A Perfect Day to Go....

We had errands to run.

Both Georgia and I.

She.... to the Restaurant Store for Plates

to be used at church.

Me..... to Fillmore Container, Inc. for

my initial supply of jars and soy to 

begin making candles for the Fall and 

Christmas Season.

We scoped out the weather for the 

week and decided that Friday would be 

our best option.  

Then we made our plans.

Chelsea would gladly go with us,

that was no surprise.

That Jonathan wanted to come...

this was a surprise.

So...the three of us waited in the driveway

for Grandma Georgia to arrive in her truck.

This trip required a truck.

Such a haul we had planned!

I was thinking of you...yes, YOU!

So...I made Georgia get out and take 

a photo with the kids before we left.

I don't think she was very happy....

Chelsea either...

but you can't keep good ladies down.

Soon they were up to their usual antics and having a great time!

Jonathan was showing much emotion

on this Friday.

See the difference?

LOL....stinker!

Apparently trucks require gasoline

in order to run....and the best price 

to be found was at the corner of 896

and Route 30.

Georgia loves it when you snap her 

picture without any warning.

Go ahead.  

Try it!

She'll squeal a little and say your 

name in a stern voice...but don't let

her fool you.

And don't you think she is all framed so 

nicely in the mirror?

Of course she is!

Well, Target was the next stop.

But on our way we drove across Route 30.

I spotted this sign.  

This was the best I could do, Miss Paula.

We were stopped for a light and short of 

pushing the car in front of me I couldn't 

get past this pole.

This was the day that The Celtic Women

were performing at The American Music Theater.

I had checked for tickets but they were sold

out a long time ago!

A little Chelsea and Jonathan photo

at Target...

just to prove we were there.

They love it sooooo much when

I act like a tourist.

Trust me...wink!

We didn't get excited about much there.

Just a shirt for Chelsea...it does look nice on her.

Then to lunch.

So across Witmer Road and over to 340 

where we arrived at our next much anticipated

destination.

We highly recommend this place.

Georgia discovered it with some friends

of hers and we just cross our fingers and hope

to need to run across here for church supplies.

We have mastered the art of timing 

it to coincide with lunch!

Chelsea recommends the Tomato Bisque while

Georgia nearly always gets the Veggie Quesadilla.

Stuffed full of every veggie under the sun!

I watched a couple of planes take off from 

the Smoketown airport, which is right behind the 

restaurant.  This was the first time I had been seated 

to see out the window.

Kind of fun!

As for me...I delayed the process of taking drink orders 

by taking 

photos of Roosters!  

Did you hear that there is 

a huge Rooster party coming up on Friday???

Barb at Bella Vista is the hostess. 

She puts so much of herself 

into this delightful 

party.  

So anyway..our server was amused, I think!

Just meant to be, I guess.  

I mean, they didn't have any roosters the last time 

we visited T. Burk & Co.

After lunch it was off to The Restaurant Store.

Fun!
Anything you might need to run a Restaurant
or Food Service.
We like to buy flavored Syrups and Teas here.
But Georgia always gets plates, cups and bowls.
By the huge box.
Good prices and great service!

Finally we made the final scheduled stop at Fillmore

Container.  

Get that?  

Fill.More.Container???

Oh, they are clever!

Turns out the owner had lived in the house my 

Mom owns now until he was three years old.

The day we discovered this I had called in to 

place an order and I guess they were so busy 

that my call rolled over to him.  

Small world...that is for sure!

The next time I went in he 

came out of his office and we had

a very nice chat. 

His wife happened to be manning

the desk that afternoon and I found them both to 

be very nice and down to earth. 

Another reason I love to 

buy my supplies locally 

whenever possible.

On this visit

Conrad brought out my order.

I, so thoughtfully, held the cart for him 

while Jonathan stood in the back of 

the truck and stacked it full.

Ahhhh...the site of work to be completed.

It blesses my heart!

Then, we left to head back to Rockvale Square

Outlets for an impromptu look in a couple of 

stores.  It was still early afternoon and we just weren't

quite ready to head for home yet.

I kept my eye on the truck....

You just never know when someone might want

to unload your cases of styrofoam plates or dozens

of boxes of glass jars.  

Really.  

You just don't never know!

That saying is for Mrs. Rabe.

Her Grandma used to say it.

Hope you have enjoyed a pleasant day 

out of doors recently.  

It is good to see the sights and 

smell that fresh country air.

'Specially in Lancaster County....

Whew!  

You should smell our "Fresh" Farm Air.

Nothing like it!!!

Linking up with Susan's Outdoor Wednesday Meme
at A Southern Daydreamer.
I do hope you'll stop by and see what others have
been up to!

Hugs,
