When embroidered flowered jeans were so popular and costly in the early 70's, my aunt would draw the flowers for us on plain jeans and we would embroider the flowers. Same look 1/4 of the price.

Over the last twenty years I have driven the back roads of the area and have cultivated many Amish friends. Even tho I have not heard the term "Trusted English friend" I hope that this is what they call me. I have been blessed to be included in family meals..."sit down and eat" I have been told many times. On many occasions I have spent the night...what am honor. Thanks for your story, because it is my story also.<br />Tom backroadstraveller.blogspot.com/Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04082494067802628837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5024717531907322725.post-60716469635846533622013-01-21T04:11:01.771-08:002013-01-21T04:11:01.771-08:00Loved reading this story.

As an avid couponer, I have an appreciation for saving money on everything. <br /><br />Our community has a large Mennonite population. Occasionally, I see Old Order Mennonites shopping at a local thrift store.<br /><br />We should compare notes someday about saving and coupons. :)<br /><br />Blessings,<br />SusanSusan J.
