It is another warm day on Sept. 3, with no let up for several more days according the weather forecaster. It is Labor Day and many folks were camping over for the weekend, with picnics and gatherings on Monday.
Born to son Mark’s on Aug. 23, a son, Isiah Jon. He has two sisters and three brothers to help spoil him. The evening of Sept. 2, Perry, Katie Ann and David, Dan and Sylvia and two sons, Chester and Timmy and I visited at Mark’s. We had grilled chicken and burgers, salad, melons, ice cream and snacks. Later, we sat around the campfire. It was a very good evening.
Sunny Hope School started on Sept. 4. I plan to help out on Wednesdays. The new workshop for the special needs children 16 years and over will hopefully be ready to start in a few more months. This is being built next to the D.D.C. Clinic on Madison Road.
Mel Detweiler, of Newcomb Road, is still in Cleveland Clinic following complications after having heart surgery at Hillcrest Hospital. He is felling somewhat better. We hope for a full recovery.
It’s Monday afternoon and it is still thundering. Hopefully, it will cool off. We could use a good soaking rain again.
Spending 10 days at Myrtle Beach, leaving Aug. 28, were Ray and Judy Miller and son Allen Ray and daughter Maria and a cousin Cindy Miller. They plan to be home by Sept. 8.
Twin daughters were born to Albert and Mary Ann Yoder a week ago. The grandparents are Joe and Mary Yoder and Andy and the late Esther Miller. They have been named Marilou and Maribeth.
The weather so far has been good for those going to the fair, but folks may get rained off yet.
The wedding of neighbor Ruth, daughter of Barbara and the late Roman Schlabach, and Robert, son of Noah and Edna Shrock, is on Sept. 6. They plan to move in Robert’s grandparent’s upstairs apartment.
The bloodmobile will be at Joe’s Window Shop on Sept. 8 from 2-8 p.m. All are welcome.

We are having hot and dry weather, so dry that many wells are going dry. People who are not done plowing are having a hard job of it.
J.C. Schlabach is busy threshing grain, and Byler and Gingerich keep their cylinder humming from morning until night.
Albert Miller and Moses Schlabach, who sometime ago were buried by the caving in of a gravel bank, are able to work again.

The day after visiting a fair, the wife was in agony. “You know you’re past your prime,” she said, “when you hurt all over and all you rode was the massage chair.”
