You Are My Sunshine
Our children know that this is “our song” and in various ways let us know that they remember. This year Mark and Diane gave us matching coffee cups for Christmas. 🙂
Evening Beauty and Sound
The other evening as I was preparing supper, I couldn’t resist going outside to capture the beauty. When outside, I heard this and looked up to a flock of geese who were preparing to land in a nearby field. I wanted to stop time and just stand there and take in the beauty for awhile […]
Happy Birthday to Our Favorite Gloria

Hometown Puzzle
We received this really neat puzzle from Mark and Diane at our family’s Christmas celebration. Diane is good at finding unique items for gifts. She, Josiah, Abby, and Lydia put much of it together while we were in Florida – Cerwin helped on the evening we returned. I placed exactly one piece. When I mentioned […]
Update on Josiah
While we were in Florida last week, Diane took Josiah to two of his surgeons – orthopedic and skin graft. Both were pleased with his progress. The biggest change for Josiah is that his orthopedic surgeon said he may now put full weight on his right leg. His right side took the brunt of his […]
Cookies and More
We’ve had a generous donation of cookies this year. Maybe because people know that Josiah is living with us. 🙂 This plateful came from Jeff and Chris at our family Christmas. On the same day we received 3 or 4 dozen cookies from Roy and Deb. This is a sampling of the kind they gave […]
Traveling Home ~ Charlotte, North Carolina to Home
Friday, December 7 We were on the road just as the sun was rising. Busy morning traffic Enjoy the morning beauty Sometimes I wonder what is under some of the wrapped loads. A truck load of coffee! That would keep one awake on the road. Really, it is fuel. 🙂 Virginia scenery A big load […]
Traveling Home – Wesley Chapel, Florida, to Charlotte, North Carolina
Thursday, December 6 I learned about two towns in Florida that I never heard of before this trip – Wesley Chapel (location of our motel) and San Antonio (location of the chapel). We enjoyed another beautiful sunrise as we traveled north. Going by the exit where the chapel is located. It was a cold morning […]
Setting Up the Chapel at San Antonio, Florida
Wednesday, December 5 Drivers, Exit 285 on I-75 is where you will find this new chapel location. It is easy to call this Dade City because it is a familiar Florida city. However, the truck stop is located much closer to San Antonio, which is the city on the street address. San Antonio sounds like […]
Savannah to Dade City
Tuesday, December 4 We left our motel in Savannah, Georgia, shortly after 6 am and were on the road to Ocala, Florida. Enjoy the beautiful sunrise. This is my favorite time of day to travel. We saw lots of flags at half-staff to honor George H.W. Bush. Entering the Pilot Travel Center at Ocala, Florida, […]
Moving a Chapel to Dade City, Florida
Monday, December 3 We were on the road early Monday morning to begin our trip to Florida – going through the toll both at Lancaster/Lebanon Entrance/Exit of the Pennsylvania Turnpike at. 4:28 am which is only a few miles from our house. Our oldest RAV4 was loaded with supplies for moving the chapel from Ocala, […]
Our Christmas ~ Part 3
Sunday, December 2 We usually like to do something with slides at our Christmas gathering and give them some family information. Last year we used their baby pictures and had them guess who the baby was. This year we gave them some information on two lines of our family heritage. Two families that most of […]
Our Christmas ~ Part 2
Sunday, December 2 Gathering for prayer before the meal – but singing happy birthday to Lydia first. Prayer Jesse was first in line for the food buffet. I made “haystacks”, which means you can put together a large salad with anything you want. Or if you don’t like salads, there is chili con carne, dinner […]
Our Christmas ~ Part 1
Sunday, December 2 What fun preparing for our family this year as we set up tables for 33 people. Everyone was able to come except Nsimba, Elizabeth, and Nicodemus from Maine – and Kayla from Tennessee. There was even one extra – Katie, a friend of Roy and Deb. That’s why Cerwin and I have […]

Friday Afternoon, November 30 Three of the Myers (Mark, Diane, and Hannah) arrived at our house (from Maine) on Friday afternoon. Hezekiah arrived from Tennessee a short time later. Following an early supper, which Diane brought along, they went to Hanover (1 and 1/2 hours away) to visit Mark’s mother. Hezekiah and Josiah also went […]
