It took forty minutes for the fairgrounds to be emptied of trucks. This was my first post along the parade route. A group of people watching trucks. One hour after leaving, the chapel was leading the convoy back to the fairgrounds. If you like to see trucks, go to my Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/#!/doris.j.high?hc_location=stream where I posted every […]
turns away from evil. Whoever watches his way preserves his own life. Proverbs 16:17 (GOD’S WORD Translation)
Saturday, June 22 – 11:00 a.m. After choosing a shady spot along the parade route, I caught a glimpse of the fairgrounds in the distance. As you can see – behind the children’s activities – the area is still full of trucks. The empty area inside the protective fence is for the mechanical bull which arrived […]

gentle and quiet attitude which God considers precious.1 Peter 3:4 (GOD’S WORD Translation)
How is that for title combinations? That is because I wanted to finish the last set of pictures before I post Truck Rally pictures. After installing a ductless heating and cooling system a few weeks ago, and removing wall air conditioners, we either had to change our siding, or have strange-looking spots on the exterior walls. So […]

Did you know that Lititz, Pennsylvania, is America’s Coolest Small Town for 2013? This dinner date was for Nancy’s sixtieth birthday. I was ten when she was born and she […]
The Lord is caring for you. Psalm 116:7 (Easy-to-Read Version)
We were invited to Jeff and Chris’ house on Father’s Day evening for Nathan’s 20th Birthday party. I have enjoyed watching Nathan grow into a godly young man. Almost from the time he was small, I knew he would like fast, noisy cars. 🙂 We – his parents, other grandma, and us – discussed some of our […]

tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has forgiven you. Ephesians 4:32 (New Living Translation)
Cerwin’s Father’s Day included cards, hugs, phone calls, and brunch with Roy and Deb. We met Roy and Deb immediately after church – 11:30 a.m. – and arrived at The Franklin House Restaurant just before noon. Roy loves to find old and unusual restaurants – and was pleased that we had never been here. We were delighted that […]
On Saturday, June 15, our Pennsylvania family visited with our Amish friends. I enjoy traveling across the Susquehanna River at this spot – with a view of Harrisburg across several bridges. An abandoned house along a country road on our way to Perry County – about an-hour-and-a-half drive for us. I took only a few pictures, because Amish do not like photos […]
a life of wonder, faith, love, steadiness, courtesy. Run hard and fast in the faith. 1 Timothy 6:11 (The Message)
Sunday, June 9 We enjoy this annual event at Manheim Brethren in Christ Church where we get to tell the children – and a few adults – about Transport For Christ.

Saturday Evening, June 8 We were pleased when Jere and Kristen invited us to go Sight & Sound to see Noah. We had seen the old version – about twenty years ago – but had not yet seen the 2013 showing. Jere’s family With us We had never been so close to the stage. Our seat was in […]
Every day is a terrible day for a miserable person, but a cheerful heart has a continual feast. Proverbs 15:15 (GOD’S WORD Translation)
While I was at the baby shower, Cerwin was at Pennsylvania Motor Truck Association Truck Driving Competition – at Harrisburg Community College. Each year PMTA leadership asks TFC to have personnel there to promote our ministry to truck drivers. Scott Weidner, TFC President and CEO, and Jeff Batzer, TFC Executive Vice President of Ministry Programs represented the ministry this year. […]
After the cake break we were each given a small container of Play Dough and asked to design a baby. After watching a few people, I decided that I should photograph others instead of spending much time making a Play Dough Baby – because my sculpting skills are very limited. Enjoy. I like the simplicity of this one. She did this […]
love each other, be deep-spirited friends. Philippians 2:2 (The Message)
I had trouble choosing the photos I wanted to post because I took so many. Saturday, June 8 There were many beautifully wrapped gifts under the pavilion. Our nephew Bryan and his wife, Leslie, know they are having a boy, so it was a very blue shower. Bryan is the son of Cerwin’s brother, Elvin. Leslie […]
controlled by God’s will and not by human desires. 1 Peter 4:2 (Good News Translation)
These words are all synonyms of the word miscellaneous – which is a perfect description for this entry of recent happenings in our lives. I received this photo of our granddaughter Lydia (from Maine) and the taggy blanket she made for a little boy – the son of a secretary at VoTech where she attends. I never heard of a taggy blanket, […]

Josh and Jenna’s Graduation Ceremony We watched a split screen as pairs of students arrived through two separate hallway entrances. Our two gave each other a “high-five” as they came into view of the photographer. They were pleased to walk together – which happened alphabetically. Welcome by the school principal.
