Rest in the Lord and be willing to wait for Him. Psalm 37:7 (NLV)
~~~ Wednesday Morning, September 27 7:00 am ~~~ What fun to spend a hour with him – catching up on his life. This was my 2023 birthday and Mother’s Day gift. We each got the same thing – coffee and an egg and bacon sandwich. Delicious! Thanks, Jere! From here I went home, and he […]
~~~ Sunday, September 24 White Oak Church ~~~ Ron Copenhaver on Matthew 12:20. King James Version: A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench, till he send forth judgment unto victory. Living Bible: He does not crush the weak, or quench the smallest hope; He will end all conflict […]
~~~ Friday, September 6:00 pm Amish Meal at King Crest Farm, Lititz, PA ~~~ This “old gang” consists of couples who ran around together in the late 50s and early 60s – especially the guys. Some of us also double or triple dated. We began getting together as The Old Gang sometime in the late […]
~~~ Friday Morning, September 23 ~~~ I asked to retire from the responsibility of taking special photos for this event, but still go out of “habit” – and to taste some of the good food. 🙂 I even convinced Cerwin to go along and help me choose some baked goods and share an order of […]
~~~ Thursday, September 21 6:30 pm ~~~ They choose Harvest Restaurant near Lancaster. We enjoy this restaurant because they feature many local foods. We were a bit early and chose an outside table because there was live music inside. We knew that would make conversation a bit difficult. Nicole’s meal. It looks like she chose […]
~~~ Friday, September 22 ~~~ Coming upon an Amish carriage on solid, double yellow lines is a good reminder to slow down a bit. On the way home, we stopped at a self-serve Amish roadside stand to buy an apple pie. They count on our honesty to pay for it before we leave, but it […]
~~~ Tuesday, September 19 ~~~ Jade Drake Their mamma, Jenna, and baby sister Harper. Harper listening to her mamma who is trying to make her smile for the camera. Drake likes great grandpa’s remotes. Jade helping me make lunch before going home for afternoon naps. She is putting mayonnaise on buns for turkey and cheese […]
~~~ Monday, September 18 ~~~ This western sky captured my attention. I walked to the end of our driveway to get away from electric wires. I was surprised to see a rainbow when I turned around to walk toward the house. I am always amazed that the sky under a rainbow is lighter than the […]
~~~ Sunday, September 17 ~~~ Cerwin and I chose this location for our celebration, because this is where we had our wedding reception 60 years earlier. In 1963 this was called Hostetter’s Banquet Hall. Hostetter’s had been the place to have church functions, weddings, sports banquets, club meetings or anniversary dinners from the 1950’s through […]
~~~ Sunday, September 17 ~~~ We rarely sit in the back of the church – in the overflow section – so I took advantage of getting photos from this area. We sat here because we were leaving early. I took these photos during opening announcements by our moderator, Dave Wenger. Singing Count Your Blessings Audio/Sound […]

10th year benefit pork roast and student graduation – “down by the river!” We enjoy this special fundraiser event each summer, meeting some of the staff and students, and learning more about The Potter’s House and House of Ruth. The Potter’s House and House of Ruth are safe places for men and women to recover […]
~~~ Thursday, September 14 ~~~ This is one of our favorite restaurants when we are looking for atmosphere – and have time for the two-hour drive. It is located on the C & D Canal in Chesapeake City, Maryland. Because Roy and Deb live only one hour away from the restaurant and took us there […]
The other day we were following this load of corn silage and were thinking, “It’s good, chopped corn is biodegradable.” 🙂 The breeze made sure the extra silage was spread along the road.
This set of photographs is part of my project to get activity photos for our church photo directory. One of the ladies said several of those who use sewing machines were missing. I wanted some closeup of their hands as they worked their project. I am not a seamstress, so rarely get to see these […]
I heard the equipment outside and noticed they were beginning corn harvest in the field to the southwest of our house. It was shortly after 11 am. Hauling the silage to the farm trench. Notice the tractor on top of the trench – at the farm. They drive the tractor back and forth on the […]
