Gloria Yoder and children involved in car accident, one passenger injured

I wanted to reach out to readers this week in place of Gloria. Gloria and two of her children were involved in a car accident last week. I am happy to report that they are OK, just shaken up and bruised up a bit. Another passenger, a woman who goes to Gloria's church, suffered some broken bones. While Gloria's church is a horse and buggy church, it is not uncommon to hire non-Amish drivers for errands into town. Gloria called it a 'miracle” no one was killed and it does sound like a serious car wreck. Gloria will fill you in more on it. Having been in a car accident or two myself over the years, one serious, I know how much it shakes you up mentally and physically so I told her to take a break for a week or two from the column.

So, thank you for your well wishes and prayers. If anyone wishes to send a card or good cheer to Gloria, her address is Gloria Yoder, 10510 E 350th Ave, Flat Rock, IL 62427. I know hearing from you would give her a lift.

With Thanksgiving right around the corner, I thought I'd share a recipe for a pumpkin pie that Gloria shared a couple of years ago in her column. Sounds delicious. Everyone take care and Gloria will be checking back in soon!
