Thankful Day #4: Simplicity

A couple weeks ago we went out to Kalona, a little town with a huge Amish influence, and a place we especially appreciate because of its great bakery.  It's amazing to see people using a horse and buggy to travel instead of a car, and lighting their shops by a combination of outside light and gas lanterns.  Every time we go I appreciate more and more all these little things we do every day, like driving to the store or flipping on a light switch!
Horses and buggies all lined up:

Our favorite bakery--it has the best glazed donuts in the world!

   Laundry hanging outside on the line in 45 degree weather...ok, I guess I have less to complain about when it comes to doing our huge pile of laundry!
