Amish buggy ride

I went Amish! I was to go to my friends house this morning in Mill Hall for an Empty Bobbins xmas party. Left the house at 9. No rain. Went over the Loganton mt on Rockey road and at the top which was 15 minutes later, it was a solid sheet of ice. so I couldn't get down into Mill Hall, I pulled into a church and they invited me inside for the childrens Christmas play. They were really nice to me. Came out at 11:30 and the road was slushy so I figured get home. Got 1/2 way down rockey road and it turned to ice again. So I called Craig, he said you have gas, pull off the road, keep warm by running the car. I pulled over at the last farm on that road, which had burned down a month ago, so I was alone on the mt and along came an Amish buggy heading for Rauchtown, he picked me up. It was a closed in buggy so we didn't get wet. The horse did good, didn't slide but the buggy kept sliding off the road, he was coming right by the house to visit his friends that bought Pop Knarrs old farm. I told him small world and he turned out to be cousin to the little Henry Beiler who comes up to our house to do wood. What a fun ride. Can't believe it. I told Craig I am going to sell my story for movie rights! I had fun all day being stranded. My girlfriends from Wmpst. went 220 and was stuck on the beltway for 2 hr 45 min till a salt truck came. They were freezing and eating the cookies they were to take to the party.Patti had to go potty so nothing to do but hold a blanket up between the car doors so she could go. What a day to remember. Craig and I went back after the car around 4. The plow trucks still have not done anything to the roads

Winter is here. We put up a gazebo over the hot tub. Now we can be out in the tub in the rain and snow. I also do not have to shovel the top off. The top is new and we don't want it ruined by weather. I decorated it with lights inside. It is neat. Notice all the wood that is ready for the long cold winter. Craig and I just both had our right hands operated on so we are both very sore and not lifting alot.

I just found a web site for making puzzles of your pictures. Its jigsawPlanet.com Below is a puzzle of mine with my dogs

Going into fall

Got back from Shane & Kristi's beginning of Aug. we spent 1 week out there. My mom passed away Aug 25 so suddenly. I have just been trying to get back together since then. She is really the last my relatives that give a hoot about me. Now I have just Shane, Kristi, Craig and Helen and Wayne.
My garden did somewhat good. Tomatoes and Asparagus. A few peppers. Pulling the boat in the next week. Time to stack wood. They start delivering in 2 weeks.
I am posting some pictures of out in WA state w/ the kids.

Yard Sale Aftermath

Community yardsale yesterday. Always second sat of May. I had stuff from grams estate and other stuff that needed sorted out and finally do something with it. Craigs mom brought down some stuff too. She came down to help. We ended up making about 130$ and Anna's 2 girls and 2 boys came up for a cook out and to visit. Amish kids. They are so good.

After the kids left and we relaxed it was time to break out the beer. Helen wanted a drink of Craigs and I snapped this picture. She said during the day, if she was younger, she would buy a trike motorcycle. She was wearing my harley davidson hat all day and got a great picture of her. We had fun.
