Worth the Wait!

Last week we were able to visit one of our favorite places: Intercourse, PA. As I mentioned a few weeks ago when we went to Lancaster to the Sight and Sound theatre, we love the Lancaster area, but specifically Intercourse. The small town is brimming with shops, food and scenery to enjoy. It had been several years since we've been there.

Jerry, and his son, Eric, were to go to Brookville, PA last week, but because of health concerns for both of them, they didn't go. I was going to go with Jerry when Eric cancelled, but then Jerry decided, no, he wouldn't be able to do the things he wanted too. That's when God brought Lancaster to mine.

Mom and Sam were already scheduled to go to friend's home's (different ones) so I suggested we get away overnight for a break. We hadn't been away since Mom came to live with us last August. Jerry liked the idea! We were off.

The B&B we stayed at was on a main road into Intercourse. I was up early the next morning to snap the scenery. While sitting on the gazebo (above) I snapped this picture of an early morning horse and buggy going by.

I love this scene, taken from the parking lot of the Kitchen Kettle Village. I spotted it as we were leaving the shopping village. Such a serene and restful picture!

Spotted this field of lambs as we drove around. Do all four belong to her? The other momma appeared to have three (one out of the picture).

It was amazing watching this boy handle the team of horses. Even in the turn the boy held firm and able!

We stopped at the house below to buy some bird houses. A typical front yard with clothes on the line.

Two Amish families were enjoying a picture on the other side of the horse and buggies. It's not often we see buggies and horses resting at a covered bridge.

These blooms at the B&B were a delight to see!



Another lovely view of a farm as we drove roads north of Intercourse.

It was a wonderful two days and one night in a favorite destination. I treated myself to a delicious cupcake, fit for a queen! I won't forget where that bake shop is in Bird-In-Hand!
