Hello from Geauga County Amish Country
It was a beautiful morning on Oct. 28.
It was a beautiful morning on Oct. 28. It looked like it was going to be a nice day for drying laundry.
Sitting at my kitchen table in the morning I saw the sun rise up over the top of the trees along the neighbor’s driveway. Also, I saw the sun shine on the strands of the fence where the raindrops sparkle like little diamonds. I saw the jet streams in the sky; some looked like they went straight up, while others zigzagged across the sky. Children were walking to school and traffic was going both ways with people going to work. Thus, another busy week began.
Guests the evening of Oct. 27 at Dan and Sylvia Miller’s of Shedd Road were Dan and Leona and Missy Gingerich, Bob and Mary Lou Miller and children, Joe and Saloma Miller, Ray and Judy Miller and I. We were treated to a fish dinner. It was delicious.
Thoughts are with the family of widow Mrs. John Mary Miller, after hearing she was rushed to University Hospitals following a stroke.
Women are canning applesauce and pie apples. I have a half-bushel of Cortland apples here to make into sauce. They are big and really nice.
There will be a benefit auction at Buster Miller’s on the corner of Newcomb and Nash roads the evening of Nov. 1 for Steven, son of widow Rachel Yoder. He has been having health issues for many years. He is a 37-year-old single man.
I see my bluebirds are back. They are competing with the pesky sparrows for the bluebird houses. They must be getting ready for winter.
The evening of Oct. 25, our family got together at son Joe’s for his birthday, which was Oct. 23. We had homemade pizzas and salad followed by cake and ice cream. Those who came were Philip and Martha, Dan and Sylvia and Cindy, Richard and Susan and children, Perry, Katie Ann and David, Mark, Fan and children and I. It was a fun evening.
Monday, Oct. 28 was a red letter day for grandson Davis, as he started his first day at the Sunshine Training Center. He was very excited.
Born to Norman and Ellen Miller were a set of twins – a son Christopher and a daughter Carolyn. Grandparents are Roman and Emma Miller and Enos and Esther Byler. Also, twins – a son and a daughter – were born to David and Amanda Miller. I am not sure of their names. Grandparents are widow Mrs. Marty Erma Miller and Chester and Dora Miller. This makes the second set of twin grandchildren for Marty Erma. Erma also has a set, Martin Jr. and Marvin, born on Nov. 16, 1989l
Niece, Mrs. Enos Laura Hershberger, fell and broke her leg between the hip and knee the evening of Oct. 20. She had surgery and had a rod put in the afternoon of Oct. 21. My sister Fannie Yoder has her home at Enos and Laura’s, so she is staying at another daughter’s, Elva and Owen Yoder’s, for the time being. Sisters Edna, Elmina and I visited Fannie on Oct. 24.
The annual Amish Craft Show will be held at Buster Miller’s on the corner of Newcomb and Nash roads the evening of Nov. 8 and on Nov. 9.
The next blood drive will be at the former Joe’s Window Shop on Nov. 9.

A little old lady checking in at an airlines counter asked the agent, “How long a ‘hangover’ will I have in Paris?”
Uncle Buckle says that women are safer drivers; they realize if they have an accident that the newspapers will print their age.
A Thought to Remember
The best time to do something is between yesterday and tomorrow.
You all have a good day.
