Motorcycle Hearse For Our Friend Wendell
Today was the funeral for our friend Wendell. It was fun and sad. Fun to hear favorite memories and sad to know it was our earthly goodbye to him. We first met him in the early ’70s when we began attending Lancaster Transport For Christ meetings. He is the first person from our area to […]
Lunch & Deer Kisses
Sunday, December 7 Yesterday – after church – we had lunch with Roy and Deb at RD’s, a restaurant near their house I took the first two pictures just after prayer – during which Deb had the giggles because of something I said. We were holding hands and I could feel her body shaking with laughter […]
Aunt Bertha’s Funeral
Saturday, December 6 This is the best picture I have of Cerwin’s Aunt Bertha – from an evening in 2009 when we visited her and Uncle John. I enjoyed listening to her laugh, but she looks a bit serious In this photo as she listens to Uncle John tell us one of many interesting stories from the […]

Surprised
Today, after delivering nine trays of mail to the post office and taking care of some business at Landis Homes, Cerwin and I visited Uncle John, whose wife, Bertha, died on Monday.

Still A Bit Of Snow
Friday, November 28 We had some errands to run today: Weaver’s Store (Fivepointville), Wal-Mart (Ephrata), and Landis Homes (Lititz) – including a short visit with Mother when there. In some areas there was still some snow and ice on the ground. As we neared Landis Homes, we noticed the Amish were building a new barn. It wasn’t […]
