I'd love the opportunity to spend a day or a weekend on an Amish farm. We've been invited several times, but we've never taken any of them up on it.
I've been following for weeks the story about the break-away Amish group that has been cutting the hair of the married men and women of their former Amish group. I was glad to see that they made 7 arrests last week.
Yes, they truly are a beautiful people! We have lived among the Amish in Shipshewana part time for nearly eight years and have known Sam and Elizabeth all of that time....they are very dear friends. Ron & I plan to retire in Shipshewana hopefully within the year.
You should not pass up an invitation to visit with the Amish, take them up on it!
