A Bad Day Turned Better

I had to go down to Lancaster the other day to take care of some paperwork so I could get paid for work I did back in the summer. FBI fingerprinting, child abuse clearances, legal citizen stuff to make sure I'm not a danger to the kids. Good to know they're taking care of this months after I first stood in front of a kid. Anyhow...

We decided to not make a total wash of one of Laura's precious off-days and both go down and maybe make it enjoyable. We planned to go on a covered bridge tour, but we found so much more than covered bridges. How lame does that sound? Pretty. And that's fine.

Laura acts like she built this.

Ne'er a greener field found.

The Amish do play volleyball. Their ball actually rolled into
the road in front of our car. I got out and threw it
back to them. They were quite receptive.

The last of the bridges.

Checking structural integrity.

We hope to one day live near a covered bridge that runs over a stream that flows thru our backyard, like this place...

Think it's for sale?

Now we were hungry. The tour led us into downtown Lititz. We went to Danner's Deli and had what else, pretzel sandwiches.

Always on the hunt for the perfect jelly cupboard.

This one comes close. Only thing wrong was the price tag.

We found some inspiration for kitchen redesign.

We did.

We did this too.

Like a kid in a candy store. I got chocolate covered coconut clusters and she got butter toffee peanuts. They're already gone.

Yup that says kangaroo. You ever eaten kangaroo?

IMG_4096
I have.

Ducks!! Wonder if they're hungry. Good thing there's a duck food dispenser nearby.

They're thinking about it. I did get one to eat right out of my hand.

All of the sudden there were thousands of ducks. We fled the scene.

Which one is real?
