On my trip to see my dad I saw a statue or at least that is what I thought it was.
I had been driving since early morning and it was just about dusk. Thankfully my GPS was giving me all the instructions I needed to arrive at my appointed place. What it did not tell me is that I was in Amish country. I don’t know much about them, other than they live very differently from me.
As I approached an intersection I was observing the little town and its buildings when I noticed a nice looking brown horse attached to a black buggy. In an instant my brain churned out a response of “oh what a nice statue”, “what an odd place for it . . .”
I must admit something slipped out that I won’t type when the horse moved! I can’t tell you how surprised I was when it moved; just imagine it, a moving statue.
I was wide awake and alert for the next 3 miles to my dad’s house.
