My friend recently went to Amish country and brought me back a souvenir. Oh... I could go on and on about my love for Amish country. But I don't have time. So I'll leave you with a few of my favorite quotes from the book she gave me of Amish proverbs and sayings.


A plump wife and a big barn-never did any man harm.

Nothings more beautiful than a woman working.

No woman be happy with less than seven to cook for.

"Our Susie wants marryin'--don't you think? already she's gettin' on in years-she ain't so long 18."

"If I leave you hold the baby be careful you don't make her awake."

"Aunt Min is wonderful heavy-she sits broad."
