We had a full Sunday, visiting with Mark and Diane and their church family – then tonight we took Nsimba and Elizabeth and Mark and Diane to the hotel restaurant for supper. Since I don’t have a lot of time for posting pictures (and we leave Maine early tomorrow), I chose a favorite of mine from yesterday’s wedding.
I posted this because of a response from a server at the wedding yesterday. We were among the last to leave the room because we were helping Mark and Diane gather things they brought. When we thanked one of the servers she said, “We are not used to this kind of kindness. This was really […]
Our day began with a noon meal for the family and those involved in the wedding. Nsimba was dressed in celebration garb from Africa. We were honored that Nsimba’s second cousin (beautiful yellow head dressing) and her family from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, and a friend who grew up in the same village (plaid shirt on the left) […]
I am interrupting my regular posting schedule to bring you an update on today’s wedding of our granddaughter Elizabeth to Nsimba – especially for his family who cannot be here. These pictures are from yesterday, Friday, November 11. Sarah putting a bow on a beautiful cactus Abby steaming the wedding dress Hannah preparing table decorations Elizabeth and […]
Saturday evening, October 29 It was a beautiful evening to drive to General Sutter Inn in nearby Lititz. I told Cerwin, “I think this is the wrong place. These are all old people. 🙂 Each class member received a button with their graduation picture on it and spouses received a regular name tag. There was an hour for […]
The Rose Garden Inge and I enjoyed a delicious lunch in Longwood Café. My lunch: Chili con carne, pumpernickel roll, and a lemon tart. Yum! After lunch Inge and I enjoyed a walk-around together – even enjoyed listening to one of the pianos – which was on automatic player mode. Then it was time to leave Kennett […]
We love you, Grandpa & Grandma High
This was probably my favorite outside place on this visit. I was intrigued by these huge lily pads. I was surprised to see the huge hub out of which the lily pads grew. I walked around the area many times – to enjoy and take in the beauty of the interesting variety of lily pads […]
I had to pull myself away from the conservatory, but didn’t want to miss a walk up to the tower and hillside where Cerwin and I had our engagement pictures taken more than 54 years ago. There are lots of seating areas – for resting and enjoying the scenery. I was standing here when the […]
We love you! Daddy & Mother High

Wednesday, October 26 Enjoy the beauty
I don’t have a lot of time to post tonight, so chose to show you the unique and beautiful bathroom area in the Longwood Gardens Conservatory. The bathrooms are individual or family and the hallway walls are covered with ferns. A family bathroom It’s not often that I feature bathrooms. 🙂
Wednesday, October 26 I was delighted when my TFC friend, Inge, offered to take me to Longwood Gardens. It was a beautiful, cool morning. She chose the back road way – which refreshed my soul. We each went our own way, meaning that we could each do our own thing and take pictures at our leisure. […]
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 […]
