Flag Day is today and so I
shall hang our big flag in the
holder on the front porch. I feel
very thankful that my ancestors
had the courage to cross the
ocean so many years ago. They
were some of the very first people
in Lancaster County. After ac
quiring land and building a
house, my ancestor, Hans Adam
Shreiner went back to Germany
for his family in 1733. Jacob
Landis came from Switzerland in
1722 and settled in Lancaster
County too. By this time there
are 11 generations here in Ameri
ca.
One of my recent gifts was a
box of notepaper. It is something
that I appreciate and can use as I
write quite a few letters. I’ve also
been given several hanging pots
for our porch and I am hoping
that I can keep them watered this
summer. I also got a mandevilla

Committee, dairy royalty partici
pated in several pre-game activi
ties meeting with fans and having
fun promoting Pennsylvania’s
leading agricultural industry,
dairy.
“The Wyoming-Lackawanna
Counties Dairy Princess Com
mittee is excited to return to
plant as I had a beautiful one last
summer that did not live through
the winter.
One of our grandchildren was
given an assignment in school in
which he explained our connec
tion with the Landis Valley Mu
seum near our home. The broth
ers who started the large
collection of farm items were dis
tant cousins of my mother. And,
recently the museum has ac
quired a Conestoga wagon that
was in my family for more than
two centuries. It has been re
stored although it was in good
condition as it had been “hung”
in a wagon shed all of that time.
This year my three iris beds
were full of flowers and I made
five bouquets for my neighbors
and relatives. There were only
five different colors as it seems as
though most of them reverted to
simply blue and white.
