More About the Amish and the Geek That is Me

Considering the 80-some-odd coming down to the hurricane relief base house this week, my job was to make sure Sabrina, Rick’s daughter and the chief cook and bottlewasher, had a relaxing weekend. So we went out and got pedicures, and boy! Do my feet look even more beautiful than usual!

We got to know each other a lot better, and she couldn’t believe I used to be a first-grade geek as a teenager, so I convinced her with this picture of me at fourteen:


Meanwhile, a couple from Kansas bought Rick a plane ticket home, where he went to de-stress. And believe me, Rick was definitely stressin’ there for awhile.

See, apparently, the group of Amish people coming down are from the same part of the country as the last bunch – the ones who are no longer Amish. Also quite apparently, some folks aren’t too happy about what’s been going on down here among their young people, to put it delicately. This group has been warned twice that Rick is “anti-Christ.” They’re pretty concerned, and seem to be pre-judging, but they’re coming anyway because they can’t cancel their bus reservation.

Unfortunately, I won’t be there to witness what happens. I had to make a quick trip back home to take care of some family issues that cropped up, so my two-week vacation has been cut in half, much to my disappointment. However, I’ll try to get you guys an update before my month is over.
