Mother, Doris, Lydia and Our Daisies
Cerwin’s youngest sister Doris, from Minnesota, and Mother had a delightful time when Doris spent a week (plus) in Pennsylvania while her husband was in Grenada preaching at a week-long crusade. (Doris doesn’t do well with that kind of heat and humidity, so Bob suggested that she spend the week with her Mother.) Doris took Mother outside […]
What To Do With The Tree?
As soon as we noticed that this tree in our front yard was not joining the others in growing new leaves this spring, we discussed a few ways for taking it down. I was not comfortable with Cerwin taking it down and getting our sons to help. It is not super large, but it is very […]

In Honor of Our Fathers
My dad, Bruce Hershey, (left) and Cerwin’s dad, Elvin High, (right) were born the same year – just four months apart – and grew up during the depression. They were farmers and knew how to work long and hard. Both were godly, honest men who loved their wife and children. They became friends because their […]
The Sky & A Bird

The Baptism of Bryan & Crystal
Sunday Afternoon, May 31 This was an incredibly happy day for the High family – especially Cerwin’s mother who led Crystal to the Lord last year. How exciting is that – leading a granddaughter to the Lord at the age of 96? Baptizing was in Landis Homes pool so Cerwin’s mother could be there. In the […]
Chapel Construction Update For Ocala, Florida
Cerwin had a workday on the chapel today – with five men helping him – so I thought it was time for an update – and I know Chaplain John is anxious to see new pictures of the chapel that will be coming his way later this summer. This is what the exterior of the chapel […]

Rain
Wednesday, May 27 I don’t always make a big deal out of an afternoon thunderstorm, but we needed a good rain. Oh, yes! I just had to go outside and enjoy the scent of a spring rain. It was bouncing off our driveway. There were muddy puddles in the back yard near the woods. I rarely watch rain coming […]
Happy Birthday To Our Favorite Dustan

This (No Photo) Post Has Been A Long Time Coming
As a matter of fact, it has been coming for as long as I have been blogging – and that is almost ten years. Every now and then, after posting a family get-together or reunion – like last night – I hear things like: “I love your family.” “You have a wonderful family.” “I wish our family liked […]
