Since you are all so interested, I will share with you exactly why I love the Amish. Some of you probably find this is a very strange thing seeing as I am a graphic designer, photographer and all around high-maintenance kind of gal – definitely NOT Amish.<\/p>\n

The Amish remind me of a simpler time in my life. No, I was never Amish myself, but I used to wear a bonnet every\u00a0so often\u00a0when I was young (don’t ask me why). Anyway, from age 4 to 10 years old\u00a0I was living in Minnesota and there was a HUGE Amish community up there. My mom and I would go often and I remember even going\u00a0there as\u00a0school trips a couple times. We would churn butter, make ice cream, buy pies and quilts, bonnets, etc. They had accents. They were so sweet to us. The kids were fun to play with. There was\u00a0a peacefulness and innocence\u00a0to it all.<\/p>\n

So, when I think about the Amish, a\u00a0lot of nostalgia follows.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Why was I thinking about the Amish when I last posted? Well,\u00a0a few hours southwest of us in southeast Missouri\u00a0is an Amish\u00a0community. We pass it on our way to camp every year and since camp is next week – it got me thinking about them again. I have\u00a0never stopped to\u00a0visit or shop. If it weren’t for our time-frame – I totally would. I always\u00a0hope to see a family in a horse and buggy. Last year I did see them and I got so excited.<\/p>\n

Who wants to go with me some time?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Yes, I am a nerd. No need to tell me.<\/p>\n

Have a good day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
