Lovina’s Eight-Year-Old Granddaughter Jennifer Pens the Column

Hi, I am Jennifer Susan and I am eight years old. I like to read and write and hold my baby sister Sharlene. She likes when I feed her corn pops. Sometimes I rock her to sleep and sometimes I play with her. I have two sisters and four brothers. My sister Kaitlyn and I sleep in the same room.

Verena Writes Lovina’s Column This Week, Helping Busy Mom

Hello readers! This is Lovina’s daughter Verena writing once again. Mom has been extra busy preparing for church services, so I decided to help her out by writing the column and give her an extra week of not having to worry about writing. When she has to, she does a very good job to sit down and write when she is very busy and has many other things to do. 

Lovina Shares Memories of the Eicher Family Move to Michigan 22 Years Ago

We will be extra busy cleaning and preparing to host communion services here in 3 weeks, so I decided to get an extra column written. It’s always nice to be a week ahead when my schedule looks full. I decided since it’s 22 years ago this month that Joe and I and our six children made the move to Michigan to make it our home, I would share some special memories from that time.

Winter Cold Continues as Lovina Starts to Prepare for Upcoming Church Services

Lovina Has Special Times to Spoil Grandchildren and Share Family Meals

It is Monday afternoon and what a lovely March Day it is! The temperature is almost 70 degrees. The sun is shining but it’s windy. I have clothes hanging on the lines which was a little bit challenging to hang up, especially bed sheets and blankets.

Lovina Spends a Special Day with Her Daughters and Enjoys Meals with Family

On Wednesday all five of my daughters spent the day here. It had been a while since we all were together for a day. Elizabeth has three children in school and Susan has five children in school. That fills up their schedules with dentist and doctor appointments. I remember those days very well.

The Eichers Gather to Butcher Beef  and New Babies to Celebrate

What a beautiful but cold day it is! The sun is shining so bright. It always lifts your spirits more than on a gloomy day. We have so much to be thankful for. Do we appreciate all the blessings we are given? Life gets so busy, but we still need to take time to thank our Heavenly Father for his many blessings and for sending our dear Savior Jesus Christ.

The Eicher’s Attend Church Services and Enjoy Family Night Fun

It is a foggy Monday morning but the sun is peeking through. It looks like it will be another nice sunny day. We have been having spring-like days with temperatures in the 50s. I’m sure winter isn’t over for us yet, but we will enjoy these days while they last. After all of the cold and snow we have had, it does give a person “Spring fever”! 

Lovina Shares Precious Stories and Memories from 20 Years Ago

This column has to be out earlier than usual so with having written a column just a few days ago I decided to do some reminiscing and look through my past columns of over twenty three years. I would have forgotten some of the stories I wrote about the children if I hadn’t written them down. If you can find time to write down cute stories about your children growing up that would be great

The Eichers Enjoy Fun in the Snow and Celebrate Birthdays

We have entered the month of February already. Today is Groundhog Day and it looks like Mr. Groundhog says six more weeks of winter. Either way it seems we get six more weeks or more either way. We have had a real winter so far with cold weather and lots of snow. Maybe if we get it all at once we will have an early spring.
