Still learning

Well I am still learning about cooking around the house here and all I can do is shake my head on alot of things here.  I have came to realize that sometimes you have to ask for help around the area with some folks and others you have to beg for help.  I have ran into Amish folks from Mo., Illinois, PA, and NY areas.  The sects out of MO, Illinois, and NY are the best to say the least that I have ran into in my life here for asking for help in some things in how they cook.  I still remember Miss Sarah, and her daughter Sarah from one of the Mo sects.  I have thought about them over the years and have asked also about them all.  I loved both of them since I have met them as an early teen in my life and respected them to the fullest while I was with my one sister visiting.  I thought it was the coolest thing that the Amish Moms always passed the recipes down to the daughters and taught them everything that they needed to know for life after graduating the 8th grade.  I understand about learning or trying to learn everything about running a farm and a household.  This is why I can ask when I want and need the help around here for my own place.  I was down around Collins months ago and had my Husband with me also when we were looking for another car, van, or truck for the household at that time.  My husband does speak some German and everywhere has a dialect of it around no matter where you go.  There are key words that you know and never forget at all.  It is like speaking Italian and Spanish some words are the same others are not.  I looked at my Husband and asked did ya catch something and he said yes it was about a brother/in law and that is what he caught.  I knew the one woman was mad about her Husband totally and that all.  I get mad at my Husband also at times that is part of being married.  The sect here in NY State will teach you everything that you want to know without a problem at all for things that you need to know or should know for the household.  The women are firm and not over powering like some that I know.  When you mind your manners you get further here in NY State with some folks.  In PA you have to talk with the men folk first and then you get some place with manners.  I have thanked several Fathers in the Amish community in PA with their children being good as good in the stores while I was there trying to help my sister in law.  So now I am glad I can ask for the help from alot of folks in the area that are around me totally.  That is including my grandmother also in what she does or has done around the household.
