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.

When Mom’s menu ideas run low, the kids can help
It is almost time to start supper. I’m debating what we will make tonight. I’ll ask the children for suggestions. Sometimes that makes it easier!
