Day 4 -- Sunday  

Posted by cokelady

Pennsylvania at last! It’s been a long, but enjoyable four days on the road and we finally made it to a very rainy Pennsylvania this evening. The kids were thrilled to finally be at Grandma and Grandpa’s house and quickly located all of the toys that are kept stored on the front porch and drug them into the living room. It’s been a whole year since they’ve been here and they were so excited to see their Grandparents—Sam didn’t even have to “warm up” to them this time, so that was great. We look forward to a really great week here with the Horne side of the family.

We got here tonight and James ran into town with his Dad to pick up some Danny’s Pizza for dinner. Danny’s Pizza is nasty stuff—just like the cafeteria pizza they used to have at school when I was a kid with the soy cheese and all—but James grew up on it and thinks it’s the greatest thing in the world. Gross. Anyway, I unloaded the van while he was gone and got it cleaned up, came inside and got us all unpacked, then bathed all of our smelly children before putting them to bed. It feels good to get all of that taken care of. I am so tired!

Hhmmm. I can’t seem to think of anything else to say. That’s strange! Ha! Perhaps it’s because I’m not really blogging right now. I’m actually writing all of the up as a Word document because I can’t get on the Internet tonight. James’ folks have super-duper slow dial-up access, but I don’t know all of the configurations to be able to use our laptop to get on—and it’s not worth it to try to use their computer! Ha! So I figured I’d just type this up tonight and maybe we can pull into a parking lot (somewhere with easy access) tomorrow and be able to copy it onto the blog real quick. We’ll see.

I look forward to all of the Amish stuff around here—I love the little stores they have all over the place. They’ve got the best meats and cheeses in the world, among other things. We’ll go to Bellville on Wednesday—that’s when they have their big “market” set up, so we always do that while we’re here. We’ll have to get some whoopie pies. :-)

Well, I think I’m all out of things to say. Lucky dogs. ;-) Later!

Oooh, Amish stuff! I've always wanted to go to Lancaster County. Think you can stop in Nashville next yer to pick up 4 hitchhikers?? LOL! :-)

What in the world is a "whoopie pie?"

Sorry about the deleted comment. I'm sitting in an internet cafe, in south Seattle, using my husband's laptop and I can't exactly call this connection, HIGH SPEED, so when I thought that I might not have hit enter and hit it, I found out that I had already hit it.

Ha! I would LOVE to pick up some hitchhikers next year, Rachel--just name the exit # and we'll start making our plans now. ;-) It's always such a great trip up here.

A whoopie pie. Hhmmm. They make lots of flavors of them, but the original whoopie pie consists of two large, very soft chocolate cookie kind of things with homemade "cream" in between them. They also make some with banana "cookies" or some chocolate ones with green mint cream in the middle--oh, all sorts of flavors. The consistency is very much like a twinkie, but the cream is much better. Does that help any, or are you still wondering what one is after all of that?! Ha!

No, your description makes sense, I'm just trying to decide whether I would want to try one or not. ~wink~ I have been getting adventerous in the food tasting of late, so who knows, I might actually try it, given the opportunity.
