I live in Massachusetts, but have some good friends in farmerstown I stay with at least two weeks a year.
so I guess I'm a part-time Ohioan.
Kind of interesting story. There was a guy in town here who after the war, in the late 40's, wanted some draft horses.
People told him his best bet was to see the amish in ohio - which he did.
He ended up establishing a good relationship with a few amish families while he was out there, and he'd often go back to visit, or they'd come out this way to visit.
Over the years, he'd bring a friend or two with him and further connections developed.
He's since passed on, but the friendships have been passed on to the younger generation. A younger friend of his brought me out and got me into the circle.
I bring my children out sometimes when I go, and I see them getting very friendly with the kids out there.
It's nice to think this strong connection of friendship will continue down across even more generations.
If nothing else, it's a great experience for my kids - I can prove to them that there is life without electricity, Xboxes, and iphones.
