Ok this is the back of my car and a buggy...for u rosi & anyone else interested in it...I begin my tale (pun intended)
Where im from its an everyday sight to see Amish or Mennonite people....and yes there is a difference.....for now I'm talking about Amish.....the females typically wear black dresses kind of like a jumper with a brighter straight sleeve "blouse" usually purple or another color, nothing bright or neon or patterned, thier hair is long but they keep it in a bun on thier head topped off by a bonnet...nobody but thier husband sees it...many times u can see her clothing is not sewn entirely but rathered pinned together with straight pins....then she has knee high dark stockings with penny loafers or dark sneakers....the men's attire on the other hand are not pinned but sewn black trousers with suspenders and a colored shirt as well (just like the ladies colors) and then they have the signature black round hat...im sure u all have seen the Wierd Al Yankovich video "living in an Amish paradise" (well Al did his homework! he looks just like an Amish man...you can tell a married man from a single fellow...if they have a beard, they are married...and the beards get oddly pointy from fellows continually stroking them whilst talking or thinking (my father is of Mennonite background and he does the very same thing!) Mennonites are an offshoot of Amish...but that is an entirely other novel to b written another nite lol...hope u enjoy this!
