Rest in the Lord and be willing to wait for Him. Psalm 37:7 (NLV)
Tuesday, August 9 Our group walking to the cave. Waiting for our boat to come in. 🙂 The lights of the boat. The sights of the cave. We saw lots of stalactites (hanging like icicles) and stalagmites (growing up from the floor like statues). Meeting another boat This picture and the next two were taken […]
Tuesday, August 9 Inside the Visitors Center This place was full when we arrived at 10 AM (when it opens)Â – with 4 or 5 busloads of people. We thought we may have long waiting lines. When we were given instructions for getting tickets, she said they opened early for these buses – and they were […]
Tuesday, August 9 Jere and Kristen invited us to go along with their family to Penn’s Cave more than a year ago, but that was when Jana was having a lot of trouble with nausea and we came home after breakfast. We went back to the same Cracker Barrel and celebrated that Jana is doing well […]
Monday, August 8 This is what used to be Cousins’ Week at our house – but it seems that everyone has grown up, gotten married, or have jobs, so we are down to the youngest three grandchildren and are now having Brothers’ Week. 🙂 Chuck E Cheese’s was their choice for Monday. While they used tokens and gathered tickets, […]
Our Amish friends the Smucker’s came to visit on Saturday. We planned to eat and visit at the pavilion, but there was a period between noon and 3 pm when thunderstorms were predicted, so we prepared the garage for seating 46 people for lunch. A storm never did arrive, but it worked out nice to […]
We love you, Grandpa & Grandma
We redid this flowerbed earlier this year and I am still enjoying the newness of it – after having been used to bushes that were planted 48 years ago. I also added a few potted flowers – something that rarely works for me because I forget to water them. I was determined to take care of […]
Friday evening, August 5 Our grandson Jordan was refreshing his pitching skills when we arrived. Their usual pitcher – his brother-in-law Dustan – was on call at work and had to go somewhere toward Philadelphia. Jordan said that he hadn’t pitched for awhile. Then he showed his mom how to use his apparatus to keep […]
It’s the time of year when we are closed in with corn fields – and I love it. I have a better view from our patio than from the previous one which was from our yard. The past two weeks have been a great mix for growing corn – heat and rain. This is what […]
Saturday evening, July 30 This is the crew that we took to Sight & Sound for their 2016 birthday. Those who chose this for their gift:Â Josh, Nathaniel, and Jere. We owed Josh and Jere a meal for some work they did for us, so included a stop at Outback. Notice the waiter in the background […]
The last week of July ~~~ July 22 I’d rather see a hummingbird. Hey, squirrel that is my chair. It is so warm these days that the suet is melting. ~~~ July 25 A rain like this in summertime makes farmers smile. It also makes our flowers smile. The sun is shinning and it’s still […]
Saturday, July 23 Cerwin and Chaplain Jake took the chapel and Jake’s Marmon to the speedway on Friday so they could park at our designated spot – just inside the gate. The organizers gave us the best spot on the grounds. We enjoyed watching arriving trucks. The view behind my chair and under the chapel. Our view of arriving […]
Friday Evening, July 22 I guess it is fitting that Dutch Apple has a large apple tree next to the theatre. This was Kristen’s choice for her 2016 birthday gift, so our dinner dates were Jere and Kristen. We enjoyed a delicious meal (no pictures) before the show. You cannot take pictures during the show, […]
