A Simpler Time

So living in Indian our eyes were opened to the Amish and Mennonites. I would occasionally see them at the grocery store and some clothing stores. We lived about 30 minutes from a large Amish/Mennonite community. Well now that we are in Ohio we see them ALL the time. It is pretty cool to see them going down your street with their horse and buggy, although Mennonites drive big 12 passenger vans, (my facts may not be completely correct--this is just what we have come to conclude after talking with some of them) Where we live there are so many and so we are used to it now.  In early October most of the town is having a yard sale and of course I was taking part. I laughed to myself because I never thought I would be yard selling with the Amish and be parked behind their horse and buggy. Nate and I admire them because of how much more simple their lives are to a degree. The rest of us complicate so many parts of our lives.
