Mary, I enjoy your videos so much. I am 82 years old and I will never see Holmes County but the scenery is so beautiful it would be wonderful if you could show more as you travel about. Thank you so much for the videos and just being the great person that you are. God bless!

Your sister's art is beautiful. I love to see you with your sister. My sisters are one of best gifts from God.

I enjoy the view from your dash, it was so much fun withe rise and fall of the road! TFS

Fun to see beautiful older pieces. I love your sister’s art! You are both talented ladies!

The part that stood out the most to me, was seeing the horses and buggies. So peaceful.

Except that sometimes those poor horses are extremely abused and worked half to death in both heat and cold. I live in PA. Amish country and am shocked and appalled at the animal neglect and borderline abuse of carriage horses. I have seen emaciated horses on the road that are so over-worked and underfed that they can't make it up a hill. Not to mention the careless auto drivers who hit these carriages on the road and maim and kill these horses once in awhile. The life of many carriage horses is a sad life of enslavement, exhaustion, and soul crushing drudgery. Many never get proper Vet care and are dumped on the horse meat auctions that truck them to Mexico for slaughter. Many of these "quaint" people have ZERO compassion for their animals. The are simply a means to an end -- or a means to garner extreme profits from breeding. PA. & Ohio Amish country also house some of the worst nightmare puppy mills in the country. The breeder dogs spend their entire lives in wire cages -- or dark barn stalls -- and never see a blade of grass or ray of sunshine. The girls are bred repeatedly until their health collapses then they're dumped at the dog rescue groups. These dogs are backward, maladjusted, fearful of humans and extremely difficult to place in homes.

@@Mary-Mercedes There is a huge difference between city life and country farm life, something that farm people have always understood. Sure there are situation that are bad, but the Amish people as a whole are not responsible for the ignorance of a few. And I'm sure that there are many different people living in Amish country, even those type that would run a puppy mill, but I doubt it would be run by the Amish. It is terrible that there are people in the whole that would treat dogs in such an inhuman way. We see it happening in China too.

​@@canadiangirl5159 I have great admiration of the Amish and their values. I did not disparage any Amish in general. I know many Amish families personally. I said MANY not all. My point for my original post is that there can be a very dark side behind those “peaceful” horse-drawn carriages. I have experienced it - as have hundreds of rescue organization volunteers who pick up the abused and neglected dogs or horses AT the Amish farms when they want to dump them by 10 or 15 at at time. When you see an exhausted. skinny horse - with ribs sticking out and head hanging low- tied to a parked AMISH buggy in a parking lot in the sun in hot summertime (as I have) those buggies do not look so “peaceful.” Yes, there are backyard hillbilly puppy mills out in the “back 30” in every state abusing animals for profit, but MUCH (not ALL) of the abuse is disproportionately done in my surrounding states by Amish farmers. They are infamous with all the animal rescue organizations who have to deal with the carnage every day.

Mary, you live in a beautiful place, I could watch your road journey all day. Happy new year to you and your family.

This was a lot of fun. The shops, the scenery, the wonderful goodies, and those prices were great. I really enjoy your channel and I wish I had the space to renew more furniture. Keep up the good work and TFS.

That animal artwork is stunning Mary. I loved coming along on your thrift trip, please do more of these to show us all your beautiful part of the world.
