Arthur, IL

A couple of completely new things we are experiencing here in Illinois, tornado warnings & amish country. I could do with out the first but I am fascinated by the second. A lady in our ward was so niceto take Kellie, Luke, Jane, & me out to give us a tour of Arthur. We went to grocery stores with bread baked just that morning and put on the shelf, all sorts of specialty bulk foods, and farm fresh eggs. The stores all have gas lamps for lighting (and lots of skylights for sunny days) and I love witnessing a small part of their very different life.
