Justina Dee, the talent behind lydiaglick.com[/caption]
Country Life met Justina Dee, the grandaughter of an Amish preacher in October, and immediately knew she was "our kind of people." We'd like to introduce her with her light-hearted entry about "The Mennonite Game", when...well. She'll tell you. We just want you to know: click to her site and see the video. Be sure the family's gathered around, because they'll love it too. --Karen Johnson, editor, Country Life
One of my favorite things about being born into a family with Amish-Mennonite roots is the deep appreciation of family history and belonging which you are given. As a young child with Anabaptist ancestors, you quickly learn there are two things of great importance.
Lesson one – your family genealogy. My father is a brilliant steward of our family’s history and stories. One year he purchased the most recent edition of something we call “The Fisher Book”. (A record with thousands of Amish-Mennonite relatives.) My little brother was so excited to find his name in the new printing of the “Fisher Book” that he circled the text in dark black ink – not something you typically do in a very expensive and significant ancestral document. I’m sure someday his descendants will enjoy seeing the mark he made on history!
