This is Part 2 of the column I started last week.
Tim and Ervin seated the guests at the tables. The table closest to the “Eck” (which is where the bride and groom and their four witnesses sat) was seated with family such as the parents, grandparents, siblings (that didn’t have part in serving) and Day Brighteners.

Wedding Prep and a Look at Amish Dating Customs
Eleven days left until son Benjamin and Joanna’s wedding. Time is going much too fast. I sewed daughter Verena’s dress last week tomorrow my goal is to sew mine. Joanna and I plan to do some grocery shopping for the wedding this one day this week. Mostly for dry ingredients and things that can be bought ahead. Next week my friend Ruth will come and we will get the groceries that need to be frozen or refrigerated with her. This is the seventh wedding Ruth has helped with wedding grocery shopping.
Lovina Welcomes 16th Grandchild and Rests Up After a Little Tumble
First of all, I will share the exciting news! Our 16th grandchild was born on July 29th. Jayden Jax was born to daughter Lovina and Daniel weighing 6 pounds 5 ounces and 19 inches long. He was born three weeks early due to Lovina having preeclampsia. He had a short stay in NICU but mother and baby are now both home and doing as well as can be expected. He joins sister Brooklyn, 11 months. She is not too happy to have to share her daddy and mommy with a brother.

I can’t believe it’s already time to pen another column. These weeks fly by much faster than I like. Today was Monday and of course laundry day around here.

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.

Daughter Loretta Shares About her Family’s Recent Trip to Alabama
Dear readers,
This is Loretta, I’m Lovina’s daughter. I haven’t written Mom’s column for a while. I thought that since I have some free time to write, this would be the time. Right now my husband is out with the children choring. They love being outdoors. Denzel is 3, Byron is 2, and Kylie is 10 months old. Denzel and Byron are my helpers throughout the day when Dustin goes to work. Denzel is potty trained; I’m still working on potty training Byron. He’s a different cookie.
