Hi Ladies !!! I love the conversation about the Amish...It reminds me of when I was a young girl and I went to the Amish country with my family..I remember feeling such a sense of peace there...Everyone seemed so nice and polite and I remember seeing the kids getting along so well with each other...I know it sounds incredibly corny but I just don't understand why it can't be that way everywhere...sigh...

Bonnie..the wagon and the pies is amazing...I would love that but it would be a real challenge for the waistline...lol....

Bonnie and Jan....  okay now yall are making me hungry!  I love the Peanutbutter Pie from the Dutch Heritage in Sarasota!!!~!!! 
Comment by Jan (Ship 04 Div 802) on January 30, 2011 at 2:09pm

I  just thought the joke was cute. My husbands sister married an Amish. His parents still live out on a farm. Of course, Bert is no longer considered Amish. They are the ones that drove from Ohio to see R graduate. They are wonderful people and have been very close to R since he was born. When we lived in Ohio, We would go to Sugarcreek and Walnut, where most of the Amish live.

 

Lydia, that is where the original DerDutchman is. Dutch Heritage in Sarasota, is part of that.

Jan....  bahahahahahah --- tooo funny!!!!  loved it!

 

Bonnie - awe poor hortheys!  They make the best home grown foods and pies and all too.  Actually that was part of what was funny about the joke...  Bonne, Jan and I lived near a huge Amish area of Sarasota and I dont think other than the very young ladies... I ever saw a skinny amish woman.  They are all soo plump but of course if I could cook and bake the wonderful way they all do I probably would be too!  They are amazing ppl with great earthy talents for certain!  Tickles me about the generators for their sewing machines though! 

 

Navymom - thank you and Im much better and yes stress over our children which is a mothers God given right hahahahahahahahahahah is hard on our bodys and there is no doubt that I have been stressed since B left for boot camp back in July~!  Up until he grad RSS last week.  So 7 months of it--- yup!  No doubt about it plus I am adopting my 6 year old grandson and at 52 I was not ready to raise another child but I will do my best of best.!!! 

 

Im sooo glad to see everyone hanging in here from time to time!

Amish and the elevator

 

An Amish boy and his father were in a mall. They were amazed by almost everything they saw, but especially by
two shiny, silver walls that could move apart and then slide back together again.

The boy asked, "What is this Father?"

The father (never having seen an elevator) responded, "Son, I have
never seen anything like this in my life, I don't know what it is."

While the boy and his father were watching with amazement, a fat old lady in a wheelchair moved up to the moving walls and pressed a button. The
walls opened and the lady rolled between them into a small room. The walls closed and the boy and his father watched the small circular numbers
above the walls light up sequentially.

They watched until it reached the last number and then the numbers began to light in the reverse order. Finally the walls opened up again and a gorgeous 24-year-old blonde stepped out.

The father said quietly to his son...

"Go get your mother."

Hey New, Hey Jan!  Lydia, love the pic...I hope you don't mind but I saved it so I could put it in the book I'm making.  I don't think I say it enough but I am in awe of each and every one of you and am sooooo thankful I have you guys to come to everyday!

Good Saturday Morning yall! Gosh I have missed everyone here!!!!! I have been sick as a dog with the flu and then on top of that food poison! Man our kids are growing up and it hurts... I remember my first love and how I lost it. I remember my first engagement and how it broke apart. Oh the painful lessons of life that cause us to become who God wants us to be. uggggg sure does not help us mommies though! Im sure proud of yall that have stayed together here. Some are off and running in their training and some of your boys hint hint are in need of prayer having some problems in their training... So dont forget each other!!! Such a long road ahead!!! .

Here we need a warrior angel for our kids......
