A Visit with The David Kline

First of all I will give a little background information about David Kline for those of you who may not know "THE DAVID KLINE" (Sorry got a little carried away there). Anyways, Daivd is an Amish man who lives in Holmes County, Ohio. He is the author of two books called: Great Possessions and Scratching a Woodchuck. This year for school we read from Great Possessions every Tuesday and Thursday. In the book Great Possessions David writes of his farm and all the creatures he finds on his farm. From reading his book you can definately see his love and passion to get to know every part of his farm. He is a dedicated farmer and has a deep faith.
So today my dad and sisters and I got to visit THE David Kline since we were in Ohio. On the way there I was getting some butterflies cause I mean I was going to meet David Kline. Sorry to those of you who cannot relate to my excitement right now. Anyways, we put David's address into the GPS and it took us sorta close. But anyways we found our way there. When we got there David invited us into his house and we sat down in the living room with the wood stove keeping us warm. First of all, I will have to admit my dad was a little bit more excited than I was. So my dad was the one who asked most of the questions. My dad likes to think of David as an inspiration to him. So my dad talked about multiple things with David. It was very fun listening to David overflowing with all of his knowledge about so many things. Overall, it was a very neat to meet David and now will be able to put a face to him while reading his book.
Another subject, we left from Kidron, Ohio at around 1:00pm and are right now in Goshen, Indiana. My great uncle passed away this week and the funeral is tomorrow here in Goshen.  Tomorrow after the funeral we will be heading back to VA.
Blessings to all,

That's incredible that you got to meet him! It was your dad that introduced me to David Kline's books, and I enjoyed them so much. I can definitely relate to your excitement!

I think it's funny that you used your GPS to find his place. There's a clash of old and new! :)
