Night Lights
Friday evening, July 3 Our three youngest grandchildren were here for the evening, and just before dark decided to catch lightening bugs (maybe you call them fireflies). If you look closely, you can see a few lightening bugs in these pictures. I gave them each a plastic, deli container. When they were finished, they opened […]
Taking Down Dead Trees In Our Woodlot
Thursday, July 2 Because I watched Amos cut down my brother’s large tree at the homestead last fall, I recommended that Cerwin call him. When he discussed the tree situation with my family a few weeks ago, Marlin, Nancy and Anne (who live in our same woodlot) mentioned that they would like an estimate on having him cut down some […]
A Gift Basket ~ Two Visits ~ A Sunset
Tuesday, June 30 and Wednesday, July 1 This is the only thing I bought at the Truck Rally Auction. Cerwin bought a few things, but this was my purchase. The pretty napkins and, plates, bowls, and plastic ware in the basket. Our granddaughter Lydia prepared the meal for us one day while I closed the books […]
Rally Celebration at Lebanon Expo
Sunday, June 28 By Sunday morning, the sun was shining, but leftover rain drops from the day before were on each truck that was still on the grounds. The Browns were back for another delightful, inspiring Gospel concert. I love the Sunday morning worship session. It is always more relaxed than the day before. I always […]
Pennsylvania Truck Rally – Children’s Reptile Program
Saturday Afternoon, June 27 This post should have been ahead of last night’s entry, but I guess it won’t matter if the last two entries are not in chronological order. 🙂 Jesse Rothacker with Forgotten Friends is a Truck Rally favorite – of the children and adults. Since Jere helped Jesse find his spot in […]
Pennsylvania Truck Rally – The Evening Program
Saturday, June 27 Our evening program began with a half-hour concert by The Browns, Le Mars, Iowa. They are without a doubt one of my favorite gospel music groups, and I love when they add an Irish lilt to their songs. We had a great crowd for a cool, rainy evening. Two brothers, a sister, […]
Pennsylvania Truck Rally – Children’s Activities
Saturday, June 27 We were supposed to have a regular climbing wall, but it was not workable when we had to move inside – so this was a nice replacement. Jared going up the wall. This is what it looks like on the other end – the person who is holding the rope for the one climbing […]
Pennsylvania Truck Rally – Auctions, Food, & Vendors
Saturday, June 27 Auctioneer/trucker Dave White selling a gift basket while main auctioneer, Joel Heisey, points out a bidder. One good thing about a rainy day, the auction crowd was larger than usual, and the profit was up $2,000.00 from the previous year. Gift baskets and food sold very well. The children – and their […]
Pennsylvania Truck Rally – Part 2 – The Trucks
Saturday, June 27 Because of the rain, we were pleased that 87 drivers brought their rigs – even though that was a very low number of trucks for our truck rally. As we went throughout the day and many things – except the weather – fell into place, we became assured that God was indeed […]
TFC’s Pennsylvania Truck Rally – Part 1
Friday Evening, June 26 & Saturday Morning, June 27 Those who were looking for Truck Rally pictures probably thought I would never get to these. I usually post pictures in order by the date I took them, and rarely post pictures just a day or so after they happen. If I do, it is on Facebook. […]
Enjoying Hummingbirds
I may have mentioned it before, but I am enjoying the hummingbirds this summer. Since I put out three feeders, I see them every day – many times a day. In previous years – when I had only one feeder – I rarely saw hummingbirds. They make me smile.
Happy Birthday To Our Favorite Elizabeth
We love you, Grandpa & Grandma
