by ohiosamishcountry.com
Every Friday morning at 8 a.m., the staff at Homestead Furniture takes a much-anticipated break. It’s not that owner Ernest Hershberger works his employees so hard. They do that on their own.
No. Every Friday employees take turns bringing in “break” for the entire staff. "Break" is synonymous with “breakfast.” At least, that’s what the spread looks like.

Wow....I can't believe we are already into August. It's seems the older I get, the faster time flies. It has been a great summer here in Amish Country at Wendell August Forge. If you drive by, you'll see our Water Tower is under construction. They are doing a great job of sand blasting and getting it ready for a brand new paint job! I can't wait to see it when it's done. Although it's been a dry summer, I actually feel like it's been a real summer. One like I remember as a child growing up in this area. They were always hot and long, and we lived at Lake Buckhorn or in my parents pool to keep cool. (I didn't have air conditioning growing u ...
