Paperback version of "Growing Up Amish - The Insider Secrets"
Not only in Ebook format but also in paperback.
Can you believe it.....I became an author within 6 months.
Yes, that is correct. Six months ago I was looking for a ghostwriter to write my book for me. I did not think I could write my own book.
Then I met my mentor team and everything changed.
Do you have something you still want to achieve in life but don't know how to get s… Continue

What forms of discipline do the Amish use?
Today in American culture it can be very challenging to discipline your children in the appropriate manner. It seems to me that each culture
has its own appropriate and inappropriate rules about discipline.

Check out the Mystery of the Missing Checks
Monday, I'm over at my group blog, http://makeminemystery.blogspot.com/, where I'm blogging about the mystery of the missing checks. Come on over and find out what it's all about.Thanks,

Can We Talk?
I'm firming up some dates for speaking engagements in 2010. One's tentatively set for March 28, at 1:30 at the Niles Public Library, another probably in mid May at the Schaumburg Township District Library.Also, coming up is a radio interview at WJJQ again on May 7, at 9:35 a.m. before my booksigning May 8 at Cover to Cover Books in Tomahawk, WI.
I've heard that some people are more afraid of public speaking than of dying. Surprisingly, I find it easier each time I do it. As long as I have my cheat sheet with me to glance down at once in a while for security and I like what I'm talking about, I'm okay.
What about you? Do you like to talk or would you rather not?
Helpless
Over the Holiday weekend I took a good look at my house and that familiar helples feeling washed over me again. It seemed like an insurmountable task to get the place in order. It still does.I spend so much time writing and promoting after I do my day job, what little time I have left is precious. Still, sometimes I just have to buckle down and ignore my compulsion to write and make myself clean house instead. I tackled the spare bedroom, which had clothes and all kinds of other articles strewn over the bed, on the floor, and anywhere you can think of, compliments of myself and the DH, who were equally guilty. I did make some headway, which made me feel good, but if I had more time I know I could do better. Also, there are so many other projects left to do if I were to get the house really into shape. I'm wondering how much I'll get done before Christmas, when I have my family over.
Maybe over the weekend I can get more done, that is, after I do the Illinois sales tax form first, which is due by the end of the month. I've got almost all of my check statements, except one, which I think I can find online, so maybe I can get that done. You may have guessed I'm not the most organized person in the world.
Anyway, let's see how far I can get cleaning up. I've got this kindle on loan from the library, with about 9 days left on it, and lots of good books on it beckoning to me. I've got some great ideas for stories I want to start and others I want to continue. I've got some blog buddies I haven't visited for a while. I wonder what will win out. (g)
What about you? What do you do about housework? Does it get in the way sometimes?
PS The not so surprising results are up on the left for my EZ poll. I'll have to do a harder one some time.

Rascal is sleeping right now. When she gets up, you'll know about it.
When RASCAL wakes up, you'll hear from her and/or her Mom - that would be me, Morgan Mandel.

I have written a non-fiction book about my experiences in Beirut, Lebanon before during and after the Civil War in Lebanon. When we write about things we know, it not only is informative to the reader but also a source of healing.
Growing up in New Jersey put me in contact with the Amish. On the weekend we would go to their market and let me tell you the food was magnificient. My family were regulars so many of the families knew us so we sometimes got special treatment. Like being able to buy the seasonings they f;avor the meat with or getting the biggest of what ever you needed. I decorate my home back then colinal style and they had whatever you needed. We went back recently and yes I had to taste again the flavors I miss. The only thing is I did not know anyone and many of the children I knew are adults like me. What a great childhood I had!! Wishing you the best as you share your life story with us.

That was a fast reply. I often check my email only once a week, so don't feel bad if I'm a bit slower. My name and email are Scott Barnes, me@scotttbarnes.com. My web site is www.scotttbarnes.com (three ts). Is this where you wanted my email, or am I missing something?
Scott
What a fascinating story. I'd be honored to put you as a friend.

I took a ride with my children on the horse and buggy and we stopped at a home during the tour. We were told that these items (pot holders and kitchen towels) were made (sewn) by the family and this was how they made their living by selling these items to the public. I purchased 2 sets with apple print for perhaps $10 and when I arrived back at the hotel was when I noticed there was a tag on the back. I would imagine that even if the material was store bought that the material would have came on a roll without a tag and then would have been sewn to make a potholder and towel. It's just strange. It doesn't make sense. Unless I misunderstood. But I truly remember the driver (who was Amish) say that these items were made by this family. I had given these items to my mother, but remembering correctly the stitch perhaps was used with a sewing machine as well. :)Rosemarie
Thank you so much for the invite. I went up to PA and visited Amish Country last year and I didn't learn anything. I purchased some pot holders, handcrafted by the Amish people and at the end of the day I noticed the tag read 'Made in China'. I do plan on purchasing your e-book some time within the near future. I'm sure you do have a fascinating story to tell. Do you know why the potholders were made in china? I'm still very stumped on that one. Thank you again for the invite. :)Rosemarie
