Bible School – Wednesday
July 12 The scene as we arrived at church on the Wednesday evening of Bible school. I took a few more pictures in the hallways – that I missed the night before. Pictures of the sanctuary from the balcony – that I missed the night before. Teachers and students entering the narthex to go to […]
Bible School – Tuesday
Tuesday, July 11 Operation Arctic – Exploring the Coolest Book on the Planet. It was interesting to see the exterior to this room – our usual Sunday school room. We arrived early, so I walked around the hallway on the first level – I did not go to the basement rooms. Rooms and door entrances […]
Kids’ Days at Esbenshade’s Garden Center
Tuesday, July 11 I know I took pictures at the High Reunion on Sunday, July 9 – but they are nowhere to be found, so I must have accidentally deleted them. đ Consequently I am moving on to photos from Kids’ Days. An Esbenshade’s employee welcomed us to the event. When I received the email […]
Traveling Home from Ohio
Saturday, July 8 Beauty outside our motel in Berlin I was glad that our GPS took us over country roads as we headed toward the interstate. We see wheat shocks on occasion in our area, but not like in Ohio. Love seeing Queen Anne’s Lace I was almost sad to leave this beautiful Amish country. […]

Hershberger’s Farm & Bakery
Friday, July 7 We had seen this advertisement in previous years when we were in Ohio for TFC’s Truck Rally, but always had other things to see. This year we decided to stop. One of the first things I noticed was goats on the roof of the barn – and wondered how they got there? […]
Morning in Ohio
Friday Morning, July 7 We had just gotten on the road when Cerwin’s hearing aide beeped, so we went back to the motel. He forgot to bring extra batteries along in the car. We had rain during the night so it was a rather wet, but beautiful morning. While Cerwin went back to our room […]
Traveling to Ohio
Thursday, July 6 We had a relaxing, uneventful drive from our house to Berlin, Ohio – with the exception of some rain between 9:30 and 10:45 am. It was a good day to begin a novel that I had downloaded onto my Nook – probably two years ago. It has been a long time since […]

Fence Posts & Anthony
Tuesday Morning, July 4 Josh and Anthony looking at the new chicks. Abby asked if I could take care of Anthony for a few hours during the morning, so we went over to Jere and Kristen’s to see how the post hole digging was going. (For their chicken fence.) Jere, Josiah, and Cerwin The post […]
Jesse’s Birthday Party
Monday, July 3 First thing was taking a picture of Josiah and Josh. Since both have similar haircuts and beards, we thought they really look like cousins. Josiah was with us for a few days before beginning a trucking job out of North Dakota. Birthday supper. These three had their own table. My favorite part of […]
Rock Run Historic Area
This is where we concluded our day – after Conowingo Dam and the Italian lunch. We were in Hartford County – Jarrettsville, Maryland. We arrived here about 3:00 pm, so only toured the gristmill. There were several other buildings. This mill was built by John Stump III about 1800. There are four stories. Mr. Stump […]
Liberatore’s Ristorante with Roy & Deb
Our Mother’s & Father’s Day continued… Roy loves to find unique restaurants as gifts for us – like birthdays and Mother’s or Father’s Day. They had eaten here and thought it a perfect place to take us – after bird-watching at Conowingo Dam. The menu is Italian. The olive oil that we used for dipping our […]
