I am trying to find a modest way to go out and romp around in the snow... I don't like snowpants and I don't suppose a skirt would keep me very warm. No one I've talked to had any answers... what do your children wear?Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08153555056866609226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1260159263783917143.post-3834698811679955032011-12-15T11:14:44.013-05:002011-12-15T11:14:44.013-05:00This is a history question, but maybe you have som...This is a history question, but maybe you have some idea:<br />The Industrial Revolution sort of started with thread and fabric production. Was this manufactured fabric immediately adopted by the Amish, or did home spinning wheels stick around for a while after, and if so, how long? Would, for example, your grandmother have known how to spin yarn?<br /><br /><br />@Chapini:<br />I wear long Mackenziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03695808411116664337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1260159263783917143.post-42068223752838229982011-12-14T12:24:08.441-05:002011-12-14T12:24:08.441-05:00I have felt the need to wear long skirts for quite...I have felt the need to wear long skirts for quite some time now.

I, too, am interested in doctrinal differences. It appears each Amish community has differences, too, making them independent to a degree. Is there anything similar to a denominational convention for over all doctrine?Phyllis Blickensderferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03206757687699759551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1260159263783917143.post-82986444783690672572011-12-14T08:16:56.452-05:002011-12-14T08:16:56.452-05:00Thanks for this opportunity!

I have quite a few questions that I would like to ask.<br /><br />I have read quite a bit of your blog already and have gathered that you grew up in Somerset County. I pass through that area occasionally but have never met any Amish people. Could you tell me where I could visit some of their stores or bakeries?<br /><br />Not so long ago you had a post about Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04050540341840088781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1260159263783917143.post-89216809144559934862011-12-14T06:05:00.733-05:002011-12-14T06:05:00.733-05:00Do all Amish speak German ?Do all Amish speak German ?Benhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18346716442453670860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1260159263783917143.post-39380112443758335712011-12-14T00:08:52.120-05:002011-12-14T00:08:52.120-05:00Will you be making your book available in other fo...Will you be making your book available in other formats (such as audio) when it's done?<br /><br />I'm also curious about how you celebrate Christmas these days.Torizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04965005679599352165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1260159263783917143.post-43883611823489178632011-12-13T22:58:02.408-05:002011-12-13T22:58:02.408-05:00I enjoy your blog!
