Conowingo Dam with Roy & Deb
July 2 This day was our Mother’s Day & Father’s Day Gift from Roy & Deb. They know how much I enjoy bird-watching, so they planned a morning of looking for eagles and other wildlife at Conowingo Dam – not far from their house. They live in Amish Country – about an hour south of […]
Summer Rain
Friday, June 30 and Saturday, July 1 It was a week after our Truck Rally and I was getting caught up on Rally reports for the International Office. Somehow the rain was good therapy for my body, soul, and spirit – following a busy and fun series of weeks. Several weeks ago our grandson Ian […]

Truck Rally 2017 – Part 2
June 24, 2017 – Continued Trucks returning from the parade of trucks. I understand that this is a new trailer. I commend the owner on the choice of lettering. Effects of the early morning rain created a splash and play area. 🙂 The 171 trucks are all back on the grounds of Lebanon Expo. The […]

I Love Our Neighborhood!
I drove one mile today – to check on the chicken fence being installed at Jere and Kristen’s house – and noticed this neat sign of patriotism at a neighbor’s farm.
A New Light/Fan for an Old House
The light above our kitchen table stopped working a few days ago, so my fix-or-install-almost-anything-husband bought and installed a new one. It’s nice having a new, working light. After he was finished, I said, “It’s nice to have something new in our fifty-year-old house.” It was fifty years ago this spring, summer, and fall (March-October) […]
Our Shasta Daisies
I know summer is here when our Shasta daisies are in full bloom. It is easy to look at them as a group and miss all that is going on in the white and yellow beauty. But when I focus on individual flowers, I see other things. Imperfections, over-the-hill petals, tiny bugs and… …larger critters. When […]
Supper with Chaplain Dave & Laura
Tuesday Evening, June 20 We specifically set an evening aside to visit with Dave and Laura Hertle who were visiting from Omaha, Nebraska – to celebrate their 50th Wedding Anniversary. Laura grew up in this area and has a large family of siblings, nieces and nephews, so their four children planned the celebration to be held in the […]
Morning Has Broken
Morning has broken like the first morning Blackbird has spoken like the first bird Praise for the singing Praise for the morning Praise for them springing fresh from the world Sweet the rain’s new fall, sunlit from heaven Like the first dewfall on the first grass Praise for the sweetness of the wet garden Sprung […]
Happy Birthday to Our Favorite Jesse

Father’s Day Lunch with Jere and Kristen’s Family
Sunday, June 18 Remember when I posted a few pictures of the day Anthony and I walked over to Jere and Kristen’s – and their small barn looked like this. This is what it looked like a few days later. By Father’s Day it was almost finished for the peeps that were arriving a few days […]
ATCA Antique Truck Show
Saturday, June 17 The park was busy by the time we were awake, dressed, had the chapel in order, and were ready for breakfast. We enjoyed sitting outside and watching trucks arrive – even thought it was drizzling. It was a busy day on the chapel as Saturday is the best attended day of the […]
Today’s Truck Rally Feature – Thanking Our Family
Our family grew up attending the June Truck Rally since the first one in 1982 and began helping us when Cerwin and I became Rally Coordinators in 1985 – and have faithfully been supporting us every year since then. In June 1985 Jeff was 20 (today he is 52), Diane was 19 (today she is 51), Jere was 15 (today […]
