Can you believe this??

I took my wife up to the dentist today to have a tooth removed.On the way we went through this little town that had these signs all over the place.(See attachment)

The Omish people are very hardworking, and thier craftsmanship is excellent. I find it hard to believe they do all the work by hand,not one power tool, no electric, no running water,TV,cars,AC, nothing.

I guess if you were born to it it wouldn't be so bad, but I don't think I could hack it

Not that uncommon. A few towns over from here there's a used buggy lot where you can buy yourself a buggy. The whole town over there is Amish. They make awesome furniture. We have a bunch of it.

LOL I used to live in Lancaster, PA ... What a tourist trap! It was hard driving through the summer...

They are a very interesting group and I remember seeing a nice movie about them. They make awesome wooden items including kitchen tools which are now sold in department stores (Fortunoff).

Those signs are standard fare where I come from.

Yeah, they're interesting all right. Even more so once you find out what all happens behind the scenes. You find out a lot more about them if you have Amish in your ancestry...

They have been in this area for a good many years, but I have never seen any signs, not that I think it's a bad thing, just unusual for this area.
Like I said, thier craftsmanship is second to none,IMO.

That is SO COOL!! A street sign advising us 21st-century-ers to pause a moment for the older ways..

Yeah, Brainchild, I can easily imagine how that would surprise one of us.

The amish work so hard, it would prolly kill me to try to keep up.And I have power tools.
A friend (a missionary from Beliese South America) says we work so hard to pay for the things to make our life easier,but if we had a simpler life we would likely get 10 hours sleep,and be in better shape.I'm begining to believe that.

We have those signs al over here nowadays. When they started poping up I was rather suprised myself.

But then again I do go past a cattle crossing sign on the way out to my Moms house.
