Yes its almost the end of the week, and I had the lovely job of going to the supermarket today. There was a Amish family in front of me. The Amish are really common here. Its not unusual to see the horses and buggies. I always slow my Jeep down, so not to scare the horses. They always wave in a way of saying thank you. I find them really interesing people. Some of them are the hard core Amish as others are not that strict. These I don't think were some of the very strict but I don't know that. The ladies were looking at material while the men were looking at jars. I encountered several as you can tell in the store. I must say I do respect them, I don't think I would want to live without some of the things I enjoy today, especially air conditioning and heating, oh and of course automobiles.
They were very nice people , they wouldn't make to much eye contact with anyone. Although when I smiled they did smile back. I must say though that their way of living must keep them in shape because I think a few of the elders looked in better shape than some of the 20 year olds i know. Very Fit.
One time I was antique shop and noticed a few Amish women shopping in their as well. I smiled at them as I was trying to walk by them to go to their other shelf and they looked at me as if they feared me when they walked really fast away. i though whats with them. I just wanted to get by, well my friend that was with me that day informed me of my shirt that I had on. I had been at one of my childrens football games and had on my mascot t-shirt which is a red devil. we laughed all the way out of the store. I didn't realize , wonder what they thought of me having that shirt on. Not knowing this was our school mascot. Never occured to me.
