Placid evening after family devotions a fitting finale for the day
Supper is over and we have had evening devotions. All the children have gone their own way now—some to bed and some reading, writing or just relaxing. I love evenings like this, when everyone is close by. Every mother has those moments, I’m sure.
Making my day even more complete was having daughters Elizabeth and Susan … Continue Reading ››

It’s Wednesday morning and we have lots to do today. I think I have some kind of stomach flu. It makes me feel weak so I haven’t moved too far from my recliner yet. Hopefully I will feel better soon. I do not have time to … Continue Reading ››
When does Mom get her bubble?
It’s Wednesday evening here at the Eicher household. My husband Joe and son-in-law Mose are making supper on the grill. With not having to worry about supper it gives me time to write this column.

Church services are set to be here August 27. We are still busy with all the preparation it takes to host the services. I know that we could still have the services without cleaning, but this is one way to have a deadline every year to give your house a thorough cleaning.
My sisters Verena, Susan, … Continue Reading ››

This column will bring us more than halfway through 2017 already!
My arms are sore this morning from all the painting we did yesterday. Sister Emma and I helped paint three rooms at our sisters Verena and Susan’s house yesterday. The new floor will be put down next week so we wanted the painting done before … Continue Reading ››
Enjoying summer vegetables makes meal planning easier
Our weather has been hot and humid this week. This morning it is looking like it could rain. We need rain and it would also cool everything off.
Daughter Elizabeth and sweet little Abigail came yesterday to spend the day. We did laundry, which seemed extra huge with bedding and curtains in the wash. We washed … Continue Reading ››
What happens when Lovina accidentally sleeps in—until 6:30 a.m.
It is already Thursday forenoon, and I still don’t have this column on its way! I made an attempt to write it last night after everyone went to bed, but I kept dozing off. I finally gave up and decided I would write it this morning.
Well, my day didn’t start out as intended. I woke … Continue Reading ››
