Rest in the Lord and be willing to wait for Him. Psalm 37:7 (NLV)
~~~ Saturday Morning, August 27 10:00 AM Ephrata Community Church Connection Cafe ~~~ It was a beautiful place to hold a bridal shower. Make your own yogurt parfait. A variety of quiches. I chose vegetable (above). Visiting and enjoying the delicious brunch. Jana (granddaughter), Nichole (dating grandson Jordan) and Gloria (granddaughter and bride-to-be). Cousins. Jana […]
I am not sure what is going on with the Katydids in our woodlot. We haven’t seen any all summer, now they are greeting us each morning by hanging out on our house windows. We hear them at dusk each evening, so know they are here. Maybe they are laying eggs. These will die, but […]
~~~ Wednesday, August 24 2:00 PM ~~~ This was about a week ago, when I wanted to get a good shot of the barrels under the raft which my brothers built. For that reason, I walked toward the remains of the raft and one foot sank into the muck! I discovered that only the top […]
~~~ Tuesday Morning, August 23 ~~~ Drake, Jade and their mamma, Jenna. Jenna messaged me a few days earlier to check if they could come to visit us on Tuesday morning. The last time they were here – family photo shoot in June – Jade said she wanted to come back and play with our […]

Mark and Diane were here to celebrate his mother’s 90th birthday on August 14. When Diane learned that our congregations’ 250th anniversary was going to be celebrated the following weekend, she planned to stay for another week while Mark went back to Maine with their daughter Hannah. One of the extra benefits for Diane was […]
~~~ Sunday Afternoon, August 21 Final Entry of the Celebration ~~~ Four busses were waiting for those who signed up for the historical tour of the previous church buildings our congregation used to own. The bus drivers knew to leave about 10 minutes apart. I am going to mix some church history into this post […]

~~~ Sunday Morning, August 21 ~~~ Our church doors opened at 8:00 AM for those who wanted to look at the displays which depicted our church life during the past 250 years, and many took advantage of that time. There was no Sunday School – except for the very youngest classes. Our PowerPoint committee members […]
~~~ Saturday Evening, August 20 Kreider Meetinghouse ~~~ For the second part of Saturday evening, we moved from White Oak Meetinghouse on Penryn Road to Kreider’s – our historical meetinghouse – for the remainder of the evening. The greeters were LaWanda and Kim from our committee. LaWanda was making sure everyone received a program and […]
~~~ Saturday Evening, August 20 ~~~ The forming of a committee and the serious planning of this event began on March 31, with each committee member choosing the area in which they wanted to serve. I chose History, which put me on an interesting journey for the next five-and-a-half months. I did a serious search […]
~~~ Friday Evening, August 19 7:58 PM ~~~ The Homestead Pond has been drained and is on its way to drying. Now we wait for a while until a new pond can be prepared.
~~~ Tuesday, August 16 7:32 PM ~~~ If you are following the-drain-the-pond saga, you know Art had to go for a bigger “gun” – or track hoe. Going deeper was incredibly muddy and mucky. As the balance of pond water ran out into the meadow, a cow came to investigate a new water source. As […]
This is our sweet great granddaughter, Natalie.
~~~ Sunday Evening, August 14 6:30 PM ~~~ Many of the Myers (Mark and Diane’s family) were in the area for a 90th Birthday party for his mother during the afternoon. I told Diane that we could order pizza if the family wanted to be together for the evening. They liked that idea. The pizza […]
~~~ Tuesday, August 9 11:00 AM to 12:50 PM ~~~ We scheduled this swim date several days earlier as we tried to suit each of the great grandchildren who live in our area – and their mothers. There are 8 great’s who live nearby. Scheduling at Refreshing Mountain is done online for a 1 hour […]
