After it was done, we tore off the paper. There are 6 down and 4 across. I had my mother-inlaw put it together after we were married. I have since quilted myself, but, when I was first married, I didn’t for a while. I used this quilt on my bed for a while, but didn’t want it to wear out, so now have it hanging on my quilt rack. They also had a couple goats and gave us goat cheese and fudge. I remember he always said, “Feed a cold and starve a fever” when you are sick.
For summer enjoyment we liked to fish. We did a lot of fishing in what we called Joe Yoder’s creek. Brother Reuben took us sometimes where there were big fish … like in Burton Station in the river by the church … or in what we called the Polka (not spelled right) hole. When Melvin Wengerds moved on the Durkee Farm, we did a lot of fishing there … and blackberry picking. (A lot of times, the cousins helped us.) Then, we went for the river. We had a lot of fun in that river. We knew how far we could go in and where all the holes were. Today, that farm is all growed up in brush. No more buildings. We were in Clymer the other week and Atlee said he took a walk in the back there when he came in. He said there are trees in the fields he plowed. All we have of that farm are memories.

Summer Places Then and Now
memories of Summer A New Memory By Susan Yoder Awhile back one evening, son Joey hitched the horse that was just fresh broke to a cart and took him for a spin … which he had done numerous times before. Unbeknownst to us, Joey hit a pothole on Bridge Road and one wheel broke off and the horse took off for home minus Joey! The horse ran across 528 and into our driveway, dragging the 1-wheeled cart. It was not a nice feeling not knowing what had happened and where Joey was!! Thankfully, minutes later Joey came into the driveway with a kind lady who had offered him a ride. And Joey was fine. The horse had a banged up hind leg that is healing up nicely. All’s well that ends well.
A Special Quilt By Rachel Miler When I was 11 years old and in the eighth grade, my sisters and I would go and sit with our Englisch neighbor lady while her husband went to church on Wednesday evenings. They were older and she was always in bed. She would sit up in bed and we had chairs beside the bed. We cut out star points on newspaper, eight points to a block, and we’d cut out material she had and sew it on by hand. The material was any size or color and not too big pieces. Some material was plain and some checkered. There were 8 to 10 pieces to a point. My older sister and I had enough for a quilt. I don’t think my younger sister had quite enough.
