You may remember that we hosted a drop-in party to honor Charlie Sensenig two weeks ago. He knew he didn’t have many days left to live here on earth and mentioned to me that he would enjoy a time together with some of his old trucker friends. A Drop-in for Friends of Charlie and Hazel […]
Sunday, November 11 Bailey and Peyton going through the birthday lunch buffet.

We enjoyed their birthday hugs and being with family. These parties are also a good time […]
Thursday Evening, November 8 What fun to be invited to Manheim Central’s Marching Barons practice session for the 59th Annual Cavalcade of Bands Marching Band Championship.

Wednesday, November 7 We knew we had a long day ahead of us, so left our motel by 4:30 am (3:30 Nashville time). By 6:30 we were beginning to see signs of a sunrise. I love driving during a sunrise because it changes every time you go around a corner. Daylight revealed a cloud formation […]
Tuesday Evening, November 6 After finishing our work at the chapel, we located our motel and relaxed a bit before meeting our grandson Heze and his girlfriend, Kayla. Both live in the Nashville area.

Tuesday Afternoon, November 6 Cerwin needed to make some minor repairs, hopefully to fix a major problem – a leak when it rains. He checked the roof and is pretty sure there is no problem there. He prepared vent covers, because there have been problems with them at other chapels. The vents are necessary, but […]
Monday, November 5 and Tuesday, November 6 Our trip began in rain – after Cerwin’s 9 am checkup with the doctor who performed his hernia surgery. He was released to full work duty.

Sunday, November 4 Charlie (right) recently discovered that he has several brain tumors and nodules on his lungs – following a right side seizure. After hearing about it, I emailed him.

Thursday Afternoon, November 1 Inge called us on Wednesday, asking if we had room to bury another cat. It made me sad for her, because I know how much Inge loves her cats. If I remember correctly, Inge got Aimie at a shelter when she was no longer a young cat. Inge saying goodbye to […]
I love the arrival of fall sunrises as I can see them through our living room window. I miss sunrises in spring and summer as it rises behind our woodlot and the sun is high in the sky before we see it.
Saturday, October 27 This is my step-sister, Carolyn, showing flowers and pictures to a few of her granddaughters. I obviously could not take many pictures – nor did I want to – but I wanted a few for my memory. Jere and Kristen’s family looking at the memory table with a few other family and […]

This plant is new to our patio flower garden and I have been pleased with its greenery and size all summer, now it is turning yellow and purple. The morning sun makes it look more blue than green. I am anxious to see what happens throughout the fall and winter season.
