Hello there, Colleen! Interesting post with GREAT photos. Can't get enough of the Amish. Thanks for sharing, Fondly, Robin
SunbonnetSmart.com Hi Robin, thanks for your comment and compliments! I'm touched!
I don't know why, but also have I been so curious of Amish. I really needed to go down there and see their community up close!
It seems to me that many of us are sort-of enamored with the Amish lifestyle, though I'm sure it would take lots of getting used to, for us city folks used to modern conveniences. But as a Christian believer, I know why a lot of us, including Muah,
romanticize the Amish life. :)
Loved the post. Thank you for sharing!

HomeRearedChef Hi Virginia, Amish community are pro-actively denying the modernization. They refuse to be influenced by TV and internet. It amazed me. Can you imagine a life without internet?
They lighten the house with propane-powered lamp, only because they deliberately cut the electricity, to deny modern influences.
Surprisingly only about 10% of Amish youngsters abandon Amish lifestyle.The young Amish girls are so beautiful with their hair never cut in their lives. I'm sure they would be so popular with guys if they become Americans! (I heard from the guide that Amish people call all non-Amish people "American" :))
tennismama I've heard that not many will abandon their lifestyle, but I had no idea it was that low. When life gets to hectic and crazy, I find myself often telling my hubby "lets go and join the Amish," to which he always replies, "Just say when."
My husband, a man of simple pleasures, and extremely resourceful and handy, would very easily adapt. There I go again, romanticizing! :)
HomeRearedChef Why did I forget to reply to this comment. Silly me. I laughed so much when I read your reply. "Just say when" Your husband is so awesome!!! Oh yeah, I'm sure that you lovebirds will romanticize in Amish environment! Let me know when too. I'll drive down to meet brand new members of Amish community! :)
tennismama Yippeee! I'm packing now. :)
