Rest in the Lord and be willing to wait for Him. Psalm 37:7 (NLV)
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 […]
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. […]
Thanks to Bergey’s Garage we are on our way home. We arrived home about 8:30 pm. It is good to be home.
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 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
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 […]
Sunday, September 16 Following a delicious breakfast at our friend Sam Rittenhouse’s house and a walk through his orchard (I will post those pictures tomorrow), we went to Line Lexington Mennonite Church where many bikers had already gathered. Three nitro bikes were lined up for the call to worship. Pre-Service – Music by Mike Souder […]
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 […]
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 […]
Wednesday, September 26 We visited Josiah yesterday (Wednesday) a few hours after he had surgery to debride (remove dead skin on his right leg). 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 […]
Friday Morning, September 14 Brickerville House Restaurant Cerwin thought I should not be cooking on our 55th Wedding Anniversary. Come back tomorrow evening to see where we went for supper. 🙂

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 […]
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 […]
We love you! Daddy and Mother
Friday, September 7 Jere and Cerwin went to Baltimore Airport to pick up the box of trophies from their African hunt in early March. Josh was on his way home from work, so we waited for him to help unload the box. There was some interesting paperwork from South Africa. Everything was well packed and […]
Thursday, September 6 Great-Grandpa and Anthony playing with a Tinker Toy type set. For some reason Anthony decided to put the mesh storage bag on his head while he played. We could tell that he was familiar with the road flooding that happened a week earlier because he built a “stop sign” with these and […]
Tuesday, September 4 The driver is Ian – after receiving his “hot-of-the-press” permit. Thirteen out of sixteen grandchildren are now driving. We were honored that this was his first stop after leaving their house. I told Jere that he can look nervous and pretend to be chewing his fingernails. Jere just smiled and said he […]
Thursday Evening, September 20 We are finally getting used to the layout of the Reading Hospital and finding the best parking lot and entrance for the shortest way to Josiah’s room on the fifth floor of the T Building. We waited until evening for our visit yesterday due to some TFC responsibilities, but mostly because […]
