Rest in the Lord and be willing to wait for Him. Psalm 37:7 (NLV)
We enjoy watching Reuben and Judi’s little guy respond to us as he begins to feel better. Kinza loves when we play with or read to her. She also loves her little brother. Our daughter Deb brought us lunch on New Year’s Day and set up a few pictures for Reuben and Judi’s family. I took advantage of […]
Friday, October 31 We started out in eastern Ohio and by daylight were in western Pennsylvania. Cerwin’s goal was to stop at Sapp Brothers Truck Stop for breakfast. It was 9:15 when we arrived here. 11:03 AM This area of Happy Valley is one of my favorite places to take truck photos. Christmas colors. Pretty rock […]
Thursday, October 30 – Rochelle, Illinois, to Girard, Ohio We left the truck stop just before daybreak. Before long the sky was beautiful and I spent the next forty minutes playing with my camera and the morning light. Enjoy! Frost We will be on I-80 East until I-99 South – north of Penn State. […]
Wednesday, October 29 Just as we prepared to leave the motel this morning (8:30), a Canadian policeman came up to us to check Cerwin’s log book and the truck. Everything was okay. 🙂 It was a beautiful drive to the border. We were the only ones going south into the USA. Maybe that is why […]
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 […]
Wednesday, August 27 Cerwin was glad to have the Pass Lake Chapel ready for the paint shop before we went to Maine for our usual Labor Day visit with our family and to attend the bluegrass concert at Thomas Point Beach. Pass Lake truck stop is east of Thunder Bay Ontario, Canada. We are hoping to deliver […]
Sunday, July 6 We were on the road ~ heading east ~ shortly after 6:00 AM. We enjoy traveling on Sunday mornings because Sirius Radio has gospel bluegrass music all morning. At 10:00 AM we called in to our home church and listened to the singing and message. Modern technology is an amazing blessing. We […]
Saturday Evening, July 5 Clayton, Peggy, Cerwin, and I enjoyed a slow walk toward the restaurant where we had reservations. This was the sidewalk to an antique shop. We liked this sign indicating that the shop was closed. We weren’t shopping anyway. We arrived at Cobblestone Grill about half-an-our early but decided to see if our table was ready. When […]
On Monday morning, June 30 (after the Truck Rally), Cerwin and I stopped to get gas for our RAV4 – when on the way to the Lebanon Expo to get the TFC chapel. I hadn’t eaten breakfast, so went inside the gas station for a Dunkin Donut French cruller. (I love French crullers!) When I walked back […]
Sunday, May 25 I have a few more pictures on file that did not fit into any other posts. These first few shots are signs of spring in Maine ~ from the day I walked on the dead end road that goes by Mark and Diane’s house. We saw this interesting mailbox one day when we […]
Saturday Evening, May 24 Diane is a daughter after my own heart. As we were concluding our meal at Taste of Maine, she said, “Let’s go right at the end of the drive, then take the next right and see what is on the other side of the lake.” I love back roads, and it didn’t […]
Nate and Abby came for supper on Monday night so Diane could spend more time with Anthony and say goodbye to them before we headed to Maine. Diane giving Anthony a goodbye kiss. Cute feet Cute baby! We were up early Monday morning ~ and left just before sunrise ~ to head for Maine. At the […]
Monday, January 6 We left Mark and Diane’s home about 7:00 a.m. on a very rainy Monday and dropped Lydia off at Region 10 Technical High School where she is studying for her senior year of high school. After arriving, she learned that school was delayed two hours because of the heavy rain. She used […]
We left the house about 5:00 a.m. on December 31 to head north – to spend time with our daughter Diane and our Maine family. This picture (northern Pennsylvania) is a bit deceptive as it appears to be sunny and warm. However, this was taken across the road at the same spot. Traveling northeast means we […]
The snow stopped during the night, but the roads were still not real great in the morning. For the first several miles we couldn’t even see the white lines dividing the traffic lanes. It was a pretty morning to be traveling. Lake Ontario. We had an incredibly nice border-crossing agent on the way into Canada, […]
Friday, December 13 The pretty sunrise seemed to always be behind us as we began our almost eight-hour drive to Burlington, Ontario, for the memorial service for our friend Audrey Scott, so I took a picture in the rearview mirror. The early morning sun made pretty reflections on the Susquehanna River We expected to get into snow as […]
Howe, Indiana, to Marietta, Pennsylvania – Tuesday, December 10 For some reason this song kept running through my head as I watched the day break on Tuesday. Morning Has Broken – by Eleanor Farjeon Morning has broken, like the first morning Blackbird has spoken, like the first bird Praise for the singing, praise for the […]
Monday, December 9 We waited until daylight before leaving the truck stop due to the scattering of snow on Sunday night, and were barely on the road when we began seeing signs of a rainbow. I had never seen a rainbow that encircled the sun. (As you can see, Cerwin quickly ran the windshield wipers to give me a […]
Sunday, December 8 When Chaplain Tim asked if we would like a quick tour of Hudson on Sunday morning, before chapel services, he got an enthusiastic YES from me. The old courthouse. I was a bit disappointed that the day was overcast – meaning there was no chance of seeing eagles, but that disappointment was wiped […]
This is the first time I ever posted by using my smart phone. It is a bit cumbersome. 🙂 We are in western Indiana – heading to Hudson, Wisconsin, with a new chapel. The chapel is dirty from driving in some rain. Pictures tomorrow.
Wednesday, November 20 After a quick motel breakfast we began the final leg of this trip. I love early mornings on the road – about the time the sun is coming up. It’s a great time to take pictures. Like Tuesday, I spent most of the day reading. Though we had a fabulous trip to […]
Tuesday, November 19 We left the hotel in Missouri about 7:45 a.m. – after saying goodbye to some of our new friends. Our first stop was at the slaughter-house where the deer were taken after they were brought in from the field. Cerwin asked them to just remove the meat from the bones. We have a […]
Sunrise outside one of our four hotel windows – we have a corner room.Notice the moon on the large building. That is the Andy Williams Moon River Theatre. We decided to fill our last day with music. After a delicious brunch at Grand Country Buffet, we walked to the other end of the building to […]
Delightful is one of my favorite words, and it is how I felt about meeting my blog friend Janet (for the first time) yesterday! She came to our hotel and asked if it was okay to go to College of the Ozarks for lunch. This college is known as “Hard Work U” because the students […]
How do I limit my many pictures of the day to a sensible amount for my blog? We found our way to the Showboat “Branson Belle” for our scheduled lunch cruise – a bit early. We have learned one thing – that people arrive really early for scheduled programs around here. When we think we are too […]
It is always delightful to see the 198 foot tall cross when we travel through Effingham, Illinois. Enjoying coffee, the scenery, and three hours of Gospel music on Sirius Radio (bluegrass channel) was heavenly. As we talked about the delightful, heavenly morning, we came upon highway that was quite bumpy. I said to Cerwin, “This road reminds […]
It was a good day! This is what happens when you take a picture before there is enough light. I thought it was kind of interesting. We left the house at 5:15 a.m. and enjoyed many sights and sounds through out the day. We enjoyed coffee and homemade cookies – from Deb – during the […]
~~~ Guess what I am going to do? ~~~ Guess what Cerwin is going to do.Oh, we have a lot of other plans, but you will have to wait. Tomorrow night we are having supper with a chaplain and his wife – two states west of here and Tuesday we are having lunch with a […]
Tuesday, September 3 It was a damp, misty morning – following a day of rain. I delighted in the Maine scenery while enjoying my first cup of coffee. It takes just over an hour to get to the bridge that tells us we are leaving Maine and entering New Hampshire. Massachusetts. When traveling home from […]
We planned to get breakfast at the festival, so after parking took the scenic walk to the food area. The tide was high, so the beach looked different from my afternoon walk yesterday. A view of the seating area from the food court – before the music started. Our seats are to the left of […]
