Some Photos From our "One Last Time" Get-together at the Groner Farm, 6-27-2026

 Most of these photos from Lisa Groner.  Thank!  The rainbow photo  was taken by her as she arrived home, almost as a "sign" from  our ancestors that they were pleased that we got together one last time to remember and honor their legacy.

Memories of Helping Grandma Getting Lunch to the Field

Memories of Helping Grandma Getting Lunch to the Field

by Donna Fennewald

"In the summer, mom  would send me "over the hill"  to Grandma's to help her with house work.  Uncle Paul and Uncle Hubert spent many hours in the fields, using "horsepower" and manual labor.  Hard work necessitated people ate 3 main meals (breakfast, dinner, and supper) and a mid-morning and mid-afternoon lunch.  For lunch, Grandma would pack up lard sandwiches,  sprinkled with cinnamon & sugar - on fresh slices of home-made bread, and send them out to the field where the men were working.  She also sent a glass jar of coffee and her soft cookies to round out the lunch. I would walk the lunch pail out to the field where they would be working, and they would stop work to eat lunch.  When I wasn't there, Uncle Hubert would come to the house and get the lunch.  

It seems Clara Sidney may have helped me with getting the lunch out to the field on some occasions."
