Our Friday morning Jeep ride also took us up through Mennonite-Amish country.

Bear with me folks I’m dealing with a bit of depression at the moment and as soon as I can get myself on the other side of it I hope to be back putting words together again.

GROANER’S CORNER:(( Howard County Police officers still write their reports by hand, and the data is entered later by a computer tech into their database. One theft report stated that a farmer had lost 2,025 pigs. Thinking that to be an error, the tech called the farmer directly. "Is it true Mr. (Smith) that you lost 2,025 pigs?" she asked.
"Yeth." lisped the farmer. Being a Howard County girl herself, the tech entered: "Subject lost 2 sows and 25 pigs."

  4. Hope you get through this spell soon, wifey has a cousin who deals with it about every other year. Hard for many to understand.
    Question, how do Mennonites power a sawmill? Do they use electric power sometimes? Never been around them, so it might be a silly question.

    1. Good question Tom and one I had not thought of. There are a number of sawmills up through that area and next time I'm over that way I will try and see if I can spot me some power lines leading in.

  8. Look at all that mud on that tractor!! Glad I don't have to clean that mess. Love the Mennonite farms. Nice to see the countryside greening up quickly.
