Lancaster County

Wow....this is an amazing place. It is absolutely the essence of the pure and simple way of living....the countryside is lovely...rolling hills, clusters of trees here and there, tiny towns with old homes and plenty of farmland. It's really pretty. It was a beautiful sunny warm day today too so it made everything even nicer.

We started out this morning in Adamstown, where we spent about 6 hours at two different outdoor flea markets. One was very similar to the Abbotsford market we always like to go to when we visit Mom...lots of tables set up in a gravel parking lot and then vendors inside the buildings as well. The other was really neat. It was called Stouds Market and was set in a grove of trees. It felt almost like a faire of some kind....lots of vendors, wooden statues here and there in the grove, some buildings decorated for the season...very cool. By the way, they seem to go all out here for Halloween...everywhere you look there are pumpkins and black cats and halloween decorations. Guess there is a history of witches and so on in New England so the spirit of the season flows out to places like this. It's certainly more than trick or treating...the celebrate all month long.

This afternoon we drove from Adamstown toward Lancaster. We decided to stay out of the city so tonight we're in a little town called Bird In Hand. We had dinner at the Plain and Fancy Family Restaurant where we sat at long tables with eight other people (our extended family) and ate our meal. They brought plates full of fried chicken, mashed potatoes, corn, green beans, sausage, roast beef, buns, and then shoo-fly or apple pie and ice cream for dessert. We just passed the plates of food around like you would at a family dinner...was quite fun actually. Got to know a couple from Long Island and another older couple from Tennessee.

We've seen a number of Amish horse drawn carriages. They clip along at quite a good speed. I kept trying to take pictures of them but Tom couldn't stop and so the pictures aren't that great. It seemed like many of the buggies had a young man and a young lady in them...I expect that is what the young folks do on a Sunday afternoon...go for a buggy ride. There were a few with families in them, but most were young couples. Tomorrow we plan to explore the countryside...lots of quilt shops, Amish Farms to tour...we want to visit some of the other little towns around...they all seem to have odd names though...Blue Ball, Intercourse, Virgintown...hmmmm. Anyway, it will be fun to see what's out there.

Enjoy the pictures...only one day of vacation left and then one day of travel...sigh...seems to have gone way too quickly.

Adamstown

Here we are in Adamstown, the Antique Capital of Pennsylvania! You can guess what we did today...yup...garage sales (found some brand new Stampin Up sets, cheap, cheap, cheap!) and antique stores. Found some wonderful stuff even if I didn't need it!

We were driving into Liditz today and saw our first Amish horse and buggy...was really quite cool. They were going amazingly fast too...clipping right along. We also saw lots of Amish folks dressed in their traditional style. The boys and men in their black trousers and straw hats and the women in their black bonnets and long dresses. Seems like the older women (probably my age) wear black all the time...good thing about that would be not having to worry what to wear each day...long black dress, white apron and black bonnet...that would be a cute work outfit, don't you think!

Saw this sign at one of our stops along the way...thought it was funny...some peoplo have such a way with words.

We went for dinner tonight at a microbrewery/restaurant/pub...it was really good. Had some excellent beer. Tom had a steak and I had a snitzel with the same kind of noodles my gramma used to make. Who knew the Dutch and the Hungarians both made the same kind of home-made noodles!

There is a huge, and I mean HUGE outdoor flea market here tomorrow so we're going to stay for that...will be fun to roam around and find more stuff we don't need. Sure wish we brought the truck! The antiques here are quite different from home...there are lots of shaker boxes, old coffee mills and butter presses....tons of pottery...much of it Pennsylvania Dutch with the gray/blue designs on it. Lots of salt glazed pottery...plenty of old, old old dolls (no, Lindsey, I'm not bringing home any more scary dolls!) I did find a couple more mustache cups for they shelf in the bathroom though...will have a nice collection of them when I'm done. Some of the handmade baskets are beautiful too, but very pricy...don't think I'll splurge on one unless I see a really good deal. I'm hoping to find some miniature dutch pottery and miniature baskets...at least that way I can take them home in my suitcase.

The weather has been ok...cloudy with bits of sunshine. We're disappointed about not seeing more colour in the trees, but guess we are a week too early. We won't have time to do all the travelling we had thought we might...there's just too much to see and do around here. Tomorrow after the flea market we'll head down to Lancaster county for more of the Amish experience...would love to see some of the quilts...saw antique ones, but it's hard to know if they are authentic or not.

Our trip is winding down way too quickly...we've only got a couple days left. I'd love to stay for a couple more weeks and just wander around out here...I don't really feel rested yet...everytime I think of going back to work I start getting stressed because we arrive late at night, then I have to be at work the next day for a meeting and it's all so rushed...we'll drive home on Wednesday morning and I'll work in the afternoon...that's the best we can do. I thought we'd be able to make it home Tuesday night, but there is no way. Anyway, it will all work out, I'm sure.

Enjoy the pictures!

Day 4 in Pennsylvania

This morning we started out from Bedford and saw quite a bit of countryside. We first went to the Old Bedford Village and took some pictures and looked around. It was quite interesting. After that we went on the covered bridge tour....it was awesome. We saw all kinds of them...one was new...most were old...a few were really old. We could drive over most of the but a few were too rickety.

After that we hit a few garage sales and antique markets and finally arrived in Carlisle. The town was absolutely buzzing...guess there is a huge car show here. The hotels were almost all full and charging outrageous rates...we finally found a Howard Johnsons that was reasonable but had to settle for a smoking room. Tomorrow we're heading toward Lancaster County where all of the Amish folks are settled. That should be pretty interesting too. There seems to be a festival of some kind in just about every little town we've gone through...either the Fall Foliage Festival, or the Apple Festival, or Autumn Festival...it's really neat that they seem to go all out to celebrate the turning of the leaves here.

Tom's already asleep and I'm pretty beat too so I think I'll make this short. Hope everyone is doing well.

Bridges of Bedford County

We had a good day today. Started out in Hagertown and spent the morning in a couple of Antique stores there and then headed toward Bedford where we wanted to see some covered bridges. We got on the Pennsylvania Turn Pike at Breezewood and expected we could simply get off at Bedford....not so. Turns out a Turn Pike has only one exit at each major highway interchange...and it turns out there are only about three of them between Breezewood and Pittsburg. We sure didn't want to go that far and when we saw the sign that said 119 miles to the next food and gas, we knew we had to get off the highway. It's much nicer on the side roads anyway!

The landscape is quite different here because there are very few coniferous trees. The hills look nice and rounded with the leafy trees and there are no sharp mountains, just nicely rolling hills. Lots of farms and the houses are quite different too. A lot of brick houses and most are two story salt box style...is really quite interesting. We found a lovely little place that we're considering buying...it's in the heart of the Alleghenie Mountains...would be a great spot to invest all of our kids inheritance into...check out the picture!

We did see some beautiful countryside and the colours are getting richer and richer the further north/west we go. We saw two covered bridges this afternoon...see pictures below. We're heading north a few miles tomorrow and will hope to see half a dozen or so more of them...they are really quite beautiful. The first one we stopped at had a railing where we could look over the edge of the bridge into the water and the water was FULL of fish. They were probably suckers of some kind...I could pick out a couple of catfish and lots that looked like an ugly trout...those are the suckers. Anyway, was fun to see.

When we stopped at the second bridge, a lady drove up in her SUV and asked if we wanted her to take our picture in front of the bridge.....Tom said "no, we can't...we don't have a wide angle lens"......geez.....she didn't catch on at all and said "ok" and drove on. Wonder if she got it later.

We had a wonderful steak dinner tonight at a place called Ed's and are ready to relax in front of the TV for a while. I'll write more tomorrow...enjoy the pictures.

On Vacation Again

Well, here we are in Maryland. We flew into Baltimore late on Tuesday night and have a week to spend exploring the states around this area. We're hoping to go through Pennsylvania up to New York and into Maine and then down the Atlantic coast to Baltimore by next Tuesday...we'll see how far we get. The good thing is that the states are very close together here so you can make it through a couple of them in an afternoon if you wanted to...our problem is those darn antique stores keep getting in our way. We are in Hagerstown this morning and will visit one huge antique market, then head up north to Pennsylvania and into Bedford County. There is a driving tour we'll take that will take us through at least eight covered bridges and some beautiful country. The leaves are just beginning to turn here, but further north they supposed to be at peak. They actually have a leaf report, just like a weather report that tells you where the leaves are best to see...guess we'll just have to see for ourselves.

We rented a small SUV for the trip...it's a Dodge Journey...is nice and roomy and comfortable to drive...and of course lots of room in the back for our antique treasures....not sure how we'll get them on the plane but we'll figure something out.

I've no pictures to post yet but should have a ton of them by tonight...will write again then.

Home...finally

Well, well, well...what a day we had yesterday. It started out ok...we got up and packed and checked out of the hotel...contacted the rental car company and they said to leave the car at the airport, so that worked out really well for us. We spent the day at Antique Malls...found some great stuff...really cool antique malls too...they were huge! Anyway, it took us most of the day to go through the two we visited and then we went to the aiport, left the car at the rental and headed for the terminal.

It seems the computers were down or something was wrong because there was a huge line-up of people. We arrived there around 5:00 p.m. and didn't get through the line till 7:00. That was ok though cuz we weren't flying out till 8:00ish. We found the gate and then listened to the announcement that the plane we needed to fly out on would not arrive in Dallas until 9:45 and that we'd miss our connector in Denver. Sooooo...Up I went to find out more details and was lucky enough to get two stand-by seats on a plane leaving right that minute, so we actually flew out at about the correct time.

We arrived in Denver at 9:30 their time...our flight was also leaving at 9:30 so we had to run to our gate (and I mean run!) On the way Tom was asking me the flight number...I stopped to find our tickets, told him and then we carried on. They were calling our name when we arrived at the gate and we were the last ones on the plane and found our seats....whew.......but there was one problem.................I left the laptop on the garbage can in the terminal where I stopped to check our flight number. Oh, my God.........I lept out of my seat and ran up to the flight attendant and asked if they'd hold the plane for a few minutes. They agreed to do that and I flew up the ramp and into the terminal. I ran back to where I'd left the laptop (out in the middle of the terminal on a garbage can) and couldn't believe that it was still there. Two guys were standing looking at it...I'm sure they wondered if there was a bomb or something in it because of all the announcements they have at the airports about not leaving your bag unattended and if you see one left alone, to report it, etc. Anyway, I ran up, grabbed the bag...they both started laughing when I told them I'd already been on the plane and had to leave to get my laptop. I ran back to the gate and there was nobody there. The door was locked and I started banging on it but nobody could hear me...........sound like a bad dream yet????...sure felt like a nightmare. Anyway, I banged on the window and a young fellow looked up at me from the tarmack and I signalled to him to get someone to open the door. He smiled and started goofing around making hand signals back to me.........geez.......anyway, I guess he'd radioed someone to open the door and let me down the ramp and he was just enjoying making me crazy. So....back I went on to the plane with my laptop....and we finally got to relax till we arrived in Spokane....thank God!

Once in Spokane, of course, we found we had no luggage. All my precious scrapbooking supplies were somewhere between Dallas and Denver (who cares about our clothes!) The woman at the luggage counter said our bags should arrive at about 10:30 the next day and they'd call us then deliver them. Hopefully that has already happened today and Tom can bring them home tomorrow when he comes home. He had to stay down there to get some racks on his truck so it worked out ok. All in all, we were very lucky to get home, to make our connections and to get the laptop back after I left it behind in Denver....what a trip.

I think we are both happy to be home...was sure good to sleep in our own bed at Tom's place last night. Hopefully Tom will have no problem getting everything across the border tomorrow...guess he'll have to pretend to be a scrapbooker!

Hope you've enjoyed the blog...we keep posting on it as we do something new or go somewhere. It's kind of a good way to keep in touch with everyone at the same time.

Take care and we'll be in touch.

Sunday evening

Howdy y'all. Well, we bin down here in Texas fer 'most a week now and we done picked up a Texas drawl...and y'all are gonna have ta listen ta it fer a while when we git home.

We had fun today...went to that big swap meet and they didn't lie...it's HUGE! We walked from vendor to vendor for about four hours and didn't see half of the thing...believe it or not, we couldn't take much more than four hours of it. We bought another suitcase to bring all my scrapbooking stuff home in...ok...quit laughing. Picked up some souvineers and t-shirts. It's a lot like a market place rather than a swap meet. You can buy all sorts of fruit and vegetables, clothes, furniture, toys, etc. There are people who have storage units right on site and they set up their stores every weekend...they even had real estate people out there selling houses. There was a big place in the centre of the meet where kids could go for carousel rides or pony rides. Had some little cars for the kids to play on...lots of fun. There were several pet places, selling puppies, birds, reptiles and so on. I hate to think about the puppies coming from puppy mills, but they probably did. We went into one of the pet shops and they fellow had sugar gliders...they are the cutest little animals....Amy, if we could have brought one home (oops, two cuz they mate for life) for you, we sure would have. I'm sure you would have loved them. These little guys lived in a little purse and posed for me perfectly. They are native to Australia so maybe you saw some when you were down there.

After the swap meet, we came back here and made a sandwich then tried to fit all our stuff into our suitcases. On the way down our bag weighed in at 48 lbs., so we've got to make sure we don't go over 50 or we'll have to pay extra. I put all the heavy stuff in the carry on...good thing Tom's been working out!

Went out to dinner tonight at a place called Saltgrass Steak House. It's just down the road from the hotel so we could walk there. It was really a fun place to go and the food was excellent. Tom said it was the best prime rib he's ever had.

Well, our last day here will be tomorrow...we fly out at about 7:00 p.m. and will get into Spokane around midnight then stay at Tom's for the night and drive back on Tuesday. Sure wish I had another week or two off so I could stay down in my craft room and play with all my new stuff for a while. Oh well, work is much better these days than it was a couple months ago so guess I can hang in there for a couple more years and then retire and spend all my time cutting and pasting.

Talk with y'all soon.

T&C

still in texas

Hi again...sorry I didn't write yesterday, but do you understand how tiring a scrapbook convention can be...all that creativity and shopping...whew! I did several classes yesterday and did three today. All have been really good except for one yesterday that was just way too basic, plus the instructor (a guy) didn't know the difference between brads and eyelets....geez. Anyway, I've had a wonderful time and spent so much money that I can't retire now and will have to work for another five years!

Amy...Brenda...I bought a Kut-n-Klik....oh, my God! It's going to be sooooo cool. I really splurged, but then Tom keeps telling me not to worry and that I deserve it. Maybe he's right. Anyway, we'll have fun playing with it one day. Brenda, I've bought a bunch of baby scrapbook stuff too...some was so cute I couldn't resist. Maybe we can work on some of it together.

Tom has been absolutely wonderful this whole time. Our hotel has a workout centre so he's worked out every day and gone shopping and looking around the area. He found the world's largest swap meet in Arlington somewhere...guess we'll check it out tomorrow. There's 2600 vendors so that should be enough to keep us busy...good thing Tom's been working out.

The weather is still hot and humid. The sky rarely clears ..it's mostly cloudy, but sure is warm. We stopped at Walmart on the way home today and got salad so that's dinner tonight...it's good to have the little kitchen in this place so we can fix meals instead of eating out every night.

We went to the Park Mall today after scrapbooking. We wandered through...it's like Northtown only three times as big...everything seems to be bigger in Texas....smile. Tom bought me a pink sapphire and diamond ring....geez...he's way too good to me.

Hope you enjoy the pictures....the one of the new Dallas Cowboys Stadium is special for Matt.

take care

Scrappin' in Texas

Hi again everyone! Well, here we are in the Lone Star State of Texas and boy is it hot! Actually, it's not really the heat that is so bad, but it's the humidity...must be about 45%...almost like walking through water a fine mist. We'll survive though cuz we Canadians are supplying the states with enough electricity to run every air conditioner in the state and it's a good thing too cuz they need air conditioners down here!

We left early yesterday morning...5:00 a.m. and arrived here at 1:30 Texas time. They are two hours ahead of us but it was sure a long day. We tried to rent a car at the airport but all they had was a mustang convertible for $150 a day plus insurance, or a 15 passenger van. We could have chosen the van and I'm sure we could have filled it up with scrapbooking stuff, but Tom said no so we got a cab to the hotel and then went and found a rental car at a nearby rental company. Got a bright yellow PT Cruiser...kind of girly for Tom, but I love it. I've always thought they were funny looking little things but this one is really cute.

Our hotel room is really comfortable. It's certainly not fancy...if you want fancy, the Hilton is across the road...this one has a large living area with a couch, a small kitchen with eating bar, and a separate room with a nice comfy bed in it. We went out last night and bought a few groceries so we can have breakfast and snacks here. There are lots of steak houses around...that's what we'll do for supper tonight.

So....the whole reason we're here is for the Scrapbooking Convention...and all I can say is WOW....if I don't come home, you'll know I've lost myself in scrapbook stuff. It's absolutely awesome. I've got three classes each day and then there's the shopping...well, the whole floor of the convention centre (about as big as an ice arena) is full of different booths selling scrapbook stuff...stamps, paper, embelishments, just about anything you can imagine. I'm in HEAVEN!!! After my classes today I went shopping and only got 3/4 of the way around the outside of the convention floor...I'm going to have to start earlier tomorrow! Tom said he's taking away my credit card, but he doesn't know I have a bunch of cash to spend too!!!! I'm sure enjoying the convention.

Our hotel is right across from Six Flags and Hurricane Harbour...we can see the roller coasters from our window. Is fun to watch, but after having vertigo last year, I don't think I'll go for any crazy rides. There's plenty of things to do around here and since we've booked to stay a couple extra days, we'll have time to see the sights then.

They are building a new stadium for the Dallas Cowboys...it's got a retractable roof and looks like a big dome. The guy at the car rental place said that the trusses for the place were a mile and a quarter long....pretty wild. We saw the Texas Ranger's ball park too...we're hoping to catch a game while we're here...Cleveland Indians are playing so it might be a good game.

Well, I'll write more tomorrow...my shoulders are sore from carrying all my tote bags full of scrappin' stuff I bought around today. Maybe I can talk Tom into a shoulder rub.

ahhh....I'm loving this vacation!!!

Spring'08

Here it is Spring 2008 in beautiful British Columbia. The hummingbirds have arrived and can't seem to schedule their feeding times. Therefore it is quite busy at the feeder in the mornings and the evening. They don't seem to be very patient and spend most of their time chasing each other away from the feeder, making way for the few that are patient to get a drink. They have been a blast to watch and quite entertaining. We also have a smaller feeder on the front porch to take some of the pressure.



The big landscaping project so far this year was to clean up around the pond and try to keep the weeds down. It was quite a mess around there with lots of weeds, quack grass and volunteer flowers. I think I might have killed a few of the flowers in my haste to clean up the area but it certainly looks better than it did.



The flowers are blooming around the area. We spent most of the weekend filling planters and getting them situated around the house. The long planters border the back deck where we spend time when we want to eat outside or just sit in the shade in the evenings. They are wave petunias and fill up the planters nicely and cascade over the side with a lot of colour. We also filled some of the area along the lawn edge with some new flowers and Corrine worked hard to clean the weeds out of those gardens. We potted a bunch of sweet one hundreds tomatoes so should be eating a lot of salad when they start to ripen. We put some beefstake tomatoes that we started from seeds in the greenhouse. There is room in the greenhouse for more vegetables and I need to get busy and get them planted before it is too late.

We also filled some planters for the front porch. Corrine got some peat baskets to see how they will do. It is difficult to keep enough water on these with the afternoon sun on that side of the house. Hopefully they will do a better job of holding the water. We put some smaller pots on the deck in front of each post. They also have wave petunias. There are a variety of flowers in the hanging pots.... you need to ask Corrine what kind they are.... I am not up on all that stuff. We also filled some other pots along the driveway and up at the start of the driveway to dress up the place a little bit. We have some washtubs up there that are painted gold so show up nicely.

On the north side of the house the climatis is doing nicely. It is climbing up the trellis that we made out of crutches. The trellis is about nine feet tall so will take a lot of vines and flowers. Everything is a little slower to bloom on this side of the house because it sees little sunshine. The magnolia out front has had a rough life with being transplanted several times and it was broken in half with the snow last year. There were no blossoms but it is leafing out and doing much better this year. The rhododendrons are doing well this year and the azaleas are starting to bloom now. The roses all seemed to survive the winter and will bring us a lot of colour throughout the summer.

I made Corrine a garden cart this year. It is something more functional that a wheel barrow. The bottom tray is for plants, pots or anything else you might need to transport. The upper box is for tools, the top comes off and the box can be removed for larger loads. I'm sure the neighbours get quite a laugh out of seeing this goofy thing around the yard.... you won't see me with it... smile.

Have a nice Spring,

Tom & Corrine

Two Weeks in Mexico

Starting March 2nd, 2008 we left Spokane through Denver to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. We were a little late leaving Spokane because of icing conditions and the need to de-ice the airplane before takeoff. We arrived in Denver just in time to catch our next flight and then spent almost an hour on the tarmac waiting for de-icing there before we could take off. It was really nice to land in Puerto Vallarta and not see any snow. The only problem was that our luggage didn't arrive on the same flight as we did. It took a little while to convey that our luggage wasn't there and we gave them the name of our hotel and they said they would deliver the luggage when it arrived.

We had packed a change of clothes and other important stuff in a carry-on so weren't really in too much of a panic. We were quite hungry after spending all day on airplanes and in airports so found a nice restaurant down the street and had a nice meal... the margaritas were excellent! When we got back to the hotel, our luggage had arrived. It had been a long day but our room was over the street and it was quite noisy that night. Corrine talked to the hotel the next morning and they moved us to another room with a bit of a view of the ocean and off the busy street so we were much more comfortable. While she was doing so well with making changes, she called the airline to tell them how disappointed we were with them losing our luggage and changed our flight to a week later, extending our vacation to two weeks.

We spent the first week in Puerto Vallarta at the south end of the Malecon, walkway, and just south of the downtown area. There were a lot of shops and things to see within a short walking distance. We saw lots of sunsets and had some really good meals. We went to a couple of timeshare presentations to receive free breakfast and some other tours. We did buy into one timeshare so now we will have to take a vacation every year.... darn the luck. We went on a cruise across the bay, saw a nice Mayan show and had a very nice dinner on the beach. One other night we went to a show and dinner on the beach and observed some guy falling off the stage after a dance competition.... good thing he was drunk and apparently didn't hurt anything although I bet he felt it the next morning.

The next week we spent in Bucerias, a small community north of PV on Banderas Bay. The pace is a bit slower and much less traffic up there. The beach is much nicer and about seven miles long so we did a bunch of beach walking. We had a nice room with a balcony and view of the beach. There was a flea market area downtown with several shops and eating places. We were able to have dinner on the beach and see the sunset every evening even though the sun set over the mountains instead of the ocean from this location.

The whales put on a show for us on several occasions but getting a picture of them proved to be difficult. We got some pictures of the white water but no whales. We also got to see lots of dolphins from the beach in Bucerias. We had some fish, an eel and a small ray wash up on the beach while we were there. We walked the beach most every day and picked up shells and beach glass that had been smoothed by the action of the waves and sand.

It was a very relaxing holiday. The sunshine was abundant and the food was very good. It was a struggle to leave 'paradise'... and a bit of a shock to arrive in Spokane to snowfall and reality. We got back on the 15th near midnight so it was a long day after leaving PV about noon. We are looking forward to going back.

New Bathroom

It all started one January day. It took almost a month but we finished and are quite happy with the revisions. As you can see, the old house was quite a mess and it was a lot of work but well worth it.

The pressure was on to complete the job as running up and down the stairs in the middle of the night was somewhat dangerous. A cat could be laying in the middle of the stairs, lying in wait. We completed the project without any injuries.

The new bathtub, sink, countertop, floor and toilet are quite nice. We tiled around the shower with ceramic tiles and, althought it was a lot of work, it looks very nice. The bathtub was a tight fit and required that we cut a hole in the wall to get it into place. The plumbing was a nightmare, matching up to the old piping. I got some 'Shark' fittings at Home Depot that just clamp onto the copper pipe and allow you to use PVC from that point on. That was a lot easier than trying to solder to those old pipes. We had to relocate the faucet and showerhead because the new bathtub was a bit wider.

Corrine did a wonderful job of setting the tiles and kept me busy running back and forth to the tile saw cutting pieces to fit. We had enough tiles to go all the way to the ceiling and out past the tub. The tiles make the room look much bigger.

The old countertop was quite a mess so we just screwed some new fiberboard on top of it and glued down some laminate. The new sink was a different shape so it requited a new top. We put panels on the walls up to the tile so didn't have to do much taping a plastering. The new paint was quite bright and clean.

As you can see, it is now complete and we are enjoying it. You can, too. Come and say "Hello".

Ode de Toilet

We started this backbreaking task

With dirty clothes and dusk mask

We fixed the walls and floor
