I Did It

I did it.

I made Amish friendship bread.

 I added raisins, dried cranberries, blueberries, and walnuts.

And, before you ask, yes, I went a little overboard on the cinamon/sugar sprinkling over the top. 

There was actually another pan of it, but it's gone alredy. I My kids ate every crumb.

I now have a new respect for the Amish women that apparently have more muscle and dedication than I do. I had to get Rick to help stir it, because I had a double batch due to my daughter on purpose accidently leaving it at my house. So I had 7 people to get rid of give away starts to, which put a damper on the whole baking fun, since I really have only 4 real life friends and the rest of you live in my computer.

The Amish, I am sure, do it much better than I do.
But luckily I didn't have to gather the eggs or milk the cow.
I didn't have to hook the horse to the buggy and go into town for the sugar and flour, or put my hair in a bun. No chopping of wood or picking the blueberries in my long calico prairie skirt.
I could never make it the Community.

 Plus, I would stick out like a sore thumb with my blond wig.
