Nice photo Genevieve! Do you ever get much chance to talk to the Mennonite and Amish folks?
Also was wondering about the Amish--think you mentioned there were New Order Amish, and wasn't sure if you said there were Old Order as well--also do you know if there are any from the Swartzentruber or related groups?
I talk to my Mennonite neighbors frequently. One family lives about 1/4 mile down the road from us, and the other's barns are just a few hundred yards across our back fence.
I don't know enough about the Amish to tell you what particular groups they are from, except that they seem to fall into the more modern tractor-driving New Order, and the extremely, severely plain-dressed Old Order.
