Also, when traveling by car around the upper midwest, you will often encounter groups of them traveling to town — young couples, etc. being driven in a van by an “English” chauffer. Especially in Ohio and Indiana. I’ve never visited Eau Claire, but I guess I should make a trip out there. We have a number of furniture stores around here that deal in Amish furniture.

My mother was into quilting. Thinking back, (just now) I guess it was her Mother-in-law (that same Grandmother of mine) who taight her “quilting”! I reckon she learned a lot from her Amish neighbors growing up in that small Ohio town. I remember that my Grandmother would sometime refer to people as “those English.” ...LOL ... and I would always laugh. My Grandfather was a barber, and they lived on Coronado, CA and when the Prince f Wales visited, he was summoned to cut his hair, I have his shaving cup and brush. I supposed it still contains his DNA. It’s very fancy and on the bottom it bears the gold seal of the Royal Palace or whatever it’s called along with the maker of the china.

Sorry for the typos that resulted in misspellings... I am wrestling with my French Bulldog puppy, Louie. He is 14 weeks old and hungry. Better get his dinner now.
