On Monday morning, June 30 (after the Truck Rally), Cerwin and I stopped to get gas for our RAV4 – when on the way to the Lebanon Expo to get the TFC chapel. I hadn’t eaten breakfast, so went inside the gas station for a Dunkin Donut French cruller. (I love French crullers!) When I walked back […]

I enjoy taking time ~ at least once a day ~ to walk around our yard to see what is blooming. Daylilies are still pretty. Crown vetch blooms are covering the bank to our north west. I can smell the honeysuckle as I approach the blooms. I don’t know what this is, but it looks […]
and because of your light we see the light. Psalm 36:9 Good News Translation (GNT)
We Love You! Daddy & Mother
Monday, June 30 You know there’s a generation difference when Jared asked, “Mom, why did you put a hashtag on the cake?” Kristen said, “That means number seven.” I suppose either works. 🙂 Jared played a new song for us – new for him. It’s fun having a birthday party for a seven year old. Everything […]

Truck Rally is over and I have time to examine the flowers in our yard again. The daisies got to full bloom almost without my notice. Daylilies are also adding their own beauty to our yard. Hosta flowers are short-lived and pretty. I love the challenge and busyness of Truck Rally, but am glad to return […]

I took this picture of Cerwin coming toward the Expo about 54 minutes after I took the first one – of him leaving the driveway – and he still had a few minutes of driving before entering the same driveway he left about an hour earlier. I chose just a few pictures (from the 276 I […]

Cerwin left the fairgrounds promptly at 11:00 AM. I never tire of standing on the bridge, watching the parade, and attempting to get a photo of each truck. Jared waving to me.

Corn fields have been part of my life as long as I can remember. Here in Pennsylvania our fields are not at large as those in the mid-West, but none-the-less I enjoy watching the corn come up each spring and grow quite tall by late July. I found a plant that was off to the edge of the […]
