They can be anything and everything. What ever topic you choose, funny, serious, interesting, and yes, even Amish related if you wish. You can ask as many questions as you wish.
Over the next weeks I will take Wednesdays to choose some of your questions to answer, and it can be our own little Hodgepodge of sorts.
I'm getting excited, so fire away. The more the merrier.
As always if you have a question you'd like to ask without the whole world knowing it was you, feel free to send me an email or use the anonymous option to leave a comment here.
And now, because this is kind of a boring little post, I'm adding a picture of the covered bridge we visited recently, to brighten it up a little.
I love your blog! Since I am a fairly new reader, I have a couple of questions for you. Perhaps you have answered this before and if so, sorry for repeating. How long have you been married and how did you meet your husband? Also, how many children do you have? I'm heading out to vacation in Lancaster County, PA tomorrow so I will be seeing a lot of Amish.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your vacation in Lancaster, and thanks for your questions.

DeleteDo you prefer dresses, skirts, jeans, or leggings?
ReplyDeleteThanks for your question.

DeleteThanks for your questions. I'll answer them in the coming weeks.
DeleteI was wondering what happens, in the Amish community, when both parents die? Do they have a will or something in writing that makes their wishes known regarding their children and who they live with or what happens to them? If they had a lot of children, would they be able to stay together, or would they be split up?
ReplyDeleteGreat question. I'll address it in an upcoming post.
DeleteWell I have been reading your blog for a while but I don't remember if you have ever told why you left the Amish Community. I believe that would make a great post
ReplyDeleteI'll be doing a series of posts on why we left the Amish. Right now I'm sharing my story in Chronological order, so it might be a little while yet before I get there.
DeleteI really enjoy your blog, especially because it shows so much about a different way of life. My questions are about your children, who seem to enjoy learning and seem to be bright kids. Are any of them interested in college? If so, would you allow them to go? I have read about the Amish children taking time to explore the world before "settling down". Will your children do that? Thank you!
ReplyDeleteGreat questions. I look forward to answering.
