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 […]
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. […]
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. […]
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 […]
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 […]
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. 🙂 […]
We love you! Grandpa & Grandma High
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. […]
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 […]
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 […]

Sisters: Diana, Gloria and Jenna The girls with their mom The girls with their dad With Diana and Donovan With Grandparents: Lois, […]
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 […]
