AbstractPortion of a longer interview in Pennsylvania Dutch, originally published in two parts in the Ephrata Shopping News on May 18 and 22, 2002. The story involves details of "der Ziegdaag" (Moving Day), which traditionally took place on April 1st in the 19th century, and was when "those changing residences moved out of their homes and into another. . . The move was accomplished with all horse-drawn equipment, . . . [and] the first wagon to arrive at the new home was the "Offewaage," so that the kitchen could be set up. . . [for] the noon meal." Includes an English translation of 20 words that appear in the text.
