Elsewhere (the Motorhome) didn't get much rest! We just got home from a few days in the beautiful Shenandoah Mountains of Virginia. One of the most beautiful areas of our country - and the Mennonite people are so very nice. But...we may have to put a stop to going to their annual sale since we can't resist buying beautiful quilts!!! Only three came home with us - we justify this extravagance by knowing that all the quilts, furniture and other items are made and donated by the Mennonite people and all proceeds go to charities. |
| Making Ice Cream by riding a bicycle |
If you ever get a chance - you should go to one of these events - delicious food, all kinds of beautiful handmade things...and some great music. Apple Butter, Pies, Cakes, Ice Cream. They churn the ice cream by riding a bicycle hooked up to the ice cream maker!
There are numerous sales all over the US and some in Canada.
We spent some time in Harrisonburg - beautiful town - home of James Madison University, Eastern Mennonite University --- and the Virginia Quilt Museum. Yep we did go to the Quilt Museum - how in the world did they make those wonderful quilts back then without all our nice tools? Guess it took a long time.
Ken went to the tractor pull Saturday night since it was conveniently located at the same location as the Auction Sale - and we were enjoying one of their campsites - even had wi-fi.
Apple Fest at some small town on the way home - bought several varieties - some I have not seen before. I only took a short nap - accidentally fell asleep while reading on the sofa - what a way to travel!
