Amish Corner

Hello from Amish Crossing Corner.

It was a rainy, cool Sunday. So, a fire in the kitchen range felt good. Neighbor Eli Bylers had church today with quite a few visitors. All were very welcome.

Born to Crist and Maureen Hershberger, of Mumford Road, a tiny 3 pound, 8 ounce son, Joshua. Grandparents are Crist and Clara Hershberger and Mrs. Mervin (Kathy) Wengard. He is in University Hospitals. Also, a daughter, Amanda, was born to Marvin and Arlene Miller, of Garrettsville. Grandparents are Owen and Cindy Miller and Allen and Kathryn Miller.

Our sympathy to the family of Dan and Sylvia Miller in the recent passing of Dan. He had only found out a short time ago before that he had cancer. Her address is: Mrs. Daniel J. Miller, 1369 Kinsman Road, NW, North Bloomfield, OH 44450.

We will be busy this week getting ready for the craft show here on Nov. 5. That is also the day of the Metzenbaum School Auction.

The afternoon of Oct. 26, daughter Betty, Melvin and granddaughter Lorena came down from Mio, Mich. They came to help celebrate daughter Sylvia’s 50th birthday. We all got together at Dan and Sylvia’s on Thursday with the married grandchildren coming in the evening for cake and ice cream. On Friday, Melvins went up to his family where they gathered to divide his parents things. They were here for the three nights, leaving for home on Saturday afternoon. Their visit was greatly enjoyed.

My visitors on Sunday evening were son Richard, Sue and children, and John Mat Miller. Supper guests at Dan and Sylvia Miller’s were Joe and Saloma Miller, Ray and Judy Miller, Bob and Mary Lou Troyer and children, and Dan and Leona Gingerich.

Time to get the flowerbeds cleaned out. Also, I need to finish up the raised garden.

Thoughts go out to nephew Monroe Miller, who is very sick with cancer. He and his family live in Troutville, Pa.

Before we know it, Thanksgiving will be here. I’m not sure where we will gather yet. With married grandchildren, we need to compromise a date.

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is a time to reflect on the many things we have to be thankful for.

Good heath, which many don’t have.

Family – Let’s not take them for granted.

Jobs to support our families.

Houses to live in – some countries only have huts.

Plenty to eat – some go hungry every day.

A Happy Thanksgiving to all.
