On Lovina’s birthday, another summer wedding gets ‘published’

Lovina’s sister brought a cake to celebrate Lovina’s 45th birthday.

It is 6:42 a.m. and our threeyoungest just left with the busfor another day at school. Theyare counting the days left of thisterm. Eight and one-half days

left! I still have a hard time get-ting used to the bus coming thisearly. All the years our childrenwent to school, the bus was nev-er here until 7 a.m. or a little af-ter. Changes are hard to get usedto in our lives! Talking about changes in life.Our family will have anotherchange and I’ll probably havethe hardest time with it. On theother hand, I’m excited and hap-

py for daughter Susan, 20, andher special friend, Mose. Theywere published in church this

past Sunday to announce theirwedding date. They picked Fri-day, Aug. 5, for their special day. Mose and Susan have been

dating for four years and wehave no doubt in our minds thathe will be a good husband toour daughter. He seems like myown son and I hope that neverchanges. It is so much easier ona couple if both families acceptthe life partner of their familymember. May God bless theirmarriage and grant them manyhappy, healthy years together! With the wedding coming upI see busy months ahead! Wewill be more organized thanwith Elizabeth and Timothy’swedding. We were in the pro-cess of putting up a pole barnlast year, which delayed all theother work.

Susan’s dress for the weddingis mostly nished. The rest ofours are cut out, but still waitingto be sewn. That is what I plan todo the next few days. I feel better to sew now sinceour whole garden was plantedSaturday. We are enjoying rad-ishes and green onions from theearly things we planted. Moseand his brother Freeman assistedus with our work on Saturday. The pole barn was organizedand cleaned up. When it getscloser to the wedding, we wantto wash down the walls andceilings on both sides of the

pole barn. We will set tables in both sides and open the garagedoor that’s in the middle. Mose and daughters Susanand Verena planted owers inmy ower beds. We put out 68tomato plants. With everyone’shelp, the garden was quickly

lled. Now it’s up to our goodLord to provide sunshine andrain to make things grow. Someyears we have a bountiful cropand others not much, but we

want to take what “He” sends. On Sunday, May 22, I alsoturned another year older. Wehad communion services at sis-ter Emma and Jacob’s house.After the services were over,everyone sang “Happy Birth-day” to me and sister Emma

brought out a cake with candles.

Luckily she only had a four andve for candles. I don’t know ifI could have handled blowingout 45 candles. Emma sent the cake homewith me. We had it for supperwith our children. The chil-dren went after pizza in townand they grilled hot wings so Iwouldn’t have to cook on my

birthday. We had a nice eveningtogether! On Thursday, we traveled toBerne, Ind., to brother Amosand Nancy’s house for the wed -ding of their daughter Lovinaand Benjamin. They had a verynice day. On the menu werefried chicken, mashed potatoes,gravy, noodles, dressing, mixedvegetables, lettuce salad, slicedcheese, homemade bread, but-ter and rhubarb jam. Also pies

(rhubarb, blueberry, cherry and

pecan), tapioca pudding, angelfood cake, fruit cocktail dessert,and of course, “nothings” wereon all the tables. Sausage wasadded in the evening. It wasnice to see a lot of family again. On a sadder note; Friday,May 20, brought memories ofthe passing of my dear father,Ben Coblentz, 16 years ago.How nice it would be to havemy parents at all their grand-children’s weddings. God’sways are not our ways so weneed to accept what He sends tous. I must get busy. I love sew-ing, but it’s different if you havea deadline to get things done. It

kind of takes away the enjoy-ment, but we will take one dayat a time. God’s blessings!

‘Cats are doing a great service’Dear Editor, We applaud Wanda Rohlf,David and Patsy Glick, andReda and Wendall Adamsfor their recent letter to the

Paulding Progress regard-ing the care and feeding ofthe cats at the fairgrounds. Ifanyone should be prosecuted,it should be those who dumpthe cats in the rst place. Isn’t it possible that thosecats do a great job of extermi-nating mice and other rodentsat the fairgrounds? The Black Plague in medi-eval Europe came about be-cause cats were believed to beevil and exterminated, leavingthe rat population to multiplyfreely and in turn carry the

eas that carried the BubonicPlague. Half of the human

population subsequently died.The cats are actually doing agreat service. To whomever posted thatnotice: Please, please recon-sider and take it down!

Parents thankfulfor Kindergarten

Young 5’s classDear Editor, “Oh, what changes a yearcan bring when you’re learn-ing and having fun”! Thesewords were spoken by ourdaughter, Addilyn, at her YKend-of-the-year program,and describe what the Young5’s program did for her. Shelearned A LOT, met newfriends, and had fun whiledoing so. A year ago, we were faced

with the decision to sendAddilyn to developmental

preschool at PEVS for asecond year or open enrollto Wayne Trace and takeadvantage of the Young 5’sTransitional KindergartenProgram at Payne Elementa-ry. The decision wasn’t easy

– there was more to it thanher riding a bus to and fromschool every day. Could shewithstand being in school allday, every day? We had to setup new, after-school childcarefor her, and rearrange ourwork schedules so we couldtransport her to school everyday, since we do not reside inthe WT school district. Thisopportunity was also possible

because the classroom wasnot full. They do take childrenwho reside within the WTdistrict rst. In the fall, Addilyn startedout the school year being ableto identify approximately 10letters, and very few numbers.Writing these letters and num-

bers was even more dif cult.She could write her name, butit was nothing spectacular.Addilyn’s progress has beenremarkable, and the creditgoes to Mrs. Rachel Hire, theYoung 5’s Transitional Kin -dergarten teacher. Mrs. Hiredoes AMAZING work withthese little people! As the year progressed,Addilyn was able to identifyall of the letters, numbers,and shapes; her writing beganto improve, and she beganto sound out and read sightwords. She is now able tosound some words out, iden-tify sight words, spell simplewords, and do simple math. This kindergarten programnot only focuses on the maindevelopmental skills such asletter and number recognition/writing, but it also incorporatesreading, math, science, art,gym, music and so much more. Of course, there has to becarry-over in the home, too,to strengthen these skills. Wehave spent a lot of time rein-forcing what was being taughtin the classroom. We are so grateful thatAddilyn could partake in thiswonderful opportunity. Wehave no doubt that she will beready for traditional kinder-garten in the fall. The staff atPayne Elementary made thisyear of change a great one forus – THANK YOU all for theyear of education, guidanceand patience. If you’re interested inlearning more about this greatopportunity, call Payne Ele-mentary at 419-263-2415.

You know you’re in for achallenging day when…. We’ve all experienced the

beginning of a day that appears to be full of challenges.We leave for work to nd a attire on our car, we can’t nd

our car keys, we realize we just missed an important ap- pointment; all such incidentsseemingly serve as indicatorsthat the day ahead might have

been better spent in the shelterof home without attempting toface the outside world. A visit to an area drive-through restaurant a few daysago t a similar category bet -ter known as, “I just can’t be-lieve it.” It all started when I wasforced to wait for what seemedlike an “uncalled for” lengthof time behind a car placingan order in the drive-throughline. Whatever the situation

was with the vehicle in frontof me, things didn’t speed upat the pay window or the pick-up window. I placed my order, paid formy food and so far, all waswell. I was just minutes, atleast I thought, from retriev-ing my breakfast sandwich,oatmeal cookie and coffee. But then things began tochange. For over 10 minutes Iwaited while my food was be-ing assembled. After a seem-ingly endless wait, I was toldthe problem was baking my

by Jim Langham

oatmeal cookie but it wouldsoon be nished. I continued to wait whilecars lined up behind me. Para-noia set in as I just knew thateveryone waiting behind mewas saying, “What is it withthat guy up there? Just howmuch can one man order?” Finally, the individualworking in the pick-up win-dow came to me and said,“Your cookie will be ready in30 seconds, would you please

pull into the parking spaceover there and we will bring itto you?” You’ve got to be kiddingme, I thought. I waited 10minutes at the pick-up win-dow to be told I would need

to move along and wait in aspeci ed parking area becausemy cookie was 30 secondsaway. But the drama wasn’t over.

By now I decided I wasgoing to time the momentsand see how long 30 secondswould actually stretch into. SoI waited ve minutes, 10 min -utes and nally, 14 minuteslater, an employee came to thecar with a small box and said,“There sir, there is your freshhot cookie.” This was good, I now hadmy coffee, which I picked upat the window and the cookiewhich was nally delivered tome, but what about my break-fast sandwich? “Oh, I’m sorry,” said theemployee. “No one told meyou had a breakfast sand-

wich.” So the waiting cycle beganagain until the smiling em-

ployee returned with my sand-wich. “Sorry for the wait, sir, havea good day,” was the com-ment, and we were all nallyon our way. The cookie was hot andgood, the sandwich was good,the coffee was nearly goneand 31 minutes later I was offinto the day, wondering whatdrama was just around the cor-ner.
