Peace and Blessings

It is yellow and when you open it, a lot of the places are marked. Shady Maple is the place to eat - around $9 all you can eat. And you can always take a red marker and highlight the places you like. Goods is remodeling (next to Shady Maple) but I just got Bonnie Blue and other brand name fabric for $2.49 yd. in flat folds. Also Zooks had some of the same fabric for $2.59. Zooks usually have a truck load sale when the big quilt shows are in Lancaster. BTW, the yellow map has the hotels on too.

Wish I could get there!

Have you planned your next trip yet??? LOL
Have a great weekend!

Making me homesick too as I am from Lancaster. No one here eats scrapple or talks about it without making a face or red beet eggs either for that matter.

Good Grief!!! Never heard anyone else talk about red beet eggs!!! We made some for the neighbors here once, and they turned up their noses at the color. Evidently they didn't know what they were missing. The pickled eggs they have here are just vinegar and maybe some mustard seed to color the liquid a bit...they look rather "pukey" to me. We never called it scrapple, it was always panhaus (pronounced pawn-hoss). They turn up their noses at that too...too bad for them! I remember "I WANT MY MAYPO" too...that's too funny!

Ain't the internet grand? LOL!

Yeah, but it's wayyy better fresh and warm with vanilla ice cream on top!!! And you haven't lived until you've had a custard filled, chocolate covered doughnut from Achenbach's Bakery!!! THEY ARE TO DIE FOR!!!
