We have visited, and I can almost say that sometimes I envy their way of life. It may be hard work, and their ways can be restrictive, but maybe they know something we don't. Their farms are beautiful, and food is so good. I'm glad you dedicated a post to honoring them. We have given us so many of the fine, old ways.LANAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05946005009680968861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5672117109679216195.post-38394864798502715452012-06-09T03:15:47.121-05:002012-06-09T03:15:47.121-05:00I really enjoyed your pictures and gentle descript...I really enjoyed your pictures and gentle description<br />It was a joy and a pleasure reading your blog.Gina (Catswhiskers)https://www.blogger.com/profile/09726040008882998826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5672117109679216195.post-75850191226107336802012-06-09T02:36:10.994-05:002012-06-09T02:36:10.994-05:00I love reading your blog ,I'm in the senior st...I love reading your blog ,I'm in the senior stage of life so I truly appreciate the slower pace of life that seems to have almost disappeared<br />I have tried to take your buttonbut so far unsuccessfullycottonreelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05079291444036839673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5672117109679216195.post-31389069039690672172012-06-07T14:58:36.364-05:002012-06-07T14:58:36.364-05:00I treasure my Amish friends.

I totally agree with you, it would be a sad day, if they started to use modern transport.<br />I see a car parked next to the photo of the buggy and horse.! times do change. <br />Its like our local gypsies, they come too and fro spain portugal.. they have no rules. they trade in horses.<br />but lately they are using big trucks. We dont see them in their old buggy with the horse or mules.<br />Your photos are so lovely.. it looks a beautiful area.<br />great that you enjoyed your meal.<br />happy days<br />valvalerietilsten59.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05617190196811279000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5672117109679216195.post-10267883373357990372012-06-06T08:03:36.738-05:002012-06-06T08:03:36.738-05:00Our farm is in the heart of central PA Amish count...Our farm is in the heart of central PA Amish country and I never tire of the horses and buggies and glimpsing at an old way of life.

Your photos wonderfully told the story and gave a glimpse of their ways of life and travel. <br /><br />We have a large Mennonite settlement East of us. They travel the countryside by horse and wagon. I love seeing them riding by too, a reminder to slow down, keep it simple. <br /><br />Years ago, when I lived in Iowa we would vist the Amana Colonies in South central Iowa. My dad surprised my mom one year with a gorgeous handmade wicker and wooden rocker. An anniversary gift in the sixties. I also have a walnut jewelry box he had made for her.<br /><br />Thank you for these words and photos and refreshing my memories.Lynnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08723721131329150461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5672117109679216195.post-53920847240523711352012-06-05T22:47:22.038-05:002012-06-05T22:47:22.038-05:00The Amish way of life is a good one-wholesome and ...The Amish way of life is a good one-wholesome and dedicated to God. It is hard, however, to keep the kids convinced that the "old ways" are best. The Ordnung is being ignored more and more as the culture emerges.<br /><br />I used to go into schools and churches and teach classes about the Amish. I still have a great love for the life.<br /><br />Great post here today- xo DianaNanaDianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14298962791700019785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5672117109679216195.post-86704238026558843402012-06-05T22:18:40.674-05:002012-06-05T22:18:40.674-05:00I also live near a large Amish community in Lancas...I also live near a large Amish community in Lancaster, Pa.

Lunch there was very good. Have you tried the fried sweet potatoes? <br /><br />I didn't see any buggies at all, except for the display at CC. But I did see tractors. <br /><br />It is so scary to think of those children rising on a tractor like that.
