YES!!! You read that correctly! I know you are all DYING. Yvonne and I met through blogging and have become very dear friends. It is a friendship I treasure. She lives in the bucolic countryside of Lancaster county. It is GORGEOUS, and just a 45 minute drive for me. This is not the first time I have been at Stone Gable, we have shared several lunches, dinner and she has been here. I did NOT take pictures at her house, I will leave it to her to blog about our lunch if she wants to. But, I wanted to share this beautiful scenery. This is not Yvonne's house, just an Amish home along the way.
This part of Lancaster county is Amish country. There are many horse and buggies to see and the MOST adorable little children you will ever lay eyes on!
I promise, I pulled over and stopped for these shots, I didn't get them while speeding along the road:):)
But the scenery along the way is spectacular and I wanted to share that. As you can see in my mirror, there was noone behind me:):)
There are many farms along the way. I saw alot of cows and horses but there was always someone behind me then and I couldn't stop.
This is the town of Strasburg, Pa. they have a train depot and museum that my hubby and I have seen several times.
I was STOPPED in traffic, due to road construction and this guy just happened to be here!
Joe and I love to take a day trip, drive up to Lancaster county and shop, have a nice lunch and come home. We have done that MANY times. It is great shopping too. Yvonne is lucky to live in this wonderful area. THANK YOU, Yvonne for another wonderful day together. As you can imagine, lunch was FABULOUS!!!! I was so full, I didn't eat dinner:):) Thanks to you all for stopping by. XO, Pinky
Oh how fun and what a glorious day. I love this area and the farms are all so pristine. Fabulous to see. Having lunch with Yvonne would be such a treat, she is such a lovely lady. I know lunch was super delicious too, what a great cook. Hugs, Marty

You lucky lady, you!! Lunch at Yvonne's......mmmm mmmm mmm! I also love Lancaster County and have spent many happy days there. I love the shopping and, of course, the food. The scenery always takes my breath away. xo
ReplyDeleteIt is so much fun to meet bloggers! What a gorgeous place. I would love to visit that area of the U.S. I have been all over Europe but have seen very little of the U.S.! How was the showing???? :-)
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful Pinky. Just gorgeous scenery surrounding her home. I bet lunch was fantastic.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely way to spend a day! That's an area of Pa. I've not been to (was born in Erie but moved away when very young). Thank you for including the great pictures. Isn't it amazing how we make friends by way of the internet now. I'd like to meet both of you lovely ladies. Thanks for sharing!!
ReplyDeleteI love that area. We went there in the 90's to see the Amish and do some shopping! I'm sure you had a wonderful meal with Yvonne! I bet it was a great experience!
ReplyDeleteI'm a jealous wreck 'cause I wasn't there! :-) Seriously, you two are so fortunate to be able to do this...glad you enjoyed the day!

Pinky....Lancaster County is heaven on earth!!...Been there many times and whenever we are anywhere near the area, our car takes a detour just to ride through the gorgeous countryside...Spent many vacations, Staying in Strasburg and waking up to the sounds of the horses clopping down the streets....Love seeing the childen play in the yards of the farms...
ReplyDeleteThe Amish farms are the most beautiful farms around...always impeccable...I could go on and on about that area....
I can only imagine how wonderful lunch was with Yvonne...you are very blessed to have each other as friends!
Pinky,
ReplyDeleteWhat anamazing trip! The scenery is gorgeous!!! I'm so glad that you and Yvonne have such a TRUE friendship. I know you came away full of good food and filled with new hope for the days ahead!

It's wonderful, Pinky, that you and Yvonne have become close friends. She sure does live in a beautiful part of the country. Thanks for taking us along for the ride.
ReplyDeletePinky - what a blessing - lunch with Yvonne at Stone Gable - how fun! I am a BIG fan of Yvonne, her talents and love that she always gives all glory to God. She is a testimony of his greatness. I live in SC but originally from NJ - headed to Lancaster to look for treasures with my sister. Any cute and reasonable antique shops? Vanessa
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful scenery!
ReplyDeleteVanessa, There is a great antique shop in Strasburg, right along Rt. 896. There are also other ones along 896 on the way to Rockvale outlets. I would suggest e-mailing Yvonne and asking her cause I know she has a fovorite antique shop and I forget which one it is. XO, Pinky
