Its all very strange. My dad was heavily into buggies, harnesses, and all things draft-horsey. He did business with several Amish makers of wagon wheels, spokes, steel wagon-tires, etc., and when he was in Pennsylvania, he visited them and formed some friendships (which was not surprising- Dad could have been fast friends with Leona Helmsley, if you gave him 10 minutes). One of his Amish friends contacted him, and said his wife and a friend were going to be travelling to Dad's area (Washington state, a long ways from Lancaster PA), and could they come and visit?
