Rest in the Lord and be willing to wait for Him. Psalm 37:7 (NLV)
Sunday evening, October 23 This year we were on the committee to plan an activity for “The Old Gang” – which is made up of guys who ran around together 50+ years ago and their wives. We chose The Brickerville House because it is close to us and has a nice room for 30-40 people. There was an […]
I love being surrounded by corn fields each summer, but by the time fall arrives, I am ready to again have a house with a view.
Saturday, October 22 We were honored to be invited to Peyton and Bailey’s birthday party, and surprised to discover that I had my camera without a camera card. My camera holds two cards, and I had just removed photos and left both of them on the desk next to my laptop. 🙁 Consequently the pictures […]
Friday Evening, October 21 Because of a beautiful evening sky, I walked outside in the rain to get a few pictures. After taking this picture, I turned around to walk toward the house and saw a beautiful rainbow. Then, almost as quickly as it arrived, it was gone. I think it lasted only one or two […]
October 22-30 We have been in charge of caring for these three grandchildren many times during their lifetime, but none of them ever turned out quite like this time. 🙂 I asked the boys (left to right: Jared, Jesse, and Ian) to pose for a picture this morning before church – to send to their parents who are […]
Friday, October 21 Our friend June Kuehl called us about a week before she and her daughter Maureen came to Lancaster County on a bus tour – from Ontario, Canada – to see if we could get together. Friday lunch worked for them and us. This is a pretty scene from our drive to Kitchen Kettle Village. While […]
Wednesday, October 19 It’s interesting to look at pictures from a week and a half ago, because the corn was harvested a few days ago. (Stay tuned for pictures of that – probably a week from now.) I am thoroughly enjoying these beautiful mornings. Even the sky looks cool and beautiful these mornings.
Wednesday Evening, October 19 Jeff chose Rooster Street Butcher for his birthday meal. This place always makes me feel like I have traveled to Europe. Our delicious cheese plate appetizer Chris’ red beet salad and smoked chicken sandwich I got seasoned fries and red beet salad. The men both had the steak and fries entree. Jeff chose […]
Some pictures from around our house on October 16 & 17
Sunday Evening, October 16 When we learned that our soon-to-be-grandson-in-law was speaking at the Maine Ministry meeting at Pleasant Hill Church of the Brethren in York County, it didn’t take us long to decide to travel the one-hour-plus drive to hear him. The evening sky was cloudy and beautiful as the sun was setting. It was […]
I thought about this verse as I pondered Sunday’s sermon by Ron Copenhaver. “Are you a follower or fan of Jesus?”
We love you! Daddy & Mother

Friday Evening, October 14 Deb rescued these cute little guys when they were quite tiny. They are healthy and growing up – and play and tussle like puppiesl This is an older one. They have a few that are ready for release into the woods. They have quite the bird and animal sanctuary in their back yard. […]
Friday, October 14 My Nikon 55-300 lens stopped working during the summer – no longer doing automatic focus. I played with it for awhile – using manual focus, but eventually got weary of that and took it to the repair shop. The cost of repair was more than we wanted to pay for an old lens. Cerwin did some […]
Thursday, October 13 First we had a delicious meal at Brickerville House Restaurant. We have known Marcy all her life, but it was fun spending an evening with them and learning more about her heart. After supper, we came back to our house and taught them to play Qwirkle. We closed our evening with root […]
A collection of pictures from the past week that didn’t fit into another post. Cerwin had a TFC truck home for the weekend – so it would as here for the Sunday afternoon truck convoy to honor Elam Martin. (see my Monday post) It’s the time of year when Cerwin brings out his “red neck” […]
