Recently I visited Lancaster County in early November, where it happened to be a sunny week before the snowstorms began. One of the highlights of my husband’s and my visit was to have supper with an Amish friend and her family, who were busy with the last of the jobs that had to be done […]
When you get a novel with the front cover showing an Amish woman in the foreground and dry, desolate land as far as the horizon in the background, your mind starts wandering to what it is all about. Then you couple that with the title, Wonderful Lonesome, and think: This is not your typical Amish […]
I guest post once a month over at Not Quite Amish and today I am sharing summertime pictures with readers. Maybe you will want to take a gander at my post…HERE…it’s titled Livin’ in the Summertime.

I can hardly believe we are making our way through July. I hope everyone is enjoying long lazy days filled with lemonade and barbeques. I love summer but I also love Christmas just as much. I started thinking what better way to have some fun than to combine my love for both with a wonderful […]
