Another tale from Amish Country.
After we came home from the mud sale, we walked in with our bags of quilts. As I said earlier, I bought 4. Dawn bought 4 and Catherine bought 2. So there were a lot of bags. As we walked into the house, the adult son of the family we were staying with said something to the effect of, "Are you married? What would your husbands say about this quilt business?" To which I responded, "Nope, we're all single, so our money is our own."
The following day in their church (as reported by Catherine who went, while Dawn and I slept in), the son made a comment in Sunday school about how it is good for people to be married so that spouses can temper each other's spending habits. So, apparently, in our church we are pitied because we have failed to achieve the measure of our creation and in their church we are judged harshly for wanting to buy nice things. Which one would be the judgement of members of the true church? hmmmmm....

Husbands temper their spouse's spending? I'd love to hear someone tell Monte that.
