Rest in the Lord and be willing to wait for Him. Psalm 37:7 (NLV)

Our meals have arrived. Lois Cerwin Nate Me After breakfast Nate went to Hammer Creek Stainless for his last day of work. He […]
Tuesday, February 24 I was anxious to open the box that arrived from National Wildlife Federation. It included cards using one of our daughter Deb’s photos. This one is of Chester when he was a baby. Congratulations, Deb. Jared and Jesse were here for a bit after school, and when Jesse saw me stitching Jared’s picture, he asked […]
Sunday Evening, February 1 After visiting Cerwin’s mother, we and Diane were hoping to spend time with Josiah (Mark & Diane’s oldest son), but the people returning to Maine decided to leave several hours early to get ahead of a snow storm. We met the two vans a few miles from Josiah’s place, and after saying […]
We Love You! Grandpa & Grandma High
Saturday, January 31 Our oldest daughter, Diane, had an opportunity to come here (from Maine) for a short weekend – with two van loads of people going to a youth conference. Their grandson draws her here like a strong magnet. 🙂 Eight-month-old Anthony doesn’t have the “smile for the camera” routine down yet. Diane treasures her time […]
I don’t often feature our man cave – because I like to respect their privacy – but today is the right time to honor the guys and girls who come to our house. One day – last week – I looked outside and noticed Josh shoveling our driveway. He is in truck driving school and […]
Tuesday, January 6 Hezekiah showing off the afghan he got from Great-grandma High’s things. Elizabeth chose it for him because of the colors. He loves John Deere. He was pleased to know that Grandma crocheted it. He is on winter break from college in Presque Isle in northern Maine. I needed a current picture of him – […]
Monday, January 5 Oh, I needed a day like this! The view from my massaging chair in Elizabeth Nails. Diane, Lydia, Mary Ellen (Lydia’s friend), and Hannah A manicurist offered to take a picture that included me. Needless to say, we enjoyed the pampering on this cold winter day. Hot rocks! Yes. Feet packed in paraffin felt wonderful on a […]
Saturday Evening, December 27 Our evening began with supper – provided by our wonderful ladies – Chris, Kristen, Deb, and Abby. They haven’t allowed me to make any food for the past few years – and I really appreciate that. We provide the place, the tables, place settings, and drink (orange punch and raspberry iced […]
We love you! Grandpa & Grandma

Saturday, November 15 This was a special day for Jesse and me. Jere and Kristen took Jana to CHOP for more tests for her AVM, and since it was Saturday, they took Ian and Jared along so they can learn about the hospital where she is having tests and treatment.

Sunday Afternoon, November 2 After we got back from lunch, our youngest grandsons wanted to show me their box outfits. It is amazing what boys can create with duct tape and boxes. Jesse and Jared Then Ian joined them I love the creativity of young boys. That’s my favorite Ian, Jesse, and Jared.
She has been ill since late August – throwing up most of what she eats. She has had almost every test possible for her digestive system. Each has been negative. At the request of one specialist, an MRI was ordered, and on Wednesday, November 5, we learned that it revealed a mass in her brain […]
October 11 – 13 It was DELIGHTFUL to have Lydia and Hannah spend two days with us during their quick trip from Maine. It also meant we got to see a bit more of Nathaniel and Abby (Hannah and Lydia’s sister) and our only great-grandchild, Anthony. In this picture Nathaniel was shopping for something online […]
Thursday, October 9 When my brother Clair emailed me to say that he was in the area for a farm meeting with our brothers – and could he stop in. I asked if we could do lunch. He liked the idea, and because neither of us had been at the Farm Show in a long time, […]
We Love You! Grandpa & Grandma
September 23, 24, & 26 The early morning shadows captured my attention on Tuesday, September 23. The next day Cerwin was up early to take Jesse and Jared to the All Pro Dad breakfast at their grade school. They arrived early. Cerwin took pictures with his cell phone. Jere was on a business trip and asked Cerwin […]
Before leaving, we took time to take some grandchildren pictures. Hannah is enjoying her new position as Assistant Manager at Habitat for Humanity ReStore, Topsham, Maine. Hezekiah was on his way to northern Maine shortly after we left ~ for his second year of college. Lydia will commute during her first year of college in […]
Friday, August 22 This was another stay-at-home-day as we prepared a spa and meal for the final event of the week. Since this was their last day here, Gloria, Ian, and Jesse decided to make a fort with the air mattresses. After a short retreat in the fort, we deflated the air mattresses. A funny note from this morning: When everyone was dressed […]
Thursday, August 21 ~ A Day At Home The children loved any opportunity I gave them to play computer games. On the mornings that we weren’t leaving the house early, we used Keys for Kids Ministries for devotions. It was fun for each one to download it on their computer, then take turns reading the […]
Wednesday, August 20 at Yogi Bear’s Jellystone Park With Aunt Deb When I told Deb that we were planning to entertain ourselves with day trips during this summer’s Cousin’s Week, she suggested Yogi Bear’s Jellystone Park not far from where she lives. We were pleased that it worked out for each of the six school-age grandchildren and […]
Tuesday, August 19 Chuck-E-Cheese’s and Pizza Day We like to get to Chuck-E-Cheese’s when the doors open – to get ahead of the birthday parties. However, we didn’t know they changed the opening time from 9:00 AM until 10:00 AM. So, we enjoyed shopping for some groceries and a few new movies at Wal-Mart, then purchased some items at Five-Below […]
Cousin’s Week is when grandchildren spend the week with us. Kristen asked me the other day if I know when we started doing this. My oldest pictures are from 2003, so I expect that was the first summer. That means our oldest grandchildren were eleven years younger and some of the youngest ones had not yet been born. Now […]
Sunday Afternoon, August 17 Jared and Cerwin stayed cool under umbrellas. A wet Jesse coming back toward us dragging his life jacket. Then he helped his dad drag their wet boat to the truck where all boats were loaded for disposal. There were a few final races. I think this one was the winners from the […]
Sunday Afternoon, August 17 Pond Scum and The Expedition are off! Kerwin, Cambrie, and Carson are taking an early lead with Pond Scum Mike and Claryn are doing well too. Pond Scum got to the buoy first. But The Expedition is not far behind. Pond Scum is still in the lead. Pond Scum won. Good […]
Sunday Afternoon, August 17 We thought we may have to miss this, or at least the first part (because of taking the chapel to York Springs in the morning), but we got there just in time to hear the final instructions before the race. This was part of a Sunday school class picnic – which included […]
