Just like a walk back in time. To a place where people have simple lives. There is no Playstation or Television. No telephone or creative lighting.
No electricity at all.

There are no cars and no trucks. Just black carriages and horses. White houses and dark curtains. Children dressed in black and white.
Little girls wear bonnets still and little boys wear hats.

Back to a time when people are polite and speak when spoken to. A time where the whole family works the farm and how hard you work ensures your food for the winter.

Where the house smells so good from the fresh baked breads and home made pies and cookies. Where chickens provide breakfast eggs on a daily basis.
Cows provide the milk for babies and various other animals become food stock for winter.

Fall harvest is a time of celebration and people are thankful for the corn, beans, wheat and various other home grown veggies.

This is a culture that is alive in almost every state. Especially in Michigan and Indiana. Where we find Amish families living in small communities away from the big cities.

It is a perfect walk back in time for families to enjoy together. A place where hand made wood items are their source of income. Dolls have no faces and family must learn to live together with out the phone and electrical comforts of life.

Every culture around us needs a little interest and attention. Especially if the children you have adopted are of an ethnic back ground. It is a lot of fun to do a Mexican, Spanish, African, Chineese, Japanese or Asian family night. Where you can surround everyone with the music, food and dance from a different culture.

It makes learning fun.
