Lititz Craft Show
Saturday, August 13 My shopping partners – our daughter Deb and her friends Dee and Bernae. Craft shows always remind me of the talent and creativity that God has given people. The resident ducks were plentiful in the park. Deb was talking to the designer of a cute raccoon picture, but I took this for the […]
The Boys Visit Great-Grandma
Friday, August 12 Great-Grandma Hershey and the boys look forward to our annual game date. She plays “Golf” more than we do so we usually need a refresher round. They also enjoy her game closet and playing with some of the toys they played with as little boys. She always has a delicious snack. Bugles. […]
Bowling with the Boys

Adopted!
Thursday, August 11 We were here for the adoption of our great-nephew who has been with our niece Judi and her husband, Reuben, for most of his two years of life. We didn’t know exactly where we were going, so we arrived early – as did some of the others. After finding the courthouse we took […]
Supper With Reuben & Judi
Wednesday, August 10 Reuben and Judi (our niece) were in the area for the adoption of their little guy, so Jere and Kristen invited them and us for supper. Colt and their little miss were fascinated with each other – as long as they were on opposite sides of the door. 🙂 Little miss fell […]
Refreshing Mountain

Penn’s Cave
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.

Penn’s Cave Wildlife Park
Tuesday, August 9 Inside the Visitors Center This place was full when we arrived at 10 AM (when it opens) – 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 […]
Breakfast Before Visiting Penn’s Cave
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 […]
Chuck E Cheese’s
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, […]
Busy Weekend
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 […]
Happy Birthday Jordan
We love you, Grandpa & Grandma
August Flowers
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 […]
Church Softball
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 […]
