Mother’s Day Ideas for All Moms Mother’s Day is a celebration of women

who devote so much of their effort and en-ergy to their families. Celebrating Mom on

Mother’s Day lets her know all of her efforts haven’t gone unnoticed.

Mothers may perform similar tasks, but no two moms are the same. Finding ways to celebrate Mom’s uniqueness can make the day that much more meaningful and memorable.

The CrafterMothers who are avid crafters may en-

joy a craft-themed Mother’s Day. A family crafting project can make for a fun after-noon and produce mementos that Mom will cherish for years to come. Dads and kids can plan the project in advance with-out Mom’s knowledge, arranging all of the materials ahead of time and setting up the crafting station the night before or while Mom is relaxing on Mother’s Day morning. Kids can even get a head start on the day by making their own craft for Mom and giving it to her as a Mother’s Day present. Dads can keep the craft theme going at dinner and get a laugh out of Mom by pouring her a craft beer when dinner is served.The Reader

A 2017 survey from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics found that women read more than men. Women read an average of 19.8 minutes per day, which can make a Mother’s Day focused on Mom’s love of books an ideal and unique way to spend the day. Kids can write Mom their own books, and Dad can help put them together. Dads can visit rare bookstores and look for origi-nal copies of Mom’s favorite books that she might not find elsewhere.

The Nature LoverFishing and other outdoor activities

might have a reputation as predominantly male hobbies, but studies show that’s not really the case. A 2016 report from the Out-door Foundation found that 46 percent of people who participated in outdoor activi-ties were women. If Mom is a nature enthu-siast, families can plan a Mother’s Day enjoy-ing the great outdoors, even giving Mom a new fishing pole, hiking gear or other items that align with her favorite nature activity.

The Relaxation SpecialistOf course, some mothers may want to

simply unwind with a relaxing morning at the spa on Mother’s Day. In fact, the 2018 U.S. Spa Industry Study found that the spa industry has enjoyed seven consecutive years of consistent growth, with more than 187 billion spa visits in 2017 alone. A relax-ing morning at the spa can be the perfect way for moms to begin Mother’s Day before they enjoy a brunch of dinner out with their families.

Mother’s Day celebrations can be as unique as the women being celebrated. TF195950

We are delivering!

By Joe Novak My mother

entered into eternal rest on April, 2nd 1978 a few days before my 31st birthday and I have missed her i m m e n s e l y ! We often

don’t realize what we have until it is gone; my mother and I got closer only a few months before she passed; if I had only known how soon she would be gone!

I started visiting her once a week after she moved into an elderly apartment and we would also talk on the phone approximately once a week. She died on a Saturday night after attending a Slovenian event where she spent her time catching up with old friends. She and I spoke on the phone that Friday evening for a considerable amount of time; neither one of us knowing it would be our last conversation! I distinctly remember her telling me that she was ready to depart this world with all her ailments and missing my dad who passed away several years earlier; hearing this was some consolation but it didn’t ease

She’s Gone but Not Forgottenthe pain of her passing.

Another topic we discussed that Friday was about my decision to divorce my wife; she knew how unhappy I was in that marriage and although it went completely against her Catholic upbringing she gave me the go ahead. This was not permission

or encouragement but advice to follow my heart. Catholic guilt is

legendary and her reluctant go ahead lessened that burden for

me! When I was growing up, there were few divorces so we were accustomed to having both our parents around; seldom did I think about losing them until my dad was diagnosed with liver cancer. My parents were truly in love

and you could tell by the way they looked at each other! I

believe that having known true love, even if it is for a short time,

beats a long life without ever having known true love!

My mother was a great cook and the memory of Sunday dinners still remains after 60 years! She suffered from Rheumatoid Arthritis and I would often help her in the kitchen never thinking that later in life I would be the cook in my family; wishing I had paid closer attention!

Greetings from the Bookmobile

April 16, 2020: A layer of snow greets us again this morning. After all the spring like days we had, it’s kind of a shock to our systems. But we can expect anything in April.

For Easter from daughter Sara Jane and Marty Mast, I received a huge lily with daffodils, tulips, and hyacinths, all in one big pot. It is beautiful. Thanks! Happy Birthday to grandsons John Paul Mast (today) and Andrew Weaver (tomorrow).

We are staying close to home for the most part. We hope to go to a few grocery stores early this morning. Seems one of us always needs pills of some kind. It’s only 5:30, guess our alarm needs a tune-up. It keeps going off way earlier than it was set.

We have been doing a few puzzles. We like the 500-piece ones, although we have just started a new 1000 piece one. It is a nice winter scene with a red barn and deer. Hope it is not too hard!

Son Bob is remodeling their kitchen. Can’t wait to go see it. They got their cupboards yesterday, so it’s almost done. Then the living room and front porch will be combined.

Many churches in this area have been canceled because of Covid-19, and so have benefits, weddings, etc. We are hoping we can soon go visiting. We haven’t seen some of our family for over 2 weeks and that seems like a long time. So glad we can call.

Neighbor Bonnie Ward checks on us 2 -3 times a week. A good feeling to know people care. Bonnie also keeps us updated on new developments. Granddaughter Rosa Beth sewed 200 masks that go to Cleveland Clinic. Many others helped. The Cleveland Clinic needs thousands of masks. This project is done through Sunny Hope School.

Blessings are wished to all Mothers on your special day!

By Katy FarrellThe staff at the library are working hard behind the scenes to figure out how best to serve our patrons during this unprece-dented situation. We are fielding reference calls at 440-286-6811 (extension 7), signing young patrons up for the Imagination Li-brary program, giving 100 Book Challenge quizzes online, and posting storytimes to keep children engaged. While we are lucky to continue to provide limited services, nothing compares to seeing our patrons every day on the Bookmobile. We are currently developing procedures that allow us to resume serving patrons as soon as we are able. It’s likely that the Bookmobile will be a little different when we come back – for instance, we may not be able to check-in materials right away. We are committed to providing the items you want, however, and are taking steps to figure out how best to do that. For those of you who had items on hold before we closed, those are still sitting on the shelves in our office. We will continue

to hold those items until we see you next. When we do see you, we want those visits to be as helpful as possible! To ensure that, we are enacting temporary procedures to collect patron holds. You can leave a message for Mobile Ser-vices Manager Katy Farrell at 440-632-9496, extension 2582 for items you wish to re-ceive when the library reopens. In the mes-sage, please be sure to leave your library card number, phone number or address. After that, provide as much information as you can about the item(s) you would like. We will keep these options in place until we can start collecting holds in person. Rest assured that we will contact our patrons before heading out to the stops when we reopen. You will receive a call from one of us in Mobile Services to let you know that you have a hold available and when we will be at your stop. Until then, we hope that everyone is safe and healthy. We can’t wait to see you again!

April 20, 2020: Let us be thankful that there is still sunshine, that we still can glimpse the blue of the sky, and that in our own way we can continue to look up.

Enjoy the early morning. God gave us another day to enjoy His beauty, even when it snowed 5 times since April 4. The lowest temperature was 28 degrees … a fear of birds freezing on the fruit trees).

The forecast for this week is warmer weather. I think I’ll go get the hummingbird feeders cleaned and ready for our tiny little friends that come back every year. How do these tiny birds find their back? Amazing! (Also need to get the Oriole feeders cleaned and ready.)

After we got back from Florida April 4th, we were quarantined for 2 weeks, so we didn’t see our grandchildren for a month. So, it was exciting yesterday when son Marty and Lori and 7 grandchildren came over for brunch. We left for Florida March 23, Rudy, daughters Leah, Miriam and Kathy, and me. Even though public places were shut down, it did not bother us as we continued to enjoy 87-degree breezy weather, beautiful flowers and Palm trees … and, best of all, sunshine every day. There were no dull moments where we stayed in John and Mattie’s house.

With “stay at home” orders in April, we enjoyed the quiet and serene life, and we got our spring cleaning done. News is we don’t get to go anywhere. We hope everyone who was sick with the Corona 19 virus is feeling better.

God told us not to worry,Or to anxious be.To put our faith and trust in Him,And all our fears would flee.

Greetings from the Plain Community By Donnie Miller

Tuesday, April 21, 2020: Greetings to all readers and writers this morning. It is April 21st and it is snowing outside! Can’t remember ever being this ready for warm weather as this year. Doesn’t help that we are cooped up because of the virus. Been out of the house in the last couple of weeks… once to the lab for blood work, and then yesterday at the Clinic for my anemic shot. The Clinic was empty with only nurses in the halls plus a few patients. Was eerie! We will be thankful once this is past and we can come and go as normal. There are many opinions and will keep mine to myself!

We had a break when son Dannie and wife Joann spent 24 hours visiting, arriving

Friday afternoon and leaving Saturday afternoon. They live in northern Indiana.

I’ve been reading many books the last few weeks. Am on my fifth book. What else is there to do? So thankful that I enjoy to read. Ran out of coffee and our son-in-law made a quick run to the store for us on Saturday. It’s bad enough to be stuck at home but then to be out of coffee!

Dannie made note that there was less traffic on the turnpike and the gas prices were down.

My ribbon is going bad on my typewriter, so must send someone to Shetlers for some more ribbon!

Greetings from GarrettsvilleBy Rachel Miller

April 15, 2020: Wednesday evening, the sun just went down behind the trees. One evening last week, the sunset was beautiful. The sun was going down and shining on the trees across the road. They were yellow and orange. Today we had sunshine and rain and snow mixed and when we were eating supper it snowed big flakes. I think it snowed on the Easter flowers and the peepers 3 times now. So nice weather should come.

Last week we had all kinds of weather … sunshine, rain, warm, cold and windy. But it was the week before Easter.

We have been staying at home most of the time. Yesterday. I had to go for a pressure check on my eyes. We drive down. We also had to go to the bank and had to use the drive through. I really don’t like that, but so it is. We also picked up a prescription and got groceries.

Our good neighbor gave us 2 quarts of syrup, so we had pancakes, sausage and eggs.

When I was still at home, my mother would make pancakes, sausage or scrapple after we were done milking in the winter time. That was so good with fresh maple syrup. Mom helped milk too. I had to feed the chickens. Sometimes, if it was real cold, I had to thaw out the water fountains, And I had to help Dad clean the chicken coop, a job I didn’t care for. When Dad got a grist ready, I’d hold the bags while he put corn and oats or wheat in. One time I was holding the bag for him and a mouse ran up my leg. I did some jumping around. Dad thought it was funny. I didn’t see anything funny. (But he did get the mouse.)

My mother always cooked good meals. Every Saturday she would bake pies. As long as I can remember, she baked one for our neighbor and he would come pick it up. We always had a warm custard pie for our lunch. I always baked a cake. We made them from scratch.

I can hardly remember Mom raising her voice. I wish I was more like her. She always had her garden and worked it a lot. I guess that’s where I got that from as I also like to garden. I told my husband, as

long as I can keep going, I want a garden. My onion sets came today with

the rest of my seeds. So, I want to stick some in my little early garden. It’s really about full, but I’ll work around it. The stuff out there is growing.

I also got some flower seeds. So, I dreaming how I want them. I got zinnia seeds. I like them; they bloom all summer and make nice bouquets. Also, I put marigolds in where I have my row of flowers.

I still have one butternut squash in the root cellar. I want to bake half to eat and the other I will cook for pumpkin pie and pumpkin bread. The butternut squash is as good as pumpkins.

Barbara is only working 2 days. So, our spring cleaning is getting done. I like that. She spring cleaned today and everything smells so nice and clean.

I cut some new drapes for the entrance today and pinned them up ready to sew.

Hello from HuntsburgBy William Bender

Hello from Amish Crossing CornerBy Sarah Miller

Coffee Break with Sue By Susan Yoder

April 16, 2020: Everything’s looking new again. Such an uplifting time of year … a time of renewal for our hearts and our minds as we think of the “Risen Savior”. How hopeless would we be without Jesus.

The girls were here for the day yesterday. The scholars were along. We had homemade donuts to celebrate the end of the school term. I’m sure many parents have a new respect for the teachers after homeschooling the past month. Too bad it had to end. “Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivereth him out of them all”. Ps. 34:19.

Norm, the good husband that he is, has been doing our grocery shopping. (I have a problem dealing with the public right now, so I’m best off staying out.)

Dr. Rodieger, bless his heart, is open for business 3 evenings a week through April … if you’re lucky enough to find a ride here.

Noah and Barbara Yutzy and Ellen Hershberger have moved over on Shedd Road at Yoder Furniture in our church district.

We sold our horse Lady’s 2 colts, so now she’s alone again. I’m trying to convince Norm to get a pony or even a goat so she’s not so lonely.

“Til next time … Faith over Fear!

Good morning everyone. A nice blanket of snow out there and a little on the cold side. We had 23 degrees early this morning.

Is it really time for another letter? What will be on this paper I do not know. Sitting here at home I do not know what is going on in the neighborhood. I did go to Middlefield a few times, one time I went for my fingerstick. Boy, what I had to do just to check my blood. Oh, well, they have to do they what they have to do. The next time I went to get pills. We also got some food so we have something to eat. I sure hope they will not stop the mail or I will go nuts. But I do not have as far to go as most people. Oh, yes, I went to the blacksmith shop as Jimmy had to be shod.

We lost another friend, Beep’s Eli. In the last years, he lived in Guernsey County.

They buried him here beside his wife. No, he did not die from this flu. Fifty some years ago I worked with him in the woods, Grand River Hardwoods on Andy Scott’s mill.

Mothers, I had a really good mother and mother-in-law. I know that Mother’s Day is coming, but that is up to the children. That is their mother. It is Mother’s Day not Wife’s Day. Now I think everyone thinks they had the best mother. I wouldn’t trade my mother for all the mothers in the world. Now there are a lot of mother-in-law jokes out, but all joking aside, I could not say anything bad about my mother-in-law. And if she were still alive today, we would do something for her on Mother’s Day. She died 27 years ago at the age of 70.

I will ring off for this time, and hope by next time we will be back to normal.

April 24, 2020: Good morning on a sometimes sunny and sometimes cloudy morning. I for one am ready for some warmer weather. Time to get flower baskets done and gardens planted.

The bluebirds are nesting and it is so fun watching them. Am waiting on the orioles and hummingbirds.

I have most of my spring cleaning done. Remember when in the “old” days we would take all the bed mattresses outside on either 4 chairs or on sawhorses and pound the dust out? That was some job, hauling those those heavy things down from the upstairs and taking them back up!! But they did smell so much better. A lot more walls were wallpapered and that was a JOB!! The saying was a man and woman should paper a room together before they got married! Now you only have to wet the back and it’s ready to go, No more dealing with that gooey paste.

I guess they are slowly opening up some business places. So, maybe before long things will be more back to normal. Schools will probably start earlier in the

fall. Hopefully, the schools will be able to have their picnics later this summer.

Noah and Barb Yutzy and Ellen Hershberger have now moved to their place on Shedd Road, Ellen has been staying with an elderly lady all through the month of April, so she wasn’t able to be there when they moved. So, kind family and friends helped move her things and set up. Am sure she is anxious to see her place. She was able to help paint before going to her job.

Sister Edna and Bill Byler are both having some health issues at present. I hope to go visit soon. He’s had several light strokes and she has cellulitis in her feet, making it hard to walk. They are both in their eighties.

Well, I went so far not mentioning the “C-word”. I think those who have other health issues are hit the hardest. Let’s use common sense. Stay home when you’re sick and let’s put our trust in God to help us in these troubled times.

You all have a good week. Stay healthy!

By Katherine Byler

April 21, 2020: Well! At this writing, 4/21/29, we have to wonder, can we put our winter wear away for the summer? We had a wintry day Friday. So much so that someone asked me in town if I ordered it. He (C.H.F.) presumed because I keep track of the days to Christmas, perhaps I was responsible. (Not telling, yet.)

Henry Miller, Jr. retired from Burton Rubber as of April 1st and said he should have done it a long time ago. He is very much enjoying hanging out the laundry and washing dishes. (So he says.)

Crist and Mary Detweiler of 8889 Parker Rd., Orwell (or thereabouts) were eligible this year to be recognized for 55 years of marriage on February 9th. They haven’t been in this area again until recently. Congratulations!

Wishing I still had the book “Carrots Love Tomatoes”, telling me what NOT to plant next to each other in the garden. If I hear a ruckus any time soon, it’ll probably be the strawberries throwing a fit about those stinky onions a few feet away! Hope they won’t taste like each other.

Saw in the paper the other day Author Beverly Cleary turns 104. No interview, no nothing; one wonders … Also, in the paper, an obituary for former Mespo school teacher, Mr. (John) Santagata. He is the one-time teacher that used to appear “old” in a younger person’s eyes when he really wasn’t. As my eighth-grade teacher really wasn’t 80 like I thought!

There was a picture in the paper the other day that made me think of my mom. The gal was sitting at an old-fashion black Singer treadle sewing machine with her head down fast asleep! That’s a good memory I have, being quite tired (and who wouldn’t be with 10 boys?) and resting tired eyes for a moment or two. Another Mother’s Day and, as always, it brings sweet memories to mind, of one now gone from our midst for 35 years, and of a stepmother who passed on 18 years ago. May they ever rest in peace.
