Sights and Sounds of Lancaster

It's official- I have toured America's first and oldest pretzel bakery. What a delicious way to start the morning! To follow that, we visited Wilbur Chocolates and continued indulgence :)



Sarah and I have been on the lookout for a real horse and buggy, on the road, since our last visit to Lancaster, nearly 4 years ago. Today on our exploration of Amish countryside, we spotted SIX authentic buggies in motion! And then we saw this guy on a tractor?

Casino!

Dad and I celebrated an early Father's Day with a trip to Presque Isle Downs and Casino. This was my first casino experience- now I am ready for Vegas! I couldn't believe how many people were there on a Wednesday afternoon- 1,000's of gamblers, everywhere! We both came out ahead and I won enough to cover my airfare back to Florida!

Baby cows!

Spring is the time of year for baby cows! All 11 of them are red with white faces and SO CUTE! Even the mama's are cute with their really big heads :)

Lovely Lilacs

When I arrived in Pennsylvania, Mom had a fresh bouquet of lilacs on the kitchen table. They smell like spring!

PA is so GREEN

I am visiting home for a few days and marveling at the spring colors! I just finished mowing the grass and it's just gorgeous how lush green every looks. As soon as I return to Florida, I am working on landscaping my own front yard!

Dog Sitting

Mav and Sheb's had a great time dogsitting with me this weekend- they played outside all day long with two other big doggies, one brown, one black.  Don't Sheba and Rocco look like twins?  He wears a glow-in-the-dark collar and she has a white patch on her chest and little white she-toes, but when they are in a full sprint, its just a black blur.  Maverick hunted for hours and hours in the woods, looking up the sky for birds, and sniffing around everywhere.  We're all back home tonight, snuggled in our own bed together (and Sheba is snoring!)
