The Amish Cook from Oasis Newsfeatures

since elizabeth is entering the age where her 'running around years' are about to begin, does she have someone special with whom she would attend singings with of a church evening?

i was wondering if any of the amish children are home schooled when they leave formal education as they know it. from reading verena's column that she wrote for her mother, it would be a real shame if the young woman couldn't further her writing skills into a 'career' so to speak. i feel this is an important issue that could be taken up in amish families, if allowed to do so.

i am new to this area since i came from virginia and our newspaper was the richmond-times dispatch. i came from colonial heights,virginia in the early summer, starting to take the cincinnati enquirer about two weeks ago. i saw the amish cook last wedsnday and i really enjoyed it. thank you for letting me on your site.
