September 2025
Over the years, we've always compared our family life to a wagon train heading west. Just as everyone had to do his part to get to Oregon years ago, so everyone in our family must do his/her part to make our journey through life successful. If somebody climbs in the wagon and lets the others do the work, we just don't make any progress. We all have to pull our weight and work together. Along the trail we find lots of pebbles that make for a smooth ride and some bigger rocks that jar us a little; we hit the occasional pothole that can slow us down. But if we purpose to search diligently, there are countless gold nuggets and precious gemstones along the way as well. This journal is an attempt to preserve some of those precious moments for our children, and our children's children, as together we travel this trail called life.

Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore. Psalm 16:11

12-14-10 Luncheon

Not much was routine about today, but a good one it was nevertheless.  I left mid-morning to do a couple errands before going to the 9th Annual Christian Home Sewing Club Christmas Luncheon, hosted by Rachel Sauder and Michelle Oswald at Vernon Koch’s Granary.  It was such a nice time, with delicious food, good fellowship, and the highlight, singing together. Wow, I wasn’t expecting that; it was really really beautiful. All of us there obviously enjoy singing, but too, maybe it sounded so pretty because there is little furniture/ carpet to absorb the sound; it sounded like more than 14 women. At any rate, I enjoyed the entire luncheon and am thankful Michelle and Rachel continue to host it every year. Home to rock Joshua and put him to bed, and then Aunt Sarah and I took a delightful walk. The sunshine was beautiful, and with no wind, it was just a lovely day for a walk. Chores and general maintenance before supper prep; supper was around 6:45 which made for a long afternoon and short evening and which thankfully doesn’t happen often. Levi and Jesse milked twice, studying in between, and got home right after we started supper. Bibletime right after supper again, and then everyone was downstairs…you guessed it, playing ping pong. What a fun game, enjoyed by watchers and players alike. Then beds, and that’s it; good night!

  1. I wasn't going to go, but I thought that the singing might be uplifting and encouraging. It was beautiful. LLK
