The kitchen provides grange hall-type eating

Carl Leonhardt of Massillon lost his job as a mechanical designer and draftsman in April 2009. His benefits ended this month, he’s depleted $75,000 in retirementParty bridesmaid dresses savings, and he’s now pursuing a degree in health care administration, which he’ll get when he’s 58.

“I’m scared because I’m 55,” he said. “And I have nothing to show for all those years of work.”

While some say it’s ridiculous to apply for jobs that pay less than they get from unemployment, many of the unemployed object to claims that unemployment benefits remove incentive for them to seek work.

“That’s what I used to say,” said Kendall, who says he has submitted as many as 15 résumés a week listing his experience operating nuclear reactors on a Navy submarine and decades as an electrical engineer. “Just because somebody’s not working doesn’t mean he’s lazy. Just because he hasn’t found a job in the last 2 1/2 years doesn’t mean he’s lazy.”Most church basements are spare and awful looking, so what bride and groom would want a reception where you can’t bring any bubbly and you are stuck underground?

Lynn Hallstrom has an option for winter weddings, fall funerals or any event that needs to be held indoors against the chill.

Four years ago, Hallstrom, who is about to retire from Boeing, bought A Chapel on Swan’s Trail. Her goals were twofold: Provide a year-round bucolic setting for weddings — and other events — and provide herself with a nest egg.It is movie-set charming. Built in 1915, the white chapel with the wood-shingled steeple — legend has it that the bell was stolen before it was installed — overlooks the picture-perfect Snohomish River Valley and beyond.

The Lutherans put the chapel together using fir for the floors and wainscoting. Framed pictures from Sunday school lessons of the 1950s still hang in the kitchen.

The kitchen provides grange hall-type eating where caterers can serve food but not prepare it. The bride’s classically designed dressing room is off the kitchen, where a blow-up plastic kiddie pool once dominated the room in an earlier day care era.
