Yesterday was a nice sunny day to wash laundry. It was windy but with the sun it made the towels dry soft and fluffy. I have two big bags of laundry that I brought home from sister Verena’s house that I want to wash this week sometime. We had rain and thunderstorms during the night. Nothing too bad that kept us awake. How thankful we are when a storm passes through not leaving any damage.

Lovina Helps Family Prepare for Church Service and Sister Verena Needs a Helping Hand
It is a dreary April morning with no sun in sight. We had a thunderstorm during the night with lots of strong wind and rain. My garden beds are still empty and I haven’t even started with getting seeds, plants etc. around. I should have onions and potatoes already in the ground. Time has a way of slipping by and we will enter the fifth month of 2026 on Friday. How can it be possible that we are entering May already?

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.
