Autumn is the heart of the traditional Amish wedding season in places like Lancaster County and other communities. Amish weddings draw large numbers of guests, and the Amish custom is to hold a day-long reception afterwards. Amish wedding receptions are typically large, with hundreds of guests, and require a lot of food. In some Amish communities, the custom is to rent a “wedding wagon“, a…
How do Amish folks maintain such a calm demeanor? Well, while poking around my friend’s library, I think I came across the secret. Attitude Adjustors: This innocent box just happened to be lying there on the shelf (within easy reach of a work desk, a stack of bills and other scary-looking papers, I might add). It seems Attitude Adjustors come standard in Amish homes. The…
We have a winner of the latest Name that Amish Community quiz, who got the right answers in yesterday evening just before the bell. Well done to Linda, who wins a year’s subscription to Family Life magazine. For those curious, I wanted to explain the thinking behind the quiz and how you could have solved it (with a bit of work! 🙂 ). Since I suggested…
Tragic story from the Adams County, Indiana community: Master Trooper Kurt Jack’s preliminary investigation reports that the girl, identified as four-year-old Barbara JC Graber of Berne, and two other Amish children were running across U.S. 27 and crossed into the path of a southbound Buick passenger car. The Buick, driven by Wayne Foust, 82, of Berne, hit and critically injured Barbara. The other two children…
Fireworks. A swamp. “Dead Man’s Hollow”. An Amish horse stuck up to its neck. It sounds like the elements of a TV drama or Halloween story. But these all came into play in the village of Union City in Michigan this past weekend. So I didn’t expect to post another Amish fireworks accident story so soon, but I guess the week following July 4th would…
Tired of presidential election coverage? Well that makes two of us. But I feel the Amish vote topic, which we touched on in the spring, is worth revisiting for a couple of reasons. Back in May we shared news of a Political Action Committee targeting Amish voters (“Amish PAC”) in Ohio and Pennsylvania, two key swing states, to generate votes for Donald Trump. The Amish…

Was ist los?
In case someone is not familiar with the German/Pennsylvania Dutch saying, “Was ist los?”, it is usually asked as a greeting with a meaning of, “What’s up?” or “What’s happening?” or “What’s wrong?”. However, the literal translation of “vass iss los” means “What is loose?”. The caption is a cute and very fitting play on words.

“Milking time!”
This is what occurred every day at my nextdoor neighbor’s farm when it was milking time. Traffic was stopped until all of the cows were safely herded across the road to the barn for milking time, and the reverse back to the pasture after milking time was finished! LOL. This brought back wonderful memories!
Cows?
Hey, can you move those cows a little faster. I have places to go.

Those are not the sort of pies I was hoping for when we came to Amish country.
