The most wholesome Americana video I’ve ever seen. I think I gained 100 pounds just watching all the delicious food. The landscape is beyond beautiful and so peaceful looking. Thank you for always bringing class and modesty to RUclips.
Exactly what I was going to say. If I ever get the opportunity to go to America I would love to visit this beautiful place. Thank you for showing us. It made my day and I could imagine being there instead of being in lockdown for the 6th time. 🥰🥰
Look at all that beautiful green grass and crops! I love how your families do weddings. Simple, people pitch in to help, modest clothing, etc. This was so refreshing to watch from CA where we have 100 degree heat and smoke. (I think your kids need a dog) Thanks for sharing this trip. Bless you all.
Interesting. I live in California and it rarely gets above 80 here. No smoke here either. Ohio gets hot in the summer. I avoid other parts of the country in the summer for that reason.
Lynette I love it when you show your trips up to see family the weddings are beautifully decorated. The people delightful. Hard working really lovely people. The farms and homes kept so beautifully. A wonderful place to have grown up however long you spent there. A really idyllic place to raise children. The shops you visit with the quilts and home decor. Oh no. I would spend far too much money there. The food?! What a treat. There's something missing from society today with all of the outside influences. Going back to a more simple life has to be a benefit. You are always so welcomed wherever you go. I know it's family but such a wonderful way to introduce children to extended family and the connections there. I find it very special. I think the boys are going to be asking for a puppy. The boys are growing up so fast. Your eldest looks so much like Nick. Oaklynn, such a little lady. Really has a kinship with animals. How was the trip home?
I'm a UK based Quilter and have always been impressed with Amish Quilts - especially the plain, darker coloured ones but I know that any and ALL quilts made by Amish or Mennonite ladies are superbly made and of the highest quality. So good to see that little quilt store in this video .... another gem among the many beautiful things to see in that area. I must add a visit there to my bucket list and hopefully bring back a quilt or two along with wonderful memories of a place and people. Hope you have/had a safe journey home.
I live in New Zealand and will most likely never get to visit these places I read about in Amish fiction. Thanks to videos like this however, I can say I’ve at least seen a glimpse of it. Thank you and God bless.
Never say never … especially these days, international air travel is reasonably priced. If you book well in advance and in the right (off) season … you can get a return flight for under 7-800 USD. Add in the travel once in the US, accommodation and food … you can do it on a budget, set a goal for the trip, write down the steps to get there, mark the milestones as you hit them and you could end up on a once in a lifetime trip all over Amish country and beyond! Best of luck to you, and God bless us all …
Your American culture is so diverse and wonderful amd Amish coming out is a blessing to the rest of us. I hope to go one day. I can't help thinking of contrast with the madness of riots last summer and also glad no masks needed. God bless America.
Oh Lyn, that dark, rich soil of Ohio…I miss the north. Been to Holmes Co. many times. This was a delightful walk down memory lane. Those quilts are beautiful! Be blessed.
I miss passing through to visit our son who lives in Bay Village, Ohio, on Lake Erie. We love Ohio. We live in Ormond Beach, Fl, but pass through the middle of Ohio on Interstate 77. Beautiful!
My family and I thourghly enjoyed this vlog! We moved from Holmes County to Texas about 8 months ago and loved seeing our stomping grounds in the vlog. 🥰
Oh my word Lynette!!! How the Lord has blessed you with such a large beautiful family! The countryside is amazing! Thank you for sharing your blessings.
It doesn't matter what I think of in this video. Whether it's the people, your family or the places you visited...everything can be summed up by 2 words!! ......SO BEAUTIFUL!! Thank you for sharing. God bless
The kids are so fortunate and blessed to be able to experience these things! I’ll always treasure the buggy rides with my grandpa but sadly my children never got to experience that.
That was so enjoyable, Lynette - thank you so much for taking us along - your family and community are delightful and I loved how the horse was just as happy as Larry to take everyone out for an evening jaunt. I have to say I'm amazed at how vibrant & thriving the Amish/Mennonite community is in that area of Ohio,everything looked so prosperous and everyone so content and cheerful. A real joy under the present circumstances. Should you ever be up the top end of the Mississippi, between Wisconsin & Minnesota there's a dear little town called Stockholm, WI with a store called Northern Oak Amish Furniture, that your Uncle would probably be interested in! It's been a while since we were there, but there was some lovely quality work and my Ma bought a beautiful handmade Amish quilt to take back to England which she still has on her bed - Happy days. Still miss the Heartland. Keep safe and sharing the Good Word. 🙏🐾🦘😊👍
Hi Lynette that’s one place I would love to go to Ohio Holmes County the scenery is beautiful everything is so well-kept the Grass the plants it’s such a clean place to live I’m at home right now I broke my foot but our anniversary is coming up November 8 and that’s where I wanna go so I’m gonna look at the description box and see all these places that I can plan to go the food looks delicious especially that steak with the grilled onions like always your videos are awesome can’t wait for the one next week your friend Kathy👍👍❤️👍👍👍👍❤️❤️
I enjoyed watching this so much. I was so surprised to see you were in Aberdeen. 😲 You guys were so close to my neck of the woods. Once you cross over from Aberdeen into Kentucky, I'm only 30 minutes from there! My heart is full of joy to see families making it a priority to spend quality time together and sharing a piece of their childhood with their own children. May the Lord continue to bless you and your family.
Greetings from Spain, Lynette! What an absolutely gorgeous place Holmes County looks. Thank you for sharing a glimpse into your family and a special wedding. Blessing to you all, especially the new bride and groom. Hope you got home safely! Louise
I love going to "Amish country". I live in MI but grew up in Ohio....I recently took my mom to Holmes county for her birthday. We stayed at the Berlin Grande hotel and it was very nice! After all the rave reviews, we met my cousin at East Main kitchen for dinner, but they were short staffed, service was already slow before a large mennonnite family came in who all seemed to know the staff. They visited with our server a lot, so he kinda forgot about us. Unfortunate, since it was quite a drive and there are SO many other places to eat there. Otherwise, Holmes county Ohio is a gem I will forever love.
Love these vlogs so much! My husband and I love visiting Holmes county. So many great things to see. We live about 2.5-3 hours away so we try to go a few times a year for a long weekend
Wow, I've never seen so many handmade quilts! And they're all so well made. I've never seen one in person. My great grandparents had a cattle farm in the country and we'd visit them every year until they passed away growing up. This video brought back so many fond memories. I wish I'd cherished my time with them more. Thank you so much for sharing your family trip.
what a lovely family visit! When you asked your dad about memories it got me thinking about the courage your parents must've had for breaking away from such a strong tradition. I know you have given your testimony but I would sure love to hear their faith journey. Its such a personal experience though so totally understandable if they wouldn't want to publicly share their story.....and its not like you dont have content coming out your ears these days 😜😎 Thanks for another peacefilled socialmedia sesh.
When we lived in west Pa we would spend a lot of time in Holmes County & the area in general.I'm a quilter so trips to Charm for the quilt store were a delight to me, and my husband would always go to the big lumber store near Charm. Now we live in Sarasota County, Fl and only get back about once a year or so. Sadly, we don't always get over to Ohio. A stop at the walnut Creek cheese store is also a definite when we go there.
I enjoyed this video very much! “Ohio, the heart of it all” was a slogan for many years. Holmes County is beautiful and I hope to go there someday. Thanks for showing so many beautiful shops and restaurants. The horse and buggy ride looked like fun and your children will have fond memories of that for a long time. Glad the weather was really nice for your visit. I especially loved seeing the beautiful Ohio River at Ripley. My family and I went through that town many times over the years on our way to see our families in KY. Looking forward to your next video!
I love going to Holmes County when we go home to visit our family in Ohio I have always loved Amish way of life never lived it but I am absolutely love their way of life thank you so much for sharing and Walnut Creek products are awesome everybody needs to try them
Thank you again Lynette for taking us along to Ohio again! Brought back memories of my family visiting the Shakers in New Hamphire! My mom had a friend’s sister that grew up there! I plan to go next year when I go home to visit! My daughter-in-law’s mother sold Shaker furniture and herbs in Rhode Island! She was so surprised when I told her of my memories of them! So we will visit Canterbury Shaker Village in New Hampshire and Hancock Shaker Village in Hancock Massachusetts!
The country looks so beautiful!!! I live in the desert and I'm swooning over all that green! Seeing so many generations of your family come together is so amazing! And showing your kids their roots. Loved this ❤ God bless
Glimpses of the bride and groom, the picture taking, all the children. Meaningful and enjoyable. Loved the cakes, the next morning for the religious gathering at the grandparents. The walk by the creek. Reminds me of growing up in Iowa in the Methodist religion, and lots of farm life spent at our grandparents and with the cousins on their farms.
I love the simplicity of Amish life,but I don't think I could live without electricity.Although I don't have a cell phone,my land line keeps me in touch with friends and family.Having to go without things for a while.....like when there's a power-outage.....makes you appreciate them even more when they are there.Always thankful.
Thank You❗ Lynette, I loved every minute of your video ' vlog ' My Grandmother was Amish she left with her sister and brothers years and years ago. So my mom was Mennonite They left the Amish to work for Henry Ford, and Detroit Edison, from what my Mother told me. My Grandmother was Fannie Crow, her Parents left Pennsylvania and Ohio and moved to West Branch, Michigan. I have had Relatives from within family. They contacted me. Very exciting for me They had a baby picture of me. So I was excited. FB helped alot of it. I am a follower of yours. So I absolutely enjoyed this video.
What a beautiful area. So much to see and do. The kids loved all the activities. I wish I could live there. So quiet and serene. You were one lucky girl to get to live there. Love your big family and all the love you share. I feel like I've been on vacation just watching this video.
The boy's faces in the back of the buggy..adorable. I think I would buy a doll for myself. Lol so sweet. I love it when you guys go to Ohio. Peaceful. Stay safe.
I don't get to Holmes County often but it's my favorite area to wander. We LOVE golden retrievers! Those puppies are SO adorable. We've had 5 & would like another in the future. I'll have to remember to check with you when we're ready. (We're dealing with serious illness right now so that takes up all the energy!) Loved seeing all the family enjoying life on the farm!
I just smiled the entire time during this video! What a joy to see your family and all the beautiful farms and the wedding! Oaklynn is absolutely precious! Blessings on your family! ❣️❣️❣️✝️
Went on a field trip here in 5th grade for a week (I'm from Columbus) and I must say that experience is stuck in my head I'm now 30 yrs old that's how fun it was they showed us a great time
Thanks for the visit! Congrats to your cousin on her wedding. Omgosh the cakes for dessert looked luscious and the wedding cake itself was stunning!! I loved it when the puppies swamped Oaklynn. The buggy ride looked so fun too. That steak though! Yummo!
Lynette, you have no idea how much your video was appreciated by my husband and myself. The Holmes County area holds such a special place in our hearts. Since 1984 , We have been traveling there from our home in Erie, Pa. as often as we can, usually at least 4 times a year. Over all that time we have furnished our home with the beautiful furniture, curtains and linens etc. We always come home with so many favorite food items from all the different stores, especially Walnut Creek Foods. We have even purchased two puppies from the area for our grandchildren. We have not been able to go there the last two years, first year from quarantining because of Covid restrictions. We were so looking forward to this year and traveling back to there. But we have experienced several health problems since winter and it looks like we will not make it back again this year. Your video showed so many places and roads that we know so well, I got a little melancholy watching it but I loved every minute of it. That area is the most beautiful and peaceful place and we miss it so much. We can’t wait to get back there as soon as we are able to, thank you again 💞
So just over a year ago, I saw for the 1st time, the East Main Kitchen, in Baltic, in 1 of your videos. My husband and I couldn’t wait to go check this place out. By far the best ribeye we have ever had! I have since taken family there, and luncheons with the ladies. We have never been disappointed! The shrimp and grits are amazing! ( and I don’t even like grits!). Thank you for making us aware of this place!
Those quilts!!!💞💞💞💞, no way I would've left there without buying one. That lucius grass. Beautiful country. Always wonderful to go back home to see family.
I'm from that area but moved to Texas many years ago... Have 5 brothers back there and the rest of my family.. Love the Amish fudge 😋 I remember when my momma took me to Columbus for my Drs appointments .. We'd always stop in Chillicothe and Circleville for cheese and Fudge!!! Good to see my roots n nature💕
We camp in Berlin a few times a year. It’s getting harder to get a site as the popularity of doing so grows and I wish I knew of campgrounds maybe off the more popular areas…. I’ve been thinking recently of getting my craving for this beautiful area fulfilled and watching this vlog was awesome to see the areas you took us to….just seeing how it is to be close to such beautifully cared for homes etc was joyful….as a tourist you only see from the road…. The hitching of the horse for the buggy ride and being inside as it went about, the riding in the car down the roads that we so often just drive around and the s restaurants you visited was so nice……please do more videos as such. I don’t know how you could move from such a beautiful farm area and the family being near you…. I give your people credit for the patience they have to endure the disrespecting drivers that carelessly pass you on the roads…..and it amazes me the children alone on the roads especially now a days….what trust you have in the Lords protection of them… I come home each time disliking my farms lack of pristine care…wish I could have such beauty in my flower, gardens and fields…… The weddings were so beautiful and the flower arrangements ……the display of food and lol the dessert table at your sisters wedding was unbelievable….. Having a community you had here in Ohio must have been hard to leave…….Berlin and surrounding Amish towns definitely are like no other ones we have visited……oh how I wish I could live in that area…….thank you for the video and please do more of those when you come again….
I lived in Georgetown, from 94-09. I worked at the Kroger in Mt. Orab. I didn't get a lot of chances to go over to Adams where there was a big store, but I loved it when the Mennonite and Amish came to Kroger. Beautiful, excellent video. "Oaklyn gets to go again?!" 😂😂😂😂💕👌, Thanks for your time, and sharing with us.
My Dad had a I believe a 1976 I want to say but rusty with my memory of the year of a red Pontiac convertible he LOVED it. Lots of good fun times we would be driving with the top down to the poconos and it would start to rain and he would say ur on a highway you won’t feel a drop lol we were drenched lol but that’s what made it fun. New subscriber. Loved seeing ur car brought back great memories 💖
We use to live in Macon, Ohio and our children attended Russelville schools, this was in the late 1980's so a long time ago, but we enjoyed our time there, beautiful area.
Lovely video of Holmes County! The kids are getting so big and Miss Oakland has the most beautiful eyes. I can't enough of those green fields, farm animals, and all the wholesomeness. The wedding was simple yet elegant. You have such a wonderful family!! Thank you for sharing this part of your life with us. Be blessed today, Lynette!!
Love seeing the beautiful country, your family is precious. I enjoy watching your videos so much - especially this type. God bless you and your family!!
I love to see your videos of when you go back to Ohio. It's just so quaint and peaceful. When you live your life in the city it's nice to see serenity. Thank you for sharing your trip and your family
I enjoyed this video so much. Great camera work. I felt like I was there ! Such a nice experience for the kids and for them to be able to walk around in that beautiful green grass. And the puppies !!!!
We visited Holmes County once. Such a nice area! I have always been intrigued with the Amish lifestyle. We ate at Boyd & Wurthman’s and the Amish Donut shop….both absolutely delicious!
Lynette I have so enjoyed watching your videos! I am so glad my sister Sarah told me about them. I have to exercise right now because I had valve replacement surgery so your videos really help me when I am on the bike to make the time go faster! And not only that it tells me how long I’ve been biking ! 😀 Walnut Creek cheese is my favorite place to stop and it is always a must stop when we go to Amish country!
Lynette you have such a beautiful family .. your mom showing the quilts was amazing .. as iam a quilt collector .. lol .. safe travels sweet friend .. thank you for sharing your sweet family with us .. God bless be well!! 😊💕
I was born and raised in Ohio and when we travel on vacations, I’m always happy to come home…I need to travel more within Ohio because it is a beautiful state!! Love the country life! Tfs your family and history here in Ohio! 💕👍🇺🇸🙏🇵🇷
This trip was so much fun!! I didn’t want it to end!! Your family home is beautiful!! I loved the shops and watching your children with the kitten and the puppies!! I hope we get to see the vanities when they’re installed. I really did enjoy everything!!🌺🙏😃🎚❤️
I love when y'all go back home! It reminds me of living just across the bridge in Owensboro, Kentucky when I was young. I learned to swim in the Ohio River a long time ago! The beautiful farms like your families! It's just so beautiful!!! Thank You so much for taking us along! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Pam I was born in Owensboro Kentucky and lived there for years! My Dad was in the Army so we moved all over the world but still have a Uncle and cousins in Owensboro! It is so nice to hear of someone who lived around there!
This is like a hidden side of Ohio but luckily I was always obsessed with Amish and Mennonite culture as a child and my Nana lived in the country with Mennonite neighbors. We Didnt talk to them too much but would get a wave here and there. Then as a Greyhound driver (before they made all the cuts) I got to service many of the Amish communities(West Salem, Wooster, Apple Creek, etc.)
Thank you so much for sharing your trip! I love visiting Holmes county and It was there i was inspired to learn to quilt! Before the pandemic i would visit my daughter in Columbus and we would go to Berlin and Sugarcreek and I really miss it. Can't wait to return and visit my favorite fabric store in Berlin!!!
That was such an amazing video. I live in the Uk and I just love the scenery and the area you filmed. The stores look great to explore. Thank you for sharing this trip with us x
Lynette, you create some of the greatest videos, this one was fabulous, loved seeing the country, the people, the shops, so much fun ! Thank you.....I always enjoy you and your family.
Lynette, you have a beautiful family. Miss Oaklyn is precious and developing a sweet and gentle personality. I am from NJ and have enjoyed Amish markets here for years and in PA...would love to travel to Ohio. God bless you all 🙏🙏🙏🙏💕
Thank you for sharing your family and your lifestyle with I live in Arizona on a six generation under the homestead we live in line and we were taught a lot on how to live the Amish in the my dad said to all of us 11 kids the reason he taught us this was that we could take care of ourselves later in case something happens my mother's mother was from Mexico and they came up in here in the covered wagons in the 1800s and the early 1900
I'm so happy I spotted your channel....grew up in Medina, OH and now also living in Florida....Oh how I do miss Holmes County...its always been my favorite Ohio memory...and so many of your favorites store are mine. Thanks for sharing Lynette
Thank you all we love watching your videos! We live in Geurnsey County and are often throughout Holmes County and the Baltic area. Blessings to you and your family safe travels thank you so much for making these videos.
Oh Lynette! Such a wonderful video! I could never leave if I lived there....so beautiful and peaceful.. You have such a wonderful, warm, loving family.. You are truly blessed.
I was sent here by Gini's Joint who knows i love Yoders shop. Have subscribed from rural Cyprus, as I enjoy seeing the Amish life, and would love to live that way.
I really enjoyed this. I was suppose to go there two years ago but the trip was cancelled due to illness. I hope I will get there someday. It looks like a wonderful place. Those doll's clothes look adorable. I've always loved dolls. I'm sure that Oaklyn will love them too. Maybe just have someone buy the clothes for now, and save them. I think you may be getting a pet in the future too.
This video made me homesick for Ohio. I lived in Springfield and my one, Grandmother Zook, lived in West Liberty and Grandmother Harshbarger lived in the country. They attended Oak Grove Mennonite Church south of West Liberty. Loved going to both of their houses. Enjoyed your video. I have visited Holmes County many years ago and wished I had known about those stores
We loved visiting the Amish areas when we vacationed in Ohio. We live in NY, so we drove. I would like to go again and visit some of the areas that you mentioned. Thank you for sharing 😀
So beautiful, Lyn. I really miss all the green and the rich, black soil. I have lived in NM the last almost 4 decades. Your family is so beautiful and sweet. You all make me feel like I am at home.❤
My dad and I were driving back from Akron OH, and we saw two Amish buggies, and signs with the Amish buggy on them. Fun trip, I really liked Akron and I liked spending time with my dad, my best friend.
I love these slice-of-life videos! I always enjoy seeing your family and all the things you show us in Ohio. I watch with a smile on my face the entire time. :)
Beautiful country. We go to Ripley and Augusta for drives. And cross the river on the Ferry. Your videos make me hungry showing all the good food. We’ll be going to Venice in Oct unless Covid Closes things. I don’t want to sit in condo. Rather stay here for Fall and some cool weather! So many fall festivals in Ohio and KY Love seeing Oaklyn running around barefooted!
Hi Lynette What a full video that was When I think of ‘Amish’ families I don’t imagine the fun you all have growing up The shops are amazing, I could have a ball and spend a fortune. You are both blessed with lovely passionate friendly and very close family ties. It’s heartwarming. Love the gentle giant of a horse also Safe journey home Love Kim x x
Thank you for taking us along on your trip to Ohio. All the farm scenery is beautiful. The farm buildings and homes are so pristine and well cared for. We actually went to Cincinnati on our honeymoon 42 years ago. My husband is a big Reds fan so we went to ballgames! I can remember looking across the Ohio River into Kentucky. We crossed a bridge and went over to Kentucky just to say we were there. Sadly we had run out of time before we could visit the Amish area but I would love to go back sometime. It is wonderful to see families appreciating togetherness. The green fields and trees are so amazing, peaceful and tranquil! Your travel videos are always a pleasure. Thank you again!!!

That's my kind of wedding -- more than one cake. 🤪 It was great to see your grandpa up and walking.
It was so good to see your grandfather up and walking around with the walker. I enjoyed this video so much.
Your American culture is so diverse and wonderful amd Amish coming out is a blessing to the rest of us. I hope to go one day. I can't help thinking of contrast with the madness of riots last summer and also glad no masks needed.
God bless America.
Just beautiful. It nice when families stay in the same home for many years, today people move every few years.
Oh Lyn, that dark, rich soil of Ohio…I miss the north. Been to Holmes Co. many times. This was a delightful walk down memory lane. Those quilts are beautiful! Be blessed.

Wonderful farm scenes and family get togethers, warms my heart to watch.

Your family has THE strongest family resemblance and it’s so sweet!
I enjoyed watching this so much. I was so surprised to see you were in Aberdeen. 😲 You guys were so close to my neck of the woods.

Really expected you to leave with a puppy! Love how everything is so neat and clean! Thanks for the tour of this lovely area!
Wow, your family’s farms are so amazing! Never knew Ohio was so beautiful.
Greetings from Spain, Lynette! What an absolutely gorgeous place Holmes County looks. Thank you for sharing a glimpse into your family and a special wedding. Blessing to you all, especially the new bride and groom. Hope you got home safely! Louise
I really enjoyed that blog love when you give us a glimpse into your culture. Love from Ireland 🇮🇪❤♥
So much fun family time, loved the antique car, fishing, the animals, seeing the farm machinary.
I love going to "Amish country". I live in MI but grew up in Ohio....I recently took my mom to Holmes county for her birthday. We stayed at the Berlin Grande hotel and it was very nice! After all the rave reviews, we met my cousin at East Main kitchen for dinner, but they were short staffed, service was already slow before a large mennonnite family came in who all seemed to know the staff.

My childhood on a farm, so miss this kind of living, brought back so many beautiful memories! Thank you 😊 ❤️❤️❤️
Wow, I've never seen so many handmade quilts! And they're all so well made. I've never seen one in person. My great grandparents had a cattle farm in the country and we'd visit them every year until they passed away growing up. This video brought back so many fond memories. I wish I'd cherished my time with them more. Thank you so much for sharing your family trip.
what a lovely family visit! When you asked your dad about memories it got me thinking about the courage your parents must've had for breaking away from such a strong tradition. I know you have given your testimony but I would sure love to hear their faith journey. Its such a personal experience though so totally understandable if they wouldn't want to publicly share their story.....and its not like you dont have content coming out your ears these days 😜😎 Thanks for another peacefilled socialmedia sesh.
When we lived in west Pa we would spend a lot of time in Holmes County & the area in general.I'm a quilter so trips to Charm for the quilt store were a delight to me, and my husband would always go to the big lumber store near Charm. Now we live in Sarasota County, Fl and only get back about once a year or so. Sadly, we don't always get over to Ohio. A stop at the walnut Creek cheese store is also a definite when we go there.
Best feel good RUclips on the internet. Enjoyed the warmth and joy of such a beautiful family.
Gosh, what a beautiful part of the world! Thanks for showing us around and what a lovely family you have. Love your vlogs- best wishes xx
I enjoyed this video very much! “Ohio, the heart of it all” was a slogan for many years. Holmes County is beautiful and I hope to go there someday. Thanks for showing so many beautiful shops and restaurants. The horse and buggy ride looked like fun and your children will have fond memories of that for a long time. Glad the weather was really nice for your visit. I especially loved seeing the beautiful Ohio River at Ripley. My family and I went through that town many times over the years on our way to see our families in KY. Looking forward to your next video!
I love going to Holmes County when we go home to visit our family in Ohio I have always loved Amish way of life never lived it but I am absolutely love their way of life thank you so much for sharing and Walnut Creek products are awesome everybody needs to try them
Thank you again Lynette for taking us along to Ohio again!
Brought back memories of my family visiting the Shakers in New Hamphire!
My mom had a friend’s sister that grew up there!
I plan to go next year when I go home to visit!
My daughter-in-law’s mother sold Shaker furniture and herbs in Rhode Island!
She was so surprised when I told her of my memories of them!
So we will visit Canterbury Shaker Village in New Hampshire and Hancock Shaker Village in Hancock Massachusetts!
The country looks so beautiful!!! I live in the desert and I'm swooning over all that green! Seeing so many generations of your family come together is so amazing! And showing your kids their roots. Loved this ❤ God bless
Glimpses of the bride and groom, the picture taking, all the children. Meaningful and enjoyable. Loved the cakes, the next morning for the religious gathering at the grandparents. The walk by the creek. Reminds me of growing up in Iowa in the Methodist religion, and lots of farm life spent at our grandparents and with the cousins on their farms.
These are always my absolute favourite videos.
They make my heart happy : )
I love the simplicity of Amish life,but I don't think I could live without electricity.Although I don't have a cell phone,my land line keeps me in touch with friends and family.Having to go without things for a while.....like when there's a power-outage.....makes you appreciate them even more when they are there.Always thankful.
Thank You❗ Lynette, I loved every minute of your video ' vlog ' My Grandmother was Amish she left with her sister and brothers years and years ago. So my mom was Mennonite
They left the Amish to work for Henry Ford, and Detroit Edison, from what my Mother told me. My Grandmother was
Fannie Crow, her Parents left Pennsylvania and Ohio and moved to
West Branch, Michigan. I have had
Relatives from within family. They contacted me. Very exciting for me
They had a baby picture of me. So I
was excited. FB helped alot of it.
I am a follower of yours. So I absolutely enjoyed this video.
What a beautiful area. So much to see and do. The kids loved all the activities. I wish I could live there. So quiet and serene. You were one lucky girl to get to live there. Love your big family and all the love you share. I feel like I've been on vacation just watching this video.
The boy's faces in the back of the buggy..adorable. I think I would buy a doll for myself. Lol so sweet. I love it when you guys go to Ohio. Peaceful. Stay safe.
I don't get to Holmes County often but it's my favorite area to wander. We LOVE golden retrievers! Those puppies are SO adorable. We've had 5 & would like another in the future. I'll have to remember to check with you when we're ready. (We're dealing with serious illness right now so that takes up all the energy!) Loved seeing all the family enjoying life on the farm!
I just smiled the entire time during this video! What a joy to see your family and all the beautiful farms and the wedding! Oaklynn is absolutely precious! Blessings on your family! ❣️❣️❣️✝️
Went on a field trip here in 5th grade for a week (I'm from Columbus) and I must say that experience is stuck in my head I'm now 30 yrs old that's how fun it was they showed us a great time
Thanks for the visit! Congrats to your cousin on her wedding. Omgosh the cakes for dessert looked luscious and the wedding cake itself was stunning!! I loved it when the puppies swamped Oaklynn. The buggy ride looked so fun too. That steak though! Yummo!
Lynette, you have no idea how much your video was appreciated by my husband and myself. The Holmes County area holds such a special place in our hearts. Since 1984 , We have been traveling there from our home in Erie, Pa. as often as we can, usually at least 4 times a year. Over all that time we have furnished our home with the beautiful furniture, curtains and linens etc. We always come home with so many favorite food items from all the different stores, especially Walnut Creek Foods. We have even purchased two puppies from the area for our grandchildren. We have not been able to go there the last two years, first year from quarantining because of Covid restrictions. We were so looking forward to this year and traveling back to there. But we have experienced several health problems since winter and it looks like we will not make it back again this year. Your video showed so many places and roads that we know so well, I got a little melancholy watching it but I loved every minute of it. That area is the most beautiful and peaceful place and we miss it so much. We can’t wait to get back there as soon as we are able to, thank you again 💞
WOW... Heavenly beauty. Delicious food. Thank you so much for sharing with us.
So just over a year ago, I saw for the 1st time, the East Main Kitchen, in Baltic, in 1 of your videos. My husband and I couldn’t wait to go check this place out. By far the best ribeye we have ever had! I have since taken family there, and luncheons with the ladies. We have never been disappointed! The shrimp and grits are amazing! ( and I don’t even like grits!). Thank you for making us aware of this place!
Those quilts!!!💞💞💞💞, no way I would've left there without buying one. That lucius grass. Beautiful country. Always wonderful to go back home to see family.
I'm from that area but moved to Texas many years ago... Have 5 brothers back there and the rest of my family.. Love the Amish fudge 😋 I remember when my momma took me to Columbus for my Drs appointments .. We'd always stop in Chillicothe and Circleville for cheese and Fudge!!! Good to see my roots n nature💕
We camp in Berlin a few times a year. It’s getting harder to get a site as the popularity of doing so grows and I wish I knew of campgrounds maybe off the more popular areas….
I’ve been thinking recently of getting my craving for this beautiful area fulfilled and watching this vlog was awesome to see the areas you took us to….just seeing how it is to be close to such beautifully cared for homes etc was joyful….as a tourist you only see from the road….
The hitching of the horse for the buggy ride and being inside as it went about, the riding in the car down the roads that we so often just drive around and the s restaurants you visited was so nice……please do more videos as such.
I don’t know how you could move from such a beautiful farm area and the family being near you….
I give your people credit for the patience they have to endure the disrespecting drivers that carelessly pass you on the roads…..and it amazes me the children alone on the roads especially now a days….what trust you have in the Lords protection of them…
I come home each time disliking my farms lack of pristine care…wish I could have such beauty in my flower, gardens and fields……
The weddings were so beautiful and the flower arrangements ……the display of food and lol the dessert table at your sisters wedding was unbelievable…..
Having a community you had here in Ohio must have been hard to leave…….Berlin and surrounding Amish towns definitely are like no other ones we have visited……oh how I wish I could live in that area…….thank you for the video and please do more of those when you come again….
I lived in Georgetown, from 94-09. I worked at the Kroger in Mt. Orab. I didn't get a lot of chances to go over to Adams where there was a big store, but I loved it when the Mennonite and Amish came to Kroger.
Beautiful, excellent video. "Oaklyn gets to go again?!" 😂😂😂😂💕👌, Thanks for your time, and sharing with us.
My Dad had a I believe a 1976 I want to say but rusty with my memory of the year of a red Pontiac convertible he LOVED it. Lots of good fun times we would be driving with the top down to the poconos and it would start to rain and he would say ur on a highway you won’t feel a drop lol we were drenched lol but that’s what made it fun. New subscriber. Loved seeing ur car brought back great memories 💖
We use to live in Macon, Ohio and our children attended Russelville schools, this was in the late 1980's so a long time ago, but we enjoyed our time there, beautiful area.
Lovely video of Holmes County! The kids are getting so big and Miss Oakland has the most beautiful eyes. I can't enough of those green fields, farm animals, and all the wholesomeness. The wedding was simple yet elegant. You have such a wonderful family!! Thank you for sharing this part of your life with us. Be blessed today, Lynette!!
Love seeing the beautiful country, your family is precious. I enjoy watching your videos so much - especially this type. God bless you and your family!!
I love to see your videos of when you go back to Ohio. It's just so quaint and peaceful. When you live your life in the city it's nice to see serenity.
Thank you for sharing your trip and your family
Love it when you go back home for a visit. Those dolls and little bonnets were the cutest. Hope you had a good and safe trip home to Florida. Xx
I enjoyed this video so much. Great camera work. I felt like I was there ! Such a nice experience for the kids and for them to be able to walk around in that beautiful green grass. And the puppies !!!!
We visited Holmes County once. Such a nice area! I have always been intrigued with the Amish lifestyle. We ate at Boyd & Wurthman’s and the Amish Donut shop….both absolutely delicious!
Lynette I have so enjoyed watching your videos! I am so glad my sister Sarah told me about them. I have to exercise right now because I had valve replacement surgery so your videos really help me when I am on the bike to make the time go faster! And not only that it tells me how long I’ve been biking ! 😀 Walnut Creek cheese is my favorite place to stop and it is always a must stop when we go to Amish country!
Lynette you have such a beautiful family .. your mom showing the quilts was amazing .. as iam a quilt collector .. lol .. safe travels sweet friend .. thank you for sharing your sweet family with us .. God bless be well!! 😊💕
I was born and raised in Ohio and when we travel on vacations, I’m always happy to come home…I need to travel more within Ohio because it is a beautiful state!! Love the country life! Tfs your family and history here in Ohio! 💕👍🇺🇸🙏🇵🇷
This trip was so much fun!! I didn’t want it to end!! Your family home is beautiful!! I loved the shops and watching your children with the kitten and the puppies!! I hope we get to see the vanities when they’re installed. I really did enjoy everything!!🌺🙏😃🎚❤️
You are a talented filmmaker, Lynette! Your life is just beautiful…thank you for sharing it. 💗
I love when y'all go back home! It reminds me of living just across the bridge in Owensboro, Kentucky when I was young. I learned to swim in the Ohio River a long time ago! The beautiful farms like your families! It's just so beautiful!!! Thank You so much for taking us along! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Pam I was born in Owensboro Kentucky and lived there for years! My Dad was in the Army so we moved all over the world but still have a Uncle and cousins in Owensboro! It is so nice to hear of someone who lived around there!
@@judymccord871 I learned to swim in the Ohio river. Lots of memories for both of us!
This is like a hidden side of Ohio but luckily I was always obsessed with Amish and Mennonite culture as a child and my Nana lived in the country with Mennonite neighbors. We Didnt talk to them too much but would get a wave here and there. Then as a Greyhound driver (before they made all the cuts) I got to service many of the Amish communities(West Salem, Wooster, Apple Creek, etc.)
Thank you so much for sharing your trip! I love visiting Holmes county and It was there i was inspired to learn to quilt! Before the pandemic i would visit my daughter in Columbus and we would go to Berlin and Sugarcreek and I really miss it. Can't wait to return and visit my favorite fabric store in Berlin!!!
First car I drove was a standard shift!!...thanks for taking me along, I've learned so much about your culture Lynette!!!
That was such an amazing video. I live in the Uk and I just love the scenery and the area you filmed. The stores look great to explore. Thank you for sharing this trip with us x
Lynette, you create some of the greatest videos, this one was fabulous, loved seeing the country, the people, the shops, so much fun ! Thank you.....I always enjoy you and your family.
Lynette, you have a beautiful family. Miss Oaklyn is precious and developing a sweet and gentle personality. I am from NJ and have enjoyed Amish markets here for years and in PA...would love to travel to Ohio. God bless you all 🙏🙏🙏🙏💕
Thank you for sharing your family and your lifestyle with I live in Arizona on a six generation under the homestead we live in line and we were taught a lot on how to live the Amish in the my dad said to all of us 11 kids the reason he taught us this was that we could take care of ourselves later in case something happens my mother's mother was from Mexico and they came up in here in the covered wagons in the 1800s and the early 1900
I always love driving down I 77 or 71...and occasionally if you look up you will see buggies crossing over the highway on a bridge.
Always enjoy Holmes Co videos . We lived there 2 1/2 years after we were married .
The area and scenery is just soo beautiful. All those beautiful old houses. Never see anything 😍
I'm so happy I spotted your channel....grew up in Medina, OH and now also living in Florida....Oh how I do miss Holmes County...its always been my favorite Ohio memory...and so many of your favorites store are mine. Thanks for sharing Lynette
Thank you all we love watching your videos! We live in Geurnsey County and are often throughout Holmes County and the Baltic area. Blessings to you and your family safe travels thank you so much for making these videos.
So excited to say that on April 15th a group of us from church are going to eat at East Main Kitchen 🎉🥳
My husband and just went to Holmes County, how beautiful and restful. We celebrated our 27th Anniversary. Enjoy all your videos.
Oh Lynette! Such a wonderful video! I could never leave if I lived there....so beautiful and peaceful.. You have such a wonderful, warm, loving family.. You are truly blessed.
This was not too long it was wonderful! Loved the buggy ride the puppies and stories about family. Well done!
I was sent here by Gini's Joint who knows i love Yoders shop. Have subscribed from rural Cyprus, as I enjoy seeing the Amish life, and would love to live that way.
I really enjoyed this. I was suppose to go there two years ago but the trip was cancelled due to illness. I hope I will get there someday. It looks like a wonderful place. Those doll's clothes look adorable. I've always loved dolls. I'm sure that Oaklyn will love them too. Maybe just have someone buy the clothes for now, and save them. I think you may be getting a pet in the future too.
This video made me homesick for Ohio. I lived in Springfield and my one, Grandmother Zook, lived in West Liberty and Grandmother Harshbarger lived in the country. They attended Oak Grove Mennonite Church south of West Liberty. Loved going to both of their houses. Enjoyed your video. I have visited Holmes County many years ago and wished I had known about those stores
We loved visiting the Amish areas when we vacationed in Ohio. We live in NY, so we drove. I would like to go again and visit some of the areas that you mentioned. Thank you for sharing 😀
So beautiful, Lyn. I really miss all the green and the rich, black soil. I have lived in NM the last almost 4 decades. Your family is so beautiful and sweet. You all make me feel like I am at home.❤
Such a relaxing place to visit!! The wedding was beautiful and the food looked delicious!!
I felt so good after watching this. Such wholesome living. I am so envious ❤️🙏✝️
My dad and I were driving back from Akron OH, and we saw two Amish buggies, and signs with the Amish buggy on them. Fun trip, I really liked Akron and I liked spending time with my dad, my best friend.
Aww your children on the horse & buggy were so cute!!! Im still fairly new to Ohio,,,I have alot of places still to explore, thank you for sharing🤗
Great to see you and your family busy with family time ❤️🙏
I love these slice-of-life videos! I always enjoy seeing your family and all the things you show us in Ohio. I watch with a smile on my face the entire time. :)
I just love Amish life. Is similar like my town in Oaxaca Mexico
Beautiful country. We go to Ripley and Augusta
for drives. And cross the river on the Ferry.
Your videos make me hungry showing all the good food. We’ll be going to Venice in Oct unless Covid
Closes things. I don’t want to sit in condo. Rather stay here for Fall and some cool weather!
So many fall festivals in Ohio and KY
Love seeing Oaklyn running around barefooted!
We LOVE these videos! How could you ever leave? Just beautiful.
☺️ I was a little girl when we left HC. And we honestly love it in Florida
Hi Lynette
What a full video that was
When I think of ‘Amish’ families I don’t imagine the fun you all have growing up
The shops are amazing, I could have a ball and spend a fortune. You are both blessed with lovely passionate friendly and very close family ties. It’s heartwarming.
Love the gentle giant of a horse also
Safe journey home
Love Kim x x
Thank you for taking us along on your trip to Ohio. All the farm scenery is beautiful. The farm buildings and homes are so pristine and well cared for. We actually went to Cincinnati on our honeymoon 42 years ago. My husband is a big Reds fan so we went to ballgames! I can remember looking across the Ohio River into Kentucky. We crossed a bridge and went over to Kentucky just to say we were there. Sadly we had run out of time before we could visit the Amish area but I would love to go back sometime. It is wonderful to see families appreciating togetherness. The green fields and trees are so amazing, peaceful and tranquil! Your travel videos are always a pleasure. Thank you again!!!
