It's likely our coldest morning so far this fall. The mercury on the thermometer dipped right down to just about 20 degrees. How thankful we are for a comfy condo to reside in. Some aren't so lucky. We may still thank God daily for our many benefits, however as I write this, with Thanksgiving Day in a couple of days, it reminds us to be thankful.

Joe and that i, with sons Benjamin and Kevin, will go to sister Emma's on Thanksgiving Day. Daughter Elizabeth, Tim and kids, daughters Verena and Susan and her little ones, sister Verena and Emma's family will even be there. Dustin and daughter Loretta, son Joseph and daughter Lovina will attend Thanksgiving dinner at Dustin's brother Clint and Hannah's house.

i am completely satisfied to spend the day with sister Emma, daughter Susan and sister Verena. they all lost a extremely expensive cherished one for the reason that ultimate Thanksgiving. They need our prayers!

th e day prior to this my husband Joe and i, together with sisters Emma and Verena, attended the funeral of Uncle Emanuel, age ninety one. Uncle Emanuel and Aunt Leah have been married sixty seven years. Aunt Leah is my mother's sister. She is 86 and a year older than my mom would had been. Uncle Emanuel shared the same birthday as my dad however become a 12 months older than him. For decades mother and Aunt Leah took turns internet hosting each other's household on Feb. 17. It was at all times entertaining to occasion. It has been many years given that i used to be at Emanuel and Leah's vicinity. Their son Simon and Judy and household now live within the house. Emanuel and Leah lived in a "Doddy Haus" beside them.

I felt so sorry for Aunt Leah. She had a stroke and broke her ankle currently, and Emanuel had been helping her. If I heard correctly, Emanuel also had a stroke and fell and broke his hip not too many days earlier than his demise.

When my sister Susan d ied in January, Emanuel and Leah each got here. They were doing pretty decent for his or her age.

Emanuel and Leah had 15 toddlers with three being stillborn. The living 12 are all married with households of their own. they have got greater than one hundred grandchildren and many, many high-quality grandchildren. I didn't get the accurate count number.

Story continues

sure, it brought again recollections being at their region. Sisters Leah, Liz, Verena, Emma and i all got to take a seat collectively on the funeral. We observed how we'd go together with mom to spend the day at Aunt Leah's. we might costume up their kittens and have them for our little ones. I additionally remember we might chip off a chunk of salt from their large salt block that they had for their animals to lick on. we would take it to the water pump and wash it off really neatly then lick it. Now i will be able to't believe we did that. It sounds so gross now. It's mind-blowing what all l ittle infants get a hold of.

My sympathy goes to the entire household as they mourn Uncle Emanuel's demise and especially Aunt Leah. she will have many lonely days forward. leisure in peace Uncle Emanuel — you were a lot loved!

It was high-quality to get to consult with with many of my cousins, some chums we don't see too often, and with Uncle Elmer and Aunt Salome and Aunt Emma (mother's sisters).

I plan to make pumpkin pie, pumpkin roll, bread and confidently cinnamon rolls to take to Emma's for Thanksgiving dinner. i'm thinking of making an attempt this recipe for cinnamon roll cookies as a substitute of cinnamon rolls.
