Friday evening, May 13 I love having adult grandchildren – especially when one of them surprises us with a call and asks if we want to go out for supper – and he is paying. 🙂 On this night he took us to General Sutter Inn – center town Lititz. There were real flowers on the […]
We love you! Grandpa & Grandma
Friday, May 13 When Jere informed us that he planned a family workday for our yard on Saturday, May 14. I knew there was a lot of work for the adults, so thought about what I could plan for Jesse. I have a very small garden – garden tea, a tomato plant, and a few other […]
Wednesday, May 11 We (several TFC staff from the International Office) arrived at Sam and Alice’s house about 9:45 AM – after an hour and forty-five minute drive. Sam is on the right. He is Assistant Director of Pastoral Care for Chaplains. We planned this workday for him because he has a big yard and orchard and recently […]
My Mother’s Day celebration began on Friday, May 6, when Cerwin told me to pick out a bouquet of flowers when we were grocery shopping. He knows I like fresh flowers in the kitchen. On Saturday morning, Jeff stopped in with this pretty plant. I will enjoy that all summer. Thanks Jeff and Chris. On […]
This was our view on the 26-mile loop. Leaving Burle Industries It was a nice day weather-wise, consequently there were lots of people along the parade route. Leaving Ephrata and heading back toward Lancaster. By this point we usually feel like the convoy has ended, but with so many trucks this year, we followed trucks […]
Mothers Day, Sunday May 8 Our view on the way to Burle Industries near Lancaster where the trucks meet before the convoy. Just after we pulled into our space, these trucks entered the lot. After getting the chapel set up, we walked around the lot to see other trucks. I always enjoy seeing what John and […]
Saturday, May 7 Josh came early on Saturday morning, May 7, to help grandpa plant grass where we had removed trees in recent months and weeks. He works for a landscaper and has access to great lawn and garden supplies. We enjoy seeing our adult grandchildren in jobs they love and in which they acquire great […]
Friday, May 6 It was a cool, rainy day when we were shopping at Stauffer’s of Kissel Hill Greenhouse – Rohrerstown location. I asked Cerwin how close we were to where our granddaughter Jenna works – at her in-laws business. He said that we weren’t far away, so I texted Jenna to ask if she […]
Erma has been part of my life as long as I can remember, because she married Uncle Ken (my dad’s brother) a few weeks before I was born. Ken died suddenly about 31 years ago. If you are interested, you can see her obituary here: http://lancasteronline.com/obituaries/erma-mae-hershey/article_6aa18e16-060d-549f-a2a2-02fb5c6e81dd.html Her seven children blessed and honored her at a Life Celebration Service […]
This is the day – twenty-two years ago – that our sweet little grandson Elijah left us for his eternal home. This counted cross-stitch picture brings a smile to my face because I took the photo on a good day of Elijah’s short life here on earth, but the memory of May 13, 1994, brings tears to my eyes. While […]
Wednesday, May 4 I love a rainy day!
One of my favorite things about the arrival of May is:Â I see birds that aren’t usually at our feeders. Remember this picture of a male rose-breasted Grosbeak from several days ago? This is his mate – the female. She is pretty in her own way, but not as brilliant as the male. This is another […]
Sunday, May 1 It was a cold, rainy morning as we headed to the York Make-A-Wish gathering place at Battlefield Harley-Davidson, Gettysburg. Bill (left) is TFC’s York Chapter Contact Person and is coordinator between us and York/Gettysburg Make-A-Wish for this event. Our first visitor came for prayer. We were glad to be inside the dry, warm chapel. There was […]
We love you, Great-Grandpa & Great-Grandma

Getting ready to slide Red won that game, […]
Saturday, April 30 – continued from last night. I will begin tonight’s entry with our grandson, Nathan, up to bat. Nate’s older brother, Jordan, is helping him coach the Red team. I’m not sure if Jordan and Grandpa are discussing baseball or hunting. 🙂 Enjoy more baseball action as the tournament continues. Our grandson-in-law Dustan is […]
