This is Monday morning and my week looks extra busy. I will try to not let it bring me any stress though and take one day at a time. Life is precious and we need to treasure every day. It can change so quickly and we never know who will not be here to see when tomorrow comes. We do not know what the future holds but we do know “who” holds it.
Daughter Elizabeth and Tim Move Into Their Temporary Home
First of all, a thank you to all of you readers that attended my book signing at the Plain and Simple Craft in Shipshewana, IN. It was a pleasure meeting all of you! Even a reader from California attended. She was out visiting her sister. It’s always an encouragement to meet and talk to readers and hear all the kind words.

The Busy Month of March is Over for the Eicher’s
We have entered the fourth month of 2025. It is 26 degrees at 5:30 a.m. My husband Joe and son Benjamin have both left for work. I have lots and lots of laundry to wash today so I thought I had better get this column done first thing this morning.
Lovina enjoys having all her family in church together again
The sun is shining brightly and the temperature is in the upper twenties. The wind makes it feel colder than that. Twenty-one years ago we moved from our Indiana home to our home here in Michigan in March. It was cold with snow on the ground that year (2004). It doesn’t seem possible that it has been that many years ago.

MEMORIES FROM LOVINA’S MOTHER’S COLUMN
November 1991- As we went to church this morning, is it just a habit of going? Most people go to church on Sunday and some have the habit of going to church at other times. If anyone tells you religion is just a habit, we’d answer them that’s better to have that habit then not have it at all.
BUTCHERING DAY AT THE EICHERS
We are having beautiful spring weather lately. It sure gives a person spring fever, although it’s really not too long before the calendar says “spring begins”. Yesterday I took advantage of the lovely weather and washed a lot of the bedding along with the usual laundry. It dried so nice and the wind made the bath towels so fluffy for being line-dried.
BAPTISMAL SERVICES HELD AT LOVINA’S HOUSE
I want to write this column before I leave this morning. Daughter Loretta and I are attending the coffee break our church ladies are having for neighbor Susan. She had hip replacement surgery so this should cheer her up. Everyone always brings a lot of good food and it’s nice to visit before we all go home and start our day’s work.
Church Preparation Continues and Family Updates
It is almost 6 A.M. on this Tuesday morning. It is warm weather for February with the temperature at thirty-eight degrees. The snow is disappearing fast. Oh no, now our yard is exposed and needs to be cleaned up a little before Sunday. As long as the snow covered it, we couldn’t see the leaves that were never raked up.
