| The amish man we visited was so nice. His whole family was. He took the day off to take us around and show us some shops. We visited a shop where they make buggys and carts. We visited where he works. He does wood working making cabinets and such and we visited his farm. It was a really nice time. They made us feel very welcome. His wife made us lunch one day. The kids were great, all 11 of them. I learned the Amish choose to live a simple life without a lot of junk cluttering things. They live by the good book. They take turns having church in there in their house. The house was very open, not a lot of walls. All the kids go to school until the 8th grade. Then they learn a trade. Some work at home running a farm or ranch. Others go to work. They travel by horse and buggy or bicycle. When they decide to make a change, the whole community is in on the decision. I learned a lot but want to learn so much more. I'll see what I can learn next summer. I can't wait! =) |
