More than a Home Run

Spent day in Shipshewana, which is a small Amish community that has a variety of quaint shops. We saw jigsaw puzzles, dulcimers, and quilts, many of which had been produced locally. We also enjoyed a great lunch with friends at the Blue Gate, and Bettie had her favorite meal of fried chicken. The Amish really are good cooks.

The highlight of the day was the musical, The Home Game. The singing, music, and story was excellent. It had many humorous lines that left the whole audience laughing. The story was about a Amish man who was recruited by a professional baseall team. He goes through many trials and finally realizes the importance of his family. It ends by him returning home to his father and brother. What a powerful message about family relationships.
