CHAPTER 11

The last weeks at home truly helped Miriam to feel better. Not one time did she get called away for a birth or an energy healing. The only pregnancy written in her book was her own. In a few months, she would have a little boppli in her arms.

Anna’s little Abby and Emma were quickly growing. She enjoyed helping her sister-in-law care for the children, but they could be a handful at times.

This afternoon, the boppli and their mother were all napping, and Miriam was cooking. Making pie crust filled her with happiness. The aroma of the lard mixed with flour and the actual crumbling it together with her hands gave her deep satisfaction. As a youngster, her crusts were as hard as soapstone, but over the years, and with lots of practice, they became tender and flaky.

So far, she had two chickens roasting and two apple pies cooling. Now, only to finish these crusts and bake them off to use tomorrow for cream pies. The rich fragrance from her cooking filled the room and dropped her back into memories of her mamm and mammi cooking when she was young. Coming home from school, food smells welcomed her and wrapped the feelings of home around her body. As a grown woman, she experienced these same feelings. Soon, her child would have memories such as hers.

Levi and his brother, Wayne tramped into the back porch. “You two had better take off your boots before coming into the kitchen. I will not have you leaving mud and such all over my freshly mopped kitchen.

“Ok, we hear you,” Levi called out to her. Then she heard him muttering something to his brother.

The men hung their winter jackets on hooks, they came into the kitchen in their stocking feet.

“Go warm yourselves by the fire while I’m finishing supper. I will bring you kaffe while you wait. Go along.”

Levi smiled at her and wrapped his cold arms around her and nuzzled her neck with his cold cheeks. “Levi! Stop,” Miriam laughed at his antics. “You are freezing me.” Then he kissed her with his cold lips. “You are so bad.” Her words were half-jest.

“But I am warmer now,” he said and again, kissed her lightly on the lips before going into the front room to join his brother who had found his way to a recliner near the fire.

Miriam shuddered as the thrill of love passed through her. She didn’t know what she had done to deserve such love from her husband. They found each other as an older couple, not in their late teens or early twenties like so many of the Amish did. She had felt like she would be an old maid when she reached thirty, then a couple of years later, Levi came into her life. Suddenly, they were creating a family.

She filled the mugs with kaffe and took down the remaining chocolate chip cookies she made yesterday placing it all on a tray, she then headed toward the men.

“The new standard-bred horse will be here next week.
