Rest in the Lord and be willing to wait for Him. Psalm 37:7 (NLV)
Tuesday, June 23 Our mint tea was getting tall, so I asked our granddaughter Lydia (who was visiting from Maine) if she was interested in pulling the leaves so I could freeze them – instead of letting it go to seed. Shortly after she began working on the tea, I noticed a bird splashing in the birdbath, and thinking it was bathing, […]
We love you, Grandpa & Grandma
Monday, June 15 I had Jere and Kristen’s three youngest boys while they took Jana to Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia for a test to follow up on her SMA – a secondary problem to her stomach pain and nausea – probably due to fast weight lost. (Superior mesenteric artery syndrome is a rare digestive system […]
Saturday, June 13 ~~~ The Gift We were surprised to receive a package from our granddaughter Lydia. It was from Koinonia Farm where she had been serving on a work camp. It arrived a few days before she did. Everything is delicious, but the Hickory Smoked Pecans are fabulous. ~~~ The Dinner Concert A friend […]
Cerwin’s youngest sister Doris, from Minnesota, and Mother had a delightful time when Doris spent a week (plus) in Pennsylvania while her husband was in Grenada preaching at a week-long crusade. (Doris doesn’t do well with that kind of heat and humidity, so Bob suggested that she spend the week with her Mother.) Doris took Mother outside […]

Sunday, May 24 The Hershey’s are my family – my siblings and their families. This used to be our Easter dinner, but because there are so many people – 97 if everyone came – Cerwin and I organize this meal in May, hoping the weather will be nice so we can be outside. We were expecting […]
Friday Evening, May 22 Roy and Deb arrived with several baby raccoons that were recently rescued. I think these were from someone’s backyard. The owners of the property knew something happened to the mother because the babies were squealing and I think these are the ones that were falling out of a tree. Jared giving one […]
Sunday Afternoon, May 17 After church and the bridal shower, we found a woodsy area to take pictures of Heze and Lydia. Since we had to miss her graduation, Diane and Mark wanted pictures of both of them. We drove by a very interesting farm on the way home. There were ducks, geese, pigs, and cattle everywhere. When […]

Friday evening, May 15 It was a beautiful, calm evening. There were several signs of beaver in the area. Heze baiting a hook. It was a bit cool in northern Maine, but it was perfectly calm. At first I thought this was a kayaker, but then we noticed that he was standing on a board. […]
May 10 – Mother’s Day We visited her after the Lancaster Make-A-Wish Convoy so Ian was with us. Since Mother has been walking as far as possible when we go to the Café, Ian decided to follow her with the wheel chair. When she was ready for the wheel chair, he pushed her and Cerwin pushed her […]

Sunday (Easter), April 5 We all awoke to the shrieking of smoke alarms – 5:30 AM – because Jere was lighting a fire in the fireplace and had the flue closed a bit too tight. We made sure to give him a lot of grief during the morning. 🙂 Deb and Kristen making breakfast. Cinnamon […]

Friday, April 3 – Good Friday This was a 16th birthday gift to Jana (from her parents) who wanted to spend a weekend in the mountains – and we were blessed to be invited to go along. We were up early, and I couldn’t help but notice the beautiful moon with clouds behind it. This was the scene […]
Tuesday Evening, March 31 Thank you, Ian, for inviting us to the science fair at your school. He did his project on the physics of a rifle. This was a project that was of special interest to Cerwin. He did this project at a neighbor’s shooting range. You can see our woodlot in the upper […]

When taking the previous picture, I noticed the verse on their bulletin board. Enjoying the delicious cake. Opening gifts. A devotional book and… …scarf from Allie. From Dad […]
I probably won’t have internet the next few days, and since I am up early today – and feeling rather sleepless – I will post today’s entry early. Thursday Evening, March 26 We were pleased to be invited to the art show presented by our local school – because our grandson Ian had a piece that was entered. Ian […]

Ah-h-h-h! Paraffin is so good for my dry, winter feet. Hot towels add to the delight. This young woman in yellow […]
Friday Evening, March 13 We were pleased that it suited 11 of our Pennsylvania grandchildren (and our great-grandchild) to go out for their birthday supper for 2015. Shady Maple was the restaurant of choice this year. If you live in our area, I probably don’t have to give you a description of Shady Maple, but for […]
Thursday, March 12 The crocus are late this year because of snow and cold weather, but if we get a few warm days we will soon see their pretty blooms. I never tire of pretty sunsets. It is like God giving us a warm hug at the close of a day. If you look closely – in the […]
Saturday, March 7 Jenna and Dustan This year, our goal is to take the Pennsylvania grandchildren out for their birthdays before winter is over – as everyone is too busy with spring and summer activities if we wait for individual birthdays. We gave them three dates, and the 7th was the only time it suited […]
