“Some idle conversation took place between members of the family, all in Swiss.”

I don’t think Swiss is a language.

On Friday nights it's TGIF, unwinding with a buttermilk kegger and a wet bonnet contest.

I was in a heavily Amish community a few years back looking for a hay baler in a farm equipment dealership. The dealer told me that the Amish there wouldn’t dare OWN mechanical equipment but they sure didn’t mind borrowing someone else’s!

“The Amish girls wear their bonnets almost constantly.”
You would think that may cause their hair to become thin and wispy, due to little light or fresh air.
But what do I know. I’m virtually bald!

I have lived the high life (private planes, limousines, yachts, etc.) and the not-so-high life. Two things I have learned:

1. Life's simple pleasures are indeed the best; and

2. 'tis better to live on the corner of a roof than in a large mansion with a contentious woman.

I think the Amish have things mostly figured out.

Wow, This person must have never been around the Amish,
or maybe they are into their persona stash.

If you have this romantic view you may have never had some for neighbors. Some Amish are good, some bad just like the rest of us.
