Typical Amish buggies.

Ve get too soon oldt, und too late schmart.”

This is an expression my Amish friend, Ellen, often says to me.

"I wish I knew then what I know now." is my modern age comeback to her, which is a quote from my mentor, Minnie Pearl.

No matter how many times we have this little exchange it never gets old and we always laugh loudly.

Harrison Ford engages in some forbidden dance moves with Kelly McGillis in an outtake from the film, Witness.

We’re having a fundraiser at the historic Thoroughbred Theatre in Midway on August 22nd at 7 pm with food that celebrates some farmers near and dear to my heart.
At ‘Dinner and a Movie’  we’ll be preparing ‘An Amish Feast’ to celebrate the cuisine and culture of our Amish friends in Kentucky. The movie is Witness, starring Harrison Ford and Kelly McGillis. We’ll be serving and eating family style with lots of fresh produce from Ellen and Sam Mast of Crab Orchard, KY, as well as from Honest Farm. Cost of the dinner is $30 and will benefit Honest Farm’s education projects. Honest Farm is a 501c3 organization with a mission of promoting locally grown foods. For reservations, call 846-9827.
