A Visit With Roy & Deb
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. […]
A New Camera Lens
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 […]
An Evening with Nate & Marcy
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 […]
Around Our Place
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” […]
TFC Prayer Breakfast & Bake Sale
Saturday, October 8 We (Cerwin, Inge, and me) arrived at Menges Diner about 5:45 am – to get ahead of the breakfast crowd. Inge had been in a truck a time or two for a truck parade, but had never been on a regular ride over the road. We were pleased to help her check […]
Beautiful Fall Skies
I am enjoying the beautiful fall skies during the past few weeks. The sky spreading out above them looked as though it were made of crystal; it was inexpressibly beautiful. Ezekiel 1:22 Living Bible
Happy Birthday to Our Favorite Hannah

Surprise Truck Convoy for Elam Martin, Jr
Sunday Afternoon, October 16 We received a Facebook invitation from friends from church – Kevin and Jeanette. Elam is her uncle. He was injured while loading underground water/sewer pipes on Tuesday, September 6, 2016, and sustained neck, back, and sternum fractures. There was surgery to repair his neck fractures, but he needs to wear a brace for 8-plus […]
Love Feast & Communion
Saturday evening, October 15 All photos were taken without flash – so the focus is a bit soft. I love our church fellowship and wanted to share our Love Feast & Communion weekend with you. Love Feast and Communion is not taken lightly at our church – White Oak Church of the Brethren. The preparations […]
A Service of Remembrance
Thursday Evening, October 6 Because Cerwin’s mother died in February, her family was invited to Landis Homes for a Service of Remembrance for those on campus who died between September 2015 and August 2016. We had two other stops (flu shots and supper at a restaurant) and gave ourselves plenty of time. Each stop went faster than […]
Autumn Sunrise
Morning dew feels good to my bare feet. Sunrise over the cornfield Love the glitter of the sunrise on the dew.
Sacrifice of Praise
Let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name. Hebrews 13:15 King James Version How do you get to a point of giving God a “sacrifice of praise” when you have been hurt or when you have hurt someone? We have all […]
Signs of Fall in Our Neighborhood
There are still a few flowers The corn in the neighboring field is soon ready for picking. Dogwood leaves are some of the first to change color in our yard. Seed pods are all that is left of our beautiful Crepe Myrtle bush.
Happy Birthday to Our Favorite Allie
We love you, Grandpa & Grandma
