It’s Thursday morning. Daniel just left for work at 3:45. I feel so lucky that I get to stay home where it’s cozy while he goes out to work and provides for us. It’s 6 am now and I just got done feeding Brooklyn and rocking her back to sleep. I made a pot of coffee and let our house dog ‘Red’ outside. We live in Dustin and Loretta’s pole barn until we are able to get a place of our own.

Lovina Shares About Winter Days and Memories Held Close
It is Monday evening, just after 7 p.m. here at the Eicher homestead. Supper is over with and dishes are washed. It is time to call it a day. On the menu was turkey, scalloped potatoes, cheese and homemade vanilla ice cream. We are taking advantage of all the snow we have to make ice cream in the ice cream freezer. I have made other kinds, but my favorite is just plain old vanilla.
A Cousin’s Farewell and Autumn Chores
This is Tuesday morning just past 5:00. My husband Joe left for another day at the metal and truss shop. Son Benjamin left around 4:30. Son Kevin is still sleeping, and I need to get this column written so it’s done for another week. I’m always glad when my children volunteer to write it. Daughter Verena penned it recently and I keep telling Kevin to get his pen going again. We will see….Haha!
Recipe correction -Asparagus Soup
The Asparagus Soup recipe should have 1 cup of cubed processed cheese (like Velveeta) or 1 cup of cubed colby cheese (or cheese of your choice). It is missing from the ingredient list.
