[QUOTE="plumber_greg, post: 843938, member: 9115"] Thanks, Jeanne. Sounds like you have good neighbors. You have it right about the Mennonites being business. The Amish around here just take advantage of the tourist trade and do as little as possible. I like to tell the story about the guy that built the new house, Bill, and was showing me and Sara the Amish furniture he paid way too much for. I told him we plumbed the owners of the company new house. He didn't think Amish had running water, and I explained that the Amish making his furniture were show, and most was made in Boston in a factory and they sell all over the US. Of course he was shocked that the store wasn't Amish owned and operated. Told him that was like the farmer that hires 20 Amish kids to pick his apples, there is one, pays them a couple bucks an hour, and sells the apples as Amish Hand Picked Fruit. gs [/QUOTE]
