Traveling & Arriving at New Caney, Texas – Day 3
Tuesday, September 13 I took a few pictures after I posted on Tuesday evening and will start with those. After supper we exercised our legs and walked around the truck lot at Flying J in Texarkana. By this time it was a busy place – with trucks continually arriving for the evening. We were glad we […]

Pennsylvania Gospel Music Festival
September 9, 10, 11 If you follow my blog and Facebook page you know that I rarely post pictures in real time – or in this case a bit ahead of real time. 🙂 But I have reason to post these pictures this morning. (Read the last paragraph.) We are currently enjoying the gospel music festival […]
In Awe of the Master Artist
Sometimes I just stand in awe when I see the sky.
Common True Katydid
Friday, September 2 We don’t often see Katydid’s in our woodlot, but we DO HEAR them. They get so loud at night that it becomes difficult to talk when we have a picnic. 🙂 The cicada (locust) sing during the day, then about dusk the katydids join them with a deeper song. By dark the cicadas […]
Enjoying Scum and a Birthday Party
Sunday, August 28 It was about the middle the afternoon on Sunday when I felt bored and called the boys to see if they wanted to play Scum. They were here within minutes. 🙂 They didn’t know how to play but were fast learners. Jesse used barriers so he didn’t have to hold his cards. […]
Visiting Rooster Street Butcher with Josiah
Saturday Evening, August 27 Josiah heard about our visit to Rooster Street with Jordan, and thought he would rather go there than the place he originally chose for his 2016 birthday gift. I tried to look for some new things to photograph. If you want water, this is where you get it. If you want to pay […]
Wolf Sanctuary
Saturday, August 27 This was part of our “Grandchildren’s Week”, but the Saturday of that week – in the middle of August – and the next Saturday did not suit us. On Saturdays and Sundays the sanctuary is open to the public. At other times you must make appointments – and it can be difficult to get […]

I Am Who I Am
By Doris Jean High – May 7, 2016 When your soul is at peace I AM WHO I AM. When your soul is at war I AM WHO I AM. When your body is strong I AM WHO I AM. When your body is weak I AM WHO I AM. When your spirit is free […]
Rooster Street Butcher with Jordan
Wednesday Evening, August 24 I needed an updated picture for my refrigerator and got a good shot before we left for his 2016 birthday gift. We decided that our life would be boring without grandchildren as they come up with creative places to eat. This is in Lititz. I love unique, creative places to eat. […]
Supper at Mel & Velda’s
Sunday Evening, August 21 Everyone brought food. Cerwin’s Pennsylvania siblings needed an “excuse” to get together. We are still going through withdrawal after spending so much time together during Mother High’s declining health and death in February. Everyone’s children and grandchildren were invited, but it didn’t suit many of them. I enjoyed these pretty flowers […]
Memorial Service for Our Friend Alice
Saturday Afternoon, August 20 There were yellow roses on the windows of Line Lexington Mennonite Church in her honor. She loved yellow. There were songs and memories in her honor – some things that we knew about her and other things that we did not know – especially about her days as a young mother. Cerwin and […]
