Let it snow!
We woke up to a wonderland of snow and it continued all day and even now it is still snowing. Our roads have not been plowed all day and so it was a wonderful day at home. I went to visit our neighbors on the left and dropped off a copy of the Hang Over for the teenagers to watch. Obviously not Amish. Then I went across the street to our Amish neighbors and dropped off some gifts forthe kids and had cookes with them. They invited me to their Christmas special Monday night at the school. I am going to try to get back out here for it. As it was sitting here typing tonight there was a knock at the door and there was Anna. Amish women aren’t often home alone without children or a husband so she must think I am very lonely. I wasn’t but still enjoyed the company. She wanted to know about tomorrow’s weather so we went on line and checked it out. Then we checked out some photo blogs with Amish photos and I showed her Bill Coleman’s website. We had more cookies and hot chocolate and then she got ready to leave she turned on her flashlight to make her way home. Without thinking I told her to flick her lights on and off when she got home. We looked at each other and laughed as she said ” my lights don’t have switches you know”. Funny how it is so easy to forget our differences sometimes. When she got home she turned around and flicked her flashlight and I flicked my porch light. It was a very nice day indeed.
