Quietness in Amish Country






This week my friend Ethel and I enjoyed the peace of shopping and dining in northern Indiana. A day away from the hustle and bustle of life. Strolling through colorful quilt shops, a "girlie" cafe and finishing the day with a Southern Gospel concert was good for the soul. The horse and buggies reminded me of days long ago when I brought my dad here and he was reminded of his youth with horses. Sweet memories and a relaxing present. If you want to join me for another stroll back in time, come for a visit.
