Lovina's Amish Kitchen: Lovina thanks readers for their prayers
Today is already the last day of April. Four months of 2024 have passed. Where does time go? One week after another slips by. Today, my husband, Joe, has an appointment with the doctor that did his surgery last week. Joe has been off work for a week due to getting a splinter in his hand as long as a toothpick while at work. He went to the hospital after it happened, and they couldn’t find it through the X-ray. Joe stayed home from work for a few days because his hand hurt so bad and kept swelling up. Joe doesn’t usually complain much if he gets a splinter, but this time he had a lot of pain.

Looking at small town America through the viewfinder – and a cup of gas station coffee
I love starting my day by grabbing a cup of gas station coffee and shooting up a small town. The towns around here are so small, some mornings I can shoot up two or more. My weapon of choice is a vintage Canon. Vintage by today’s standards because it’s more than five years old. It’s nothing fancy − a fixed-lens model I bought for less than $500. But it’s not about the camera or how much you pay for it. You have an eye for photography or you don’t.
