Guest guest Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 My mom, sister and I took a " road trip " today to Volant, PA, a quaint little town where many Amish people live. As I was walking out the door of a gift shop, I saw the first horse and buggy (Amish) and immediately heard the clip clop of the horses hooves. OH MY, what an AWESOME sound!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I stood there just soaking it all in with the happiest smile. That was my first time to ever hear that!!!!!! Mom was about to cry over my happiness. Then just when the magical moment passes, I hear the driver shout out " git, git " and a moment later, it registered in my brain that he was commanding the horse to move faster. COOL! Then we went to a restaurant and I heard an antique mantle clock chime every quarter hour while we were eating. What a day!! 2007 is on its way to sounding great!!! Freedom 9/21/05 HOOKED!!

Guest guest Posted December 30, 2006 Report Share Posted December 30, 2006 , GREAT CI moments. And did you know the horses will turn right or left depending on the " gee " and " haw " commands? My implant surgeon did a lot of implants on Amish and Mennonite people in the Warren, OH area - near Pennsylvania. Why? Because sign language has " no part " of their culture. So they get CIs for their children. Amazing.
