The highlight of our touring was a meal in an old order Amish family home. Not only was it the best food, but even better we enjoyed getting to know a real Amish family. It is not something they advertise but if you ask at the Mennonite Visitor center they have connections (as do some of the B&Bs/hotels, we are told). They were lovely people who stole our hearts. Though we have many differences that are obvious, we have so much in common. They showed us much kindness, letting us pet pu
ppies, ponies, showing us their buggy and how it works, not to mention the fabulous Thanksgiving-sized meal. The next day we went back to buy some amazing Amish peanut butter sauce from her and she had her grandkids next door hook up the miniature horse to the miniature buggy and take the girls on a ride. Her granddaughters also sang some beautiful hymns and songs for us. Singing is a great joy in their lives. We were blessed to have them share a little of that with us.
