Does it differ from district to district? That is where I get most confused. I'm sure there is a cultural thread that never changes and then the ones that do district to district. The fiction I read at first is a series by Mary Christner Bontrager. She was raised Amish.

We have a Borntrager gal in our church here; her dad's family is all Amish. I would love to just sit and chat with her sometime!
