Last week in Illinois we visited
Arthur. A farming community where the
Amish live. I am just fascinated with their simple way of life. It was a nice little road trip. We were all a little nostalgic thinking about Ralph and this was one of his favorite places to visit.
Here's my mother-in-law with my chicks. We had just eaten at
Yoder's Kitchen...oh my goodness. I love Amish food. There is nothing better than fried chicken, mashed potatoes, homemade noodles, bread and apple butter...yum!!!
On our way home I about wrecked the car trying to pull over to take pictures of all the clotheslines. Doesn't that seem crazy to us...putting clothes out to dry and especially when it's all of about 30 degrees.

I have enjoyed reading your blog posts, especially the ones detailing your visit in Illinois, and to see your parents. The house you grew up in is simply lovely. I would like to visit the Amish in Pennsylvania one day. Until then, I read.
ReplyDeleteThis is so funny you see when I was in college I studied the Amish. I lived for four months with an amish family in Indiana. This was the best four months of my life. I too am just amazed by their lives, the simplicity the sense of family. I could send you tons of ideas of books to read that you will really enjoy. I actually subscribed to the budget their newspaper years ago too.
