It will be a "treasure hunt" of sorts.<BR/>It would be even more fun if you came east with Miss Paula and we and Mrs. Rabe all went to Lititz together...<BR/><BR/>Deby, I love Grace Livingston Hill. It has been a very long while since I have read any but I could not get enough of them as I was growing up. My Dad used to get so upset that I was reading it, not understanding that I was learning so much about making do in tough times, being a creative homemaker and the proper relationships between men and women. The men in those books were always so attentive to the ladies they were courting. Sigh...<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the fun feedback!<BR/><BR/>Becky K.Becky K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10531485758141842829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6696888066087897864.post-56154657136519976212008-05-25T13:40:00.000-04:002008-05-25T13:40:00.000-04:00Hm.

I forgot the name of it..it's on a side street near the pretzel place and just off the main road. You'd turn right onto the street if traveling north and the little shop is on the right side. Got that? hehe. sigh. <BR/><BR/>anyway, the store owner does amazing work with hand-dyed wool. She also has gorgeous pottery available. When we were there last I thoroughly enjoyed my visit with the owner and though she was out of business cards, I wrote her info on a scrap piece of paper that quickly made its way to outer space. sigh sigh sigh. I could use more hand-dyed wool.<BR/><BR/>I need the name of the shop, a website or tele number...in your spare time. hehehe.<BR/><BR/>Oh dear...I just re-read my post and am chuckling to myself.

It takes place very near our church. <BR/><BR/>I felt like I might catch a glimpse of the characters when I crossed the creek near the Progressive shoe store!<BR/><BR/>I have been to the Quilt Museum!

I am just taking extra strength tylenol for the pain and it is doing "enough". Thankfully! My head was swimming from all of the stuff they gave me at the hospital.<BR/><BR/>I have not been to the Quilt Museum in Intercourse. There is one in Lancaster City. Could it have moved? I have been to a quilt shop in Intercourse that blew me away. A friend of mine who was formerly Amish took me there to meet her cousin. They have the most beautiful quilts I have seen anywhere.<BR/><BR/>I'll be doing some more Lancaster County travel posts. Let me know what you want to "see"...<BR/><BR/>Becky K.Becky K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10531485758141842829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6696888066087897864.post-29011367723907655232008-05-24T11:04:00.000-04:002008-05-24T11:04:00.000-04:00How're you feeling today?

Love. Them. Completely. <BR/><BR/>I'm thankful to have visited the Pennsylvania Amish area a number of times. It helped with my understanding even more. <BR/><BR/>Question: Have you been to the Amish Quilt Museum in Intercourse? I could spend days in that place and not tire of it. :)sherryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01869744622519612793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6696888066087897864.post-12288700769688883522008-05-24T10:17:00.000-04:002008-05-24T10:17:00.000-04:00My sister has this series, and I have read the fir...My sister has this series, and I have read the first two titles and enjoyed them immensely--terrific reading indeed!
