How'd you manage to do that?

When I was growing up my grandparents lived right in the middle of the community. My grandpa and grandma both drove for them. They always invited us to big dinners and we invited them to family dinners also.

AS a matter of fact my dad met up with that same amish family--they moved to Michigan years ago--and they had a special dinner because he was in town.

The Amish are some of the most friendly and down to earth people I have ever met....

Same here, the Amish hold a big dinner once a month for the community, it cost $ 3.00, all you can eat, great food and fellowship. The money goes to help other's in need in the community.

We also made great friend with an elderly couple, who've had us over many times for supper or drop off bake goodies. The kids really enjoyed telling Elmer who's in his 80's about Pinocchio , he never heard of the story before.

We bought an Amish built home from a couple who became Mennonites. We have lived here for five years now, we get along great, they ride pass our place in buggies, sometimes we drive them into town. I could never ask for better neighbors.
