The jacket prince and princess are freshmen rep supper. Guess what, after supper dishes were washed by Levi (Liz's husband), with help from Joe and Jacob, who wiped the dishes dry. They were singing while doing it, as the girls put away the food. I guess that was a rare occasion for the men to be seen helping in the kitchen. Hal What would I do without family? Ironing was on the list to do today and also canning of green tomato pickles.

Never thought I would get those canned as it's such good eating from those jars. A friend of Liz shared the recipe and now it's in our family to help fill those canning jars for the long winter ahead. I will share a recipe used for the dressing I mentioned earlier served at weddings. It also would be good for those upcoming Thanksgiving meals. Simple Dressing 1 whole loaf of bread 3 eggs, well-beaten 2 tablespoons of butter 3 cups of chicken broth 4 tablespoons of chopped celery 1 medium onion teaspoon of poultry seasoning salt and pepper to taste Toast bread, cut in cubes.

Combine celery, onion, and seasonings. Bring broth to a boil and add to bread and celery. Add eggs last and stir well. Put into casserole dish and bake 1 hour at 350.

Box 2144, Middle-town, Ohio 45042. It is 9 a.m. on this Tuesday, Oct. 17, 2000. This is the time of day that wedding services started off when my husband Ben and I were united into marriage in 1957.

Lots of memories linger, and who thought a year ago that Ben would not be here for our 43rd anniversary. Only God knows the reason why he is not here. I can remember that day so clearly: At 4 a.m. my sister and I were hard at it frying chicken, which was to be served for the noon meal after our wedding. Many invited guests couldn't attend because of the Asian flu at the time.

As I have written about in the past, I also had a severe case of the Asian flu at the time. The week before our wedding my temperature was up to 105. Being 21 years old, it seemed high enough. Most of our family was down with flu but everyone was OK, only feeling weak by the wedding day. We caught the flu bug visiting someone who had it.

It was so catching, but we hadn't realized it. My father, Ben, and one of my sisters never caught it. My mother was still in bed on the Tuesday before our wedding day, which was on a Thursday. Some women came over on that Tuesday to help bake the pies and make those "nothings," (a traditional Amish wedding pastry, recipe is at www.theamish-cook.com) which most weddings around here serve. You'll see them on the wedding tables.

Some serve the cakes from sheet cakes on trays, have layer cakes on the cake stands and are cut on the wedding day. It's usually a variety of cakes. The single girls arrive on Wednesday to help peel and cut potatoes. Celery is also washed and vegetables diced up for the dressing. Thursday, the day of the HIGGINS Eagle Scouts Two Boy Scouts, members of Ontario Troop 170, have earned the rank of Eagle Scout.

In some places, chicken is cut up to be fried on the wedding morning. There, are many cooks helping and the tables are set. Lots of work goes into preparing for a wedding day.

With plenty of women for cooks, it makes it easier for everyone. The waiters are single boys and girls who make sure everyone has enough food. We had seven single couples as waiters at our wedding, some have many more. There are lots of dishes, kettles, silverware and pans to get washed for both meals. There is a noon meal right after the wedding and an evening supper for those who stay all day.

It always seemed easier to get those dishes out of the cupboards than to put them back in order. Ben and I then moved onto our current farm on March 11,1958. What a change it made in life. Now we have six girls and two boys and 30 grandchildren (31, counting Mary Shelter who passed away). How time flies.

As I look out my window now, the leaves are falling from the trees. They are such beautiful colors of all kinds, beautiful fall weather. Later in the evening: daughters Liz and children and Emma and children spent the day here. Their husbands joined them here for supper. Son Albert and sons gave me a visit also towards evening.

Joe, Lov-ina and family also came for resentatives on the homecoming court.
