~~~ Saturday, March 29 1:00 pm ~~~ Kristen and I arrived about 12:30 pm so we had time to help if necessary – and take a few pictures. This is the church where Jared (Jere & Kristen’s son and our grandson) and Yeira attend). Yeira (right) and her friends were preparing the apple platter when […]
We love you! Grandpa and Grandma High
~~~ Saturday, March 22 ~~~ Eliminating bugs and insets from trees and grass seems to be a yearly job for those who live in a woodlot. This treatment is especially for the root system of trees. A few days before this we had a professional pest control company come to spray around the house as […]
~~~ Wednesday, March 19 ~~~ I love that the front of our house faces southwest.
~~~ Saturday, March 22 at Lampeter Church of the Brethren ~~~ We (Sam Rittenhouse, Inge Koenig, Cerwin and I) enjoyed another production by The Promise Players. Muddled Memories is a Bible Journey using a “play” on some familiar Bible stories. I will do my best to give my memories of this fun and interesting production. […]
It was kind of amusing to watch this squirrel eating a piece of bird suet like an ear of corn. Notice the orange sunset in the background. ~~~ Something to Ponder ~~~
Inge, these pictures are especially for you. Our backyard border is a burial place for a few of Inge’s precious cats. In their memory she has planted spring flowers. This photo was taken on March 13 when Timothy and Barnabas’ daffodils were just beginning to open. This is what they look like today – 12 […]
~~~ Wednesday Evening, March 19 ~~~ Imagine my delight as we turned a corner on a road just before arriving home and saw this. The timing was perfect to capture our neighbor’s bison with the sunset in the background. It was a scene that I was so thankful to observe. We just stayed and watched […]
~~~ Tuesday, March 18 ~~~ Marcy (left), Emma (Cookie to us) and I have been friends for many years and have rarely missed a year of celebrating our February birthdays. However, we don’t always celebrate in February. Our sweet waitress agreed to take our picture. Marcy and I became friends in high school and Cookie […]
I received this in our church mailbox last Sunday – March 16 I look forward to reading the Magnolia magazine and am saving it for our Bob Neff tour in early April as we will have several hours on a motorcoach as we drive to our destination. The inside note of the card gave me […]
~~~ Thursday, March 13 ~~~ These are my favorite because they were a gift from my parents for our 10th wedding anniversary in September 1973. They always bloom about the time of Mother’s death – March 16, 1974. I especially enjoy finding some in the woodsy area of our property – where weeds are tossed. […]
I will start this post with the printed description of what a mud sale involves as many of you may think, “What is that?” You may have something similar in your area under another name. They are named Mud Sales in our area because of the condition of the thawing ground. Mud Sales are a […]
~~~ Thursday, March 13 ~~~ I am so incredibly happy to see our Weeping Pussy Willow Tree blooming with lots of pussy willows (catkins). Not only is it full of catkins, but there are also quite a few brand-new shoots. We bought it about one year ago in memory of our granddaughter Hannah who died […]
~~~ Thursday Evening, March 13 ~~~ We are always pleased when it suits us to go to this banquet. We love hearing the updates on what is happening at The Potter’s House and The Potter’s House of Ruth. The Potter’s House is a safe place for men and women to recover from addiction, to experience […]

~~~ Wednesday, March 12 ~~~ This week we started with putting edible sunflower seeds into small bags, then when that was done we did the same thing with pecans (above photo of Anthony and me). Our third job was removing the outer leaves of cabbage. When the outer leaves had been removed, the heads were […]
