So, tonight I drove to Little Falls do drop off some food with Joe, (yes how nice of me lol) and lucky me I drove through Amish country. Now, I'm slightly obsessed and very interesting in their culture. Why? I have no idea. It all started when I went on a NHS camping trip to Lanesboro and toured an Amish farm there. I'm just so facinated with their, what I would call but they probably wouldn't, simple way of life.
I drove by three buggies, about 5 farms and was one of those annoying people driving by at about 45 mph. I had to slow down to look and see if I could possibly spot someone outside working! And...I DID!! A whole family was outside in the garden planting or weeding or something. The little ones were outside running around and waving at all the cars that drove by..so what did I do? Wave back and honk of course!!! The little ones started jumping up and down and that older lady just smiled.
What does all of this have to do with deployment...well nothing. Just that its on the way to Camp Ripley. Oh and I suppose that they are apart of this country that my husband is fighting for.
Well thats all for tonight. Now I'm craving some of their homemade bread and jam....I should have stopped and bought some. My luck I would have started playing with the kids!! hehe.
Oh, and it was GREAT to see my husband!!!! Love you babe!
P.s. I asked Joe if we could be Amish for a week.. lol
Are you sure the kids weren't laughing and pointing at YOU? :)
