening on Sunday evening. Before long rain was pounding against our windows. Then, just like that, it was over and the sun was shining through our trees. There were lots of rain puddles. This upside down leaf looked beautiful with all the rain drops. Sometimes I am amazed at simple beauty.
Friday, May 31 We were in need of Fox Meadows vanilla ice cream, so decided to have a late lunch – or was it an early supper – at the Creamery on Friday afternoon. I love their unique sandwiches, so chose a half Veggie & Mint Grilled Cheese. It was delicious! Cerwin is a bit […]
Sunday, June 2 Sunday School – “Jesus Institutes a New Covenant” Superintendent – Roland Longenecker – God is keeping His covenant to you. Are you keeping your covenant to Him when you vowed to follow Him to death. Teacher – Nevin Ebersole Jesus came to reconcile us to God. A compassion we cannot understand. A […]
Pretty roses on the patio The yucca is growing again this year – to the left of the ivy covered tree. There will be lots of flowers in a few days. Below it and throughout the memory garden, there are many lush, green ferns. The yarrow is abundant with… …bright yellow flowers. We thought we […]
This is how I spent Friday morning – the last day of May. I thought our porch looked bad last year, and this spring decided something had to be done. I looked up “best outdoor cleaner” on Amazon. This is one of the products that showed up, so I decided to try it. The box […]
We had so much rain in the past month that it was nice when the last two days were sunny and dry. One reward of abundant rain is abundant mint tea in our “tea bed.” I took advantage of a delicious glass of mint tea yesterday after spending time in beautifying our patio and flowerbeds. […]
I am grateful to be part of a church fellowship that remembers Ascension Day with a time of worship. This year it was on the evening of the actual day – forty days after Easter. Thursday Evening, May 30 – Sermon by Sam Cassel – Acts 1:1-11 Ascend means “to go higher.” The best part […]
This new toilet bowl spent last weekend in our kitchen – after being delivered on Saturday by FedEx. When our old toilet developed an interior leak, Cerwin bought a new float apparatus, but the leak continued – meaning the tank needed to fill up every few minutes. Cerwin soon determined that the toilet itself was […]
Sunday Afternoon, May 26 We planned to go to Kauffman’s (to check it out for a Sunday school outing this fall) and thought Ian, Jared and Jesse might like this for their 2019 birthday outing. All three boys liked the idea. In this photo we are waiting for our lunch numbers to be called. Every […]
