Newsletters and Holmes County

Karen and I've spent the past two days working on the December issue of Coshocton Flyer, our personal newsletter. All the hard copies hit the mail box this afternoon. We're including our new prayer card with the newsletter. We hope you enjoy both the newsletter and the prayer card. Our new card has more of an "Ohio" feel to it.

Once we wrapped up newsletter production and stopped by the post office, we headed north into Holmes County which is the heart of the Ohio Amish population. It'd been several months since we'd been up that way and it's always a relaxing and a beautiful drive. We did some Christmas shopping, some browsing, and picked up a couple products we enjoy that can't be found locally. There were quite a number of Amish buggies on the road today, the corn stalks are all stacked, and at farm after farm, the horses and cows were lined up along the fence lines watching the sun set. It was quite interesting. But then when you're going to be standing outside all night in 15 degrees, even the animals hate to see the sun go down...

Here are some scenes typical of Holmes County:
