Column: Appreciating a simpler way of life
Comfortable in the recliner, I turned on the radio and picked up a magazine. Leafing through, I started reading an article about the Amish who settled in Ohio in the early 1800s. I thought of the time we stopped at the Amana Colony in Iowa several years ago.By Pody Corcoran , April 17, 2011
