Just checking in having returned from Poland–feet planted firmly in the good old USA and enjoying the wonders of nacho cheese and air conditioning once again.  Other than that, am finishing up the final draft of the Amish business book among other things, which I’m afraid has made for slim pickings on the blog lately.  After that is squared away am looking forward to some (more regular) posting.

And looking forward to a trip next week to Lancaster County.  More posts to come then.

In the meantime, another blurry photo I’ve attempted to salvage–this of a Nebraska Amish community located in Northeastern Ohio.

    Well, despite the inclement weather, I managed to get up to Lancaster County and to my friends ‘Daniel’ and ‘Mary’, where I’ll be staying the next few days.  The last hour-and-a-half or so, from the PA line onward, was pretty hairy, as snow and ice accumulation made driving tricky.  I pulled in late Tuesday night to Daniel’s, happy and relieved to see the kitchen gas-lamp…

    Tomorrow (Monday) I ship off on a weeklong trip to East Coast Amish communities.  I’ll be visiting these settlements: Halifax County, VA Charlotte County, VA Lancaster County, PA Big Valley, PA Cecil County, MD Dover, DE And maybe one or two others. Big Valley I have visited, and Lancaster I know well.  The others are all new. Curious if anyone is familiar with these communities….

    According to the L.A. Times article (no longer online) mentioned in yesterday’s post, Lancaster County has seen 146 buggy-vehicle accidents in the past five years.  There have been a total of 205 injuries and seven fatalities. A few driving safety tips when traveling in areas with horse-drawn vehicles. Amish buggies travel approximately five to eight miles per hour.  This means the time you have to…

    Amos Hertzler is an Amish child born with a rare esophageal defect.  We’ve followed his story since it became public in 2011, mostly through news coverage and some reader reports. The Buffalo News is reporting that Amos is returning home after 15 months in a Boston hospital: But, Amos’ treatment for a rare esophagus problem did not work out as his family and doctors had…

    Chili (pronounced ‘CH-EYE-LIE’) is at the southern tip of the Holmes County settlement. The hamlet itself is actually located well inside Coshocton County.  It’s not much more than a few ramshackle homes at the juncture of a couple of country byways.  Leaving town, a partially-covered sign alerts drivers to the presence of horse-drawn traffic just ahead, marking the start of the world’s largest Amish community….

    I hadn’t seen a story like this before. On Saturday night, a likely-impaired driver struck an Amish buggy in Ethridge, Tennessee. The crash sent a baby and her parents to the hospital. The baby was treated and released. But the parents remain in Nashville. This has left the little girl in a difficult situation. And the community has stepped up. I’m not sure if these…

      Welcome back home!

      My husband and I lived in Germany for 3 years so I know the feeling of being back on US soil. For us it was exhilarating. 🙂

      Hope you have a good week ahead!
