Then he says, " You know, Grannie, I am telling you all this for your own good." :roll: :lol: :roll: :lol:

They just laughed at me! But even my DH said that any of you are welcome to stay with us if you are on your way through MT. And I would meet with any of you!!!

Same goes for me. I am about a 1/2 hour from Amish country and about 45 min from Lancaster. Would love to connect with you guys if you are ever in the area.

That is great! Wish I could have driven to meet up with you girls. I am in the center of the state! Appleton is about 110 miles (give or take a few miles) from me, and Nancy's Notions is about 130 miles from me heading south east.

You will LOVE it at NN. I got lost looking at every thing. Day dreaming and planning ahead. HINT: BRING LOTS OF MONEY or a high limit credit card! Oh, how I wish I was able to accompany you girls!
