Removing a Colony of Bees from the Hershey Homestead
Wednesday Afternoon, September 19 We knew this day was coming, and I was anxious to observe how Tim and Kelly Miller (Wampler Honey) removed a large hive of bees from the farm house where I grew up. Correction: Kelly Miller said she was not there. She thought it was her mother-in-law, Anne Miller. The bees […]
Apple Pie from Jordan and Alicia
Sunday, September 16 We were disappointed to miss a visit from Jordan and Alicia while we were at the Bluegrass Concert and Biker’s Sunday, but delighted to find half an apple pie in our refrigerator when we got home. They spent Saturday morning baking pies for their grandparents. I told Jordan, I think this young […]
Update on Josiah
Wednesday, October 3 I knew the empty room would get your attention! 🙂 No, he has not been transferred to Good Samaritan, Lebanon, PA – where it appears he will be going for therapy. He just happened to be in the operating room when we arrived yesterday. We missed seeing him because his time in […]
Come Walk With Me Through Sam’s Garden
Sunday, September 16 Following the bluegrass concert on Saturday, we stayed at Sam Rittenhouse’s house over night – to attend Biker Sunday. One of my favorite things to do at Sam’s place is walk through his garden and orchard before breakfast. He said, with all the rain this summer, your will probably find some weeds. […]
On the Road Again
Thanks to Bergey’s Garage we are on our way home. We arrived home about 8:30 pm. It is good to be home.
Update on the Chapel Truck
Cerwin drove the chapel Volvo across the street to Bergey’s Garage promptly at 6:00 am when they opened. We are enjoying breakfast in Franconia Heritage Restaurant where the chapel (trailer) is still parked. We are without power in the chapel because the generator is on the truck. However, the weather is perfect so no A/C […]
May He Fill You
May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope. Romans 15:12 ESV
Life is a Bit Inconvenient at Times
We brought TFC’s Mobile Chapel to Bucks Montgomery’s Truck Show and Dinner Concert yesterday, planning to stay on the chapel overnight because it is usually 10 pm before we can close the chapel and we have a two-hour drive home. More than that because of taking the chapel to the Marietta Office, then getting in […]
Biker Sunday at Line Lexington Mennonite Church

Bluegrass Gospel at Line Lexington Mennonite Church
Saturday, September 15 We traveled to Sam Rittenhouse’s house, unloaded our overnight luggage, enjoyed supper at a nearby restaurant, then went to Line Lexington Mennonite Church for the bluegrass concert under the tent in the church yard. We usually have a TFC chapel here, but due to a lot of rain in past weeks, it […]
Our Anniversary Supper
Friday Evening, September 14 Cerwin and I chose a restaurant where we rarely go to eat – Greenfield Restaurant, Lancaster, PA. After making the choice, we thought, “We don’t have to eat alone, because we are usually alone.” It is not quite like when we had young children and needed an evening out alone, so […]
Update on Josiah and Tyler

The grey area is a sponge material on top of the wound. They removed a large amount of skin and tissue. He now has a Wound V.A.C. which inserts medication (clear […]

Update on Josiah
Sunday, September 23 Josiah was in his reclining chair when we arrived – about 12:30 pm on Sunday, but was ready to be moved back to his bed. I think he had been in the chair about three hours. In this photo the nurses were putting the “harness” in position to move him. “Ouch”, he […]
A New Freezer
The other week when Cerwin and I were out for lunch with Diane, we began discussing defrosting our old freezer. Then he surprised me by saying, “Or would you rather get a new self-defrosting freezer?” Of course I chose a new freezer. 🙂 We stopped by the house to drop off some groceries, then went […]
