I will soon put a post about this on my blog 70Plus and Still Kicking - <BR/>www.70plusandstillkicking.blogspot.com<BR/>You are obviously justifiably proud of your family Judy ...<BR/>By the way my old dad used to quote your phrase from Abraham Lincoln when I was a little ankle biter.

Next time, you'll have to stop and get some cheese from Zimmerman's which is to turn left out of Sunny Valley (which used to be Nolt's) and travel about 4 miles or so. It's a very quaint home-business (http://littlecheeseshop.com) which supplies a business in Glasgow. But it can seem out of the way.<BR/><BR/>Don't you just love the spices at the bulk store?! I have promised myself to only buy spices from there from now on.<BR/><BR/>I haven't been in the Cafe since they added the addition. We'll have to go soon. They are the BEST place to eat around.<BR/><BR/>I'll have to find the antique store in H-burg.

My husband and I went to Lancaster a few years ago with a church group and really enjoyed it. We saw a couple of Christian plays performed at the Lancaster Playhouse and also visited the Amish stores up that way.

Your family and you are beautiful and I'm so glad you all had another year with an additional person that was able to go! I love to go to the "farmer's market" and can't imagine how wonderful the Amish home-grown food must be. Will you "can" the blackberries or use them another way? What a wonderful family filled day! It's amazing how much one can pack in a long-day.<BR/><BR/>It's great that you took the pictures and have these great memories for life! <BR/><BR/>Yes, to the question if Anne and Josh are a cute couple, that's a definite "Yes"!!!!<BR/><BR/>Have a great day!<BR/><BR/>KellyKellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11865447109053570771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4986262392503672837.post-69457888761940296942008-07-13T13:59:00.000-04:002008-07-13T13:59:00.000-04:00Judy,Sounds like just a perfect day you all had. ...Judy,<BR/><BR/><BR/>Sounds like just a perfect day you all had.

I had played to go last year to Lancaster, PA to the Amish community but the plans changed. I have been to the community in Arthur, IL that is close to where my late husband lived in Kansas, IL. I enjoyed the pictures of your family and the produce goodies very much.luv2gosuphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09758295187730293717noreply@blogger.com
