Katz un Hund un Gehss

This is a long, sisterly, Deitsch conversation involving animals and quite a few mentions of our brother Fred.

  2. I love this. I don't speak Deitsch, (that died out with my great-grandparents), and I did take a "PA Dutch" class but you can only learn so much as an adult in a few weeks...so I didn't watch the whole video. But I am very impressed that you ladies still do, as far as you have moved from your Amish roots, and I love the interaction between you as sisters. I have 6 younger bros and no sisters. I do however have 4 daughters in a row and am so glad they have each other!! Also, as you were naming some of your animals, it reminded me that my grandma said one of their cows was named "Ida Grace Blaze-away, because if you walked past her she would just 'blaze away at you!" (meaning to kick.) She said the cow didn't kick while being milked. And Grandma's father thought that the cow must have been mistreated at some point in her life. I think it would be interesting for you to interview your bro Fred. He figures in quite a few of your stories and must be quite the character, and it would be interesting to see what he has to say for himself. In English, so I don't miss 80% of it! :-) Sarah

  3. I don’t understand PaDutch but got the story of Fern the slow horse. Well I remember you getting out of the buggy and pushing it up a hill near our house in Somerset, Ohio after your family visited us! ��
