I hope everyone is having an amazing summer. If the past two years have taught me anything, it's important to be thankful for everything you have! Love hard, live life to the fullest, and laugh whenever you can!

We lost an amazing woman today. I often called her a crazy old bat to which she would respond.. you're damn straight...lol god i love this woman..she was the epitome of a true bad ass.. not only did she live a life of service to others she was the one who taught me to not take s**t from anyone.....stand your ground and always be yourself.....don't sugarcoat who you are because someone else doesn't like it.. she was my inspiration and my motivation...more than once when i was second-guessing myself, i would call her and her answer was always the same...knock that s**t off and get down to business..do what you gotta do..
when it came to serving others she was one hell of a role model...
Aunt Peggy .....there will never be anyone like you...my heart is broken but i know if you knew i was shedding any tears you would be the first one to kick my ass... I've shed a few but i can hear your voice...stop cryin and remember the good times...i love you ya crazy old woman...now rest easy and don't give god a hard time...i will pick up where you left off....

With the low temperatures this week (January 15th through January 20th), the North Manchester Public Library will be available as a Warming Center all week long for those who need relief from the cold. The library is open 9am to 8pm Monday through Thursday, and 9am to 5pm Friday through Saturday.

(Note: Please be careful coming in! We have salted the parking lot, but due to the extreme temperatures there are still ice patches.)

We will have hot water and tea available, as well as restrooms and comfortable places to sit. Those who are without heat are invited to come in and spend the day with us! No library card or check outs are needed - just come in and warm up in one of our comfortable seating areas.

Need some entertainment while you're here? Feel free to browse the collection, enjoy fixing a puzzle, play a board game, or use our computers. Try out the 3D Printer, help yourself to fresh veggies from the Tower Garden, or settle in with your headphones and smart device to listen to audiobook from one of our two free e-libraries.

Stay warm and stay safe North Manchester!

Happy Sunday everybody! Don't forget to be thankful for all you have...Even if it's not much in the material things, you have yourself and that alone is priceless!! Take care of you!

Remember that every day is what YOU make it. You can't sit and dwell in anger or sadness. It's up to you to be the catalyst for change in your life. Last year was rough on everyone. I survived it but it took a toll. Right now, I'm sitting here in Florida as a volunteer for the Red Cross watching people try to pick up the pieces of their lives. Many of them lost everything in Hurricane Idalia. I look back at what I've been through and it pales in comparison...I am blessed beyond measure to still have the important things in my life. Many blessings everyone...

I've learned a lot this year. One of the most important things is to live in the moment. That's really all we have. Grab every moment you can and try not to waste them by worrying. Moments are precious and they go way too fast. Hold on tight to your joy and share it with others!!

When my uncle passed away, it made me think of all the changes he had seen and what an impact he had on others throughout his life....his was my version of "A Successful Life"...
Everyone is trying to be successful. Their work, their hobbies, their family...whatever avenue it may be. The sad thing is many people judge their success by whether or not they have money, drive a BMW or what side of town they live on. Let me tell you my version of a successful life well lived.
A person who is born into a farm family, well raised with church on Sunday and straight up family values served with large helpings at every meal. Working the soil and raising livestock. Dedicating every minute of your life to making sure your family's fed and has what they need. A brother leaves to join the service and you are left to help your parents and your sisters. You till the ground and follow in your father's footsteps.
Your mom and sisters work alongside you and working together you keep the family going. You take a wife in the bleakest of financial times and are then called off to war. You do your time and serve your country. Doing what others fear to do. You landed on the shores of Normandy and fought for the country you love in the hopes that everyone would be better off because of your effort.
When you return home, you start a family, carrying on those family traditions you grew up with. You teach them how to till the soil and work the livestock. Baling hay is a monthly ritual. The sun rises and sets and each day you take another step towards being a "success". Your children grow up and have families of your own. You continue to work the land and with each season that passes you see the fruits of your labor.
Children, grand children, great-grandchildren, even a great great grandchild all make their entrances into your world as your life begins to pass by faster and faster. Nieces and nephews who look to you for advice and reassurance. You pass on years of wisdom to all who will listen and pray for those who don't. You never turn your back, but gently encourage them to do what's right, even though sometimes you doubt they will ever get it.
At the close of your life, people gather around to say their good byes and share their memories. If you could only hear what they say and know the love they feel for you. It's not about money or wealth. It's about round bales of hay rolling down a hillside and little children to small to climb the steps of your bus. The ones you had to get out and help to get in on their first days of school. The 4-H sheep contests that your grandsons took so much pride in, all of these memories are the things that show your success. For a life well lived, you have blessed us all and we will miss you dearly.....RIP Robert Ihnen....you are forever with us in every memory we share.

North Manchester at the Corner Update

It's been six months since I closed the doors at North Manchester @ the Corner. At the time I was overwhelmed by several events that all occurred within a short period of time. The passing of my mom and former mother-in-law were two of the most stressful. Problems with my health were also a major concern. The building was a disaster as well when it became apparent that there was more wrong with it than was disclosed when I purchased it.
Although the business got off to a slow start, it had steadily been gaining ground. The former owners were not willing to give me a chance to let it reach its full potential before they decided to go full force to get the building back. With the health problems I was experiencing, I doubt I could have kept it going anyway with all the repairs that needed to be made.
With all that being said, I still plan on trying to make North Manchester @ the Corner something that will benefit the community. I may not have a building or physical location, but I do have a strong willingness to support our town and its citizens in whatever capacity as I can. If you have any suggestions, I'm open to them. I've thought about showcasing a local business each week or maybe one of our hometown heroes.
Our community is rich with traditions and small town values. I'm hoping all of you will help me share all the amazing things our town has to offer. Send me a recipe or a story. Share your memories and let's get back to what country living is all about.
I'm sorry it's taken so long for me to get back into the swing of things. Sorting through scattered thoughts and trying to find a way to rebuild after your world crumbles isn't easy. It is thought provoking though and it has shown me how strong I can be when the need arises. In spite of all the losses, I have so much more to look forward to.
Let's work together to see what we can come up with!!
