Yes exactly. It is so easy to just say new that technology has gotten the best of us BUT go spend a couple of weeks interior camping where you just don't have those luxuries.

When I read this post it reminded me of a time I went to spend the day with soem mennonites.
I have always been interested in them for some reason so one day I decided to drive down to visit them and they asked me to church the following Sunday. So I accepted the offer, dressed very conservatively which I usually do but especially so this day.
When I met them we went in a horse drawn carriage to the church. It was actually quite romantic in an old fashioned simplistic type of way.
The service was long but interesting. I got to sing hyms and such. Then back in the carriage to one of the houses for lunch.

The houses were impecibly clean and everything was homemade and extremely fresh. There was no tv's. radios or computers but wash a washer and dryer. Oh thank gawd. Can you imagine?
Anyway it was a very enlightening experience for me because I was with a group of people and wasn't scared of them. I actually found it entertaining in a strange and unusual way.
All was going great until they started asking me questions and I began to answer them truthfully.

Yes I played a musical intrument. Yes I own a car and a motorcycle. The woman smirked and the children giggles but the men gave me the most evil glances. OMG!!! It was hilarious. I almost rolled on the floor laughing my head off because that is all they know. You can't get mad or upset with them for believing what they do. I winked at one of the old farts and he almost croaked but all in all it was a very pleasant day.


Haha> the things I have done

The cat is out of the bag - might as well decide how we're going to use it.
