Monday With Mother
Monday, November 24 Since this was the day we thought Mother might be discharged, we wanted someone with her most of the day. Velda worked until 3:00 PM, so I took the middle of the day shift – 11:00 AM until Velda arrived at 3:30 PM. Mother’s first visitor was Kristen from the pharmacy at Landis […]
Sunday Visit With Mother
I went to the hospital after church this morning – first stopping to say hi to Jeff (TFC’s Executive Vice President) on the fourth floor. He was doing a bit better than yesterday and anticipates surgery tomorrow to repair his broken leg. Remember from yesterday that I was hoping to see a helicopter on the pad […]
Mother’s Apartment & Hospital Room
Yesterday, Friday, November 21 This was the day we planned to empty Mother High’s apartment in the independent living area of Landis Homes Retirement Community. We decided to continue with our plans even though we had very little sleep because of spending four hours in the ER with her during the night, where it was discovered […]
O Lord, your mercy reaches to the heavens,
your faithfulness to the skies. Psalm 36:5 GOD’S WORD Translation (GW) It is rare that I wake up to the sun in my face. (I slept on my reclining chair between 5:30 and 7 AM.) It reminded me that no matter what happens during the night, the sun is faithful to rise in the morning. […]
Sunrise
On this day the sun made a dramatic entrance announcing the birth of a brand new day giving us hope for a day filled with love and joy and peace.
Enjoying Our Winter Birds & Animals
It’s that time of year again – when I have trouble staying away from our windows. Birds and animals are a great reminder of God’s care and love.
How happy are those who have learned how to praise You;
those who journey through life by the light of Your face. Psalm 89:15 The Voice (VOICE

Sunday With Mother High
Sunday, November 16 Roy and Deb were babysitting her cousin’s son Bryson for the weekend, and decided to join me and Mother High at Pleasant View Retirement Community for church. I chose to go to church with mother since it didn’t suit either Cerwin’s brother or sister – and Cerwin was in Kentucky hunting. After church we prepared to […]

Cerwin, our oldest son Jeff, and Jeff & Chris’ middle daughter Diana, are on a five-day hunt at Hunt West Kentucky: https://www.facebook.com/HuntWestKentucky. They only needed three days! 🙂 Jeff got his eight-point on the first day of the hunt. Cerwin was next – on the third evening. His is also an eight-point. Diana texted me about […]
I am grateful that God always makes it possible for Christ to lead us to victory.

Beginning To Feel Like Winter
Thursday, November 13 This fire bush is one of the few pretty things left in our yard. I decided to remember the beauty with a photo before it also gives in to shedding its leaves. It looks brilliant next to the other trees and bushes with bare branches. Some trees are not totally bare, but they still look wintery. The […]
Let the wonderful kindness and the understanding that come from our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ help you to keep on growing.

A Meal From Our Niece Amy
Monday, November 10 Everyone should have a friend and neighbor like our niece Amy. Her thoughtfulness made me wonder why I didn’t think of taking a meal to my sister Nancy when their family went through a stressful situation lately. And when Nancy heard what her daughter did for us and Jere and Kristen on Monday, she said, […]

Playing With The Sun & Leaves At Sunset
